The initiative was drafted to ensure compliance with relevant state environmental, fair housing, and anti-discrimination laws.
The initiative does not conflict with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Single-family neighborhoods are not inherently discriminatory, and many people of color own and rent homes in these neighborhoods that represent the main means of building wealth for them. Now that BIPOC single-family neighborhoods exist, Our Neighborhood Voices finds it ironic and disturbing that there is an effort to undermine and devalue the importance of single-family homes. These are the exact neighborhoods that are being targeted by these State laws.
