Your regular reminder of this IMMUTABLE FACT of #CityBuiilding: if we only grow by building Way The Hell Out There then you've chosen far & away the most expensive way to build & you are, irrefutably, big spenders of Calgary's taxpayer dollars. So what else you got? #yyc #yyccc #Upzoning #Rezoning

#California Gov #Newsom signs #ScottWiener bill to bulldoze over opposition to expansion of #housing density and residential construction projects along key rail transit corridors.
New #Yimby law "Abundant & Affordable Homes Near Transit Act" (#SB79) creates less restrictive state #zoning codes, limits options for those seeking to stall plans, restrict density or halt new housing near transit stations.
Opposition to legislation included exburb #NIMBY #realestate investors who fear #construction of potential seven story condo bldgs near rail transit corridors that would destroy perception of aesthetic quaintness of #suburbs like Burlingame, or Petaluma etc.
Earlier this summer #GovNewsom signed similarly YIMBY-backed #legislation to exempt most urban apartment projects from #CEQA reviews, the state’s signature environmental protection law. “Go YIMBYs,” Newsom said when signing that bill into law.
The state's "housing crisis" conditions in which distinct lack of rental unit availability, and #Prop13 tax measure after effects etc, have all spiked the price of basic housing options, and put vast swaths of not particularly exceptional suburbs amongst the nation's highest priced #realestate markets.
“In California we talk a lot about where we don’t want to build #homes, but rarely do we talk about where we do—until now,” said law sponsoring state senator Wiener in a statement about his fourth in a decade long attempt to get similar laws passed. “SB 79 unwinds decades of overly restrictive policies that have driven housing costs to astronomical levels, forcing millions of people away from #jobs and #transit and into long commutes from the #suburbs or out of the state entirely. It has been a long road to tackling these decades-old problems, but today’s signing marks a new day for #AffordableHousing in California.”

It would be nice if the #upzoning plan didn't significantly reduce rear yard open space requirements - that removes valuable green space in the dense urban environment.
There are other approaches (great balconies!), but somehow I don;t see that playing out in San Francisco.

Really enjoyed this podcast episode of UCLA Housing Voice covering Auckland's #upzoning.
No North American cities have rezoned to midrise apartments over most of their land area like Auckland did. This was big enough to provide a strong case study, and it seems to have worked. Multifamily housing production increased by 10-fold, and initial changes in prices suggest a win-win for both existing homeowners and potential renters.
