    Newsom ended single-family zoning in Cali

    Far from it.

    he is a god among inferiors.

    Nah, he’s just another rich and powerful crook looking out for the other rich and powerful crooks. Nothing new except the grin is extra smug

      Can you copy-paste that article? The paywall is making it impossible to read.

          I’m bout to overbuild on this real estate (keeping the pun rolling)

          What is Senate Bill 9? Senate Bill 9 is the most controversial of the two new laws. It allows property owners to split a single-family lot into two lots, add a second home to their lot or split their lot into two and place duplexes on each. The last option would create four housing units on a property currently limited to a single-family house. The new law will mark a shift from current policies that allow only two large units — a stand-alone house and an accessory dwelling unit — on single-family lots, as well as an attached junior unit no larger than 500 square feet. Under the new law, cities and counties across California will be required to approve development proposals that meet specified size and design standards.

          This is a fucking awesome first step.

          What is Senate Bill 10? Senate Bill 10 eases the process for local governments to rezone neighborhoods near mass transit or in urban areas to increase density with apartment complexes of up to 10 units per property. The new legislation also allows cities to bypass lengthy review requirements under the California Environmental Quality Act in an attempt to help reduce costs and the time it takes for projects to be approved.

          This is what he did that I find exciting. Cali is a shit hole of local ordinances that fuck up the housing market

          A flat out ban on SFH would be ideal, preferably nationwide, but this is a start. Campaigns are won one battle at a time.
