The headline makes it sound broader than it is. Rather than "CA Cities", it's actually "will eliminate the zoning ordinances of the vast majority of cities throughout the Bay Area". Still pretty broad, of course.
- jeffbee 4y agoYes, a common misconception. The RHNA process is conducted on a rolling calendar. SANDAG had to close their housing elements in April 2021. SCAG cities had a deadline in October 2021. ABAG cities are due today. AMBAG is not due until December 2023. Edit: RHNA: regional housing needs allocation SANDAG: San Diego Association of Governments SCAG: Southern California Association of Governments ABAG: Association of Bay Area Governments AMBAG: Association of Monterey Bay Area Governments
- sparky_ 4y agoCan you expand these acronyms for those of us not familiar with the ins and outs of California real estate?
- dang 4y agoCan anyone suggest an accurate, neutral title, preferably using representative language from the article, which fits within HN's 80 char limit? If so, I'll be happy to change it above. (We usually do this ourselves, but I find the details here a bit disorienting and don't have time to concentrate on it)
- rsaz 4y agoI think just changing "California" to "Bay Area" would be reasonable for now. If the article is correct, zoning is being completely eradicated, but I'm not sure why the poster decided to say it was for all of California.
- CydeWeys 4y agoBecause it's a statewide law. It is all of California, soon enough.
- dang 4y agoI've consed "Some" onto the headline in the hope that this makes it more accurate. This is a confusing situation! confusing to me at least.
- steveklabnik 4y agoYou could go with something that's more technically correct, if not immediately more clear. This would at least give people the opportunity to google the terms and learn about them themselves. "Builder's Remedy goes into effect in many California cities tomorrow"
- dang 4y agoOk, let's try it. Thanks!
- steveklabnik 4y agoGlad to be able to help in my own tiny way.
- raldi 4y agoAs someone following this closely, I wanted to let you know that this is an excellent new headline.
