Where? California
What? SB 50 (2019 | CA)
How does SB 50 change single family zoning? By permitting more high volume housing construction in areas that are near:
- high-frequency transit lines
- job clusters
- good schools
Why? California has a housing shortage estimated at 3.5 million homes and single family zoning is an obstruction to high volume housing construction
Who wins? Developers and the housing market
