The budget blueprint Newsom detailed this week includes $2 billion over two years in grants and tax credits to incentivize housing development... “Moving away from investments in housing that don’t focus on climate, health, integrating downtown, schools, jobs, parks and restaurants.”
Jason Elliott, Newsom’s top housing advisor, said the governor’s budget interlaces housing, cost-of-living and climate policies to simultaneously address California’s top issues.
“The whole government...It’s better for equity, it’s better for inclusion..."
The $2 billion includes $500 million in grants for nonprofit and for-profit developers or local governments to construct more units on existing, but underused, urban land close to city amenities and transportation, and $300 million for sustainable projects in areas friendly to walking, biking and near public transit. Newsom also wants to direct hundreds of millions of dollars toward using excess state-owned land for affordable development and easing the cost burden of converting existing structures into residential spaces in downtown areas.
The plan would also provide $500 million in low-income housing tax credits for developers and $500 million to preserve and increase the state’s affordable and mixed-income housing stock and rehabilitate mobile home parks.
“What we are building should be carbon-free, and how we are building should be with community-greening infrastructure,”

A nice hard iron one.
More housing downtown means the new homeless won’t have far to travel from former home to sidewalk after they’re evicted by the gov for being unvaxxed.
its really to bad you can’t see the capital building from the I5 or 99 because i would be chucking rocks at it... newscum is a boil on the ass of california.
Dims NEED densely populated places. Such places NEED government action more than other places in order to be livable. Places where people can spread out don’t need so much government.
That will require mandating a Whole Foods Market in every neighborhood.
“whole government” — aargh
“equity” — Aaarrgh!
“inclusion” — AAARRRRGGGHHH!!!!!
It’s a trifecta of liberal bullsh!t meaningless blather! But how could they possibly miss “diversity”? Would that make it a Quadrafecta?
Following the unveiling of his California Blueprint, Governor Gavin Newsom today visited a homeless encampment in San Diego to highlight his proposed additional $2 billion package – for a total of $14 billion – to the state’s multi-year plan to confront the homelessness crisis, which will create 55,000 new housing units and treatment slots when fully implemented.ANOTHER $2 billion on top of his already-proposed $12 billion! Anybody care to guess what happens to "homelessness" when you pay more for it?
They already have lots of housing in downtown areas. For those who don’t have junky RV’s to live in, there are always cars. Then you have the tent people and of course there are some pretty nice doorways. It is like a complete other layer of people superimposed on top of the people who pay to live in their houses and apartments. Urine smell everywhere, people yelling because they live in their cars and not houses, trash everywhere. I don’t give money to homeless people because they don’t clean up after themselves.
He wants to rebuild Cabrini Green!...................
Great! We can send all of the illegal immigrants to California...let them give free housing, medical care, food....with no requirement to work. And, while we are at it, we should give California it’s independance from the U.S.
Put them in empty hi-rises. Get rid of the elevators. Make them climb the stairs.
Newsome managed to fit Das Kapital and the Communist Manifesto in to a press release a paragraph long.
There are over a Dozen apartment complexes that were built in the last 10 years all over Downtown, they are at least 60% VACANT Still, I propose we pass a Law requiring ALL Appointed and Elected Officials to live in an Urban Are within 5 Miles of thier respective work place and all other Public Employee’s live within 10 miles of thier respective work place.
Then in a couple years they can tell us how great it was.
Flush with cash, they’re going to piss it away.
I’ll take a guess: Newsom’s financial assets swell.
