They were sold as solutions to bring down the cost of housing and reduce homelessness. Together, they take away a city\u2019s right to forbid multi-family lots anywhere, preempting any zoning requirements a city may have in place. In effect, the legislation transferred the authority to shape neighborhoods away from local governments to remote politicians in Sacramento.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\" readability=\"11.322884012539\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">BREAKING: Bye, single family zoning in California.

They say buyers could purchase a house, tear it down, and construct multiple dwellings on the same lot. However, property owners who apply for a lot split are required to sign an affidavit that they plan to reside in one of the homes for at least three years, according to the law. It remains to be seen how that stipulation will be enforced.<\/p>\n<p>An official with the Los Angeles-based AIDS Healthcare Foundation, which has long advocated on housing issues, opposed the bills and indicated \u201cthe organization is considering filing a lawsuit or qualifying a referendum for the ballot,\u201d according to The Chronicle.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
