More about SB 9:
SB 9 by Toni Atkins and Scott Wiener. This divisive bill, crushes single-family zoning in California, a threat to 7 million homeowners. Wiener has called yards and single-family homes “immoral.” SB 9 is not a “duplex” bill. It allows 4 market-rate homes where 1 now stands, up to 6 units if developers use a hidden “two-step” that Livable California volunteer attorneys spotted, and 8 units with local accessory dwelling units (ADUs)
SB 9 is the beginning of the end of homeownership in California, as investors and pension funds jump into bidding wars against families. Facing withering criticism, author Atkins, in a Sacramento Bee op-ed, said her bill gives “homeowners the opportunity to reimagine their property.” No. Only the rich and developers can finance full-sized homes in the yard. SB 9 is a senseless gamble against 21M people living in homes they own
