The state government is pretty explicitly anti-NIMBY / pro-density (relatively speaking) right now, so bad-faith attempts to restrict growth like that might not go over well.
- renewiltord 5y agoI doubt the state government has any real power. My city just banned housing development on a valet parking lot saying it would cause gentrification.
- shuckles 5y agoIf you’re referring to San Francisco, the city is on track to be sued under state law for that denial. It is also being investigated by the state for it.
- renewiltord 5y agoI’m sure they’ll back off around the time the developer has spent too much money to make the project viable. In fact, I’ll do you one better. I’ll bet $1k that two years from now, no residential building will exist on that lot.
