> It's state government trying to override local economic (zoning) decisions. It's the very definition of a centrally planned economy. You are mischaracterizing the law and what zoning is. Zoning does not produce any housing and is instead an artificial constraint on housing supply. The planning after this law is still done at the city level, but the city is constrained in what planning it can do. > There's one Caltrain stop. It's a 30-minute walk from the residential part of Brisbane, across the freeway and around the dump. MUNI bus service to the area is irregular and unreliable. The only practical commute option is car. The developer is proposing to build upon the landfill just next to the caltrain stop, so for the new development this won't be a concern.
