  SB 827 upzones for apartments half a mile around every major transit stop https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180SB827 https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtm... SB 828 would double the amount of zoning capacity that each city is required to provide in the Housing Element report (currently each city must provide zoning capacity for only 100% of estimated RHNA population growth; this would increase it to 200%) and carry over approval deficits (currently if a city does not approve any housing, the deficit is forgiven every 8 years and the city can reuse the unbuilt parcels in the next Housing Element report). https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180SB828 https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtm... SB 829 would allow farmers to build farmworker housing https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180SB829 https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtm...
