Please join us Sat. at 10 AM with Gab Layton of Embarcadero Institute, a think tank that’s set off fireworks over a law by Scott Wiener that exaggerated by nearly 100% the amount of housing needed in many cities. A second law holds cities to the vast error!
Is DMV in charge here? The 9 Bad Bills we opposed in 2020 got as far as they did due to drama around “need” for market-rate housing. L.A. Times blames neighbors and cities for opposing it, even as vacant market-rate units pile into L.A.
Gab Layton will discuss:
- Wiener’s SB 828 (2018). It has forced Newsom’s housing division to double-count the units needed (perhaps unknowingly).
- The exaggerated need is cited by legislators close to developers.
- Cities have grossly over-approved market-rate housing.
- Legislators have starved affordable housing funds since 2011.
How often can legislators get snookered by Wiener and Co.?
We’ll recap your/our excellent 2020 fight against legislators who want to hand more gifts to, yes, market-rate builders. We have a headache!
Please join us with Gab Layton on Saturday, Oct. 10 at 10 am!
