Yup. But you can bet that quadplexes won’t be going up in Los Altos Hills or Beverly Hills or Malibu.

But West San Jose, Thousand Oaks, Simi, Anaheim Hills...the hammer will now come down relentlessly to build more Barrios Por La Raza. All with income limits and subsidies, of course. Gotta make sure the Casper children go face to face with the gangsters at school.
You voted for it, California. Can’t you just imagine your future slums on the hills of San Francisco like Rio de Janeiro currently has. Enjoy!
