Newsom signed Senate Bill 79 into law on Friday. The historic bill, which looks to add density to transit hubs across California, is one of the most ambitious state-imposed housing efforts in recent memory.
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).
