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. π‘π‘
The biggest water user in California isn't people taking showers, nor is it lawns: It's legislators watering down housing bills.
The "social housing" bill #AB309 (Lee), which had already been watered down to just three pilot projects, now doesn't even have a public ownership requirement for those pilots. What's the point anymore?
Many housing bills got California Democratic Party's support as major priorities at this weekend's Visalia conference.
- Scott Wiener's #SB423 to streamline new home approvals
- Alex Lee's social housing bill #AB309
- Maria Elena Durazo tenant protections bill #SB567
- Matt Haney's #AB12 to limit security deposits to 1 month rent
- Dawn Addis's #AB318 mobile home tenant protections
- Josh Lowenthal's #AB1218 requiring replacement units for housing demolished for nonresidential bldgs
