The battle over housing is back at the state Capitol....
...For some time, a main focus of housing legislation has been to bulk up density along major transit corridors. That concept appears to have broad support. But the real fight is over key provisions that allow for two, three or four units — and sometimes more — to be built on lots zoned for single-family homes...
...Eliminating single-family zoning has become a bedrock goal for many housing advocates. It is also one vociferously opposed by suburban homeowner groups ...Such developments would have to be within a half-mile of transit lines, job centers or near existing urbanized areas.

This may be California, but it’s my understanding that the Biden Administration has settled on the policy of making it prohibitively expensive to remain in single family homes, due to their lack of ‘sustainability’. So, sure, some people will still have the means to stay in their houses, but most will read the writing on the wall, and start moving into the high-rise apartments to be built along ‘transportation corridors’, and thereby drastically lowering their environmental footprint. At which point, much of the housing stock can be torn down and replaced by open land or wilderness areas.
The early clues for this will be energy prices and property taxes going way up, but other means, including building codes, lack of police protection, personal vehicle mandates for ‘sustainability’, etc. are also in the mix.
They already do everything possible to discourage building, just go down and try to get a building permit to build a home on your property. It will cost you at least $100K just to get through the Paperwork, plus any expenses necessary to satisfy their lust for power and control over their fellow man.
