And in today's "elections have consequences" news...

Gov. Newsom abolishes most single-family zoning in California


In one of his first actions after surviving an election seeking to oust him from office, Gov. Gavin Newsom on Thursday essentially abolished single-family zoning in California — and green-lighted a series of bills intended to bolster the state’s housing production.

By signing Senate Bill 9 into law, Newsom opened the door for the development of up to four residential units on single-family lots across California. The move follows a growing push by local governments to allow multi-family dwellings in more residential neighborhoods. Berkeley voted to eliminate single-family zoning by Dec. 2022, and San Jose is set to consider the issue next month.

While opponents fear such a sweeping change will destroy the character of residential neighborhoods, supporters hail it as a necessary way to combat the state’s persistent housing crisis and correct city zoning laws that have contributed to racial segregation.

Rule 2 in real estate-Highest and Best use of land.

This will drive prices of single units higher as the value of the land just increased, buyers will buy undervalued land and destroy anything on it to developed 4. Another wave of californians are going to flood the free states driving single unit pricing up more.

Its going to suck for those that stay.

Good.  Hopefully they can't afford to sell their property and move to other states then.

California is and should be classified as a rouge state conquered by hostile Socialist domestic terrorists and must be invaded and retaken! Unfortunately this is the master plan long in the making by the Usurper Biden’s masters.

I’d say elections have consequences, but I think the Dem fraud machine is strong in CA.  Likely, more than half the state’s population is being dragged by the communists.

Now that SFRs are going to be even more limited, the home prices will go up even more.

Sweet, now the lot that you could build one 1200 sf 800k house on, you can build 4 600 sf apts. The rental income will be awesome.

When the neighbors next door dont like it, you buy their place 2 and do another. Soon you will have whole streets of small over priced apts.

This will make the value of single family homes that are convertible to multiplexes go up, and the former owners will take their shiny new equity and move and make the value of homes in other areas go up.

It will make it harder and harder for young professionals and young couples to buy their first single family home.

And will certainly spill over into other states as some former owners leave commiefornia.

Exactly.

It is kind of what you would expect the BlM/Antifa/college anrchist and their useful idiot backers to do.

But they won’t. This just means that every upper middle class and lower neighborhood is going to get their very own housing projects.

Acreage probably just became a lot more valuable. A neighbor subdividing his house into four shit holes is less of a problem if they're 100 yards away vs 10 feet away

Make it lower cost for POC and "Tolerant Liberals" (as per Liberal Logic), and maybe folks will leave those draconian intolerant red states for Californian freedom.

Local zoning has done that in many places.
I see it by me all the time.

Most apartment complexes also turn a blind eye to occupancy limits too.
Not super uncommon to have 4+ adults in a 2 bedroom apartment. Of course each one has a car. Most apartments have one assigned spot and one first come, first served guest pass.

Complex down the street from me has cars street parked in 1/2 mile in every direction at night.
