Livable California: Please join us for a 10 a.m. June 26 teleconference on how we kill the Bad Bills as they move through the legislature, and how we support the good ones.

We will also have an afternoon training on how to join Twitter and fight the bills. This will be a small group meeting by separate invitation.

If you missed the Assembly hearing this week, one frustrated legislator said into a live mike, “How am I supposed to vote on that?” Other legislators expressed even worse frustration toward SB 9 and SB 10.

SB 9: Approved by the housing committee. The vote was 5 Yes, 2 “No Vote Recorded” and 1 No. This split vote tells us the Assembly is worried about killing single-family zoning statewide, an unprecedented experiment with the lives of 21M unsuspecting Californians.

“No Vote Recorded” is like abstaining, viewed as a soft No. Note: No affordable housing is included in SB 9.

SB 10: Approved by the housing committee with 6 Yes, 1 NVR and 1 No. For Assemblymembers who did not get this memo: SB 10 lets city councils to allow developers, without a hearing or CEQA, to build 14-unit luxury projects on single-family zoned, business-zoned, or apartment-zoned streets.

SB 10 allows 10 base units plus 2 ADUs (granny flats), and 2 Junior ADUs. Total: 14 luxury units. Note: No affordable housing is included in SB 10. See LA Times ad here slamming SB 9 and SB 10’s blindness to affordable housing. Click to reach the ad, on Page 9.
