California is a big state. Surely this only bans single family zoning in egregious areas like San Francisco and not other parts of California that don't have a housing crisis?
- 0xB31B1B 5y agoThe whole state has a housing crises. Even the little towns in the sierras or way up north.
- seanmcdirmid 5y agoThat isn't a uniform "housing crises" throughout the state. Susanville and Eureka are really different from San Francisco or South Lake Tahoe. The bill also doesn't eliminate single family zoning everywhere, things like no sewers (so have to use septic) still apply to necessarily reduced density.
- jeffbee 5y agoEureka is burdened by high housing prices relative to the local economy, same as San Francisco. Yes houses cost less, but prevailing wages are also less. Eureka has basically no economy to speak of and the houses there still cost $400k.
