In one of his first actions after surviving an election seeking to oust him from office, Gov. Gavin Newsom on Thursday essentially abolished single-family zoning in California — and green-lighted a series of bills intended to bolster the state’s housing production.

By signing Senate Bill 9 into law, Newsom opened the door for the development of up to four residential units on single-family lots across California.

Thumbs up California. Every time I think about how bad NY is, I just read a story about California.

Yet the fancy neighborhoods that limousine liberals live in will be wholly unaffected by this decision. It’s going to be the lower and middle rungs of neighborhoods that get impacted by apartments being thrust into their midst.

This is where he makes all of California one big city. It’s retaliation against the people in the suburbs that tried to oust him.

Caliphooknia just killed the dream of owning YOUR OWN HOME, without anybody in the next wall!!

No more single houses with the fence, garage, and backyard of your own, to do as you can, before the expletive HOA karens put their nose in it!!!

Y’all gonna be stacked like rats now

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

That will be fought tooth and nail by megabucks and threats of no more donations.

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!
