I'll be the very first person to tell you that I am quite ignorant to many things in life. However... > California law actually requires municipalities to plan for and support their share of new housing[1]. ...I've watched this exact situation unfold in numerous cities in California, over the last 14 or so years since I landed here, and I think that it's a stunningly stupid decision that only benefits developers, municipalities, bureaucrats, etc...
