A game-changing study by Embarcadero Institute shows that our urban areas are fast-approving TOO MUCH luxury housing under the state’s laws. The findings severely weaken state Sen. Scott Wiener’s upzoning mantra and place grave doubt on the success of state “density bonus” laws to reduce the affordability crisis.
A flurry of 2020 bills will again try to force 400+ cities to upzone. Hear tomorrow from think tank founder Gabrielle Layton, Embarcadero Institute, about state data at the heart of her study. The study should make Sacramento rethink its path.
Please call-in tomorrow 10 am-11:30am to talk reality with Gabrielle Layton. (Call-in info below)
Please acquaint yourself beforehand with the spreadsheet and short summary below:
Embarcadero Institute Chart and RHNA Spreadsheet: Most big counties are approving HUGE, even EXCESSIVE amounts, of luxury housing. Rural counties and 4 big outlier counties are far behind.
