California Politics Maintains Course

Governor Newsom effectively ended single-family zoning in California by signing S.B. 9 and S.B. 10 into law. These two pieces of legislation will allow duplexes to be built in most neighborhoods across the state, including places where apartments had been banned, and reduce environmental rules on multifamily housing developments. S.B. 9 alone will most likely lead to the creation of more than 700,000 homes according to the University of California, Berkeley’s Terner Center. With California facing an unprecedented housing supply crisis, the state needed this immediate and bold action to spur the creation of denser housing.
