Sorry everyone gets the pain. You don't get to just ban the problem.
Newsom has no credibility with, or loyalty to, anyone, except his donor class and California oligarchs.
Is this local mayor a shitheel? Maybe, probably, who knows.
I just know Gavin Newsom is a grade-A POS, and view any of his moves, especially ones he yells loudly about, with a great skepticism.
the latest escalation of Gov. Gavin Newsom’s pressure campaign on cities to help solve the housing crisis
And yet, his "solution" is "keep moving them around whenever they settle somewhere."
The move — the latest escalation of Gov. Gavin Newsom’s pressure campaign on cities to help solve the housing crisis — means Norwalk could lose eligibility for state housing and homelessness grants, and be forced to approve affordable housing projects even if they conflict with city zoning.
I'm confused, how would they fund the housing projects they may be compelled to approve without the grants, given that some of the contention in all of this is an insufficient provision of resources?
Real estate developers, in cities that are out of compliance, can build large apartment or mixed use buildings and dodge the usual permit rigamarole if they include ~~10%~~ EDIT PER THE ARTICLE: 20% designated low-income units. Here's an article, as a start:

So that wouldn't require city funding except to process the individual applications.
