The article doesn’t mention it, but it’s my understanding that this auto-approval only happens within a certain distance of public transit as well. I know that’s been a part of prior laws by Wiener, but I could totes be wrong that it’s a part of this one as well.
The developers still have to abide by construction laws - safety, and I think environmental impact. All that’s released (AFAIK?) is the zoning-based “no” from cities (and when within a certain distance from public transit hubs, maybe).

- RangerScience 4y agoRight - that's the prior bill that didn't pas SB50?
- epistasis 4y agoI think you are referring to AB 2097, which allows more housing near transit hubs. It was passed in the latest legislative session, but is distinct from the Builder's Remedy and has height restrictions unlike the topic of this article. The same author wrote about it here: https://darrellowens.substack.com/p/yimby-triumph-in-california https://darrellowens.substack.com/p/yimby-triumph-in-califor...
- RangerScience 4y agoThank you! This was a super cool article. There's some neat and very spicy things happening in the CA legislature :D
