lawmakers added several deferral options, allowing cities to postpone implementation in selected areas until approximately 2030
Oh so this will never happen.
There are also carve-outs around city population specifically so it doesn’t apply to Beverly Hills and around the number of rail stations in a county so it doesn’t apply to Contra Costa County.
It’s the most nothing burger of all time.
And even if it didn’t it’s just upzoning. Granted bad zoning laws are a problem sometimes but asking “developers” to decide to make apartments means you’re just going to get overpriced condos that will be used by blackstone as a financial instrument and not the kinds of affordable apartments that would bring prices down across the board.
Newsom’s media people are working hard right now to make everything he does seem really great. He sees his shot at the presidency in 2028.
Even if he wanted to do social housing (he doesn’t), it’s basically illegal under the CA Constitution and would require a statewide ballot to change. Article 34.
They tried a few years back and it went down in flames.
Yeah California’s constitution has a bunch of stupid stuff like that baked in by the neolibs, like affirmative action is illegal here too (not that that stops racists from thinking we’re doing it all the time).
Housing price go down is non-negotiable.
but they’ll take the money up front!
transit hub in America: a covered bus shelter
transit hub in China: this single train station is nearly three times the size of Heathrow’s entire terminal complex
three times the size of Heathrow’s entire terminal complex
I don’t know if this is a good thing…Heathrow is impossibly large and was designed by a twelve yearold
Chongqing probably sees crazy tourism year round. And add any maintenance/parking yards for rail and the size stacks up easily.
Once you start looking for it, god damn does infrastructure (including rail but other things too) take up a lot of space. Over half of any given city is just the stuff that makes the other stuff work.
Don’t talk shit about my transit hub! There are multiple covered bus shelters and a metroPCS store
