Some housing bills I'd like to see Gavin Newsom
sign include:
#SB4 affordable housing on religious/college land
#AB309 & #SB555 mixed income housing
#SB423 faster approvals for housing
#SB567 enforcing tenant protections
#AB1033 allow cities to allow ADUs to be sold separately

In addition to #SB567 other key bills in this year's fair housing/tenant protection package include:
#AB12 cap on deposits
#AB1218 replacement for demo'd units
#AB1418 bans racist crime-free housing laws
#AB1620 allows disabled tenant to switch units, keep rent control

On the production side, in addition to SB4, SB423, and AB1033, some other important bills include
#AB835 bldg code study for point-access blocks
#AB976 continues to allow ADUs on rental property
#AB1287 incentives for moderate income housing
#AB1633 stops CEQA delays

With that said, of all the remaining 60+ bills that the Legislature has passed, all of them are going to make positive contributions to solving California's housing crisis. Let's get them all signed. 🏡🏡

Protect and Produce! Also supported by CA Dem Party are:
- Rick Chavez Zbur's #AB1335, requiring cities to plan for enough new homes to meet population growth, + #AB1620 to allow disabled tenants in a rent controlled apartment to switch to a ground floor unit at the same rent.

- Tina McKinnor's #AB1418 anti-discrimination bill

- Anna Caballero's #SB225 to preserve housing affordability in existing bldgs

- Nancy Skinner's #SB440 regional affordable housing funding 2/

CA law also limits rent control to tenants who stay in the same apartment. This means that many older & disabled tenants are stuck on upper floors of buildings without elevators.
Rick Chavez Zbur's #AB1620 would allow them to switch to a ground-flooor apartment at the same rent.

Affordable housing usually doesn't have to worry about gouging. However, because affordable rents are set based on Area Median Income - if an area gets rich, it causes affordable housing rents to rise. Mia Bonta's #AB846 would limit the increase.
