A home two doors down recently sold on my block (So Cal) - my next door neighbor was almost hysterical - he was sure at least four units were going to be built next to his home, which is legal - since the state usurped local zoning laws - all of them. Our city council has tried to fight these massive developments and has lost every single court case.
A historic area was torn down due to new state regulations - the city could’t get the historic designation and lost in court, neighbors were furious. 93 condos are going up in its place.
We ended up getting nice new neighbors from Texas - very odd for them to move here, it’s almost always the other way around - they are putting in an ADU for their elderly parents.
