There was a previous “too good to be true” post from this same sub stack author a few months ago. IIRC he claimed that zoning was nearly going to end due to the builder’s remedy provision in some recent CA bills. When I searched for other commentary from informed CA lawyers it seemed like the claims in the article were exaggerated. I hope that these are not exaggerated bc the changes outlined would be a good step, but do keep the caveat in mind.

From my research, the claims themselves are true or at least close to true, but the implications behind those claims were not. Builders remedy did end the zoning regime as it existed, but it didn't abolish zoning, merely replace it with something arguably (slightly?) better. Its also time gated, and subject to the whim of the market, and has caveats that could fill a page.
