Gov. Newsom abolishes most single-family zoning in California
East Bay Times ^ | Sept. 16, 2021 | Marisa Kendall

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. The move follows a growing push by local governments to allow multi-family dwellings in more residential neighborhoods. Berkeley voted to eliminate single-family zoning by Dec. 2022, and San Jose is set to consider the issue next month.

While opponents fear such a sweeping change will destroy the character of residential neighborhoods, supporters hail it as a necessary way to combat the state’s persistent housing crisis and correct city zoning laws that have contributed to racial segregation...

This is what I saw when, many years ago I was travelling with a group in still Communist countries (Czechoslovakia, Hungary) looking outside the windows of the trains we were traveling on. Row after row, mile after mile of Russian style block concrete apartment buildings, uglier than sin, and utterly dehumanizing to have to live in, I suspect.

In Hungary, while staying in the old (and beautiful) sector of Budapest, right off in the distance you could see these ugly and horrible apartment complexes built in the extended surrounds of the old part of the city, built by their at that time Communist masters.

Coming soon to a suburb by you if you live in a blue state, and eventually by mandate of our new Biden regime Communist dictatorship, to the red state you are currently living in. And this is pure Communism folks, very pure social engineering at its very worst.

I might add that in the old Commie countries of Europe, those apartment buildings housed primarily poor Caucasian and and other predominantly white minority groups in fairly homogeneous countries. Biden’s regime will stock his apartment complexes with all of the new illegal ethnic groups entering our Country through our unprotected southern border. So your new neighbors will be half of South America (only a slight exaggeration), Haitians by the thousands, Muslim imports from Afghanistan and other Muslim countries, the homeless in the U.S., and as much riffraff as they can conjure up.

Welcome to your new dictatorship. Thanks for voting for Biden all you suburban soccer moms because Trump had such mean tweets. This is the payback for your emotion laden votes. I’d give up my own vote if it meant getting rid of you female idiots that unfortunately get a vote too.

I remember when Turkey was a pluralistic country until a Muslim ideologue was voted into office. From that point on, all freedom of religion pretty much disappeared and a Muslim dictatorship installed; it happened in a nanosecond.

Now we too have suffered this same fate. In the space of one election (not even Reagan’s warning of it taking a generation; no it took just one stolen election) we are rapidly becoming a socialist’s version of paradise. Learn to enjoy it, because we’ve got it.

California has a lot of empty land. Even around Silicon Valley. They just do not want to develop it.

“They voted for it? Seriously? That election was stolen just like every other in Dem controlled counties all over the country.”

Yes, they voted for this by not voting out democrats in 1996, 1998, 2000, 2002, 2004, 2006, 2008, 2010.......

The democrats have been wanting to do this for DECADES. A blind man should have been able to see it coming. But, no, they didn’t want people to think they were mean. The time to stop this was 10 or 12 years ago.

“Look for the communist junta in DC to try the same thing with HUD alleging single-family zoning is “rayciss.””

They’ve been wanting to do this in the Chicagoland area of IL for years now. Establish multi-tenant housing right smack dab in the middle of the surrounding very middle class and well kept up suburbs. Now the Dem Governor Pritzker (I call him Pricker) will begin to do this immediately as his Dem state ruling majority now have the green light from the Biden regime.

Thank goodness I escaped from IL some years back to DeSantisland in FL.

Of course, they could have just eased or eliminated the open space laws instead, allowing for more construction of inexpensive single-family housing.

But that’s not how Governor Hairdo rolls.

I’m glad you got out, I’m in a nearby county in Illinois, and I call him Governor Fatass. No respect for him whatsoever. Maybe we can escape to Wisconsin….

My possibilities are Florida, Idaho, North Texas, NW Arkansas, Indiana, possibly Missouri, and possibly Arizona (but only because my sister moved there already).

Georgia is out for me because of the election stunt in 2020 and because Stacy Abrams is running the joint.

North Carolina is out because of a Rat Governor. I won't live in a state with one again.

Texas is becoming iffy because of what is going on there with the border but I'm watching closely to see how the situation is handled.

I would like to be able to make my move before the grandkids' new school year starts but it might take a few more months. In the meantime all the house projects will be finished and another election will be under our belts. Then we can see if any other states go Commie.

Good luck and let me know where you land.

Idaho is also on my list, but moving to Coeur d’Alene is kind of a cliche by this point. I also really need to move to a real cheap place because my retirement funds were kinda wiped out.

More multi-family housing?

Well, they have to find someplace to put all those millions of new "voters" streaming in over the southern border and through the air terminals, don't they?

I'm not sure how Voodoo, Santa Muerte, and Sharia Law are going to mix but it will be fun watching it play out now that American culture and law is out the window and we don't have to worry about that.

Parts of N.C.& GA are as liberal as CA. and FLA is expensive. Other than that it’s a pretty good list. I’ve lived in most of them.

Development of up to four residential units on single-family lots.

Deportation would cure the housing problem but that would cause a loss of millions of votes.
