The Impact of Zoning on Housing Affordability (2002)
If you care about places like Silicon Valley or New York, or if you care about social justice across (and within) generations, it&#x27;s time to research and understand why housing is becoming increasingly unaffordable in the most dynamic areas of the world. It&#x27;s not due to lack of land.<p>In California, we have a chance to fix things. SB-827 is a new bill that prevents local governments from banning density near public transit. It is the <i>most radical</i> housing bill in decades, because it rebalances zoning control from the local to the state level. It could result in 3 million new units being created in California, a state that builds &lt;100k per year.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;standupcalifornia.com" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;standupcalifornia.com</a> (this is a website i set up to support this issue, which i see as the most important political issue for myself and my friends, and our ability to stay in our communities)
