And those millions of homes in the S. CA suburbs? Most are all 50++ years old. The shelf life on all that plumbing is shot, rotted out.
Landlords will be looking at these old homes thinking they can build a new 4 unit apartment building in the footprint of that old home and think, hey, I can make some big bucks here!! 4 units at 1700 each per month! Eff the neighborhood!
Not to worry, there will be plenty of solar and wind power to cover it. / s
Start in BelAir, Beverly Hills, and above all, Malibu.
“Beverly Hills...That’s where I want to be!”
In my part of the world, water is exactly how they control/justify zoning that precludes multiple homes on
a single lot, even if that lot is 40 acres in size.
Depends on how much you like having a yard.
Mark my words, this is going to get implemented immediately and you’ll have tens of thousands applying for permits to turn single family homes into duplexes and 4 unit apartment buildings.
The leftist declared war on suburbia a long time ago. Now their plans are coming together.
Wealthy Chinese people bought a single family house down the street from my friend’s house in an upscale single family home neighborhood in SoCal. They wanted to tear down the house and build a bigger house that would cover the front lawn area. They wanted to build out to the sidewalk for a multi generational home. They were stopped at that time. Now they can do it.
The proles have no right to own the State's property. And that includes ALL real estate.
One thing that Eastern Bloc people note is that when they visited others, their apartments were ALWAYS identical. No questions about where the bathroom was, or the faucets, or lawns, (No one had lawns. Bourgeoisie excess.) You have more kids? Build bunk beds. No one is entitled to privacy.
It's not "good."
“Maybe I’m naïve, but isn’t this...good? I question why Newsom would advance this seemingly reasonable policy change.”
I see you’ve been pounded quite a bit, so I’ll just add a real life event. My parents had lived in a single family area in Tampa since 1954. Growing up there I saw the cops maybe a handful of times as we had a neighbor who was an alcoholic and liked to beat his wife with her pants down in the front yard. After they moved out, the place was quiet, a thirty minute ride into downtown even on back streets and relatively close to good shopping. Then, as people died off the city took over their houses and turned them into Section 8. Governments do not take over housing for ordinary people, only for ghetto types. Next thing you know, my parents on their well tree’d lot were encountering ghetto kids armed with guns in their back yard. The kids would look in at my parent’s paneled walls covered with guns and swords while eating my parent’s oranges. One kid my dad described as not yet a teen threatened him with a gun. When dad told me his plan was to never go outside with the key on him. He’d hide it and if the kids took him he’d ring the bell and instruct my mother to, “Let these men in to use the phone.” She was supposed to lock the main door (behind their armored storm door) and call the cops. They were both in their eighties. I told my sister and we moved them and my sister into a much more expensive house. (Expensive houses don’t get taken over for Section 8 because there is too much money involved.)
My parents old neighborhood is still pretty, but there are drug deals out in the open, wrecked cars and the cops are there sometimes several times in one day. Section 8 people do not work regular jobs. (They “do” jobs*. But they don’t “work” at jobs.)
* According to the police reports their jobs range from drug dealing, to theft, to selling stolen goods and even the occasional contract murder. All while living on the public dole.
This is what Newsome has done to the California middle class. All of them.
Proles don't need cars. They have public transport.
Where’d you go? You posted this thread. Didn’t stick around?
So glad I left that commie hellhole. Left in 1982. Never been sorry for one nanosecond.
It will bring lots of congestion and traffic problems.
This is a ploy to completely eliminate suburbs and push people into high rise condos.
The Commies in Russia did this to disconnect the people from the land.
Same commies are here.
What will happen is any time a single family homes goes on the market, developers will swoop in with mega-bucks and buy up the property, able to out-bid anyone else - making starter homes completely out of reach.
They’ll then put up FOUR home on the property - as allowed by this bill - and then sell each one at market rate.
Your comment reminds me of a song about New York City, but the same principles apply.
