Gov. Gavin Newsom signed three housing-related bills into law Thursday that are likely to make multi-family housing projects easier to build and could open up many single-family zones to development.
Senate Bill 8 extends until 2030 the Housing Crisis Act of 2019, which “accelerates the approval process for housing projects, curtails local governments’ ability to downzone and limits fee increases on housing applications,”
Senate Bill 9 “facilitates the process for homeowners to build a duplex or split their current residential lot,”
In practice, the bill will “require cities to approve up to four housing units on what was a single-family lot,” according to the Associated Press.
Senate Bill 10 makes it easier for local governments to rezone areas near transit centers for multifamily housing of up to 10 units per parcel.

“On June 10, 2021, HUD published an interim final rule to revoke the 2020 Preserving Community and Neighborhood Choice (PCNC) rule and reinstate the Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing (AFFH) definitions and certification requirements from the 2015 AFFH rule.”

Obama’s federal takeover of local zoning authority. Pure evil.
Gotta make room for all the new Taliban TERRORISTS, Haitian RAPISTS and MS-13 DRUG LORDS, I suppose.
Develop all of this housing...so people can skip rent payments? Enticing.
Isn’t that the Castro district in San Francisco?

“This will increase the number of units. So this will reduce the pressure on housing prices in California.”
Private sector mortgages might soon require a fairly high down payment.
Before zoning became popular, a down payment might have been 50%.
Private purchase mortgage insurance might become unavailable in California.
One has to scan down to see the lots on offer.
Ya knew this was coming. Move ‘em on, head ‘em up

Imagine 8,000 new 10-story high pink apartment buildings slapped up and they’ll have those human hamster tubes like McDonald’s has out front.
Are we going Brazilian favelas, or Marcy Projects?...
Many subdivisions have deed restrictions.
The Constitution prohibits the impairment of contracts by state governments.
It’s really hard for me to wrap my mind around what this means.
I just can’t imagine that a developer is going to be able to go into, say, Atherton, California, buy a 1 acre lot that was previously zoned single-family and build 25 condominiums on the site. The uber-rich people in the neighborhood would somehow stop it. They drown the project with litigation, they’d pay off the appropriate politicians or bureaucrats to stymie it, whatever. One way or another, they’d kill it.
As in most things, I tend to suspect those most impacted in the real world will be the lower-middle to middle class neighborhoods where a Section 8 four-plex might replace a large single family home.
Yes, this is a better arrangement, comrades. More just.

Two thirds of CA Voters are obviously fine and dandy with this and everything else the DEMONCRATS there want to do.
Apartment buildings always gave me the heebeegeebees. One man’s floor is another man’s ceiling, where the walls have ears. Pigeonholed. Here’s your box, get in there and keep quiet. I think of apartment buildings as civilian barracks. This is what they’ll do in CA x1000. Stack um up, pack um in!
I’m so grateful my apartment is over a garage and only one other tenant...now vacant. Landlord is particular who he gets in here and never advertises,

CA is pretty rich, per capita. They’ll enjoy their new housing. Trust me, liberals are all in on this. And that’s over 55% of the USA now.
A large swath of coastal Kali-fornia (except for the gated enclaves) is like a rabbit warren now.
This will not end well!
