ICYMI, the @sfchronicle ran my guest contribution about California's most effective housing streamlining policy.

The San Francisco Chronicle has my op-ed today about the success of Bonus Law to streamline housing approvals in California, and how SF is trying to avoid it.

@follobj @sfchronicle @cayimby @Yimby_Law @yimbyaction @YIMBYDemsSD @Up4Growth @CirculateSD @housingdefense @HACdotorg It will help, at least some. National laws supersede local ones.

@ColinParent @sfchronicle @cayimby @Yimby_Law @yimbyaction @YIMBYDemsSD @Up4Growth @CirculateSD @housingdefense @HACdotorg Do you know if the new bill that passed in DC will help in the bay area at all? Or will it be supersed by local laws?

Our CEO and General Counsel @ColinParent is in the @sfchronicle this morning with a guest contribution.
Our statewide legislative efforts are showing real results all across California.

This weekend the @CirculateSD hosted our annual board and staff retreat. We got a tour of the North City development between CSU San Marcos and the NCTD Sprinter station.
It's a beautiful ground-up community, building a new downtown from scratch.

I'm taking a train across most of this stretch later this week. I'll report back my conclusions.

@CSElmendorf Unfortunately I do not. Tracking how these incentives and waivers are actually being used has been an ongoing challenge.
English
@ColinParent Do you know of cases where SDBL has been used to get transfer tax relief as an incentive?

SF still has time to rethink what it’s doing. And if not, state regulators have show a lot of willingness to enforce state laws.
The next governor will need to keep the momentum going, if we are to see more homes in California.

BREAKING: the clock struck midnight and our bipartisan housing bill is now law.
Trump refused to sign it, but he couldn't stop it.
This law is GROUNDBREAKING.
It will build more housing, bring down costs, and for the first time, stop private equity from buying up homes.

SF is not alone here. LA also has policies intended to undermine their obligations under CA law, and both cities are being sued because of it.
Many smaller cities also play these games. We shouldn't let them.

The Family Zoning Plan has some merits to be sure, and creates its own local bonus, through which it shows it has capacity for 36,000 more units. But its own local bonus precludes the use of Bonus Law.
The 36,000 is supposed to be a floor, SF is trying to make it a ceiling.
English
Despite the success of Bonus Law (or perhaps because of it), San Francisco’s Family Zoning Plan seeks to avoid it.
In particular, SF is required to zone for 36,000 new homes, excluding Bonus Law. That means with Bonus Law, they should be able to accommodate up to 72,000.
English
Other streamlining laws like AB 2011 and SB 423 *are* helping get thousands of units approved.
Still, when totaling all other streamlining laws, they are being used one tenth as often as Bonus Law.
Bonus Law has become the flagship streamlining policy for housing in CA.
English
Between 2021 and 2024, recent amendments to Bonus Law helped 140,000 new homes get entitlements.
By the numbers, these bills have created the most housing approvals of any signed into law by Gov. @GavinNewsom.

Earlier this year @CirculateSD published “Win-Win Bonus,” which documents the impact of recent legislation to enhance California's housing Bonus Law.

Chili crisp and sweet jalapeno hot dogs. It was great, (and I'm feeling like a mad scientist).
