The California Senate voted Wednesday on SB50, one of the most contentious state bills in years. The bill would upzone areas around transit and fourplexes in areas currently limited to single-family homes. SB50 aims to bring sweeping changes to the way housing is planned in California. The bill has been maligned as an assault on single-family homes and as a catalyst for more displacement of low-income people. The bill's author, state Sen. Scott Wiener of San Francisco, argues that reforming zoning is a critical method to solve hat he characterizes as a dire housing shortage. We discuss what happens next. |
