The state of California needs some sort of Beds for Butts in Office Chairs legislation. Want to build office space and expand your tax base? Pony up the space to house those employees.
- jpao79 9y agoAgreed! Even then though you still need to get it past the existing NIMBY population. I think buying them out via cash payments is really the only way to get existing NIMBYs on board with high density residential units which were not zoned when the bought into the community. Basically the issue is that the developers are changing the rules of the game AFTER the existing NIMBYs bought into the community.
- wbl 9y agoNope. Zoning codes that existed when NIMBYS bought are no protection against opposition to housing.
