We need to build more of the RIGHT KIND of housing: the kind that’s affordable for middle, working, and lower income Californians.
Enabling developers to flood the market with market-rate and luxury housing, as recent legislation does, only creates more expensive housing that few Californians can afford. If dense, market-rate, and luxury multifamily buildings were the solution, places like Manhattan, London, Moscow, and Hong Kong would be the most affordable cities in the world, not the least.
In contrast to distant state regulators, local governments are best positioned to know where and how to incentivize housing their communities need and want.
