Democrats Remain Split Over Historic Housing Bill
California's liberal establishment remains divided over a controversial new housing law that allows large residential developments to be built near transit stops with no local input.
SB 79, opposed by 131 California cities and supported by five, including Santa Monica, was signed by Governor Gavin Newsom and hailed by supporters as the most significant housing bill in the State's history.
"In California we talk a lot about where we don’t want to build homes, but rarely about where we do -- until now,"
said the bill's sponsor Sen. Scott Wiener (D-San Francisco) after the Governor's signing.
