Gavin Newsome issuing an Executive Order that ensures that the housing crisis isn’t accidentally alleviated during reconstruction is just too on the nose.

NEW: Just issued an Executive Order that will allow victims of the SoCal fires to not get caught up in bureaucratic red tape and quickly rebuild their homes. We are also extending key price gouging protections to help make rebuilding more affordable.

Your daily reminder that it's actually the right which opposes upzoning, and normie liberals on this platform have called for eliminating zoning restrictions in the Palisades to enable reconstruction to be far denser. We need a governor who isn't scared of backlash from them.

@talkingcockatoo

I think that’s fair enough, he basically saying you can rebuild similar. If not guardrailed some person would build A 10 story house.

It would be too easy to fix the housing crisis for everyone in the state. Have to focus on the donor class.

He needs to get red of so much tape permanently for everyone

Have to love that it basically legalized all unpermitted structures if you have good lawyers

You're also adding a second/third/fourth floor to every house with the 110%. Larger properties benefit the most from this.

Housing is a "crisis" in California. Newsom's own words for years. Thus his Executive Order to expedite permitting by eliminating government "red tape" should apply to ALL of California

Artist in Los Angeles.

To me that reads like a State edict allowing houses to be 10% larger than the existing footprint. Los Angeles is super strict that rebuilds stay on the existing footprint without expanding. The governor just changed that.

That's a bad take. Building new, larger housing that isn't a 1 for 1 replacement requires more review than replacing what was lost. As it should. If you don't you won't even be able to guarantee that the new properties will have enough infrastructure to support them. I swear you

I will loosen my stranglehold by NO MORE than 10%. Be grateful.

Just think. If Newsome would've done this on most of the b******* rules in California this would be an awesome state to live in. He could've done this years ago but instead he showboating because he's getting pushed into a corner by the media finally. Newsome needs to resign

Oh no, he doesn’t want to turn beautiful coastal land into Manhattan so developers can rent out units to yuppies at 10K a month and make a billion dollars to solve the housing crisis. Rare newsom W

The housing crisis is just a choice governments make. Here is Vancouver BC which has housing crisis:

The more pertinent question that needs to be answered first is can the existing infrastructure (roads, utilities, etc.) support higher density? If not, how do you square the need to rebuild the housing as fast as possible while trying to simultaneously upgrade all infrastructure?

Also that you're not allowed to build fireproof buildings.

So...bureaucratic red tape = CEQA and if you live near the coast, also the Coastal Commission. It's telling that he doesn't need to touch any other part of the bureaucracy to allow housing to be constructed quickly.

What Cheer, Friend?

@whatcheerfriend

Kinda makes sense that someone can’t vent price controlled supplies for a skyscraper while other neighbors rebuild to ration supply, but yeah also sucks that people aren’t given the option.

Permit exemptions on a rebuild and a 9.9% addition sounds like a good deal to me.

What % will skip on climate and resiliency measures??

California has the nation’s highest housing costs. Some blame a housing shortage; others, government policies. We sit down with experts to explore what’s driving costs and discuss the state-mandated Housing Development initiative and why some cities push back.

Can’t even deregulate without regulating lol.

He knows better than the victims & producers of the needed materials. Price caps on these materials encourages sellers to not sell. Love how he admits that building rules are to strict and that they have to be loosened to make building a little more frictionless.

Just abolish CEQA Alreadyyyyyyyy

Ugh- sadly this is how the US planning regime works. They know there is a problem, and they know they are responsible. And they know that fixing it, will force them to acknowledge their responsibility. Therefore, they always pursue corrections that are narrow, and NON

You'd have to rebuild housing and UPGRADE the infrastructure at the same time, how is this lost on people?

Nobody wants an apartment ghetto in that naturally beautiful area. You guys are obsessed with trying to make people live how you want them to. Living in a SFH is what the public wants.

Hang on! This means you can't grow or move your house using the fires as a loophole! It doesn't say that no other houses can be built! Get f***ing real!

Perfectly timed chaos

Every idiot and scumbag who has ever lived in SoCal wants to make money speculating on its real estate. The laws were made so people who actually do honest work for a living have a chance to get and keep housing. As for "alleviating the housing crisis", if you build a million
