There is no vacant land in the city limits, they should go through the property records within the city limits to identify any and all property owned by the State or the COunty and if there are any, Begin Eminent Domain Seizures.
Or simply proceed without one. Surely it annoys them that we even expect them to play by the rules we lessers must.
“You can find me working on my tan, down at the cee-mint pond!”
Especially when the chickens coming home to roost QWAP on the elitist DumbClucks.
A bit of schadenfreude to start the morning is always uplifting.
Eminent domain is where the government seizes private property for public use. I have no clue what you are trying to say because the government cannot seize property from itself.
So what. This is happening to virtually every city dwelling homeowner in the US, in one form or another.
Maybe it’s time for Cities to Seize Property through Eminent Domain any Property owned by the State or the County to satisfy their demands for Low Income Housing.
keep in mind that those “wrong people with wrong agendas making the decisions that are destroying communities” were voted into office by the same people who are being affected by the destruction of their communities. “elections have consequences and then everyone suffers the consequences” applies. liberals never expect to suffer the consequences of their voting strictly for liberals...until they do. our experience with chickens coming home to roost is that as soon as they roost...they crap non-stop. ON the roost. here’s hoping these folks will appreciate that the manure is great for virtue signalling friends that you’ve gone green!
If Beverly Hills took federal funding for sidewalks, roads or infrastructure then the government mandates that they build housing approved by HUD or the FHA. This includes section 8 and housing that is supported by government assistance. Quit accepting federal funding. There’s always a catch.
judge may have halted the issuance of building permits, but the city could quietly simply quit enforcement, perhaps even disband the enforcement unit ... another tactic the city could employ is to change the requirements for building permits, e.g., permits required only if the remodel/upgrade costs over 5 million dollars ...
still, given that the whole shebang there is probably nearly 100% Democrat, they probably don’t have the will/desire to lift their bureaucratic middle finger to said judge ...
Rich denizens of Beverly Hills are the very ones who host $1,000+ a plate fund raisers for the likes of Obama, Biden and Gavin Newson - why they’re always flying in, closing freeways, causing inconvenience.
No community in California deserves to have affordable housing more than 90201. Hope the courts stick it to them and mandate even more “affordable” housing.
They whole-heartedly deserve what they support - they were sure that “affordable” housing was going to be built in YOUR neighborhood, not yours.
The idea is to export crime to every neighborhood. Then pass laws increasing government power and limiting freedom to solve the crime problem.
Amen to that.
In California it is state senator Scott Wiener from San Francisco who is behind this destructive legislation - he got a bill passed, Newsom signed, that null and voided all local zoning - meaning the state now mandates all zoning laws.
It is now legal to build up to four units on any property once designated as single-family home - State Sen. Wiener has declared single-family homes “immoral.” Cities are also being mandated to build tens of thousands of “affordable” units - there are massive projects going up on the outskirt of my own town - never mind we are under water mandates and our electrical grid is overloaded (I get alerts during heat waves to not plug in EVs and to turn off all large appliances).
You can now divide your property in two, build an ADU and sell that separately.
This is to utterly destroy single-family neighborhoods and push us all into Soviet-style block apartments.
Yukyuk
Beverly hills is already full of Muslims and assorted foreign Nationals with money.
What up burn!
Chop you low California
Rich people have ways of getting around the “rules.”
They have nothing to worry about.
Rules are for the little people.
I spent some time in Redondo Beach/Torrance with a coastal view. Owners of any property with a view had to put up flags for approval of building additions or complete rebuilds. The cheapest crap shack with a view was well over a million dollars 6 years ago. Being on a hillside, that part of Redondo beach isn’t conducive for multifamily housing. I wonder if the CA bill trumps the local zoning in this regard?
It is healthy housing markets that produce “affordable housing”. They - healthy housing markets - create enough new houses, which helps keep new house prices from increasing excessively, which also generates “buying up” buyers who put their “more afforable” homes on the market.
The probelm with the “affordable housing” political agenda is that they also want “affordable housing” to be as good as the best housing.
I grew up in “affordable” housing all my youth.
Sometimes it was in a tiny town (6,000 people) 50 miles from the nearest Air Force base, which we had to move off of when my dad was sent to Japan during the Korean war. The former residence on that base was adequate but spartan. That tiny town and the house we moved into there because demand and prices in that little town were not high, particularly like the older home we moved to.
Next we again had “affordable” military housing in another state; again adequate but spartan.
Then we moved to another state (another military reassignment) where we rented one half of a duplex residence. Three bedrooms was small for a family of nine - four buys, three girls and mom and dad, but we never noticed it to be “inadequate”.
On the next assignment to another state we moved into housing that had been WWII military barracks that had been converted into apartments. They took two units in one building, made a cased opening between them, giving our large family two kithens, two living rooms, two bathrooms and four bedrooms. Yes, more space, with a central kerosene fueled - sitting in the open - heater in each unit and a rook that leaked like a sive in the rain. But it was affordable on dad’s military pay. After one winter we moved to a large spacious old house on the edge of town. Large and spacious were about its only redeaming qualities. In the basement was the central heating unit for the house - a giant coal fired heating system, which in the winter was not great competition for the windows that leaked like sive. But we managed, loved the creaky old house, and it was affordable for mom and dad.
Only when we moved to Californa during a big housing boom there did mom and dad manage to find an affordable newly built home. In terms of housing markets they could not have found a better time.
“Affordable” is what you can afford, period, and the rest is what you make do with; and you survive. Our family of ten did and any family can today.
