Unfortunately, SF Bay area reps in Sacramento with help from goons like Lorena Gonzalez push SBs 9&10 that basically strip away any local control of land use within a mile of any public transit hub (bus stop). Developers and their paid for governor, state senators and assembly people are, in conjunction with the the state AG, using these two bills to force their development projects through completely circumventing CEQA and local established zoning regulations.
The only way to counter this is to vote out all Democratic incumbents at state and local levels.
When SB827 was in the works back in 2017 thanks to Scott Weiner I made a bunch of posts about these "transportation corridors" and how the state was rearranging them.
People in seaside SLO county thought it was a great idea.lol.
Around my neighborhood you can now build up to 8 stories high and few blocks away up to 10 stories. Also, parking codes have been eliminated, so there are no parking requirements for any new project.
All this has been pushed through because of "climate change".
They want more density, and they want you to have the freedom of an e-bike (not a car).
This is what the people want, until they get it, then they complain, then they go and vote for the exact same candidates because the earth is burning up and trans.
