and others in Silicon Valley along with affluent Marin County enclaves would have had to allow apartment construction in many single-family-only neighborhoods.
McGuire, who represents Marin and Sonoma counties among other Northern California communities, said suburban and rural counties should be treated differently in housing policy.“What works for downtown L.A. will not work for downtown Santa Rosa,” McGuire said. “More housing, more affordable housing, will be built under this bill respecting the population at hand.”
Wiener’s bill would delay implementation in neighborhoods at risk of gentrification for five years to allow those communities to develop their own plans to increase density. All new construction for projects larger than 10 units would have to set aside a portion for low-income residents. And developers who hope to take advantage of SB 50 would be prohibited from demolishing homes on properties where tenants have lived for at least seven years.
SB 50 continues to face a long road to passage and may not succeed if other housing bills don’t garner support.
America let's build LEED sustainable residential towers that are lifepods hostels with techno learning & entertainment equipment for continuous learning & shared transportation exercise kitchen & bathrooms and rented below $400 a month all Bill's included doit
That “compromise” makes sense, but Silicon Valley should NOT be exempt. It’s the home of many Fortune 500 companies! They have no problem collecting all their payroll tax, but doesn’t want to house the employees - creating insane traffic and housing prices for the rest of the Bay
