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.

Washington, DC was once infamous for its alley dwellings.

Near the Capitol, you will sometimes see once modern apartment houses that replaced alley dwellings and the rowhouses in front.
“Oftentimes backhouses were built behind tenements or ‘tenementized’ rowhouses (houses which were split up and converted to multi-family dwellings) as a way of simply squeezing more living units into the tiny amount of available land. Thus, sometimes they had windows with little light or air, as they were often mere feet from the walls or windows of the front house or tenement or neighboring buildings. Typically these were built as neighborhoods such as the Village or East Village became awash with immigrants, who paid low rents but were squeezed by the dozens into tiny spaces with sometimes unimaginably challenging living conditions. Unlike the “classic” example cited above, these backhouses usually had several units, even though the buildings themselves were tiny, and could be built up as tall as the front structure, sometimes four or five stories in height.”

Destroys property values.
Remember this when you see that inbound Chinese sub nuke...
Yes. "Brutalist", is the architectural term for Soviet linear concrete.
“So many alley houses were being developed that alley housing was banned by Congress in 1892.”

“In 1934 there was an Alley Dwelling Authority created for a final push to remove the remaining 40% of the original dwellings. Although this project was to be completed by 1944, it ended up continuing until 1955 with continuing difficulties in eradication.”
Yes Water... All Utilities and services will be a major problem.
The size of sewer mains, sewer plants, water mains, water treatment facilities, water supply / rights, water storage, electrical load on power grids, power generation, natural gas loads, increased drainage loads, garbage services, mail service, grocery store capacities,parking.
Currently we can’t afford to replace / repair the services we already have.
Are these legislators really this stupid ? We already know Newsom is.
We’re in a drought and even in non drought years don’t have enough water storage.
Of course it’s a major problem. And all part of plan.
The leftist want you people in CA to be miserable with their foot on your throat. You think they’d welcome in millions of illegals and declare the state to be a sanctuary for millions of criminals if they wanted to do something to improve or benefit California???
C’mon!
Single family zoning is more socialistic than allowing developers to build what the market demands. Human nature (and the free market) dictates that you build up when you can’t build out anymore.
I am sure you support FHA loans as well commie. ;)
I can’t wait for that reality show. Trailer Park Boys meets Deliverance.
Okay, you said it twice, but SUBURBS are already in existence. What this communist Newsom, and others like him (Obama,etc.), seek to do is DESTROY the suburbs. If you have a beautiful suburban neighborhood, this will—by design—destroy it with a flood of poor people and crime, and that is NOT the free market operating, as you know, if you have any intellectual honesty.
As for your contention that they have nowhere to build—that’s a damnable lie, and again, you know it, if you have any intellectual honesty.
Here is a map from 2019 showing who is protected.

Buildings up to 85 ft. will be allowed on streets near bus stops
Buildings up to 75 ft. will be allowed on streets near rail stops
Buildings as high as 75 ft. would be erected (in “job rich” zones)
Statewide ban on single-family-zoning, impacting 8M homes
Fire Hazard Severity Zones are exempt from bigger buildings
Only the Coastal Zones within small cities will be protected
We live in a very small NorCal suburb. It took four(FOUR) long years to have an illegal dwelling ( turned in to a meth cook house) to get the county to arrest a few and destroy the building. In that time good people moves, we had our homes and cars thieved, stolen, name it. Fights, drugs, even one ___hole blew up an RV which had about 1000 rounds of ammo in it and blew the transformer.
Toward the end it was like a war zone. of course it’ll all come back now in spades, lower the property values and move in serious bad guys.
Newsom wants his communism. I don’t know how much more to fight or just move to the Ozarks or someplace and live out my days
Now they want to quadruple the populations inside of suburban neighborhoods in CA! If I were considering moving out, that alone would be a big 3-alarm wake up call for me.
Bingo!
“Yes. “Brutalist”, is the architectural term for Soviet linear concrete.”
Yes, acknowledge the supremacy of the state and demand submission. Very appropriate for the current administration.
