IMO, there's no shortage of unaffordable housing so we ought to encourage 100% affordable construction for a decade or so.

Yeah, it can be done if we change zoning and create incentives to build affordable housing and disincentives to create unaffordable single family homes in suburban sprawl. That hasn't worked so well.

$3,000 fee and all sewer, parking, etc. rules waived. Neighbor's house worth $900K (not mine, he has built out).
He didn't need waivers, and should have had to earn them by renting below market to low-income qualified person.

I'm very active in my community, Aptos, CA, in Santa Cruz County where prices are just astronomical while working people are living in cars or commuting from two hours away, or more.

The Coastal Commission has had a change of heart from when they thought short-term rentals would expand opportunities for visitors to come and enjoy the coast. It's had the opposite effect.

One of the Commissioners recommended deed restrictions for any new "housing" unit built that would require owner occupancy or long term tenants.

I support that.

Nothing but a tool for greedy developers to override the will of the people and stick horrible, ugly tenements in the middle of nice neighborhoods.
