Watch out, NIMBYs. Newsom just dumped single-family zoning
Los Angeles Time (Yahoo! News) ^ | 9/17/21

Posted on 09/18/2021 10:34:33 AM PDT by millenial4freedom

In one of his first moves after surviving the recall, Gov. Gavin Newsom took his boldest steps yet to fix
California’s housing shortage by signing a package of
bills that will transform the state by getting rid of
single-family zoning and making it easier to build the
housing the state so desperately needs.

Of the three housing bills Newsom signed Thursday, the most
consequential is Senate Bill 9 because it will
allow up to four units of housing on a single-family lot.
Another, Senate Bill 10, creates a voluntary program that makes it easier for cities to
upzone any urban or transit-adjacent parcel of land,
including a single-family lot, to allow a building of 10 units or fewer.

Maybe I'm naïve, but isn't this...good? I question why Newsom would advance this seemingly reasonable policy change.

NO, it's NOT good. It's a war on the suburbs. Do some research on it, and you'll see. Obama started the war.

Basically, he wants to take every suburban neighborhood that is still decent and fill it with Section 8 housing complexes full of gangs, illegal aliens, and drug pushers.

My impression is that it makes starter-homes for families too expensive for a young family to afford. People will have to live in complexes and pay rent for longer to save the money for a house. This could mean delaying a family or putting one off altogether.

Now, if you don’t mind raising a family in a rental community (the path taken by a lot of immigrants) then maybe it is good news.

No. It is not good.

It is very, very bad.

The wealthy ‘Rats will never feel the adverse effects of this disastrous legislation. Their neighborhoods in BelAir, Baldwin Park, Beverly Hills, Napa, Marin will be forever single family dwellings.

Ordinary people who work hard, save and get mortgages in order to live in decent neighborhoods are going to be damaged by this legislation.

Tent cities, Baby, tent cities.

Was in CA last week for a wedding, and saw one off the freeway just outside the Berzerkley city limits. Literally knee deep in garbage.

With all due respect, you are incredibly naive..

READ Mark Levin's words on this subject of DESTROYING THE SUBURBS..

Imagine you live in a million dollar home on a quiet street in a great, crime-free neighborhood such as Palos Verdes, for example.. THEN, Blackrock buys the house on the corner that you see out your front window. They TEAR DOWN THE SINGLE-FAMILY HOUSE and build a 6 story apartment complex with underground parking.. BOOM, suddenly you have a hundred OF MEXICANS, HAITIANS, SOMALIS, swarming your neighborhood, CARS PARKED EVERYWHERE AND CRIME SKYROCKETING IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD..

SUCKS, DON'T IT? Levin WARNED America about this, and the DESTRUCTION OF THE SUBURBS to be caused by Team Biden, Newsom, Whitmer, etc.. Even Trump touched upon this topic during one of his rallies prior to the 2020 election.. HARDLY ANYONE ELSE WAS DISCUSSING THIS AND THE MEDIA SURE AS HELL DIDN'T.

Enjoy your housing projects lifestyle, millennial!

And, no....it is NOT a good thing.

Good, if you’re a globalist trying to squeeze in as many people, into an area, as possible.

Interesting, though, that a millennial would even consider this as “good”.

Welcome to FR.

This is the logical follow-up to the Left’s abandonment of marriage and single families long ago.

We all know that high-density, low-income housing will not be installed in the neighborhoods of the rich and famous, but in lower middle-class and middle-class neighborhoods. Single family housing in those neighborhoods will gradually disappear and be replaced by apartments. Owning one’s own home will no longer be part of the American dream, it will be a privilege of the rich.

Why would it be good if your house value goes down because instead of there being million dollar homes areound you and those that can afford those, you have the neighborhood flooded with those that could afford only a house 1/4 of that?

Ping me if you get a reply, from OP.

Something tells me they’re perfectly fine with this situation, that you’ve described.

Sort of like the “this is fine” dog.

Dr. Thomas Sowell often touches upon the subject of rent controls, etc., and the disastrous effect it has on families and folks trying to buy a simple house to raise one.

The real big question I have is what does it say about parking? How many off-street spaces per dwelling unit?

I have seen lots of older communities where the streets are packed with cars from illegal units in basements. Now that will extend throughout the suburbs.

Oh yeah and WHY DID GAVIN NUISANCE WAIT until immediately AFTER the recall election to enact the abolition of single-family zoning???

BECAUSE HE KNEW PEOPLE IN THE SUBURBS WOULD BE FURIOUS ABOUT IT, THAT'S WHY.

ANOTHER aspect of this destruction of the suburbs is that IT CHANGES CITES AND TOWNS FROM RED TO BLUE. Add thousands of Section 8 housing BLUE VOTERS to your RED STREET and you end up with a BLUE STREET!
