SB9 has no teeth. Looks like local control will
win.
good for democracy and “consensus of governed”
SB9 was passed because single family zoning was called racist.
The woke generation has been spanked. Hopefully their other bankrupt ideas will be shot down also.
Lot of older and rich people also called SB9 racist. Children learn from their parents. You know who to blame for a spoilt kid.

the voters will show the grand jury its true place. Cities do not have to become urban slums to live the fancy of grand jury. Does grand jury have any authority?
In the Barron Park neighborhood of Palo Alto, the buzz of home builders now fills the 900 block of Matadero Ave. A client was considering buying a single-story brick home on Matadero and asked Popp if the nearly one-acre lot could be split and redeveloped. Popp did the research.
Under old laws, the site could have been redeveloped with a home, a small attached apartment and a backyard unit. The new law allows three single-family homes.
Popp pitched an initial design: the front of the lot would hold a 6,000-square-foot mansion and an 800-square-foot auxiliary unit; behind it would be two, 3,800-square-foot homes. Most homes in Palo Alto sit on lots smaller than the proposed subdivided parcels, Popp said. “It’s not a dense project by any means.”
The prospective owners expect to close on the property this month, Popp said. They intend to live in the big house and sell or rent the back two homes.

Finally someone speaking my language:
Who wants to live in a congested urban environment?
