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.

I know a family in California, who has a combined income of $190,000/year, but cannot afford to buy a house. They’re thinking of moving out of California, to Texas or Oklahoma.
Btw, they’re going to put these suburbia killing measures into effect pronto!
So just how are the increased impacts on tax payer funded services such as roads, schools, libraries, water, sewer, police, fire, rescue, trash pick up, drainage, and social services going to be met? Raising residential taxes is not going to cover those costs. At some point even the commercial tax cow will run dry. Watch the solution be to levy very, very high fees on new construction as part of covering such costs. Which leads to housing being less affordable. Kind of a double secret impact fee.
Tell them to stay, maybe they can buy one of those track homes that has been walled in half and made into a duplex. They’d probably only want 350k for half.
Pack ‘em in! Makes people easier to control.
Dims voted for this crap.
Anyone of sound mind needs to get their behinds out of Cali. as soon as you can afford to.
you should see glendale,sunland and Tujunga the armenians have all build mini estates
They own it...Don’t forget Glendale.
Whoop, you didn’t...lol
Instant ghettos for all. Will be used to punish red areas.
Here in CT most of the small towns are “Section 8 and apartment proof” because there is no city water and sewer, only individual lot wells and septic.
The Feds can rant and rave all they want, but without spending trillions in infrastructure for rural areas it is all just dumb talk.
CT is flat broke, so no danger from the state for sure.
I will be LOL at all of them. You vote for it, you got it, California.
I’m so grateful they can’t build anymore in my development. Ran out of space. Oops. Thank goodness. I’m in a middle class gated neighborhood.
Own lock stock and barrel. And shifty shit too
Not really-—That is a MYTH.
IF developers are going to try to pry MY property from me so they can build 10 units on it, I am going to hold on for a VERY LARGE PRICE.
The pressure on local schools & transit will me a nightmare.
DO NOT forget the Calif restrictions on Natural Gas...
AND WATER restrictions are starting, also.
After the collapse I believe it can become great again, because America. Most of the people and States are sane. The corruption of our government has been exposed. The good states and people are standing up and this can and will be fixed in 2020 and 2024. If that doesn't happen the people of this country will become slaves of an authoritarian government, because that is what they would have chose.
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
I live in a Fire Hazard zone.
As others have mentioned, Armenians bought the house next door zoned for horse property.
They had intentions on mansionizing it but didn’t read the small print.
My neighborhood in the NE SFV doesn’t allow manisionizing but I’m wondering if these laws will override it.
Others on here are mistaken. These laws allow developers to buy the house next door,
Tear it down and build apartment buildings up to your property line.
This is the Agenda 21, Green New Deal.
This is social engineering that replaces the forced bussing of our children in the 1980s.
Everybody just moved to better school districts.
Now there will be low income housing in every neighborhood.
Many homes will not have yards for the kids to play in.
The feral children of single parent families will destroy your neighborhoods and schools.
Getting far too expensive to own a home around here!
In 1996 the price was $181,412
In 2021 the price is $801,344 !!!

If congressional rats get their way, it will go nationwide.
There is no better way to destroy the middleclass.
