It will kill the middle class and upper middle class. They won’t build these four- plexes in the extremely wealthy neighborhoods because the lots will be too much.
Liberals love to harm middle class to bring up worthless sacks of it that do nothing to help themselves.
One more thing I lived in Fremont and one of the houses on our block at afghan refugees living there. I believe there were two families and 27 total people living there. This house was a small three bedroom no more than 1600 ft.². Basically everyone slept on the floor. Some nights People slept outside in the front yard and in the backyard. It was close living it was kind of like living in the desert in a tent except this was California.
My wife's brother lives in SF, what used to be a nice quiet neighborhood 30 years ago. Now homes are jammed with lots of people, with many cars and no where to park. Many of them park on the sidewalks. Fights break out over parking. Lots of congestion. B-i-l only has 1 car, and sometimes has to struggle getting it out of the garage because of cars encroaching on his driveway. Cops don't do any enforcement, and it's a huge problem all over the city. City "leaders" want to pack more people into the city, which is crazy.
It WAS a smashing sucess for a few yrs!!...lol
(to those that got rich on the ground floor...I met a couple of them that retired to Fla...)
I would live in Alabama before I would California.
My daughter just moved to the East Coast form the “Bay area,” Alameda, and we are so happy! California is doomed and showing signs that it won’t be too long before it will be intolerable to live there. Beautiful and perfect weather? Not worth the crap and the costs t live in a, soon to be, shithole.
Just like in Dr Zhivago after the Bolsheviks took over.

On top of any neighborhood that doesn't cheerfully agree with the decrees of the politburo.
Nancy’s place will house dozens of families ,LOL
Minneapolis MN has also done this.
Warsaw getto’s
Well, to be fair allowing more housing types in areas is just simply the free market asserting itself. Land costs are so high in markets like Charlotte (and astronomical in markets like SF) that even the multi-family units will go to high income in nice areas of town and likely very upscale.
Seattle tried this a few years ago. Just sad. But expected.
Please keep the liberals out of conservative states. Thank you
I would never move to Alabama, that place has problems. As you said, California has a lot going for it, mainly the great weather. I can afford it, and my neighborhood is a couple miles from the coast, safe and good (not rezoned, yet, is still single-family residential). Wife and I are contemplating living in Iowa part of the year, where one of our daughters lives with her family. Very friendly place, slow-paced and crowd-free, but weather is good only part of the year unlike year-round in California. California is great near the coast and outside of the big cities, whereas there's not much going on in midwest states. But the slower pace in the midwest would preserve one's sanity.
My brother is in the final stages of selling his house and he is antsy that something will happen. He is very anxious to get out of California.
He told me he is tired of their brilliant ideas, and no way to stop them. He said he wished he had all the tax money back he has paid them over the years because they just wasted every cent.
It is also about the tent dwellers living down by LAX. Also huge explosion of homeless in wealthy places like Silicon Vsllay. I like the freedom to subdivide. We inquired a few years ago about scraping a two-on-a-lot and building a fourplex, like other properties on the same block. We were told that this was NEVER approved in our city. We sold and bought a six unit in a different city. That lot had been changed from single family to multi in the 70s. Our property provides a home for several working lower middle class families. I’m happy we can do that. More people should have the option.
Where’s that pic of the giant ‘apartment’ buildings in Hong Kong (I think) that were just added on and added on, ... ?
UN Agenda 21 or 2030 or whatever they are up to now.
