Newsom signs housing bills that could reduce single-family zoning in California
KTLA ^ | 09/16/2021 | Cameron Kiszla

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.

We just left CA two years ago. If I waited until now I would have made another $200,000 profit on our House. Timing is everything. Oh well.

They must put them in venues like Atherton, California. This will give them a great opportunity to show the world how much they care! Maybe bring in a few thousand Afghani’s and their extended families like they do in other venues.

IIRC, the rule mandates Section 8 housing in virtually every community in the U.S.; it basically seeks to bust every block in the U.S.. Say goodbye to your high equity.

Exactly. And it’s enforced by withholding federal highway, public safety, and other funds. Local elected officials will have jackboots on their throat.

There won’t be any 10 family apartment blocks in the wealthy liberal neighborhoods.

“If I waited until now I would have made another $200,000 profit on our House.”

And paid almost as much more on your new house.

My friend Sharon has a son building a house in an Austin, Texas suburb. She said at first $800,000. I think she said it now is at $1.2 million, but that he could easily sell for far more.

Prices in Austin, Nashville and Greenville, SC are crazy.

I fully expect within a year, maybe two, they will be passing laws to require homeowners to take in a 'refugee' or 'migrant' family (or more, depending on the number of rooms in the house) into their homes. (Except for the elites, who will be exempt.)

Personally, I would love to see the limousine liberals of enclaves like Atherton get their comeuppance, but I just can’t imagine it really happening. Somehow the neighbors will block it.

It’ll only happen where the neighbors aren’t powerful.

Near Hancock Park in Los Angeles are many rather cleverly designed quads that look almost like large single family houses.

“The Constitution prohibits the impairment of contracts by state governments.”

Since when has the Constitution been a problem? Certainly not since 1970.

“seeks to bust every block in the U.S.”

I used to live in Virginia west of DC.

The soil there was clay.

To put in a septic tank you had to get a perc (percolation) test to see if the septic tank liquid would percolate down into the clay well enough.

If Kamala Harris tried to put a 10-unit apartment building on such a lot the tenants would get a very bad odor.

Much of the South has clay soil.

We’re in MS now. I can still buy a House for a song if we chose to stay here, but retiring in MS wasn’t part of the original plan.

Right now we rent s house from my S-I-L We came here to take care of my Wife’s Mother who passed away a year after we arrived.

Not sure where we will end up. But we will be downsizing so I’m not worried about housing costs right now. Of course with the DEMONCRATS running the show only God knows where our Nation will end up.

Destroying the nuclear family as a political unit then destroying the homes they live in.
