In the wealthy Los Angeles-area city of La Cañada Flintridge, for instance, city officials denied an application for a project with 80 mixed-income apartment units, along with hotel and office space, arguing it had “self-certified” its own housing plan, making it immune to the law. Last month, a court \u003ca href=\"https://oag.ca.gov/news/press-releases/attorney-general-bonta-court-orders-la-ca%C3%B1ada-flintridge-follow-state-housing#:~:text=OAKLAND%20%E2%80%94%20California%20Attorney%20General%20Rob,did%20not%20have%20a%20compliant\">ruled against the city\u003c/a>, forcing it to proceed with processing the application.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>AB 1893 clarifies where housing could be built, designating sites already used for housing, retail or office as appropriate and prohibiting projects on or adjacent to industrial sites. It also provides clearer objective standards for development, allowing projects to more than double or sometimes triple the density of housing the jurisdiction currently allows.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All of which should make it easier for developers to make sure their projects can’t be challenged in court, said Muhammad Alameldin, a policy associate with the Terner Center for Housing Innovation at UC Berkeley.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It establishes a definitive objective standard,” he said. “This also diminishes the ability for local governments to disapprove projects by adding onerous standards or refusing to process applications.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Alameldin said the projects are more likely to be financially feasible by lowering the requirements to provide affordable housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So what the bill hopes to do is that by lowering the threshold, more projects will be proposed,” he said. “By making [the affordable housing requirement] 10%, then projects could start penciling across the state.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One developer, Sasha Zbrozek, wasted no time submitting an application to build a five-unit townhouse on his property in the Bay Area’s Los Altos Hills. But just a month after he submitted it, city officials found it incomplete.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A year later, his project still hasn’t broken ground — a result, he said, of a combination of factors, including high-interest rates and regulatory hurdles. Even with the changes proposed to the builder’s remedy, Zbrozek said it’s unlikely to spur enough housing to make a dent in the state’s affordability crisis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"floatright"},"numeric":["floatright"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’ve realized that if I want to build homes, that it will need to be in a different state that has fewer and more favorable laws,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/news/11981595/controversial-california-law-meant-to-spur-new-housing-could-get-more-teeth","authors":["11652","11672"],"categories":["news_6266","news_8"],"tags":["news_3921","news_1386","news_20179","news_18538","news_27626","news_1775","news_27208","news_21358","news_3674"],"featImg":"news_11767898","label":"news"},"news_11977058":{"type":"posts","id":"news_11977058","meta":{"index":"posts_1716263798","site":"news","id":"11977058","score":null,"sort":[1708976367000]},"guestAuthors":[],"slug":"california-joins-ftc-and-8-other-states-in-suit-to-block-kroger-albertsons-supermarket-merger","title":"California Joins FTC and 7 Other States in Suit to Block Kroger-Albertsons Supermarket Merger","publishDate":1708976367,"format":"standard","headTitle":"California Joins FTC and 7 Other States in Suit to Block Kroger-Albertsons Supermarket Merger | KQED","labelTerm":{"site":"news"},"content":"\u003cp>California joined the Federal Trade Commission and a bipartisan coalition of eight other states in a lawsuit to block a proposed merger between grocery giants Kroger and Albertsons, saying the $24.6 billion deal would eliminate competition and lead to higher prices for millions of Americans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The suit that the FTC filed on Monday requests a temporary injunction blocking the deal, which the agency said would be the largest grocery merger in U.S. history.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kroger and Albertsons, two of the nation’s largest grocers, \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/business-albertsons-companies-inc-0cfbd68f81ba8aab7c1d3012c69804d9\">agreed to merge\u003c/a> in October 2022.
