that looks like some suspicious politicking given that > "SB 1120 passed the state Senate in June, 39 to 0" one interesting wrinkle in the article is that low-income neighborhoods supposedly opposed the bill in fear of gentrification and being pushed out, presumably because most of these residents don't own their homes. that seems relatively straightforward to address with some additional provisions, unlike the better-off homeowners who want to control other people and property unreasonably. up to 4+1 (fourplex plus accessory unit) should be by right on all residential parcels. homeowners can still decide to build a single-family if they want it, but not be forced into it. note that roughly 2/3 of california residential is zoned single-family only.
