” every eight years to plan for housing, including that which is deemed “affordable” sold at or below market rate,”
Be interesting to see how places like Beverly Hills are conforming.
“I don’t know where they’re going to come from. They’re not local,”
...Messico bonehead
Bringing da ‘hood to da ‘burbs..........been a wet dream of barrack hussein obama’s since 2008 and probably before that......can you say “3rd term”?
Friends, you need to realize that the people who propose, pass and enforce the laws HATE you. They hate your ancestors and most of all they hate your children. Their #1 goal is to make your children weak, unstable and incapable of reproduction. Once you realize this, everything you see happening to our country makes perfect sense.
That is what motivates them to do everything that they do.
In this instance, they don’t want your children growing up in “high trust”, monocultural neighborhoods with a feeling of safety and security.
I can’t imagine that there are all these low-income farmworker people. ... I don’t know where they’re going to come from. They’re not local,” she said.
Biden and Mayorkas will supply the people.
“It became necessary to destroy the town to save it.” — perfectly describes the Sacramento busybodies who know best how every single town in California should be structured and how people should live.
I’ve seen this up close and personal. Our little town on the San Francisco Peninsula has had to prepare a state-approved “Housing Element” to its plan for decades. Every year the state imposes a greater and greater “fair share” of low-income housing to our town (and to every other town on the peninsula). The debate about the “Housing Element” rages every year with acrimony on all sides. People who live here want to preserve their beautiful neighborhoods and spaciousness and maintain the vibrancy of the small downtown. Meanwhile, the liberal bleeding-heart do-gooders want to destroy it.
These little towns were middle-income, middle-class places when they were built mostly in the 1950s after WW II — nice suburban quarter-acre lots covered with post-war ranch houses.
But the commies in Sacramento are determined to ruin these towns. A couple years ago, Scott Wiener in the CA Assembly got a law passed that allows a single-family home to be torn down and TWO homes built on the lot. PLUS, you can put an in-law (”ADU”) behind each new house, so you can have FOUR homes on the quarter-acre lot.
The commies absolutely HATE anybody or any town having the right to self-determination. They want to uniformly ruin life for everybody. I don’t know why they just don’t come out and impose 1950s Soviet-style massive gray block housing projects on every town in CA.
Sebastopol used to be small apple farming community, but things have changed quite a bit since the 1980’s. It’s now a snobby, high-income leftist enclave. The City Council, years ago, insisted that the Fire Chief drive a Prius. He objected, stating such a vehicle was unsuitable (that this even had to be pointed out speaks volumes...). He even had a local Toyota dealer state their agreement with him on this point. Nope: A Prius It Shall Be!!! He quit, if I recall correctly. Idiots.
The very idea of creating affordable housing in California is laughable and any public employee that pushes it should be locked up and thrown in jail because it is an Impossibility.
I built my own house recently. It cost $100K and 1 1/2 years just to get a grading permit, another $200K and over 2 years to get my building permit after the grading was done, which took less than a month.
Don’t feel sorry for states that keep voting Democrats into power and then continue to suffer under their corrupt policies.
“Be interesting to see how places like Beverly Hills are conforming.”
Lots of towns on the San Francisco Peninsula are like Beverly Hills. One of the hottest topics of discussion in City Council meetings the past 30 or 40 years is how to meet the state’s mandated “fair share” of affordable housing. In our little town, I don’t think there’s been a City Council meeting in recent memory where this hasn’t come up.
The cities are trying to balance the needs of residents (who want to preserve their small-town feel) with the communist busy-bodies in Sacramento who are out to destroy it. As you would imagine, there are plenty of local busy-bodies who want to destroy the town as well. They follow the Sacramento lead lock-step.
The developers all smell big money to be made. Our little town had a strict two-story height limit for the downtown area that was put into the town founding charter back in the 50s. With the changes imposed by Sacramento to build “affordable” housing, a particularly noxious developer proposed to build a FOUR story building right on Main Street. The city fought it and lost in the courts. The developer, out of spite for facing opposition, came back with a FIVE story project plan.
So, to answer your question, the richest towns all over CA are spending huge amounts of time, people resources and money (lawyers) trying to figure out how to meet the state demands and not destroy the characteristics of the towns that make them desirable. It is increasingly hard to do and nobody is happy.
When Joe moves 10,000 illegal aliens into a small town of 2,000 American citizens, that small town feeling does tend to disappear...
If small towns and its residents can’t figure out how to harass and stop unwanted development, these towns aren’t worth saving.
Note to Californians: If enough of you lot wanted this Deep State wouldn’t have to steal your elections.
You DIDN’T vote for this.
If you want to save your state, secure your damn elections.
“She said the development would have approximately 1.7 parking spaces per unit, but with some designated for the disabled or for car charging, the number becomes even smaller.”
Around here it’s 5 or 6 cars per single family home in some *ahem* neighborhoods.
State-mandated housing
Some of the democrat democracy in action again.
