California could bring radical change to single-family-home neighborhoods
LA Times ^ | LIAM DILLON

If you live in a single-family home in California, it’s likely everyone else in your neighborhood does too.

That could change under a state measure that would require California cities and counties to permit duplexes, triplexes and fourplexes on much of the residential land now zoned for only single-family houses. The proposal was recently added to Senate Bill 50, legislation by Sen. Scott Wiener (D-San Francisco) that also would allow mid-rise apartment construction near mass transit as well as small apartment complexes and town homes in wealthy communities in large counties including Los Angeles.

And soon there will be howls of protest from people complaining about their “loss of property value” even though they complain about the taxes levied upon that very same property value.

@BrendanDentino
Again, the most important aspect of #SB50 is not density near transit, it’s opening exclusionary and wealthy urban communities to much-needed housing development near jobs.”

those dang ray-ciss libtards don’t want die-versity near them.

Get them all living near lots of cameras.

Get them out of cars, into easily monitored places.

Panopticon-ish, ya know..?

In 2020 new construction will require solar panels.

Medium priced dwelling units = $500,000 in LA, probably.

Figures, the bill’s sponsor is another Wiener. Maybe it’s Anthony’s brother?

From the author of the article:

"Liam Dillon ✔ @dillonliam Remarkable. Just moderated a panel where the mayors of San Jose, Oakland and Sacramento all said they were in favor of eliminating single-family only zoning in their cities 2,439 6:47 PM - May 10, 2019"

yeah, that's the ticket!

Dammit. I really wish California would stop sucking so badly so all these transplants would move back home.

You have a housing crisis.

You have thousands of people homelessness.

So what's the solution?

You build more friggin' housing!

This is basic, common-sense supply-and-demand here. There are probably developers just chomping at the bit ready to build apartment high-rise skyscrapers.

The state should buy Michael Jackson's Neverland Ranch and allow development there.

But what most people don't understand is that the homelessness crisis is by design.

It is designed that way by statists who control city governments because they no longer want families or the working class in their cities.

They want their gated compounds with fellow elites, and they enjoy watching people huddled around 55-gallon drums for heat and living off the streets, begging the elites for handouts like baby birds with their beaks out.

“You build more friggin’ housing!’

I’m guessing the ‘green’ laws would make anything but a gov’t project too expensive.

Well we have our five acres here in the State of Jefferson and really don’t have much to do with the rest of California south of Marysville. It really doesn’t concern me.
