In the Bay Area, the state has only approved housing element plans for Alameda and San Francisco so far.

Louis Mirante, vice president of public policy for housing at the Bay Area Council, estimates between 65 to 70 Bay Area cities didn’t meet the deadline, which means they could face a penalty known as the “builders remedy.

“The builders remedy says a developer can come in and build an apartment building even if it’s planned for single family homes as long as there’s a substantial component of affordable housing,” Mirante said.
