Christmas came (really) early for developers in the Bay Area. These are the towns that missed an important state housing deadline, opening themselves up to the “builder’s remedy.”

Senate Bill 9, or the California HOME Act, is a state mandate imposed on local governments to plan for adequate new housing to accommodate population growth every eight years. The state issues a recommendation for how much housing a municipality should aim for, and the municipality can choose how and where to build it.

The deadline for the 2023-2031 housing element was Tuesday night. 69 townships in the Bay Area didn't make it. Some towns tried to self-certify,"which is like making their own driver's license", said Trauss; some didn't submit a draft at all; some started too late and weren't finished, like"turning in an essay with a bunch of blank pages in the middle"; and some already had their drafts rejected, so they elected to take more time to complete the state's edits.
