Bill Would Override Local Zoning Rules in Favor of Transit-Friendly Housing
Category: News & Politics
Duration: 0

Description:

A new bill proposed by state Senator Scott Wiener would override city zoning restrictions to encourage housing development near transit hubs. Proponents of SB 827 say it will mitigate California’s housing crisis and offset sprawl, while those opposed to the bill argue it will fuel displacement and relinquish local authority to the state. As city councils across the Bay Area convene to discuss the bill this week, we speak with experts about its potential impact.
