Lawmakers have unveiled a plan to stem California's housing affordability crisis, from new protections against surging rents to more apartments near public transit. The proposals could reshape the housing landscape — and they all come from the Bay Area.
California lawmakers have unveiled a far-reaching package to stem the state’s housing affordability crisis, from new protections against surging rents and evictions to more apartments near public transit and in coastal communities.
Last year, many Los Angeles activists felt blindsided by legislation written by Wiener to increase housing construction near transit. They worried that it would have undermined recently enacted plans aimed at preventing gentrification and displacement in their communities, and their opposition helped sink the bill.
By housing costs alone, the Bay Area’s affordability problems stand apart from the rest of the state. “Even as we in Southern California are experiencing strong gentrification and displacement pressures, they’re nothing compared to what has happened in Northern California,” said Manuel Pastor, a sociology professor at USC. “Large swaths of Northern California are out of reach to the average renter and home buyer.”
