Teleconference Sat. June 6, 10 am, Robert Silverstein, Leading Legal Mind on Land-Use Wars, Discusses Four Housing Bills in Sacramento that Would Destroy Your Neighborhood
Join us June 6 with L.A. land-use attorney Robert Silverstein, loved by neighborhoods but not by developers. Judges keep siding with Silverstein as he fights to save low-income Hollywood from skyscrapers, catches officials lying about known environmental impacts — and more.
Robert will discuss some of the worst 2020 housing bills rushing through in Sacramento.
Divisive legislator Scott Wiener (author of SB 827 and SB 50) is still trying to impose his San Francisco errors on all of us. In 2020, he has rushed bad bills through his Housing Committee with virtually no media coverage due to COVID-19.
To attorney Robert Silverstein, it's just one big fascinating challenge! He'll discuss:
- SB 1120 (Atkins-Wiener) Multiple homes where one home now sits, many without parking. This bill shatters ALL single-family zoning, statewide. We expect mass speculation as thriving homeowner areas become unaffordable rentals.
- SB 902 (Wiener) Cities can overturn voter-approved citizen initiatives that protect open space, shorelines and other sensitive land, to allow 10-unit luxury apartments pretty much everywhere — including on single-family streets.
- SB 1085 (Skinner) The state's failing "density bonus" program, which falls far short in creating low-income housing, is terribly eroded. This bill rewards developers who erect huge luxury buildings with fewer affordable units than ever.
- AB 725 (Wicks-Wiener) Cites are forced to rezone single-family homes to erect dense apartments, in punishment for failing to meet the state's impossible targets for approving low-income housing. Which the state refuses to finance.
We'll tell you how to be effective calling, writing and zooming with YOUR senator.
So please join us Sat. June 6 at 10 am!
