LAW THAT ESTABLISH ADDITIONAL
PARKING RACIAL RESTRICTIONS ON
DEVELOPMENT NEAR A MAJOR TRANSIT
STOP. IN TWO THOUSAND THREE THE
CALIFORNIA LEGISLATOR CREATED
DENSITY BONUSES TO.
GIVE LOCAL GOVERNMENTS.
ASH TO GIVE THEM.
THE INCENTIVE.
TO LOOK OF A GOVERNMENT TO
DEVELOP AFFORDABLE HOUSING
THOUGH THROUGH THIS LAW
DEVELOPMENTS WERE CAPPED THROUGH
A SET NUMBER PARKING SPACES PER
UNIT. THAT IN TWO THOUSAND
SIXTEEN CHANGES AND DENSITY
BONUS LAW FORCED LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS TO FURTHER REDUCE
THE NUMBER OF PARKING SPACES
REQUIRED FOR NEW FOR THE HOUSING
TO.
IT'S NEAR TRANSIT CENTERS.
THOUGH IT IS CLEAR THAT THE
EFFORT TO MOVE PEOPLE OUT OF
THEIR CARS AND INTO PUBLIC
TRANSIT IS THE INTENT OF THE
PREVIOUS LEGISLATION PARKING
RATIO. HOWEVER THE PRESSURES
CREATED BY THESE ESTRICTIONS
HAVE CAUSED CONCERN IN MANY
COMMUNITIES WITH HIGH DENSITY
HOUSING.
DEVELOPMENTS OF DIG DENS HOUSING
PAIR WHAT IN IT WOULD NOT ENOUGH
PARKING DUE TO LOW PARKING RATIO
CAN OVERBURDEN NEIGHBORHOODS BY
FORCING RESIDENTS TO PARK ON THE
STREETS IMPEDING FLOW OF TRAFFIC.

REDUCING
T. ON OUR STREETS I'M FRANKLY
FLIES IN THE FACE OF A LOT OF
OUR LOCAL PLANNING EFFORTS THAT

DENSITY BONUS LAW AND SO
THEREFORE WE ASK THAT YOU OPPOSE

THANK YOU.
OF QUESTIONS OF THE AUTHOR FROM.
THE MEMBERS
THE QUESTIONS.
THIS STORY OF.
.
DO YOU LIKE TO MAKE A CLOSE.
AT HISTORIC DISTRICTS BUCKLEY
ASKED WOULD I VOTE WHEN YOU HAVE
A FULL COMMITTEE THANK YOU.
CENTER.
WE WILL.
WE WILL VOTE ON THAT ITEM WHEN
WE RECEIVE A QUORUM CENTER.
THANK YOU.
SENATOR GLAZERS YOUR HAIR YEAR
OF.
SIR GLAZERS AND SEVEN ASSISTS
AS THE.
TOWARD NINETY SIX.
.
WE WILL.
YOU HAVE THE FLOOR CENTER THANK
YOU THANK YOU MISTER CHAIRMAN
AND MEMBERS.
I'M HERE TO PRESENT A BILL THAT
I THINK WILL INCREASE
TRANSPARENCY AND ACCOUNTABILITY.
UP BY CREATING A CENTRALLY
LOCATED DATABASE OF FEES TO
LOCAL GOVERNMENTS.
AND SPECIAL DISTRICTS CHARGE IN
THE CONSTRUCT.
THE HOUSING CRISIS CAN BE BOILED
DOWN TO ONE KEY ISSUE. A LACK OF
SUPPLY. AND ALTHOUGH THERE ARE
MANY BARRIERS TO PROVIDING AN
ADEQUATE HOUSING SUPPLY. ONE OF
THOSE IS THE COST OF BUILDING
HOUSING.
LOCAL FEES CONTRIBUTE TO THIS
COSTS.
IT'S FEES CAN BE ASSESSED TO
COVER THE IMPACTS A NEW HOUSING
DEVELOPMENT CAN HAVE ON
INFRASTRUCTURE.
SCHOOLS UTILITIES ARE PARKS JUST
TO NAME A FEW.
AND THERE A NUMBER OF STUDIES
THAT FOUND THAT FEEDS CAN
INCREASE THE COST OF BUILDING BY
UP TO EIGHTEEN PERCENT.
A LACK OF COORDINATION BETWEEN
CITY DEPARTMENTS IN THE AREA THE
VARIANCES OF FEES ACROSS
JURISDICTIONS.
MAKE IT EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO
ESTIMATE THE COST OF FEES FOR
DEVELOPERS LOOKING TO BUILD
HOUSING.
THIS COULD ULTIMATELY PERSUADE
DEVELOPERS FROM BUILDING HOUSING
SOMEWHERE ALTOGETHER. OR
INCREASE THE COST OF HOUSING
WHEN IT IS BUILT.
FOR EXAMPLE A STUDY TO MY
RELEASE LAST YEAR COMPARING FEES
ASSOCIATED WITH HOUSE
DEVELOPMENT
CAN YOU TAKE A FOUND.
THAT'S THEY MENTION VARY
CONSIDERABLY ACROSS
JURISDICTIONS.
AND NATIONAL CITY JUST A FEW
MILES SOUTH OF SAN DIEGO TOTAL
FEES.
WERE THIRTY THREE THOUSAND TWO
HUNDRED NINETY SIX DOLLARS.
IN THAT TORY HIGHLANDS JUST
NORTH OF SAN DIEGO THAT THAT
SAME PROJECTED FEES TOTALING ONE
HUNDRED AND SEVENTY. THOUSAND
DOLLARS. ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT A
FEE IS APPROPRIATE IS NOT THE
ISSUE THIS BILL IS CONCERNED
WITH.
AND ALTHOUGH EXISTING LAW
REQUIRES SOME LEVEL OF
TRANSPARENCY FOR LOCALS AND
SPECIAL DISTRICTS.
I BY REQUIRING THEM TO DISCLOSE
THESE FEES. ARE. THESE THE
DISCLOSURES ARE USUALLY NOT
CENTRALLY LOCATED.
SO IN ORDER TO INCREASE
TRANSPARENCY FOR THE PUBLIC MAKE
GOOD PUBLIC POLICY DECISIONS
THAT ADEQUATELY EVALUATE. THE
REASONABLENESS OF BUILDING FEES.
WE NEED TO MAKE THE STATE A MORE
ACCESSIBLE BY CREATING A
CENTRALIZED DATABASE.
SO THIS BILL BILL TOP OF THE
BILL YOU GUYS PASSED OUT LAST
YEAR AB EIGHT SEVENTY NINE.
WHICH COMMISSION A REPORT THAT
WE RELEASE IN THE SUMMER OF TWO
THOUSAND NINETEEN LOOKING AT
FEES.
AND SAMPLE OF CITIES AND
PROVIDING RECOMMENDATIONS.
AFTER CONSULTING WITH
STAKEHOLDERS THERE IS A
CONSENSUS THAT CREATING THIS
DATABASE IS SOMETHING WE SHOULD
DO REGARDLESS OF WHAT THAT
REPORT FINDS.
I THIS BILL IMPROVES
TRANSPARENCY ACCESSIBILITY THIS
INFORMATION BETTER INFORMS THE
PUBLIC AND ALLOWS POLICYMAKERS
TO MAKE BETTER DECISIONS.
THE BILL SUPPORTED BY A
COALITION OF NONPROFITS
BUSINESSES AND HOUSING ADVOCATES.
AND I RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR
AYE VOTE. JOINING ME TODAY IS
JENNIFER SACK FOR THE CALIFORNIA
ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS.
I ALSO HAVE DAVID GARCIA. WHO
WAS THE POLICY DIRECTOR FOR UC
BERKELEY'S TURNER CENTER FOR
HOUSING INNOVATION? WHO CAN TALK
ABOUT THE CENTER'S FINDINGS ON
LOCAL FEES CHARGED TO HOUSE
THANK YOU MISTER?
BUT YOU SERVE SPEAKERS IN FAVOR
PLEASE. MISTER CHAIR MEMBERS OF
THE COMMITTEE JENNIFER SPECK ON
BEHALF CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION OF
REALTORS HERE IN SUPPORT.
AS BE TWELVE NINETY SEXES TWELVE
NINETY SIX IS THE NEXT LOGICAL
STEP AND BUILDS UPON AB EIGHT
SEVENTY NINE GRAYSON LAST YEAR.
OF.
IF I HAD THE BILL WILL ALLOW THE
PUBLIC TO COMPARE FEES ACROSS
JURISDICTIONS AND ANALYZE THE
REASONABLENESS OF SUCH FEES.
IT'S VITALLY IMPORTANT HOUSING
CRISIS THAT WE HAVE THAT WE HAVE
THE NECESSARY DATA TO FIND OUT
WHAT THE IMPEACHMENTS ARE IN
ORDER TO CREATE AN AFFORDABLE
HOUSING SUPPLY ACROSS. THE
ENTIRE STATE OF CALIFORNIA
WITHOUT HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY
QUESTIONS THE COMMITTEE MAY HAVE
AND PERSPECTIVE ACOSTA AYE VOTE.
SPEAKERS IN FAVOR PLEASE.
CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS OF THE
COMMITTEE THANK YOU OF LAST
SUMMER OUR RESEARCH TEAM MADE UC
BERKELEY TURSUNOV HOUSING
INNOVATION.
SET OUT TO ACCOMPLISH A
SEEMINGLY STREET FOR TEN.
IT'S WAS TO DEVELOP.
INVESTMENT FOR LIKE TO MOVE THE
BILL.
BUT I AM COR.
WELL. VOTER ORDERS TO STRAFE.
GO AHEAD SIR HE WAS OF.
OUT OF ORDER.
I MEAN HE'S HE'S COMING JERRY.
AND.
OUR RESEARCH SEEMS TO HAVE TO
FIGURE OUT EXACTLY HOW MUCH FEES
ARE CHARGED ON THE PRINCIPLE
DEVELOPMENT PROJECT ACROSS SEVEN
CALIFORNIA CITIES AND. LONG
STORY SHORT WE THOUGHT WAS A
TREAT FOR TASK ENDED UP INTO
TURNING INTO AN ODYSSEY OF
COMING THROUGH DIFFICULT FIGHT
FEE SCHEDULES COBBLING TOGETHER
INFORMATION ACROSS CITY
DEPARTMENTS AND REPEATED.
INTERVIEWS WITH VERY CITY
OFFICIALS OF WE DETAIL ALL THIS
RESEARCH IN OUR LATEST REPORT ON
DEVELOPMENT FEES RELEASED JUST
LAST MONTH AND IT HAS.
PART ITS REPORT WE FOUND THAT
DEVELOPER FEES ARE SIMPLY
INCREDIBLY DIFFICULT TO ESTIMATE
AND WELL UNDERSTANDING FEES
REQUIRES A LEVEL OF COMPLEXITY.
GIVEN THAT THEIR SPECIFIC TO
EACH PROJECT X. COMPLEXITY MAKES
IT DIFFICULT FOR DEVELOPERS
UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO
BE CHARGED WHICH THEY NEED TO
KNOW IN ADVANCE TO ASSESS THE
PROJECT'S FINANCIAL VIABILITY.
DEVELOPER'S WE SPOKE WITH
GENERALLY SAID THAT IT'S
DIFFICULT FOR THEM TO DEVELOP
THESE ESTIMATES AND PLANNERS AT
CITIES WE REVIEW EVEN TOLD US
THAT DEVELOPER SIMPLY HAVE TO
KNOW SOMEONE. AT THE CITY
PLANNING DEPARTMENT JUST GET THE
INFORMATION THAT THEY NEED.
IN OUR RESEARCH CALCULATING FEES.
CONFIRM THESE ACCOUNTS NOW
AFTER OUR FIRST ATTEMPTS CUTAWAY
FEES REQUIRED SEVERAL FOLLOW UP
INTERVIEWS WITH CITY OFFICIALS
BECAUSE INFORMATION WAS EITHER
SCATTERED ON CITY WEBSITES.
OUTDATED NOT APPLICABLE TO OUR
PROJECT OR SIMPLY NOT AVAILABLE
SO THIS IS AN ISSUE PARTICULARLY
AS IT PERTAINS TO SMALL AND
MEDIUM SIZE DEVELOPERS WHO
WE DON'T HAVE THE REAL.
THE TIME OR THE CONNECTIONS
TO DETERMINE ACT WHAT THEY'RE
GONNA BE CHARGED ON THEIR
PROJECTS SO YOU CAN IMAGINE IF
IT'S DIFFICULT FOR LARGER
DEVELOPERS OF SOMEONE IS TRYING
TO BUILD AN EXIT
RECALLING IT.
IT'S GONNA BE DIFFICULT FOR THE
DO THAT SO ON WITH ALL THAT
BEING SAID IT. IS A HAVE
CERTAINLY APPROPRIATE TO PURSUE.
AVENUES TO.
MAKES FEES MORE TRANSPARENT

SIR ROSS YOU MAY PRESENT YOUR
BILL.
ITEM FIVE SP ELEVEN TWENTY
EIGHT THANK YOU.
THANK YOU MISSED YOUR CALLING
SAYS SENATE BILL ELEVEN TWENTY
EIGHT.
TO CUT TO THE CHASE THOSE THREE
THINGS
S. FIRST.
IT ALLOWS RESIDENTS OF AN
ASSOCIATION TO OPT INTO
RECEIVING CERTAIN DOCUMENTS SUCH
AS ANNUAL BUDGETS ANNUAL POLICY
STATEMENTS ETCETERA BY EMAIL.
THROUGH THE USE OF EMAIL AS
OPPOSED TO SENDING IN A WRITING
OR LETTER.
SECOND IT CHANGES THE NOTICE
REQUIREMENT PERIOD FOR A
PROPOSED RULE CHANGE
TO TWENTY EIGHT DAYS FROM THIRTY
DAYS BASICALLY THIS IS ONLY A
PROBLEM ONCE A YEAR IN FEBRUARY.
BUT IF YOU NOTICE YOUR.
ACTIVITY IN JANUARY THEY'RE NOT
THEY'RE NOT ENOUGH DAYS TO MAKE
IT TO THIRTY IN ORDER TO HAVE AN
ACTION OCCUR IN FEBRUARY SO.
THAT'S THE PURPOSE FOR THIS
CHANGE AND FINALLY SENATE BILL
ELEVEN TWENTY EIGHT ALLOWS FOR
ELECTION.
BY ACCLAMATION IN THE EVENT THAT
THE NUMBER OF CANDIDATES
SEEKING ELECTION TO A BOARD.
IT'S EQUAL TO OR FEWER THAN THE
NUMBER OF BOARD SEATS AVAILABLE.
THE BILL IS NOT ABOUT
DETERMINING WHO IS ELIGIBLE TO
VOTE NOR IS THE BILL ABOUT.
DETERMINING WHO IS ELIGIBLE TO
SERVE AS A DIRECTOR. BILLS SUCH
AS.
SENATOR WHITE CAO SKIS BILL
WHICH WE WILL HERE SHORTLY I
ASSUME SENATE BILL EIGHT THIRTY
ONE.
WELL HOPEFULLY RESOLVE THOSE
ISSUES
ONCE THOSE ISSUES ABOUT
ELIGIBILITY TO VOTE IN
ELIGIBILITY TO SERVE AS A
DIRECTOR HAVE BEEN RESOLVED.
FOR EXAMPLE IF ONLY THREE
CANDIDATES REMAIN FOR THE THREE
VACANCIES AVAILABLE. THE BILL
WOULD SIMPLIFY THE PROCESS AND
ALLOW THOSE THREE CANDIDATES TO
BE SEATED.
BY ACCLAMATION.
THANK YOU MISTER SPEAKERS IN
FAVOR PLEASE.
MISTER CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS I'M
BRAD HUDSON AND CEO OF LAGUNA
WOODS VILLAGE A COMMON INTEREST
DEVELOPMENT WITH MORE THAN
TWELVE THOUSAND SEVEN HUNDRED
HOMES IN OVER EIGHTEEN THOUSAND
MOSTLY LOW INCOME RESIDENTS AGE
FIFTY FIVE AND OLDER.
WE'RE THE SPONSOR OF S. B.
ELEVEN TWENTY EIGHT.
MOST OF OUR MEMBERS LIVE ON
MODEST FIXED INCOMES WE STRIVE
TO BE AS FRUGAL AS POSSIBLE WITH
THEIR RESOURCES.
WE SEEK EFFICIENCIES TO KEEP
COSTS UNDER CONTROL THIS BILL
PRODUCT OF THOSE EFFORTS.
IT DOES THREE THINGS.
PERFECT DRESS IS A TECHNICALITY
THAT CURRENTLY ARE MEMBERS. NOW
RECEIVE H. WAY DOCUMENTS TO HARD
COPY OR EMAIL AT THE CENTER JUST
SAID THIS GIVES HIM AN OPTION.
OUGHT TO MAKE THAT REQUEST.
VIA EMAIL INSTEAD OF SENDING US
A LETTER. I'M MUCH MORE
EFFICIENT SEKALI THE BILL
SHORTENS THE NOTICE.
FOR RULES CHANGES FROM THIRTY
TO TWENTY EIGHT DAYS THAT SOUNDS
KIND OF SILLY BUT. LAST YEAR.
BECAUSE WE HAVE OUR MEETINGS ON
THE FIRST SECOND AND THIRD
TUESDAY OF THE MONTH EIGHT TIMES
THERE WERE NOT. THIRTY DAYS OR
TWENTY NINE THERE WERE TWENTY
EIGHT. AND THERE'S A LITTLE LESS
THAN THIRTY DAYS AND SO. OF THAT.
THOSE ACTIONS HAD TO BE DEFERRED
ANOTHER MONTH.
OR A SPECIAL MEETING. IT'S NOT
TELEVISE THAT RESIDENTS HAVE A
HARDER TIME ATTENDING OCCURS
THAT FRIDAY AFTER THE REGULAR
MEETING ON TUESDAY WHICH IS NOT
A VERY GOOD THING IN TERMS OF
TRANSPARENCY.
AND AGAIN THE MOST SIGNIFICANT
COST SAVINGS.
IT'S UP
IS VOTER VOTING BY ACCLAMATION
IN THE CASE OF THE CENTER SAID
WHERE WHERE THE NUMBER OF
CANDIDATES IS LESS CENTER EQUAL
TO THE NUMBER OF VACANCIES.
CURRENT LAW GIVES MUNICIPALITIES
SPECIAL DISTRICTS SCHOOL
DISTRICTS SOME AUTHORITY IN THIS
MATTER.
WIN SUCH INSTANCE CURSE.
AT THE TWO MINUTES SO WE CAN
WRAP IT UP PLEASE.
BUT WHEN IT WOULD RULE IS TO PUT
THIS RULE IN A PLACE FOR A JOINT
WE SPENT SIXTY THOUSAND DOLLARS
LAST YEAR ON THREE ELECTIONS. AT
WORK IN SUCH A CIRCUMSTANCE WE
THINK ARM OUR RESOURCES IN THOSE
WHAT RESIDENTS
BETTER.
BETTER SERVE PROVIDING SERVICES
TO THEM.
THEN TWO THOUSAND. CONTINUE
THIS PROCESS THANK YOU NEXT
WITNESS.
MISTER CHAIRMAN MEMBERS THE
COMMITTEE LOUIS BROWN ON BEHALF
THE COMMUNITY ASSOCIATIONS
INSTITUTE AND THE CLERK AND THE
CALIFORNIA LEGISLATIVE ACTION
COMMITTEE. AWARE IN SUPPORT OF
SB ELEVEN TWENTY FROM MANY OF
THE RECENT STATED THERE ARE OVER
FIFTY THOUSAND ASSOCIATIONS IN
THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA THAT
RANGE FROM ALL SIZES FROM SIX TO.
FIFTEEN THOUSAND RESIDENTS
SIGNIFICANT COSTS THAT COME WITH
A THE ELECTIONS IN THE ELECTION
PROCESS HE'S THAT'S ALREADY A
OUTLINED IN CURRENT LAW. WERE
SIMPLY SAYING TO AND THE BIGGEST
PORTION OF THIS BILL IS TO ALLOW
FOR THOSE COSTS THREE SAVINGS BY
THE MEMBERS THE OWNERS OF THOSE
ASSOCIATIONS WHEN AND ONLY WHEN.
THE NUMBER OF A CAN'T IT NUMBER
OF CANDIDATES IS THE SAME AS OR
FEWER THAN OPEN SEATS.
I THIS IS A THIS A. COMMONSENSE
MEASURE IN OUR MIND MAKES A
WHOLE LOT OF SENSE AND IT'S
REALLY FINANCIALLY PRUDENT FOR
OUR SUSPICIONS THROUGHOUT THE
STATE WE ASK FOR A NIGHT OF.
THANK YOU.
COOLEY SPEAKER I HAVE PEOPLE
TESTIFY IN FAVOR OF THIS BILL
PLEASE.
AND MOLINA TRATANDO SYCAMORE

NO ROBERT REBEKAH CURRENT
PRESIDENT OF SETTING NEED RANCHO
PC IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA I
SUPPORT THIS BILL AS WELL.
YOU.
BUT WE HAVE PEOPLE THAT ARE NOT
IN SUPPORT OF THE BILL COME FOR
PLEASE.
I'M FOR PLEASE.
THOSE THAT ARE NOT IN FAVOR OF
THIS BILL THEM RIGHT UP YOUR.
WELCOME YOU HAVE THE FLOOR.
CHAIRMAN COMMITTEE MEMBERS MY
NAME IS CRAIG PAGE WITH
CALIFORNIA LAND TITLE
ASSOCIATION. BUT WE'RE CURRENTLY
IN OPPOSITION TO THE ACCLAMATION.
PROVISION THE BILL WERE
CONCERNED THAT A TITLE INSURANCE
INDUSTRIES SERVERS CAN COOK
CUSTOMERS THROUGHOUT THE THE.
THE STATE UP IN ALL FIFTY EIGHT
COUNTIES AND WE HAVE.
I NUMBER OF HORROR STORIES
ASSOCIATE WITH HOMEOWNERS
ASSOCIATIONS IN WHICH
PEOPLE FEEL DISENFRANCHISED.
AND THERE'S A NUMBER OF
CONFLICTS THAT WE SEE.
RESIDING.
RIGHT A RESULTING FROM.
THE WAY THAT SOME OF THE.
.
BUT WE THINK THE A
DISENFRANCHISEMENT LOSES BIZ
PUSHING CONSUMERS OUT FOR THEIR
DAY DON'T LIKE TO HAVE AN
INABILITY TO VOTE.
WE THINK ANY THEN THE RUNS
CONTRARY.
PROMOTING PEOPLE TO GET
INVOLVED IN GIVING THE BOARD TO
REACH OUT THE PEOPLE. WHO HAVE A
NEGATIVE AND THE IMPACT? THAT
SHOULD HAVE OF THE THE THE ROAD
THE VOTES WITHIN THE EIGHT SHOWS
THAT IN EACH AWAY AS ARE JUST AS
IMPORTANT AS ANYWHERE ELSE AND
PACKED IN MANY CASES WE MORE SO.
IT'LL AFFECT YOUR RIGHT COMMON
AREAS
PARK HOW YOU.
ANYTHING YOU DO WITHIN THEIR.
ASSOCIATION.
AND SO WE THINK THAT.
ANYTHING THAT WILL IN ANY WAY
DILUTE THE ABILITY FOR PEOPLE TO
VOTE IN THAT AS A NEGATIVE THING.
WE THINK ELECTIONS SHOULD GO THE
OTHER WAY AND MAYBE BE.
URGING BOARDS TING MORE ACTIVE
IN GETTING PEOPLE GET INVOLVED
IN THEELECTIONS RATHER THAN HOW
MOVING TO THE AFFIRMATION
APPROACH.
SECOND SPEAKER PLEASE DON'T
THINK WELL HOW MY NAME IS TOM
SIR I'M ON THE LEGISLATIVE
COMMITTEE AT THE CENTER FOR
CALIFORNIA HOMEOWNERS
ASSOCIATION LAW.
I'D LIKE TO BEGIN BY POINTING
OUT THAT.
THIRD INCARNATION OF
POSTAL.
TO BE ABLE TO CANCEL ELECTIONS.
WHO WAS PRECEDED?
IN THE TWO YEARS AGO BY AB
SEVENTEEN NINETY NINE.
WHICH IS VOTED DOWN PARA AND
LAST YEAR HE CAME FORTH IN THE
FORM OF THE BEASTS FOURTEEN
TWENTY SIX AND AGAIN VOTED DOWN.
THE REASON THAT THE SENATE
CONTINUES TO OPPOSE.
PARTICULARLY THAT PROVISION ON.
CANCELLATION OF ELECTIONS ARE
WHAT'S CALLED AN ELECTION BY
ACCLAMATION. IS THAT.
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF A
HOMEOWNER ASSOCIATION HAS THE
POWER IT THIS TIME. TO SET
QUALIFICATIONS FOR WHO CAN RUN.
FOR BOARD AND ALSO WHO CAN VOTE.
AND WE HAVE SEEN QUITE A FEW
INSTANCES WHICH I WILL ELABORATE
OUT LATER WHEN WE TESTIFY ON
SARAH SENATE BILL TWELVE SIXTY.
THESE ABUSES SHOW THAT THERE'S
THIS PATTERN OF USING THESE
QUALIFICATIONS TO DISQUALIFY.
WHO WOULD BE CANDIDATES
WHO WANT TO RUN FOR THE BORDER?
AND THEN.
IF YOU ADD TO THAT ARSENAL THE
ABILITY TO CANCEL ELECTIONS WHEN
THERE ARE ENOUGH CANDIDATES.
THAT MAKES A BAD SITUATION WORSE
SO THAT'S THE REASON THAT WE
CONTINUE. TO OPPOSE THIS HALIMI
QUOTE JUST VERY BRIEFLY FROM THE.
ANALYSIS.
OF SEVENTEEN NINETY NINE.
THAT WAS DONE IN THE SENATE.
.
JUDICIARY COMMITTEE AND IT DOES
QUOTE OUR STATEMENT OR COULD YOU
WRAP IT UP PLEASE THAT I CAN'T.
AB SO UNITED AYE GIVES BOARDS A
LETHAL COMBINATION OF POWERS
THAT LETS INCUMBENT BOARDS
CANCEL ELECTIONS AFTER
SIDE THERE ENOUGH CANDIDATES.
I WOULD SOFT AND ALSO TO MEET
THE BOARD'S QUALIFICATIONS WERE
VOTING THIS COMBINATION OF
POWERS DISSING FRANCHISES VOTERS
AND VIOLATES HOMEOWNERS RIGHT TO
SELF GOVERNANCE.
THANK YOU BE ASPIRIN OVER.
THANK YOU OTHER PEOPLE OPPOSING
THIS MEASURE COME FORWARD.
I SEE NO END UP QUESTIONS.
A FROM THE COMMITTEE.
SARAH GOT CENTERS ARE DODD AND.
SATURDAY.
WHEN APPROPRIATE MOVE THE BILL
MISTER CHAIRMAN OKAY AS A MOTION
OKAY CENTER GAUGE OF COURSE.
CLARIFICATION ON THIS ISSUE.
OF FOR CANCELLATION OF ELECTIONS.
.
IF YOU COULD JUST RESPOND TO
THAT BECAUSE I. OR MAKE SURE
THAT IF THERE WAS A. A CANDIDATE
THAT WANTED TO RUN.
.
I WOULD THINK THERE BE AN OPEN
PROCESS.
TO RUN AS A CANDIDATE THERE BE
SOME SORT OF TIMELINE.
TO ANNOUNCE YOURSELF AS A
CANDIDATE.
SO IF YOU COULD PROVIDE CLARITY
THIS ONE MAKE SURE THAT THE
PROCESS WOULD BE OPEN AND THAT.
IF A CANDIDATE WON THE RUN THEY
HAVE THAT OPPORTUNITY. THIS BILL
DOES NOTHING TO INTERFERE WITH
THE RECRUITMENT OF CANDIDATES
FOR ABOARD THE SOLICITATION OF
INDIVIDUALS TO SERVICE DIRECTORS.
THE MORE THE MERRIER I THINK.
SENATOR BY CASKEY HAS A BILL
THAT WE WILL HAVE SHORTLY TO.
TO.
TO FIX ANY ISSUES ASSOCIATED
WITH THAT IN THESE ASSOCIATIONS
TO MAKE IT VERY CLEAR THAT WE
WANT. A FREE AND OPEN PROCESS
WERE ALL THOSE WHO WISH TO SERVE
CONSERVE AND THE REALITY IS IN
MANY CASES SO IT'S VERY
DIFFICULT TO GET PEOPLE WHO WANT
TO SERVE. AND SO WHAT THIS BILL
DOES IS ONCE THE NOMINATION
PROCESS IS CLOSED.
NO OTHER WORDS ANYBODY WHO WANTS
TO SERVE.
GETS THEIR NAME MEN WANTS THAT
NOMINATION PROCESS IS CLOSED NOW
THEN IF THE NUMBER OF CAN AS
NOTHING TO DO WITH THE
QUALIFICATIONS OF DIRECTORS OR
WHO CAN VOTE FOR DIRECTORS THOSE
A RATHER ISSUES. AND FRANKLY
SUBJECT TO OTHER CHALLENGES.
ATTORNEYS FOR ASSOCIATIONS CAN
FILE.
ACTIONS UP TO MY UNDERSTANDING
IS IN RECOLLECTION UP TO A YEAR
TO CHALLENGE THE QUALIFICATIONS
OF DIRECTORS OR THE
DETERMINATION WITH REGARD THE
QUALIFICATIONS OF A DIRECTOR OR
FOR OUR DIRECT ORDERS. BY AN
INSPECTOR OF ELECTIONS AFTER ALL
THAT PROCESS IS DONE THE
NOMINATIONS ARE CLOSE IF THE
NUMBER OF CANDIDATES. EQUALS OR
IS LESS THAN THE NUMBER OF
VACANCIES THEN THE IN THE
DIRECTORS MAY BE SEATED BY
ACCLAMATION.
THAT'S ALL THE BUILDUP CENTER
VERY WELL THANK YOU.
BIG DUMB OTHER QUESTIONS.

SP TWENTY NINE NODDED
TWENTY SEVEN EIGHT TWENTY NINE.
FARM WORKER HOUSING.
WHILE MAINTAINING STRONG.
WORKER PROTECTIONS BY THE
STATE'S HOUSING SHORTAGE SIDE
ISN'T.
AN URBAN PROBLEM. SIDE EFFECTS
RURAL AREAS PARTICULARLY THOSE
AYE THAT DEPENDS ON AGRICULTURE.
AYE THERE'S A SIGNIFICANT
SHORTAGE OF STABLE SECURE AND
AFFORDABLE HOUSING FOR
FARMWORKERS AND THEIR FAMILIES
RESIDING IN CALIFORNIA.
IN SITUATIONS WHERE AGRICULTURAL
EMPLOYEES EMPLOYERS WOULD LIKE
TO PRIVATELY FINANCE NEW
AFFORDABLE HOUSING OFFER THEIR
EMPLOYEES LOCAL APPROVAL PROCESS
USE I AT TIMES GETS IN THE WAY.
AND THESE PROJECTS DON'T HAPPEN.
WE HAVE.
FARM WORKERS. WHO WERE LIVING
IN THEIR CARS WHO WERE LIVING IN
MOTELS HOURS AWAY FROM WHERE
THEY WORK?
AND OF COURSE THESE WORKERS ARE
CRITICAL PART OF OUR ECONOMY.
FARMERS AND FARM WORKERS ARE
THE KEYSTONE OF OUR LARGER FOOD
SECTOR HERE IN CALIFORNIA. I'D
INCLUDES INDUSTRIES ARE THE
PROVIDE FARMERS WITH FERTILIZERS
AND EQUIPMENT.
FARMS SUPPORT HIS CROPS AND
LIVESTOCK AND THE INDUSTRY IS A
PROCESS TRANSPORTING DISTRIBUTE
FOOD TO CONSUMERS. UP FARM
WORKER HOUSEHOLDS ARE OFTEN
COMPOUND COMPRISED OF EXTENDED
FAMILY MEMBERS AND AS A RESULT
MANY FORMER HOUSEHOLDS TEND TO
HAVE DIFFICULTIES. SECURING SAFE
DECENT AFFORDABLE HOUSING.
FAR TOO OFTEN OFF FARMWORKERS
ARE FORCED TO OCCUPY SUBSTANDARD
HOMES WERE LIVING OVER CROWDED
SITUATIONS.
WE SEE HIGHER RATES OF POVERTY
ASIDE LIVING DISPROPORTIONATELY
AND HOUSING THAT'S IN VERY POOR
CONDITION.
OVERCROWDING AND LOW HOME
OWNERSHIP RATES ON MANY FARMS
HAVE SURPLUS LAND BUT THAT IS
NOT A FORMAL DEFENSE A WORD. OF
IT THAT COULD BE USED TO BUILD
SAFE AND SECURE HOUSING.
FOR FARMWORKERS.
BUT THE LAND NEEDS TO BE
REZONED.
UNFORTUNATELY THIS IS OFTEN
DIFFICULT OR IMPOSSIBLE TO
ACHIEVE.
SP TWENTY NINE EXPANDS AN
EXISTING STATE PROCESS WERE FARM
OWNERS AND OPERATORS CAN
DEDICATE AGRICULTURAL LAND PER
EMPLOYEE HOUSING. CURRENTLY OF
EMPLOYEE HOUSING ACT LIMITS THE
NUMBER OF UNITS FROM PLOY
HOUSING STREAMLINED THROUGH THE
PROGRAM. OUGHT TO TWELVE UNITS
PER PROJECT BUT THERE IS NO
PATHWAY FOR AN AGRICULTURAL
OPERATOR TO BUILD AFFORDABLE
EMPLOYEE HOUSING THROUGH THIS
PROGRAM IN EXCESS OF TWELVE
UNITS PER PROJECT.
THAT'S THE TWENTY NINE WOULD DO
FEW THINGS ON THE CREATES A
NEW EMPLOYEE HOUSING PATHWAY FOR
PROJECTS LARGER THAN TWELVE
UNITS. THESE PROJECTS MAY BE
APPROVED ON LAND DESIGNATED FOR
AGRICULTURAL USE WITHOUT DELAY
IF THEY MEET OBJECTIVE HEALTH
AND SAFETY CRITERIA AND ARE

BRING UP S. B. EIGHT TWENTY
SEVEN.
SO EVEN EASIER NOT.
TOM.
BY CALLING SIDE. CALIFORNIA. IS
IN A DEEP HOUSING CRISIS.
WITH A HOUSING DEFICIT
APPROACHING UP FOUR MILLION
HOMES.
TEXAS WEEK A NEW NATIONAL
STUDIES CAN NOW.
YESTERDAY IN FACT.
SHOWING THAT THE U. S. AS A
WHOLE HAS A HOUSING DEFICIT. OF
SEVEN POINT THREE MILLION HOMES.
A FULL FIFTY PERCENT OF AYE
DEFICIT REAP POINT SIX MILLION
HOMES. IS IN CALIFORNIA. WERE
ABOUT FIFTEEN PERCENT OF THE
POPULATION BUT WE HAVE HALF OF
THE HOUSING DEFICIT.
BUT IT ON ONE LEVEL IT'S
STARTLING. BOB BOOK FOR THOSE
WHO WERE LIVING AND IT'S NOT
SURPRISING AT ALL.
CALIFORNIA'S HOUSING SHORTAGE
FOR ENERGY THREATENS OUR STATE'S
ENVIRONMENT OUR ECONOMY OUR
DIVERSITY. AND OUR QUALITY OF
LIFE.
IT PUSHES FAMILIES WHO ARE
WEALTHY OUT OF THEIR COMMUNITIES
AND SOMETIMES OUT OF THE STATE
ENTIRELY.
IT SPIKES EVICTIONS AND PLAYED
AND DISPLACEMENT.
IT PUSHES POOR PEOPLE IN THE
HOMELESSNESS WEN THE AVERAGE
RENT FOR EXAMPLE AND THAT'S OUR
ROW IN SAN FRANCISCO IS PUSHING
FIFTEEN HUNDRED DOLLARS. A MONTH.
IT PUSHES PEOPLE IN THE CRUSHING
COMMUTES SINCE THERE IS SIMPLY
NO WHERE THAT THEY CAN AFFORD TO
LIVE.
ANYWHERE NEAR WHERE THEY WORK.
THAT LEADS TO GRIDLOCK HONOR
FREEWAYS INCREASE CARBON
EMISSIONS AND IT'S TERRIBLE FOR
FAMILIES WHEN YOU HAVE PEOPLE
COMMUTING TO THREE HOURS EVERY
DAY. WE'RE GETTING HOME AT NINE
O'CLOCK AT NIGHT.
I IT UNDERMINES OUR ECONOMY AS
EMPLOYERS ARE HESITANT TO EXPAND
IF THEY THINK THAT THEIR WORKERS
WON'T FIND A PLACE TO LIVE IT'S
JUST NOT SUSTAINABLE.
BUT STATUS QUO ISN'T WORKING.
THEN WE NEED TO DO THINGS
DIFFERENTLY.
WE NEED AN ENORMOUS AMOUNT OF
NEW HOUSING. AT ALL INCOME
LEVELS.
THAT MEANS MASSIVE INVESTMENT IN
SUBSIDIZED HOUSING FOR LOWER
INCOME PEOPLE INCLUDING OUR
POOREST RESIDENTS.
AND IT OVERALL SIGNIFICANT
INCREASE IN HOUSING SUPPLY FOR
OUR MIDDLE CLASS.
BOB WE NEED.
TO PROTECT TENANTS AND KEEP
PEOPLE IN THE HOMES THAT THEY
HAVE. IT IS IN ALL OF THE ABOVE
APPROACH AND SOMETIMES ON
HOUSING THE BATES. PEOPLE WANT
ONE BUT NOT THE OTHER IT IS IN
ALL OF THE ABOVE.
S. B. EIGHT TWENTY SEVEN HELPS
TO CHANGE
BUT STATUS QUO IN CALIFORNIA.
IN CALIFORNIA FOR DECADES NOW
WE'VE MADE A CONSCIOUS DECISION
BUT HAVING ENOUGH HOUSING SIMPLY
DOESN'T MATTER. AND WE'VE DONE
THAT THROUGH A POLICY CHOICES BY
MAKING IT HARDER AND HARDER TO
GET NEW HOUSING. BY HAVING
EXTREME LOW DENSITY ZONING EVEN
YOUR PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION.
ADVICE BY JUST NOT HAVING
ENOUGH HOUSING A MAKING IT
ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO GET THE
HOUSING THAT WE NEED.
THIS BILL ADDRESSES CALIFORNIA'S
MASSIVE HOUSING SHORTAGE IN A
MEANINGFUL WAY. BY ALLOWING MORE
HOUSING NEAR PUBLIC
TRANSPORTATION.
EXACTLY WHERE IT SHOULD BE.
TO ALLOW SMALL APARTMENT
BUILDINGS NEAR TRANSIT WITHIN
AFFORDABILITY REQUIREMENTS WITH
DEMOLITION RESTRICTIONS AND WITH
TEN AND PROTECTIONS ALL OF WHICH
ARE IN THIS BILL.
BILL.
AND THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF TALK
ABOUT HIGH RISES ONE
PARTICULARLY HYPERBOLIC
STATEMENT BY A MEMBER OF THE LOS
ANGELES CITY COUNCIL. SAID THAT
THIS BILL WOULD TURN LOS ANGELES
INTO DUBAI.
BUT OF COURSE IS NOT TRUE WE ARE
TALKING ABOUT FOUR AND FIVE
STORY SMALL APARTMENT BUILDINGS.
THE KIND THAT WE USE TO BUILD
QUITE A BIT OF IN PLACES LIKE
SAN FRANCISCO AND LOS ANGELES.
BUT GOT BANDS IN MANY PLACES.
WHEN WE DALY ZONES MANY OF OUR
CITIES IN THE SEVENTIES AND THE
EIGHTIES.
THAT'S SPEED IT TOO SEVEN OVER
TIME WILL LEAD TO HOUSING THAT
IS MORE AFFORDABLE SUSTAINABLE.
AND EQUITABLE.
CURRENTLY MANY TRANSIT HUBS ARE
SURROUNDED BY HYPER LOW DENSITY
ZONING.
THIS IS TRUE AND MY CITY OF SAN
FRANCISCO. WHERE WE HAVE SUBWAYS
BETTER COMPLETELY SURROUNDED BY
SIX SINGLE FAMILY HOMES IT'S
TRUE BART STATIONS CALTRAIN
STATIONS LA METRO STATIONS? AND
SO FORTH.
BY RESTRICTING THE AMOUNT OF
HOUSING.
AROUND PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION
WHAT WE'RE SAYING IS THAT WE
DON'T ONE VERY MANY PEOPLE TO
LIVE NEAR TRANSIT.
THIS PUSHES PEOPLE AWAY FROM
TRANSIT AND MAKES HOUSING LESS
AFFORDABLE IT EXACERBATES
GRIDLOCK AND UNDERMINES OUR
CLIMATE GOALS.
BUT WE KNOW THAT.
THERE IS A HISTORY WITH THIS
KIND OF ZONING IT'S CALLED
EXCLUSIONARY ZONING. THERE WAS A
BOOK RECENTLY PUBLISHED COLOR OF
LAW BY RICHARD ROTH MEN TALKING
ABOUT THIS HISTORY AND RICHARD
ROSAMOND IS AMONG.
THE ACADEMICS WHO HAVE ENDORSED
SP IT TO SEVEN.
IT IS SELF DEFEATING TO BAN
APARTMENT BUILDINGS HERE PUBLIC
TRANSIT AND THAT'S WHAT THIS
BILL REMEDY.
LOCAL CONTROL OVER HOUSING IS
IMPORTANT.
BUT IT'S NOT BIBLICAL.
I'M A FORMER LOCAL ELECTED
OFFICIAL AND I BELIEVE IN LOCAL
CONTROL AND MANY CONTACTS.
LOCAL CONTROL IS A MEANS TO
ACHIEVE POSITIVE OUTCOMES.
AND WHEN LOCAL CONTROL ISN'T
PRODUCING GOOD OUTCOMES WE NEED
TO REEVALUATE THAT BALANCE.
THEY MANY CONTEXTS WE BALANCE
STATE AND LOCAL CONTROL WHETHER
ON EDUCATION OR HEALTHCARE.
WE WOULD NEVER SAY THE PUBLIC
EDUCATION BUT THE STATE SHOULD
HAVE NO ROLE IT DIED IS WHAT WE
HAVE EFFECTIVELY DONE ON HOUSING.
FOR MANY YEARS AND I STARTED THE
CHANGE IN THE LAST FEW YEARS WE
HAVE EFFECTIVELY SAID TO LOCAL
COMMUNITIES YOU CAN DO WHATEVER
YOU WANT ON HOUSING. YOU CAN OPT
OUT ENTIRELY YOU CAN MAKE IT
IMPOSSIBLE TO VOTE HOUSING
THAT'S YOUR CHOICE.
FIVE ZERO STATE ROLE.
SOME HAVE ASSERTED THAT A SPEEDY
TWENTY SEVEN WIPES AWAY ALL
LOCAL CONTROL AND THAT IS
COMPLETELY UNTRUE.
S. B. TWENTY SEVEN RETAIN
SIGNIFICANT LOCAL CONTROL WHILE
SETTING BASELINE DENSITY
STANDARDS HERE TRANSIT.
S. B. TWENTY SEVEN DOES NOT
TOUCH THE LOCAL APPROVAL PROCESS
FOR INDIVIDUAL PROJECTS
CONDITIONAL USE SEQUEL THAT WILL
REMAIN. IT DOES NOT CHANGE
DESIGN STANDARDS.
IT DOES NOT CHANGE LOCAL
DEMOLITION CONTROLS EXCEPT TO
SOMETIMES MAKE THEM STRICTER.
IT DOES NOT OVERRIDE LOCAL
INCLUSIONARY LOCAL INCLUSIONARY
WILL APPLY. IT DOES NOT CHANGE
LOCAL IMPACT FEES FOR SEWERS ARE
TRANSIT PARKS AND SCHOOLS THOSE
OR REMAIN.
IT DOES NOT CHANGE WHETHER A
PARCEL IS ZONED RESIDENTIAL IN
THE FIRST PLACE AT SPEED TWENTY
SEVEN ONLY APPLIES IF THE CITY
HAS ON THE PARCEL RESIDENTIAL.
S. B. TWENTY SEVEN SIMPLY SUCH A
NEW BALANCE AROUND ONE ASPECT.
DENSITY AROUND PUBLIC
TRANSPORTATION. IT IS NOT
ACCEPTABLE.
TO INVESTED HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS
OR BILLIONS OF DOLLARS ON TRACK
PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS.
AND THEN ALLOW ONLY A SMALL
NUMBER OF PEOPLE TO LIVE NEARBY.
AND AS WE AYE THOSE THREE POINT
SIX MILLION HOMES THAT ARE
HOUSING DEFICIT.
BUT WE DON'T WANT TO CONTINUE TO
WE'VE ALWAYS TIME TO COVER UP
FARMLAND AND OPEN SPACE AND
CISCO AL AND ALLAH ANNOUNCED
THAT IS NOT SUSTAINABLE. WE NEED
TO OUTSIDE THOSE HOMES NEAR
PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION IN OUR JOB
CENTERS AND YET CURRENT ZONING
OFTEN MAKE SIDE IMPOSSIBLE.
ON EXPEDIA TWENTY SEVEN PROMOTES
EXACTLY THE KIND OF HOUSING THAT
WE NEED. ON IT APPLIES.
WITHIN A HALF A MILE.
OF A.
SUBWAY OR LIGHT RAIL FIXED RAIL
STOPPED RA QUARTER MILE OF A
HIGH FREQUENCY BUS STOP.
AND WE HAVE REDEFINED DIVE
DEFINITION OF HIGH FREQUENCY BUS
STOP AND SCALED BACK
SIGNIFICANTLY SO HOUSE TO RUN
REGULARLY. FROM SIX AM UNTIL TEN
PM.
I DURING THE WEEK.
AND FROM EIGHT AM TO TEN PM ON
THE WEEKEND GOOD SERVICE DAY AND
NIGHT.
SEVEN DAYS A WEEK.
THE MATTER THERE IS REQUIRES OR
PROHIBITS CITIES FROM PUSHING
MAXIMUM HEIGHTS BELOW EITHER
FORTY FIVE OR FIFTY FIVE FEE.
DEPENDING ON THE CIRCUMSTANCES
AYE WE AMENDED THE BILL TO
REMOVE THE EIGHTY FIVE A
CATEGORY BECAUSE THAT WAS
CAUSING SIGNIFICANT CONCERN.
AND THROUGHOUT THIS PROCESS
COLLEAGUES I WE HAVE LISTENED TO
FEEDBACK BOTH FROM SUPPORTERS
AND FROM PEOPLE WHO ABSOLUTELY
HATE THE BILL.
I HAVE MET WITH SUPPORTERS I AM
NOT WITH OPPONENTS I READ
EVERYTHING THAT A SON TO ME AND
WE'VE INCORPORATED FEEDBACK INTO
THIS BILL INCLUDING FROM PEOPLE
WHO ARE FIGHTING THE BILL. GOOD
IDEAS ARE GOOD IDEAS NO MATTER
WHO THEY COME FROM.
THIS S. B. EIGHT TWENTY SEVEN
CONTAINS SOME OF THE STRONGEST
ANTI DISPLACEMENT RULES THAT
WILL EVER BE THAT HAVE EVER BEEN
ADOPTED IN STATE LAW.
IT PLACES A BAN ON DEMOLISHING
RENT CONTROLLED HOMES A BLANKET
BAN UNLESS IS CITY COUNCIL
AFFIRMATIVELY PASSES AN
ORDINANCE. ALLOWING.
IT BANS DEMOLITIONS IF THERE'S
BEEN ALOT SOCKED EVICTION ON THE
PROPERTY AND THE LAST FIVE YEARS.
IT CREATES TENANT PROTECTIONS
WITH A RATE OF RETURN SO IF
SOMEONE IT'S DISPLACING THE
DEVELOPER HAS TO PAY FOR UP TO
THREE AND A HALF YEARS TO PUT
THEM UP SOMEWHERE ELSE.
SOMEWHERE NEARBY A COMPARABLE
UNIT SO THEY'RE NOT PAYING ANY
MORE AND THEY HAVE A RIGHT TO
RETURN TO COMPARABLE YOU TO IN
THE NEW BUILDING. AT THE SAME
RUN.
I S. B. TWENTY SEVEN PROJECTS
HAVE BEEN AFFORDABILITY
REQUIREMENT WE IMPORTED. IT'S
THE AFORDABLE HOUSING DENSITY
BONUS AND TO THE BILL.
DEPENDING ON THE SIZE OF THE
PROJECT.
AND THIS WILL LEAD TO A
SIGNIFICANT INCREASE. AND
AFFORDABLE UNITS BECAUSE WE WILL
NOW BE BUILDING MORE APARTMENT
BUILDINGS THAT WILL BE THE
SUBJECT TO LOCAL INCLUSIONARY OR
IF THERE IS LOCAL INCLUDES NO
LOCAL INCLUSIONARY.
TO THE STATE AND CITY BONUS
THIS'LL LEAD TO A SIGNIFICANT
INCREASE IN BELOW MARKET RATE
UNITS.
BUT TALK ABOUT DISPLACEMENT.
IT'S A HUGE PROBLEM AND IT'S A
HUGE PROBLEM IN CALIFORNIA
DURING A PERIOD WHERE WE HAVEN'T
BUILT VERY MUCH HOUSING.
BUILDING NEW HOUSING IF IT'S
DONE RIGHT DOES NOT CAUSE
DISPLACEMENT IT'S A FAILURE TO
BUILD NEW HOUSING. BECAUSE IT'S
DISPLACEMENT AND THE PROOF IS IN
THE PUDDING AND.
THE CENTER EXPERIENCING SEVERE
DISPLACEMENT.
DURING PERIODS WHEN NOT MUCH
HOUSING I WAS BUILT.
WE HAVE A BROAD COALITION
SUPPORTING THIS BILL.
AND I'M WE HAVE AFFORDABLE
HOUSING ORGANIZATIONS AND YOU
WILL HEAR.
FROM ONE OF THEM.
DE NONPROFIT HOUSING
ASSOCIATION IN NORTHERN
CALIFORNIA BY SILICON VALLEY AT
HOME HABITAT FOR HUMANITY BRIDGE
HOUSING.
AND I'LL QUOTE FROM THE.
AND FROM THE AND TEACH LETTER
MPA SUPPORTS STD TWENTY SEVEN AS
A MATTER OF PRINCIPLE AND THAT
IT WILL BE A MAJOR TOOL TO CUT
COMBAT. RESTRICTIVE EXCLUSIONARY
ZONING THAT'S CONTRIBUTED TO THE
BAY AREA IS IN CALIFORNIA'S
CONCENTRATION OF WEALTH
AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THE FEW. TO
THE DETRIMENT OF THE MANY.
WITH SUPPORT FROM THE
ENVIRONMENTAL COMMUNITY
INCLUDING AT RDC ENVIRONMENT
CALIFORNIA CLIMATE RESULT. QUOTE
THE SHORTAGE OF AFFORDABLE
HOUSING IN CALIFORNIA ITS
DECADES IN THE MAKING.
A FAILURE TO MAXIMIZE TRANSIT
OPPORTUNITIES AND TO ALLOW
ADEQUATE HOUSING INCLUDING
AFFORDABLE HOUSING. NEAR THOSE
TRANSPORTATION CENTERS HAS
CONTRIBUTED TO DISPLACEMENT
LONGER COMMUTES MORE VEHICLE
MILES TRAVELED INCREASE
GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS LOSS OF
OPEN SPACE AND WORSENING URBAN
SPRAWL.
S. B. TWENTY SEVEN REPRESENTS
THE SCALE OF ACTION NECESSARY TO
MEANINGFULLY ADDRESS THE
AFFORDABLE HOUSING ENVIRONMENT
CRISIS. RECEIVED A LETTER FROM
SEVENTEEN SCHOLARS OF FAIR
HOUSING IN SEPARATE SCHOLARS
INCLUDING A RICHARD ROTHSTEIN A.
BIT SPEAK TWENTY SEVEN QUOTE IS
A SIGNIFICANT AND LAUDABLE
EFFORT TO ATTACK THE PROBLEM OF
RACIAL AND ECONOMIC SEGREATION
BOTH DIRECTLY AND INDIRECTLY.
IT'S A QUOTE MAJOR STEP TOWARDS.
PROMOTING INTEGRATION AND
REDUCING RACIAL RESIDENTIAL
SEGREGATION.
FROM A LETTER FROM URBAN
PLANNING EXPERTS.
BY AYE IT'S ALWAYS BEEN WITHIN
THE POWER FOOD OF LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS TO ALLEVIATE THIS
CRISIS BUT THEY HAVE
CONSISTENTLY FAILED TO ACT OUR
HOUSING CRISIS IS A PREVENTABLE.
AND SELF INFLICTED CATASTROPHE.
AND FROM BUSINESS LEADERS OF
RECEIVE THE LETTER FROM A
HUNDRED AND TWENTY CDOS TELLING
US THAT.
BUT SUPPORT SB TWENTY SEVEN AND
THAT THE STATUS QUO IS HARMING
CALIFORNIA'S ECONOMY.
BOB I WANT TO.
SINCE A KNOWLEDGE.
CLEARLY THERE'S A LOT OF SUPPORT
FOR THIS BILL AND THERE IS A LOT
OF OPPOSITION.
TALK TO THE OPPONENTS AYE I HAVE.
I HEAR YOU.
I HAVE BEEN LISTENING AND
READING OF WHAT YOU SAY WHAT YOU
WRITE.
THERE ARE TIMES WHEN I DISAGREE
THERE ARE TIMES WHEN I'VE AGREED
AND WE'VE INCORPORATED SOME OF
THAT FEEDBACK INTO THE BILL.
REASONABLE MINDS CAN DIFFER ON
MANY DIFFERENT HOUSING ISSUES.
WE'VE LISTENED AND TAKEN
AMENDMENTS AROUND AFFORDABILITY
AND TO DISPLAY SOME MEASURES
ELIMINATING EIGHTY FIVE FEET.
WE'VE ALSO ELIMINATED HIGHLY
INCREASES AROUND BUSES BEHIND
INCREASES WILL KICK IN ONLY
AROUND A FIX RAIL.
A STRICTER DEFINITION OF WHAT
QUALIFIES AS HIGH FREQUENCY BUT
STOP.
WE MADE A CLARIFYING AMENDMENT
TO MAKE VERY CLEAR THAT THE BILL
DOES NOT AFFECT LOCAL SEQUEL. OR
CONDITIONAL USE.
TOP PROCESSES AND WE PUT A DELAY
IN IMPLEMENTATION IN TO THE BILL
OF TWO YEARS AND POTENTIALLY
THREE YEARS TO GIVE LOCAL
COMMUNITIES TIME. TO PREPARE.
WE WILL CONTINUE TO WORK WITH
BOTH SUPPORTERS AND OPPONENTS OF
THE BILL.
WE WANT THIS TO BE A GROUP
EFFORT WE WANT THIS TO BE A BIG
TEN. A AND I LOOK FORWARD TO
THAT COLLABORATION.
BUT COLLEAGUES I KNOW BUT THIS
BILL IS CONTROVERSIAL.
I IT IT'S TRIGGERED A LONG
OVERDUE STATEWIDE TO BE.
PRECISELY BECAUSE. IT DOES
SOMETHING.
BUT WHAT IMPACT CALIFORNIA.
POSITIVELY BECAUSE HOUSING
MATTERS THAT'S WHY IT'S
GENERATED THIS DEBATE. AT SPEED
TWENTY SEVEN WILL MAKE A
DIFFERENCE FOR A STATE. IT WILL
NOT HAVE THE CATASTROPHIC AN
APOCALYPTIC ATTACKS BUT SOME
OPPONENTS ARE ASSERTING. BUT IT
WILL MOVE US IN A POSITIVE
DIRECTION IT WILL HELP US WITH
THIS HOUSING MASS THAT WE ARE
FACING TODAY.
AND I RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR
AYE VOTE. BUT WITH ME TODAY IS
WITNESSES ARE MICHAEL MAIN.
FROM THE NONPROFIT HOUSING
ASSOCIATION OF NORTHERN
CALIFORNIA AN UMBRELLA
ORGANIZATION FOR MANY AFFORDABLE
HOUSING ORGANIZATIONS. AND PLUS
SEPARATE FROM THE SILICON VALLEY
LEADERSHIP GROUP THANK YOU.
WELCOME SPEAKERS FAVOR PLEASE.
TURN BILL MEMBERS THOUGHT
SENATOR WINNERS TAKEN AMENDMENTS
HAVE SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCED THE
SCOPE AND REACH OF THIS BILL.
AND IT MOVED TO ADDRESS CONCERNS
AROUND INCLUSIONARY HOUSING
REQUIREMENTS AND DISPLACEMENT
AND THOSE AMENDMENTS HELP TO
DRAW OUR SUPPORT.
SENATOR WINNER HAS ACKNOWLEDGED
THIS BILL IS A WORK IN PROGRESS
AND WE BELIEVE IT SHOULD BE
SUPPORTED TODAY SO WE CAN
CONTINUE TO WORK WITH THEM IN
GOOD FAITH TO CONTINUE TO REFINE
AND IMPROVE THE BILL WE MAKE OUR
COMMITMENT.
TO YOU TO CONTINUE TO DO THAT.
WE ARE STILL PRODUCING HOUSING
IN THE STATE AT HISTORICALLY LOW
LEVELS AND THE SCARCITY OF
PROPERLY ZONED MULTI FAMILY
HOUSING SITES IS A MAJOR PROBLEM.
S. B. EIGHT TWENTY SEVEN WELL
UNLOCK THOUSANDS A NEW MULTI
FAMILY PARCELS NEAR TRANSIT. FOR
MARKET RATE HOUSING WITH AN
INCLUSIONARY COMPONENT BUT ALSO
FOR A HUNDRED PERCENT AFFORDABLE
DEVELOPMENTS IN PRECISELY THE
LOCATIONS PRIORITIZED BUT THE
STRATEGIC GROWTH COUNCIL.
AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND
SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITIES PROGRAM
WHICH IS FUNDED BY CAP AND TRADE
RESOURCES.
AND BY THE CALIFORNIA TAX CREDIT
ALLOCATION PROGRAM THIS IS THE
RIGHT POLICY THAT'S ALREADY
EMBEDDED. IN THE FINANCING
SYSTEMS THAT THE STATE HAS BEEN
BROUGHT FORTH FOR AFFORDABLE
HOUSING. WE URGE YOUR AYE VOTE
TODAY TO ALLOW US TO CONTINUE TO
MOVE FORWARD AND REFINE THIS
BILL A THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

AS IN TEN.
STEEN
THE SILICON VALLEY HAD A NEW JOB
GROWTH AT TWENTY NINE PERCENT
AND WHILE ONLY HAVING NEW
HOUSING GROWTH OF FOUR PERCENT.
ARE LACK OF HOUSING DEEPLY
THREATENS OUR INNOVATION ECONOMY.
IN TWO THOUSAND SIXTEEN WE SAW
OUR REGION.
IN OUR REGION WE SAW MORE NET
FOLKS LEAVING THE SILICON VALLEY
RATHER THAN COMING. THE NEXT
FIFTY RESIDENTS EACH MONTH
LEAVING IS A SHARP REVERSAL OF
MIGRATION OF NEARLY TWO THOUSAND
NEW REST.
THE PREVIOUS YEAR.
COLLECTIVELY LEADERSHIP GROUP
MEMBERS PROVIDE NEARLY ONE OUT
OF EVERY THREE PRIVATE SECTOR
JOBS IN SILICON VALLEY. AND
EVERY CONVERSATION WE'VE HAD
WITH OUR
EXECUTIVES WE HEAR.
ABOUT WORKFORCE RECRUITMENT AND
RETENTION AS OUR NUMBER ONE
THREAT TO OUR ECONOMY.
OUR COMPANIES ARE STRUGGLING TO
ATTRACT AND KEEP EMPLOYEES AT
ALL LEVELS BECAUSE OF THAT COST
OF HOUSING.
WE NEED TO CONSTRUCT MORE HOMES
FOR ALL CALIFORNIANS SO THAT OUR
REGION ARE WORKERS SOONER AND
THEIR FAMILIES CAN PROSPER AND
THRIVE.
S. B. EIGHT TWENTY SEVEN
REPRESENTS THE SMART GROWTH THAT
WE NEED IN OUR COMMUNITIES
HIGHER DENSITY NEAR PUBLIC

GOOD AFTERNOON MISTER CHAIRMAN
REYES ON A LAWLER ON BEHALF OF
THE WESTERN SURINAME POVERTY AND
THE CALIFORNIA RURAL LEGAL
ASSISTANCE FOUNDATION.
ON BEHALF OF MY ORGANIZATION AND
THE MANY.
EQUITY SOCIAL JUSTICE AND
AFFORDABLE HOUSING ORGANIZATIONS
HAVE DEEP CONCERNS
THIS BILL LET ME START BY SAYING
THAT WE SUPPORT HIGH DENSITY
DEVELOPMENT AND HAVEN'T TALKED.
DECADES REMOVED THEIR TRADE
BARRIERS TO DENSITY AND AS FOR
THE ALL CITIES AND COUNTIES ARE
ZONES SUFFICIENTLY AND FROM
MULTI FAMILY HOUSING.
WE SUPPORT HIGHER DENSITY
DEVELOPMENT AROUND TRANSIT AND
WE SUPPORT SPENDING EXCLUSIONARY
ZONING PRACTICES THAT HAVE FOR
DECADES BEEN USED TO SHUT THE
DOOR ON LOW INCOME PEOPLE AND
PARTICULARLY PEOPLE OF COLOR. IN
SOME COMMUNITIES THROUGHOUT THE
STATE.
WE SUPPORT PRODUCING AN ADEQUATE
SUPPLY OF HOUSING AFFORDABLE TO
RANGE OF INCOMES AND BUILDING
EQUITABLE INCLUSIVE ECONOMICALLY
DIVERSE COMMUNITIES. HOWEVER WE
DON'T THINK THIS BILL IS THE
RIGHT APPROACH TO ACHIEVING
THOSE GOALS.
A POLICY THAT FAILS TO
ADEQUATELY PRESERVE EXISTING
SOURCES OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING
PROTECT LOWER INCOME COMMUNITIES
FROM DIRECT AND INDIRECT
DISPLACEMENT ENSURE THE
DEVELOPMENT OF NEW HOUSING
AFFORDABLE TO LOWER INCOME
HOUSEHOLDS IS NOT ONE THAT WE
CAN SUPPORT.
WE'RE VERY CONCERNED THAT STEEP
PLANNING MANDATES IF NOT
CAREFULLY CRAFTED CAN HAVE
SIGNIFICANT NEGATIVE IMPACTS.
ON EXISTING ON CAN COMMUNITIES
WE KNOW THAT THE GENTRIFYING
AFFECTED INCREASED DENSITIES CAN
TRIGGER DISPLACEMENT WE'VE SEEN
THIS PLAY OUT OVER AND OVER
AGAIN AND WE SHOULDN'T.
NEED TO REPEAT THE SAME MISTAKES
BUT RATHER LEARN FROM THEM AND
USE MODELS THAT HAVE BEEN PROVEN
TO WORK TO INCENTIVIZE
DEVELOPMENT AND EQUITABLE
INCLUSIVE WAY THAT IS SENSITIVE
TO LOCAL.
BUT INCREASING DENSITY IS ROUND
TRANSIT THIS BILL CONVEYS A
SIGNIFICANT VALUE.
JUSTIN LANDOWNERS
WE STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT IF THE
STATE'S GOING TO DO THAT IT
SHOULD DO SO IN A WAY THAT
ENSURES THAT THERE'S AN
APPROPRIATE AMOUNT OF PUBLIC
BENEFIT CAN BE IT IN RETURN.
WE DON'T BELIEVE THE
AFFORDABILITY PROVISIONS
CURRENTLY THIS BILL ACCOMPLISH
THAT FOR EXAMPLE IN MOST
INSTANCES A DEVELOPER WOULD BE
FREE TO DEVELOP HOUSING
AFFORDABLE ONLY TO THOSE AT A
HUNDRED TWENTY PERCENT A VERY
MEDIAN INCOME. WITHOUT PROVIDING
ANY HOUSING AFFORDABLE TO LOAN
VERY LOW INCOME FAMILIES FOR HIM
THE HOUSING SHORTAGE IS FAR MORE
ACUTE.
MOREOVER BY NOT REQUIRING
HOUSING FOR LOWER INCOME
HOUSEHOLDS WE EXCLUDE COURT
TRANSIT RIDERS FROM AN
OPPORTUNITY TO BENEFIT FROM
INCREASING HOUSING FIRE AND
TRANSIT INSTEAD POTENTIALLY PUSH
THAT HOUSEHOLDS FURTHER OUT.
FURTHER WE'VE URGED THE AUTHOR
TO PROTECT EXISTING LINE CAN
COMMUNITIES BY AT A MINIMUM
ADOPTING THE SAME DEMOLITION
PROTECTIONS HERE THAT ARE
INCLUDED A THREE THIRTY FIVE
THESE ARE NOT IN THE BILL AND
THE REPLACEMENT PROTECTIONS THAT
ARE IN THE BILL AT THIS TIME.
ESPECIALLY ABSENT RESOURCES FOR.
ENFORCEMENT AND MONITORING ARE
INSUFFICIENT AND NOT OF THE
AUTHOR SAYS THE STRONGEST THAT
HAVE EVER BEEN PUT INTO STATE
LAW EUROPE IN THE.
WELL THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF
RHETORIC ABOUT THIS BILL BEING
THE ANTIDOTE TO EXCLUSIONARY
ZONING THE REALITY IS THAT IT
APPEARS TO PLAY IN MORE LOWER
INCOME.
COME ONCE AND DOESN'T
IT'S ON THE MOST EXCLUSIVE AREAS
OF THE STATE.
THIS BILL DOESN'T GO INTO FULL
EFFECT UNTIL TWENTY TWENTY ONE
IF WE CAN WITHOUT LONG WOULD IT
MAKE MORE SENSE TO PUT THE BILL
ON HOLD DOWN PUT THAT TIME TO
COMING UP WITH A MORE WORKABLE
APPROACH NEXT YEAR. THEIR LOT OF
SHARED GOALS HERE THIS IS NOT A
SIMPLE IS YOU EITHER SUPPORT
THIS BILL OR YOU DON'T CARE
ABOUT ADDRESSING HOUSING CRISIS
IT'S ABOUT GETTING A MAJOR
POLICY CHANGE RIGHT.
WE NEED BOLD ACTION BUT WE
THOUGHT SELECTION TWO. WERE OPEN
AND READY FOR OUR CONVERSATION
FOR ALL THE REASONS STATED WE
MARIN OPPOSED AND LET'S AMENDED
AND WE ARE TO KNOW ABOUT. OTHERS
SPEAKERS OPPOSING MR MEMBERS AS
ARE THE OTHER BEHALF THE STATE
BUILDING AND CONSTRUCTION TRADES
COUNCIL BY ECHO. LOT OF WHAT UP
ON LAWLER SAID BUT WE DO SUPPORT
A TRANSIT ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT
WITH THINK IT'S THE RIGHT WAY
SPECIAL WITH THE HOUSING CRISIS
WE SUE VERY SUPPORTIVE OF THAT.
.
YOU NUYS HOUSING COSTS CONTINUE
TO RISE IT MAKES PERFECT SENSE
TO ADDRESS POLICIES THAT PROMOTE
MAKES USE AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND
WALKABLE NEIGHBORHOODS ADJACENT
TO FREQUENT AND EFFICIENT
TRANSPORTATION.
OUR MEMBERS ARE AFFECTED IN
EVERY WAY BY THIS BILL.
BOTH ON THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING
SIDE IN ACTUAL CONSTRUCTION
OPPORTUNITIES.
HOWEVER S. B. A TWENTY SEVEN
DOES NOT ADEQUATELY ADDRESS
IMPORTANT ISSUES SUCH AS
INCLUSIONARY HOUSING
DISPLACEMENT AN IMPORTANT LABOR
PROTECTIONS FOR CONSTRUCTION
WORKERS.
S. B. EIGHT TWENTY SEVEN AIMS TO
SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASE HIGH
DENSITY HOUSING.
AND IT.
BUT THE AMENDMENTS DID NOT GO
FAR ENOUGH TO PROVIDE THE TYPE
OF HOUSING WORKING FAMILIES NEED.
THE MARKET RATE HOUSING MIX WITH
A THIRD OF COMMERCIAL SPACE THAT
SEEKS TO PRODUCE WOULD LIMIT THE
ABILITY.
AVAILABILITY TO CREATE
AFFORDABLE HOUSING UNITS EVEN
WITH THE PROPOSED INCLUSIONARY
HOUSING COMPONENT.
WE SUPPORT A PROCESS BY WHICH
THE APPROVAL OF PROJECT IS
CONDITIONED WITH MEDICATION
REQUIREMENTS THAT ENSURE. IT
INFRASTRUCTURE CAN SUPPORT THE
HIGH DENSITY HOUSING.
THIS IS JUST BETTER PLANNING
THAT LEADS TO A BETTER PROJECT
AND A BETTER QUALITY OF LIFE FOR
RESIDENTS.
BUT S. B. A TWENTY SEVEN DOES
NOT CONTAIN SUCH PROVISIONS.
JUST LAST YEAR THIS LEGISLATURE
PASSED S. B. THIRTY FIVE WHICH
STREAM LIKE MIXED USE
RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT.
WE SUPPORTED THAT BILL AND WORK
WITH THE AUTHOR TO MAKE IT TO
MAKE SURE THE BILL MATT THE
PRINCIPLES OF PLANNING
AFFORDABILITY AND LABOR
PROTECTIONS.
IT IS UNKNOWN WHAT THE OUTCOME
OF THAT POLICY WILL BE.
RUSHING TO CREATE ANOTHER
STREAMLINING MEASURE ADDS MORE
PRESSURE ON HOW TO PAY THE FOR
THE SUPPORTING INFRASTRUCTURE.
WHAT IS THE MESSAGE TO CITIES ON
HOW TO PLAN FOR THE FUTURE AND
HOW TO RESPOND TO THE LOCAL
IMPACT ON COMMUNITIES?
WE BELIEVE THE BILL LACKS THIS
CLARITY AND ARGENEAU.
A SPEAKERS OPPOSE INCLUDES.
YES SIR.
MY NAME IS JOHN MAYER RUSSIAN ON
THE VICE MAYOR OF BEVERLY HILLS
I'D LIKE TO START BY THANKING
SENATOR WIENER FOR BRINGING THE
DISCUSSION OF HOUSING TO THE
FOREFRONT.
DISCUSSION WE SHOULD ALL BE
HAVING.
BUT SB A TWO SEVEN NOT TO
MENTION S. B. EIGHT TO EIGHT AND
OTHER PENDING BILLS ARE THE
WRONG PRESCRIPTION FOR THE
HOUSING CRISIS. KIND OF LIKE
TRYING TO CURE PSORIASIS WITH AN
APPENDECTOMY.
BECAUSE SB A TWO SEVEN ISN'T A
HOUSING OR TRANSIT BILL.
S. FORMER LA SUPERVISOR ZEV
YAROSLAVSKY POINTED OUT S. B.
TWO SEVEN IS A REAL ESTATE BILL%
WHICH TURNS TRANSIT. INTO A
SALES AMENITIES.
THAT'S JUST ONE REASON WHY S. B.
EIGHT TWO SEVEN REPRESENTS ONE
OF THE LARGEST WEALTH TRANSFERS
FROM THE PUBLIC TO THE PRIVATE
SECTOR IN STATE HISTORY.
SENATOR WIENER HAS SAID HE COULD
CARE LESS HOW MUCH MONEY
DEVELOPERS MAKE.
WELL MAYBE HE SHOULD. MAYBE HE
SHOULD ALSO BE CONCERNED ABOUT
TECH COMPANIES BRAGGING ABOUT
THEIR INSANE MARGINS AND THE
FACT IT INCOME INEQUALITY ITSELF
IS ONE OF THE MAJOR CAUSES OF
RIGHT HOUSING CRISIS YOU WRAP IT
UP PLEASE AMINTA NO OUTBURST.
NO OUTBURST WHAT SO WHERE THANK
YOU IN ADDITION TO GETTING
MULTIBILLION DOLLAR CORPORATIONS
AND PROFITEER CEOS TO PAY THEIR
FAIR SHARES IN A SEPARATE
HANDOUT. I LISTED SEVEN BULLET
POINTS ABOUT WHAT YOU CAN DO TO
DEAL WITH OUR HOUSING CRISIS
INCLUDING TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE TOP
DOWN PEREMPTORY MANDATES ARE NOT
SUITABLE FOR A STATE IS DIVERSE
AND WIDE RANGING IS CALIFORNIA.
IT'S TIME WE FINALLY RECOGNIZED
THAT THE VALUE OF OUR INDIVIDUAL
COMMUNITIES OF IS ONE OF THE
THINGS THAT MAKES CALIFORNIA
GREAT. AND FOR ALL YOUR GOOD
INTENTIONS IT'S TIME WE FINALLY
STOPPED TRYING TO PASS ONE SIZE
FITS ALL LAWS. WHICH TREAT
PEOPLE LIKE WIDGETS STATS
REMARKS THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR
YOUR TIME AIMS I'M SORRY.
.
BUT WE WANT PEOPLE TO ADDRESS.
THEIR NAME THE ORGANIZATION AND
THEIR POSITION ON THE BILL ONLY.

COME ON WE'RE NOT DOING THAT
HERE.
SENATORS PRESENTING HIS BILL HE
HAS A RIGHT TO DO THAT.
.
OKAY OTHER.
IS THERE ANYBODY ELSE THAT.
.
WOULD LIKE TO.
TESTIFY.
IF NOT.
QUESTIONS OF THE AUTHOR.
PERHAPS CENTER WINNER TWO
RESPONSES SOME OF THE CONCERNS.
SKINNER GAVE.
RIGHT.
OKAY.
OH THE QUESTIONS HE AUTHOR WHO
WANTS A SENATE ROTH.
SENATOR. GAINES DEPRESSION.
ETCETERA.
MEDICARE ACTUALLY IT'S NOT A
QUESTION OF THE AUTHOR I.
DOES THAT MAKE THE STATE.
BUT I THINK.
I THINK IT IS BUT MAYBE I NEED.
MAYBE I NEED TO GET INTO A
LITTLE.
I FEEL OR.
MAYBE THEY NEED TO TURN ME UP.
.
I JUST WANT TO I JUST WANT TO
COMMEND THE AUTHOR.
A FOR HIS COURAGE HIS.
SMART'S ON THIS PARTICULAR ISSUE
WHAT HE'S DONE.
LAST YEAR FOR TO ADVANCE THAT
THE CAUSE OF HOUSING WHAT HE'S
ATTEMPTING TO DO NOW IN. IN
ACTUALLY FOR HIS STAMINA.
I HAVING.
STOOD UP THERE NOW HAVING BEEN
THERE MYSELF ON OTHER ISSUES.
IT TURN IT PAINS ME A BIT TODAY
TO HAVE TO REFRAIN FROM
SUPPORTING THE MEASURE TODAY.
AND I MEAN THAT.
BECAUSE I NO.
AND I THINK I NO I'M CERTAINLY
BEGINNING TO UNDERSTAND THE
IMPACT.
OF DIFFICULT AND IN SOME CASES
MISGUIDED A LOCAL POLICIES ON
THE AVAILABILITY OF HOUSING.
CERTAINLY IN THE COASTAL HIGHLY
URBANIZED AREAS IN SAN FRANCISCO
AND.
AND PARTS OF LOS ANGELES MAYBE
NOT SOUTH AWAY.
.
I HAVE TO SAY HAVING LISTENED TO
SOME OF THE COMMENTS MY
CHALLENGE FRANKLY IS NOT. THE
ISSUE OF LOCAL CONTROL OR THE
LOCAL CONTROL ARGUMENT.
A WHILE I TRY TO BE SENSITIVE TO
THAT BECAUSE THEY CERTAINLY
IMPROVE WHICH TO REPRESENT AN
AREA WITH SEVEN CITIES AND.
THOSE CITIES HAVE LOCAL CONTROL
PREROGATIVES.
.
IN THIS HOUSING AREA AND OTHER
ISSUES THAT ARE IMPORTANT TO
THEM.
BUT.
FRANKLY WHEN LOCAL CONTROL
RESULTS IN.
INTRANSIGENCE.
ON IMPORTANT PUBLIC POLICY
ISSUES I BELIEVE THAT NEEDS TO
BE ADDRESSED.
AND ADDRESSED QUICKLY ADDRESS
PROMPTLY HAVE ADDRESSED
EFFICIENTLY AND AND ADDRESSED
EFFECTIVELY.
I HAVE TO SAY THE MY CHALLENGES
NOT THE.
LACK OF SUFFICIENT INCLUSIONARY
HOUSING THAT MY.
FRIENDS AT THE TABLE REFERENCE
TO.
ALTHOUGH THAT'S CERTAINLY
IMPORTANT AND WE ALSO NEED TO
DEAL WITH THE DISPLACEMENT ISSUE
THAT OTHERS HAVE REFERENCE TO
THAT'S OBVIOUSLY CRITICAL WE'RE
DEALING.
WITH PEOPLE'S LIVES.
BUT AT SOME POINT WE NEED MORE
HOUSING IN THIS STATE AND
WHETHER THAT HOUSING IS MARKET
RATE OR AFFORDABLE AND FRANKLY I
THINK IT NEEDS TO BE BOTH. I
THINK WE NEED TO RECOGNIZE THAT
IS.
AS OF LEGISLATORS IN UNDER THE
DOME HERE.
BUT MY CHALLENGE FRANKLY IS THE
ONE SIZE FITS ALL APPROACH TO
THE BILL WHICH MAY BE THE WAY
YOU NEED TO DO LEGISLATION ON
THIS ISSUE AND CERTAINLY. DO IT
THAT WAY IN THE STATE BUT IT IT
CREATES DIFFICULTIES FOR ME WHEN
IT'S SO A ONE SIZE FITS ALL
APPROACH FROM NORTH TO SOUTH
FROM COASTAL.
TO INLAND.
BECAUSE IT DOESN'T NECESSARILY
WORK.
IN SOME OF THE RURAL AREAS THAT
I'M I'M PRIVILEGED TO REPRESENT
BUT.
HAVING MADE THAT SPEECH.
SENATOR I COMMIT TO WORK WITH
YOU TO TRY TO FIX THIS PROBLEM.
AND FIX IT QUICKLY.
.
SOON.
AND I INTEND TO DO THAT THANK
YOU MISTER CHAIR.
THIRD DAWN.
YES.
.
YOU KNOW.
I THINK WE'VE HEARD THE PROBLEM
TODAY. AND THIS IS A PROBLEM I
DON'T CARE IF YOU'RE FROM
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA NORTHERN
CALIFORNIA. THIS IS A PROBLEM
THAT IS NOT GOING TO GO AWAY.
BY INACTION AND I TO.
THE BILL'S OFF
THEY'RE HERE.
FOR.
STEPPING UP.
WITH THE POLICY.
CITIES AND COUNTIES HAVE
CONTINUALLY ASK THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA TO PROVIDE MORE
FUNDING. FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING.
SENATOR BELL HAD HIS SB THREE
WE HAD SENATOR ATKINS WITH HER
BILL LAST YEAR WE STEPPED UP ON
ABOUT.
YEAH AT LEAST A HALF A DOZEN OR
MORE HOUSING BILLS HERE. AND
THEN OF COURSE WERE ASKED TO
INVEST IN PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION
GOING THROUGH NEIGHBORHOODS
GOING THROUGH DOWN TALENTS. IN
THE IDEA THAT WE'RE GONNA
CONTINUE.
TO INVEST THESE KIND OF HUNDREDS
OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS.
WITHOUT CO CORRESPONDING.
.
INCREASE IN DENSITY AND HOUSING
IN THESE AREAS. YOU KNOW FRANKLY
WERE NEVER GET HIT THE GOALS
THAT WE HAVE IN THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA IF WE DON'T DO
SOMETHING. BOLD LIKE THIS.
YOU KNOW.
I SERVED ON THE MATCH PAUL
TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION FOR
FOURTEEN YEARS THE LAST FOUR
YEARS WITH I THINK FOUR YEARS
WITH US SENATOR WIENER. AND ALSO
SENATOR BELL ON OTHERS.
AND WE DID HAVE A POLICY.
.
BUT I'M RESOLUTION THIRTY FOUR
THIRTY FOUR WHICH WAS A REGIONAL
TITO DE POLICY. THAT HAS WORKED
ACTUALLY VERY VERY WELL IN THE
BAY AREA.
UNFORTUNATELY NOT AND FOR TO
AID THE SITUATION IT IT TAKES
THE WHOLE COURT ORINDA ACCOUNT
AND NOT JUST BUS STOPS AND REAL
STOPS I CAN SEE. WHY IT'S
DIFFERENT BUT?
I THINK THAT.
.
I I THINK THAT HIS IDEAS HERE
ARE. SHOULD NOT JUST BE ALL
TOSSED OUT UNFORTUNATELY I WON'T
BE SUPPORTING THIS BILL TODAY
BECAUSE I TO HAVE TWENTY TWO
CITIES. ALL UNDER A HUNDRED
THOUSAND POPULATION.
THAT HAVE BEEN.
YOU KNOW IT IT ACTUALLY.
BOARD OF SUPERVISORS A COME OUT
ACTUALLY IN SUPPORT OF THE BILL
I BET THREE OF THEM. BUT ALMOST
EVERY SINGLE MAYOR CITY COUNCIL
MEMBER. IS OPPOSING THE BIL
BECAUSE IT DOESN'T GIVE THEM THE
FLEXIBILITY NEED. SO INSTEAD OF
THROWING THE BABY OUT WITH THE
BATHWATER LOUSY ANALOGY I KNOW.
.
I THINK THAT WE OUGHT TO TAKE.
THE PLICIES THAT THAT SENATOR
WIENER HAS COME UP WITH HERE AND
CONTINUE WORKING ON THIS.
TO DEVISE A PLAN THAT HELPS WITH
A LOT OF THE CONCERNS THAT WE'VE
HAD TODAY BUT DOESN'T STOP HERE.
THIS IS ONE OF THE CONCERNS I
HAVE IS THAT YOU KNOW WE HAVE.
SO MUCH NEED FOR THIS IN THE
STATE OF CALIFORNIA AND. I I I
APPRECIATE THE DISPLACEMENT
ARGUMENTS.
.
BUT WHAT.
WE ARE NEVER.
IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA IT
HAVE A PERFECT SOLUTION.
IN SOME WAY SOMEHOW LA MY THINK
A LOT OF THESE POLICIES ARE IN
THIS BILL. SHOULD BE.
YOUR CONTINUED AYE AYE.
.
GOT THE ASSURANCE OF THE
COMMITTEE CHAIR SENATOR BELL
THAT HE'S INTERESTED IN WORKING
ON THIS POLICY. GOING FORWARD.
THANK YOU.
YES THAT'S TRUE BONE NERVE
CENTER OF SKINNER.
IT'S OUR MCCARTY.
THERE'S GONNA.
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR.
.
APOLOGIES I WASN'T PRESENT FOR
THE ENTIRE.
.
COMMENTS FROM.
WITNESSES OR THE PUBLIC THOUGH
CERTAINLY AS A CO AUTHOR OF THE
BILL. I'VE.
RECEIVED MANY MANY
COMMUNICATIONS ON THE BILL.
AND I'M SURE THEY REFLECT.
MUCH OF WHAT WAS DISCUSSED.
BUT LET ME TELL YOU WHY I STILL
SUPPORT THIS BILL.
AND WHILE I APPRECIATE THE
REACTIONS OF THOUGH ONE SIZE
FITS ALL IS BEEN MODIFIED A
GREAT DEAL SO IS NO LONGER ONE
SIZE FITS ALL THOUGH I. DO
APPRECIATE THAT.
.
THOSE JURISDICTIONS THAT DON'T
WANT TO HAVE. A YOU KNOW THAT
DON'T WANT TO HAVE THE STATE.
A.
INVOLVED IN THEIR ZONING PROCESS
ARE QUITE RESISTANT BUT WON'T
LET ME SAY WHY WE NEED TO. IF WE
LOOK AT SO MANY OF THE PROBLEMS
THAT WE ARE TRYING TO ADJUST AND
FIX HERE IN THE STATE CAPITOL
THAT PLAGUE OUR STATE.
LET'S LOOK AT THE RISE OF
POVERTY.
WIRES DO WE HAVE SO MANY MORE
PEOPLE IN POVERTY IT'S PARTLY
DUE TO LOW WAGE JOBS CHANGING
EMPLOYMENT SECTOR YES BUT IT'S
ALSO DUE TO THE OST OF LIVING.
WHAT'S ONE OF THE SINGLE.
LARGEST PORTIONS OF THAT COST OF
LIVING INCREASE THE COST OF
HOUSING.
WHY BECAUSE WE HAVE NOT BUILT
ENOUGH?
SO WE'VE CREATED TO DECREASE
SOME LEVEL OF OUR INCREASING
POVERTY DUE TO HOUSING POLICIES.
SECONDARILY.
WHEN WE LOOK AT.
ALL OF THE WORK THAT WE ARE
TRYING TO DO TO ADDRESS AIR
POLLUTION. ARTISTS ARE PUSHING
COME FROM PRIMARILY FOSSIL FUEL
VEHICLES WHY. DO WE HAVE SO MANY
VEHICLE MILES HEAVILY TRAVELED
IN OUR STATE BECAUSE OF LAND USE
POLICIES BECAUSE OUR HOUSING IS
SO FAR AWAY FROM OUR EMPLOYMENT
SECTORS. AND OF COURSE LOWER
INCOME CALIFORNIANS LOWER WAGE
WORKERS HAVE TO BE EVEN FARTHER
FROM THEIR JOB CENTERS BECAUSE
OF THE LACK OF HOUSING AND THE
COST OF HOUSING.
ADDITIONALLY.
I.
I'LL TELL.
BUT A STORY FROM MY DAYS ON THE
BERKELEY CITY COUNCIL BUT BEFORE
THAT.
I TOTALLY APPRECIATE
THAT MANY PEOPLE FEEL THAT A
FULL ON THE BILL IS THAT IT DOES
NOT HAVE ENOUGH MANDATES REBAR
RECORD REGARDING.
VERY AFFORDABLE HOUSING BECAUSE
WE HAVE SUCH A SHORTAGE OF
AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND BECAUSE
BECAUSE HOUSING COSTS SO MUCH.
BUT IF WE DO NOT BUILD MORE
HOUSING WE WILL NEVER GET.
THE COST OF HOUSING DOWN BECAUSE
OF OUR UPPLY CROSS CRISIS.
BUT NOT ONLY THAT.
WE ONLY LOOK AT.
WHY THAT IT?
MY TWO YEARS IN TRUMP.
I WAS TEACHING AT BOTH UC
BERKELEY AND YOU SEE DAVIS.
AT UC BERKELEY I WAS AT THE
GOLDMAN SCHOOL OF PUBLIC POLICY.
AND I WAS TEACHING ABOUT.
APPROPRIATE SPEED INTERVENTIONS
TO ADDRESS POVERTY ONE OF MY
SPEAKERS WAS RICHARD ROTHSTEIN
RICHARD ROTHSTEIN IS THE AUTHOR
OF THE BOOK THE COLOR OF LAW I
RECOMMEND THAT EVERYONE READ
THAT BOOK IT IS I OPENING.
THE NEW YORK TIMES THIS LAST
SUNDAY DID A TWO COLUMN FULL
PAGE EDITORIAL ON MUCH OF THE
SUBJECT MATTER THAT ROTHSTEIN
COVERS IN THE COLOR OF LAW. AND
IT WHAT IT IS ABOUT
HOW FAR HOUSING POLICIES.
WHETHER WE FULLY UNDERSTOOD IT
OR NOT HAVE BEEN DIRECTLY RACIST
AND ECONOMICALLY DISCRIMINATORY.
AND THAT THE LACK OF.
THE RULES FIRST THAT PREVENTED
AFRICAN AMERICAN HOMEOWNERSHIP
INITIALLY.
CREATED DIS WEALTH
GENERATIONALLY.
AND THAT SINCE THEN. THE
RECESSION THE MORTGAGE CRISIS
TARGETED AFRICAN AMERICANS
ALMOST DOES.
VERY PARTICULARLY AND NOW
HOMEOWNERSHIP AMONG.
BLACK AMERICANS IS AT ITS LOWEST
LEVEL SINCE PRE. THE ELIMINATION
OF THE.
FAIR HOUSING IN OTHER WORDS
SINCE THE PASSAGE OF FAIR
HOUSING LAWS.
AND ADDITIONALLY BOTH.
BROUGHT SCHEMES BURKE.
AND THEN YOUR TIMES EDITORIAL
TALKS ABOUT HOW ZONING POLICIES.
WERE.
INITIALLY DEVELOPED FOR THE
PURPOSE OF ECONOMICALLY
EXCLUSIVE SUMMONING.
SOME PART OF WHAT THIS BILL IS
DOING.
EVEN THOUGH IT IF IT'S NOT BEEN
DIRECTLY TALKED ABOUT IS
UNRAVELING SOME OF THOSE.
POLICIES THAT.
SOME DON'T SOME WERE DONE
INTENTIONALLY SOME.
WITNESS UNDERSTANDING THAT IF
CREATED.
ECONOMIC ZONES IN OUR
COMMUNITIES.
AND KEPT MANY PEOPLE FROM
GAINING WEALTH. AND KEPT OTHER
PEOPLE.
IN.
IT IN A. EXPERTS OUT OF HOUSING
OPPORTUNITY.
CERTAIN OF THE REASON I SUPPORT
THE BILL NOW FINALLY I WANT TO
ADDRESS ANOTHER ISSUE AROUND.
THECRIES FOR WILL IF THIS BILL
JUST HAD MORE AFFORDABILITY AND
IT OR DEALT WITH PROVIDING LOW
INCOME HOUSING MORE. EXTRA WHY
COMMUNITY MIGHT SUPPORT IT.
WHEN I WAS IN THE ERKELEY CITY
COUNCIL IN NINETEEN EIGHTIES
THAT WE WE ACCEPTED GLADLY.
THE LAST HAD FINANCING FOR
SCATTERED SITE.
FULLY SUBSIDIZED PUBLIC HOUSING.
AND WE WORK SO EXCITED BECAUSE
BY ACCEPTING THAT GRANT WE WERE
GOING TO BE ALLOWING HOUSING.
THAT WAS NOT LIKE GHETTO HOUSING
MEANING WE WORK AND IT BUILDS.
TWENTY STORY.
INTO ONE BIG.
SECTION EIGHT TYPE UNIT BUT
INSTEAD WE ARE GOING TO PICK
TWELVE LOCATIONS IN THE CITY OF
BERKELEY WITH EIGHT TO TWELVE
UNITS EACH.
SPREADING IT AROUND GIVING
PEOPLE LOTS OF OPPORTUNITY AND
NOT IMPACTING ANYONE
NEIGHBORHOOD TOO MUCH.
NOW.
YOU MIGHT SAY BOY WERE YOU ALL
NAIVE.
BUT THE ENTIRE WHAT HAPPENED.
BY PICKING TWELVE SITES
THROUGHOUT THE CITY OF BERKELEY
BEADS HIGHER COMMUNITY WHEN
AGAINST IT.
AND.
WE SUCCEEDED AND WE BUILT THAT
HOUSING.
BUT THEN THE COMMUNITY
INEFFECTIVE VEILED RECALL.
IT WOULDN'T CREATED DISTRICT
ELECTIONS WHICH THEY SAID
BECAUSE THEY WANTED MORE LOCAL
CONTROL.
WHAT WAS THAT ABOUT IN THE CITY
OF BERKELEY BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T
WANT POOR PEOPLE LIVING NEXT TO
THEM EVEN IN A COMMUNITY LIKE
BERKELEY?
NOW THAT HOUSING STILL EXISTS
AND IF YOU DROVE THROUGH
BERKELEY RIGHT NOW YOU PRY WOULD
EVEN RECOGNIZE IT.
BECAUSE IT WAS DONE VERY WELL.
AND I THINK THAT THE HOUSING
THAT WOULD BE BUILT UNDER.
SBA TWENTY SEVEN WOULD BE DONE
VERY WELL.
AND IT DID IN THAT SENATOR
WIENER SPILL. REQUIRE CERTAIN
AMOUNT OF AFFORDABLE UNITS.
BUT I BRING IT UP BECAUSE.
VERY MANY TIMES
WHEN WE HEAR COMMUNITIES TALK
ABOUT I DON'T HAVE A CHANGE IN
ZONING YOUR WE DON'T WANT
DISTANCE YOUR PER WEEK YOU KNOW
WILL SUPPORT HOUSING BUT
SOMEWHERE ELSE.
THERE'S NEVER SOMEWHERE ELSE.
AND SO WHILE I WOULD.
IT YES CERTAINLY THERE COULD BE.
MODIFICATIONS IMPROVEMENTS TO
THE BILL AND IF THE BILL ISN'T
SUCCESSFUL THIS YEAR THERE WILL
BE LOTS OF PEOPLE WHO WORK ON
TRYING TO. BRING IT TO A PLACE
WHERE MORE OF US CAN SUPPORT.
BUT I THINK IT'S A VERY
IMPORTANT THING WE HAVE TO
CONFRONT HOW OUR HOUSING
POLICIES HAVE CONTRIBUTED. TO
POVERTY.
HAVE AFFECTED AND HURT OUR
MINORITY COMMUNITIES AND OF
COURSE ARE CREATING MUCH OF OUR
AIR POLLUTION AND GREENHOUSE GAS
EMISSIONS THANK YOU.
THANK YOU SO MUCH OUT MISTER
CHAIR.
A.
I DO KNOW.
THE SOONER WE HEAR THAT WELL.
PRIOR TO.
WORKING HERE IN THE SENATE.
AND I AM SO HAPPY THAT BEEN ABLE
TO GET TO KNOW HIM.
HE IS ONE OF THE HARDEST WORKING.
HE'S TENACIOUS.
EIGHT TIMES STUBBORN WHICH I
GREATLY RESPECT.
I IN HE IS ALSO. ONE OF THE MOST
DEDICATED HERE IN THE
LEGISLATURE WHEN IT COMES TO THE
ISSUE OF HOUSE.
HE STICKS HIS NECK OUT AND IF
YOU ARE A. RESIDENT OF SAN
FRANCISCO WHERE THE PENINSULA.
YOU SHOULD BE PROUD TO HAVE
SCOTT WIENER AS YOU REPRESENT.
AND I DO BELIEVE IT'S BEEN
DEEPLY UNFORTUNATE. ABOUT HOW
PERSONAL THIS IS BECOME.
ON THIS ISSUE ON THE PERSONAL
ATTACKS.
I ALSO UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS
ALSO VERY PERSONAL THE MANY IN
THIS ROOM. THROUGHOUT THE STATE.
AND.
PASSION IS HIGH.
THAT SAID I WANT TO BE ABLE TO
STICK TO THE ISSUE ON THIS.
HAVE HAD THE PLEASURE TO BE ABLE
MEET WITH SENATOR WIENER IN THE
CHAIR OF THIS COMMITTEE UP FOR
THE GREATER PART OF THREE OR
FOUR MONTHS.
BUT WORKING ON THIS BILL.
BUT IN THE REASON WHY I HAVE
BEEN MEETING WITH SENATOR WIENER
AND.
THE GOOD SENATOR FROM SAN
JOSE'S BECAUSE THIS BILL GOES TO
TWO DIFFERENT COMMITTEES.
OF COURSE THIS COMMITTEE AS WELL
AS GOVERNMENT AND FINANCES FOCUS
ON ALL ISSUES OF LOCAL
GOVERNMENT. AS WELL AS FINANCIAL
DECISIONS AND IMPACT LOCAL
GOVERNMENT.
AND WHILE WE MAY NOT HAVE ALWAYS
AGREED A IN OUR DISCUSSIONS. BUT
IT IS BEEN IMPORTANT
CONVERSATION TO HAVE.
BUT IN AS I SAID THE AS LATE AS
THIS AFTERNOON TO CENTER WIENER.
WHATEVER THE OUTCOME IS ON AND
TODAY'S VOTE. ABSOLUTELY
COMMITTED TO BE ABLE TO WORK
WITH THEM FAR IN THE WEEKS
MONTHS AND YEARS COME.
THERE ARE SOME CONCERNS THAT.
CENTER WIENER IS VERY FAMILIAR
WITH CENTER BELL IS VERY
FAMILIAR WITH BUT JUST WANT TO
LAY IT OUT HERE.
FROM THE BEGINNING I HAVE BEEN
CONCERNED THAT THIS HAS BEEN
MORE FOCUS.
AS A MARKET RATE HOUSING BILL.
ANIME COME AS A SURPRISE TO
SOME BOUGHT FROM THE AREA THAT I
REPRESENT. BUT IF YOU TAKE A
LOOK AT MY BACKGROUND HAVE BEEN
VERY FOCUSED ON THE ISSUE OF
AFFORDABLE HOUSING.
AND I DO BELIEVE BECAUSE THERE
ARE DOZENS OF CITIES IN THIS
STATE THEY DO NOT HAVE
INCLUSIONARY. HOUSING.
ORDINANCES.
THERE NEED TO BE A DEDICATED.
PERCENTAGE OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING
IN THIS BILL.
BOTTOM LINE.
BUT IF WE ARE FOCUSED.
I'M BEING ABLE TO PROVIDE.
VERY LOW LOW.
AND MODERATE HOUSING WE HAVE TO
MAKE SURE THAT THERE'S A
GUARANTEED PERCENTAGE FOR
WORKING FAMILIES IN THE STATE.
I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT THE
AFFORDABLE PROVISIONS CURRENTLY
IN THIS BILL ARE STRONG ENOUGH.
AND. I.
WE CAN'T JUST BASED OFF OF A
CULTURE.
I WON'T. BELABOR THE POINT.
I ALSO HAVE DEEP CONCERNS IN
REGARDS TO. THE PROTECTIONS FOR
TO PLAY DISPLACING CURRENT
AFFORDABLE HOUSING UNITS.
I DO BELIEVE THAT.
WE NEED STRONGER LANGUAGE FOR.
ANTI DISPLACEMENT PROTECTIONS
FOR THOSE WHO ARE LIVING IN
AFFORDABLE HOMES IN UNITS ACROSS
THE STATE. AND I DO BELIEVE THAT
WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO APPLY THE
S. B. THIRTY FIVE LANGUAGE WHICH
OFFERS A TENURE PROTECTION.
THE IN THAT IS WHY I WANT TO
CONTINUE TO WORK. ON THIS BILL.
STILL HAVE SOME CONCERNS ON THE
ISSUES OF BUS STOPS.
IS WELL. ON I I'M GONNA GO BACK
TO THE ISSUE THOUGH OF
PROTECTIONS.
THEIR HAVE BEEN AMENDMENT CITY
IS TAKEN AGAIN I THINK WE NEED
TO BE A TO GO STRONGER BUT AGAIN.
THE GOOD SENATOR FROM TERM CISCO
IS VERY WELL AWARE AND AGAIN I'M
NOT GOING TO BELABOR THE POINT.
IT'S BEEN BANDIED ABOUT ABOUT
ONE SIZE FITS ALL APPROACH IS
FOR.
CITIES.
THAT REPRESENT A VERY. BUT ONE
OF THEM BY I'D SAY HAD TO SAY
THE BEST THEORY OF CALIFORNIA
AND IS INCREDIBLY DIVERSE.
YOU HAD THE WEALTHIEST COUNTY IN
THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA ARE IN
THE SECOND SENATE DISTRICT AND
YOU ALSO HAVE THE POOREST COUNTY
IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA.
IN ONE SIZE FITS ALL APPROACH IS
DO NOT WORK.
FOR THE NORTH COAST LEADERS
DON'T.
.
AND. TALK ABOUT THE ISSUE OF
DENSITY.
IF YOU LIVE IN A COMMUNITY OF
OVER MILLION.
OR I KNOW HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS.
DENSITY.
WORKS
BECAUSE YOU HAD THAT BUILDING
TRANSIT.
I BELIEVE THAT WE SHOULD BE
BUILDING DENSER ALONG RAIL I
BELIEVE THAT WE SHOULD BE
BUILDING DENSER ALONG FAIRIES.
BUS STOPS I AM GREAT CONCERNS
WITH.
THE HOUSE OF CONCERNS WITH IF
YOU LIVE IN A COMMUNITY OF
TWELVE THOUSAND WHERE YOU LIVE
IN A COMMUNITY OF FORTY THOUSAND.
WHAT WORKS IN SAN FRANCISCO DOES
NOT WORK IN THOSE COMMUNITIES?
AND IT'S NOT BECAUSE THEY ARE.
TAUGHT ANTI AFFORDABLE HOUSING
SIMPLY DON'T WORK.
IN THE COMMUNITY LAW AYE LIVIN.
R. FIRE TRUCKS ARE LARGEST FIRE
TRUCK GOES UP TO THREE STORIES.
THAT'S OUR LADDER TRUCK.
HERE'S PRACTICAL ISSUES IN THE
SMALLER COMMUNITIES.
AND THAT IS A REAL ISSUE IN THE
COMMUNITY THAT I LIVE IN ONE
HOUSE ON THE CITY COUNCIL. CITY
FEELS WHAT WE DON'T SOME. OF THE
MOST.
PER CAPITA MOST AFFORDABLE
HOUSING IN THE COUNTY CINEMA AT
THE TIME.
AND THAT'S WHY I THINK WE NEED
TO CONTINUE TO WORK ON THIS
ISSUE. I ALSO SOME CONCERNS IN
REGARDS TO CP.
THIS
ISN'T THIS PREVENTS CITIES AND
COUNTIES FROM ANALYZING. BOMB
ANY THE POTENTIAL IMPACTS AND I
THINK THAT WE CAN STRENGTHEN
THAT AREA AS WELL.
CENTER WIENER HAS MADE
ADJUSTMENTS AND APPRECIATE THIS.
IN REGARDS TO.
PLANNING FOR LOCAL CITIES AND
COUNTIES
IODINE DID THAT TWO YEARS PLUS.
THIRD YEAR ODD THAT WOULD HAVE
TO BE APPROVED BY EIGHT CD.
WHEN IT COMES TO GENERAL PLANS.
ARE.
GEN A PLANS ARE PLANNING FOR
WATER AND WASTEWATER ALLOCATIONS.
BUT
YEARS OUT.
IT IS.
WE HAVE TO ALLOW CITIES AND
COUNTIES.
BUT A PRACTICAL TIMELINE TO BE
ABLE TO PLAN FOR A DENSER. A
COMMUNITY.
AND I'M NOT AGAINST HAVING ARE
IN THE RIGHT.
BUT SIZE COMMUNITIES.
DANCER.
PROJECTS BUT WE HAVE TO ON THE
PLANT FORTIN FINALLY.
I THINK ON THE ISSUE OF PARKING.
AGAIN CENTER WIENER HAS MADE
SOME AMENDMENTS THAT HAS GONE
FURTHER THAN WHERE THE ORIGINAL
BILL SAT.
I THINK THE ONE AREA THAT I
WOULD SAY IF YOU LIVE IN A
COMMUNITY.
OF SANTA ROSA.
.
I HAVE SOME CHALLENGES OF YOU'RE
GONNA NEED SOME POTENTIAL
PARKING.
BECAUSE TRANSIT CANDIDLY IS NOT
AS ROBUST AS IN THE CITY OF SAN
FRANCISCO.
SO THAT'S ALSO SOME AREAS WHERE
I WOULD LIKE TO BE ABLE TO
CONTINUE TO WORK.
HERE'S MY BOTTOM LINE.
I AND I SAID THIS DOESN'T WIENER
INSIDE TO STIR. CENTER BALLOT I
ALSO WANT TO SAY THANK YOU TO
SENATOR BELLS WELL. AS HE HAS
BEEN WORKING OVERTIME ON THIS
ISSUE AND.
.
HE REALLY HAS BEEN NO IT'S TRUE
IN YOU HAVE BEN SUCH A CHAMPION
FOR ALL SHE'S OF HOUSING AS WELL.
BUT I'M COMMITTED TO BE OF THE
WORK REGARDLESS OF TODAY'S VOTE.
BY OVER THE NEXT SIX MONTHS.
WELL THAT IS SUCCESSFUL.
BUT BECAUSE I DO THINK WE HAVE A
HOUSING CRISIS IN THE STATE. BUT
WE ALSO HAVE TO GET IT RIGHT.
AND I UNFORTUNATELY BE
SUPPORTING THE BILL TODAY. BEEN
VERY CLEAR WITH THE SENATOR
ALONG BUT I.
AGAIN WANT TO SAY THANK YOU TO
MIKE UP PRINT. ADS GOT WIN FOR
ALL HIS HARD WORK.
WELL I WANT ECHO I'D SOONER
MAGUIRE'S COMMENTS ABOUT.
.
A NUMBER OF THINGS PHAM FIRST OF
ALL WANT TO THANK EVERYONE WHO
CAME UP HERE ON SPECIFICS MADE
THE TREK UP FROM SOUTHERN
CALIFORNIA NO IT'S A LONG WAY.
AND I APPRECIATE YOU TAKING THE
OPPORTUNITY TO TO MAKE YOUR
VOICES HEARD. UPON YOU HAVE
ALWAYS IT'S ALWAYSA LITTLE AND
BROKE A LOT OF.
FANTASTIC GREAT VOICES FROM
NORTHERN CALIFORNIA IT'S JUST
EASIER TO GET HERE AND I IDEA. I
KNOW CHALLENGING IS FOR FOLKS
THAT CALIFORNIA'S I APPRECIATE
THAT. I'M I ALSO WANTED JUST
ECHOED CENTER MAGUIRE'S
SENTIMENTS WITH REGARDS TO THE
AUTHOR I THINK DID.
.
SENATE WINNERS BEEN GRACEFUL
HE'S PAN.
REALLY RESPONSIVE IN TRYING TO
ADDRESS A WHOLE SLEW OF ISSUES.
AND I THINK HE'S YOU KNOW
SIMILARLY VERY PASSIONATE ABOUT
WHAT IS A SERIOUS A SERIOUS
ISSUE THAT WE FACE
INFRASTRUCTURAL.
AND THAT'S HOUSING AFFORDABILITY
AVAILABILITY ACCESS.
I AM AND YOU KNOW BUT I THINK IT
REGARDLESS OF I DON'T KNOW WHAT
CAN HAPPEN IN A BY THE POUND
SCOTS CERTAINLY NOT GOING AWAY
THIS ISSUE IS NOT GOING AWAY.
AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I'VE
BEEN MESSAGING TO. THE MANY
CITIES AND NEIGHBORHOOD FOLKS
WHO HAVE COME TO ME FROM MY OWN
DISTRICT.
RAISING CONCERNS ABOUT THE BILL
IS OKAY WHILE FRACKING SUPPORT
THIS YOU KNOW WHAT ARE SOME.
SOME SOME WAYS OF OF ADDRESSING
THE ISSUE AND.
AND IN DOING SO IN A WAY THAT'S
MORE COMMUNITY FRIENDLY.
BECAUSE.
YOU KNOW I MEAN YOU HAD THE SAN
AND JUST OPPOSING THESE KINDS OF
THINGS.
IT IN THE FUTURE WILL NOT. WILL
NOT.
FLY WE GOTTA COME UP WITH SOME
WAYS THAT WILL BE RESPECTFUL OF
LOCAL NEEDS AND AND THE
GEOGRAPHIC DIVERSITY STATE.
WHILE ALSO ADDRESSING THE
BROADER STRUCTURAL CHALLENGES
THAT SCOTT IS ATTEMPTING TO
ADDRESS HERE NOW. LET ME JUST
START BY SAYING THAT I I I WANNA
JUST RAISE A COUPLE CONCERNS AND
WHAT WE KNOW ON.
I I DO THINK.
THAT ONE OF THE PROBLEMS WITH
THE BILL CONCEPTUALLY FOR ME.
AND THERE'S A GREAT. ARTICLE
INTERVIEW WITHOUT MICHAEL STORE
FOR WHO IS A PROFESSOR AT UCLA.
I IN THE PLANNING IN THAT LUSKIN
SCHOOL AND. IS AN ECONOMIC
GEOGRAPHER AND HE TALKS ABOUT
HOW.
I HAD THIS BILL IN SOME RESPECTS
TALKS ABOUT IS IS LINEAR AND
THAT THE DENSITY US ALL TO BE
LINEAR SO THE IDEA IS THAT WE
HAVE.
WE AT WE AUTHORIZE.
DENSITY ALONG A CORRIDOR.
AND YOU KNOW I THINK THE IMAGE
OF VALUE WHEN HE SAYS ACTUALLY
THIS IMAGE OF AL A IS ONE OF
DANCE UPON OUR THOROUGHFARES.
AND LEAVING OUR OTHER
NEIGHBORHOODS WITH LOW DENSITY.
ANY SAYS PERSONALLY I DON'T
THINK THAT'S GOOD URBANISM ORES
IT ECONOMICALLY OR SPATIALLY
EFFICIENT.
I'M AND HIS ARGUMENT IS THE
BENNETT SPEND BENEFITS A DENSELY
COVER DENSITY CLUSTERS NOT FROM
DENSITY CORRIDORS.
STRINGING DENSITY OUT AS A
TERRIBLE IDEA THIS IS HIS QUOTE
FROM THE STANDPOINT OF DESIGN
PLACE MAKING SOCIABILITY
ANESTHETICS WHAT WE NEED.
MAY SOMETHING.
MORE LIKE A FOREST THIS IS HIS.
HIS ARGUMENT.
ARE. SO SO ONE OF THE QUESTIONS
IS.
THAT IS YOU KNOW HOW HOW DO WE
HOW DO WE AND YOU KNOW IT IS IS
THE BILL TO. TO FOCUSED ON
CORRIDORS AND IN ITS PLACE LIKE
LOS ANGELES YOU END UP WITH
THESE IN DIFFICULT CHALLENGES
RIGHT BECAUSE. YOU'VE GOT BUSES
THAT ARE LYING ON A GRID SYSTEM
THAT ESSENTIALLY. THEY DARE TO
THE HUGE SECTIONS HUGE PORTIONS
LA SPACE AND WILL BE SUBJECT TO
THE FORMULA HERE. AND AMENDMENTS
TO THE DAHLE ATTENDING THE
CAPTURE ONLY THOSE BUS LINES
THAT ARE MORE PRO BEFORE UPS ON
YOU JUST MEET THINGS.
WELL I THINK A LITTLE MORE
CONFUSING AND THE OTHER ISSUE
COURSES THAT BUS ROUTES ARE NOT
NECESSARILY WELL WARNER FIXED LA
METRO. ACTUALLY SKETCHES CHANGES
ITS SCHEDULE FREQUENTLY.
AND I JUST AYE AYE A SOMEONE WHO
IS A PASSIONATE SUPPORTER PUBLIC
TRANSIT WHO.
WORKED VERY CLOSELY WITH WITH
SENATOR WIENER TO GET PUBLIC
TRANSIT FINANCING INTO A NUMBER
OF PARENTS BUDGET PLAYS
INCLUDING. SP ONE.
ARE YOU KNOW I'M CONCERNED ABOUT
HOW POLITICAL THOSE SCHEDULING
CHANGES MIGHT BECOME UNDER THIS
BILL. AND THERE'S LITTLE YOU
KNOW METROPOLITAN AREA IN THE
COUNTRY THAT DOLES OUT
DEVELOPMENT RIGHTS BASED ON THE
FREQUENCY OF A LOCAL BUS
SCHEDULE AND ON. IDEA YOU KNOW
AND I I WOULD I WORRY ABOUT THIS.
I'M DENI ZINE WHO YOU NINE KNOW
WELL THE RENTS MOVE LA I THINK
HE WAS CONCERNED. YOU KNOW THAT
MEASURE HAVE MY TO HAD PROBLEMS
PASSING LOS ANGELES OF FOLKS
KNEW. THAT THERE WAS SUCH A KIND
OF LOCAL ZONING IMPLICATIONS
ASSOCIATED THE CONSTRUCTION
TRANSIT BUT WE THIS IS SUPER
COMPLICATED AND I GOT A CHANCE.
TO VISIT A COUPLE SITES YOU
CORRECTLY POINT OUT THAT THE
STATE IN OUR LOCAL COMMUNITIES
HAVE PUT A LOT OF INFRASTRUCTURE
INVESTMENT INTO RAIL TRANSIT
LET'S LET'S PUT IT WHAT'S BEEN
PUT ASIDE THE BUSES.
BUT EVEN THE RAIL TRANSIT
LOCATIONS HAVE BECOME
COMPLICATED THERE WERE CASES AYE
AYE I JUST GOT A CHANCE TO TOUR.
ARE THE EXPO LINE RECENTLY ON
THIS ISSUE.
ON THE OTHER ISSUES OF STATIONS
THAT WERE SITUATED PARTICULAR
PLACES THAT WERE RESIDENTIAL
AREAS.
I'M NOT HERE BECAUSE WE OWE IT
WHERE WHERE THE RESIDENTS IS
NEVER WOULD'VE.
WHO WOULD WOULD FIGHT TOOTH AND
NAIL THE LOCATION OF A A A BUS
THAT'S ARE AT A TRAIN STATION IN
THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD IF THEY'D
KNOWN THAT? IT WOULD HAVE COME
ALONG WITH THE IMPLICATIONS OF A
TWENTY SEVEN THE REASON WHY THEY
PUT THE STATION THERE WAS
BECAUSE IT HAD TO DO. WITH THE
INTEGRATION WITH CERTAIN BUS
ROUTES I'VE.
SO DIDN'T HAVE TO DO WITH THE
THE THE THE PARTICULAR ZONING OR
DENSITY AROUND THAT PARTICULAR
STATION BUT HAD TO DO WITH THE
WAY THAT IT FIT INTO THE BROADER
BUS SYSTEM. IN THE REGION.
ARE.
SO YOU KNOW I THOUGH THOSE ARE
SIN UMP CONCERNS I ALSO WORRY
THAT I'M. YOU KNOW IF YOU THINK
ABOUT IT AYE THERE'S A TENSION
BETWEEN WHAT WE ALLOW THE MARKET
TO BUILD TO MEET DEMAND WHAT WE
REQUIRE FROM IN RETURN AND I YOU
KNOW FINE AND WAS HEARD ABOUT.
CONCERNS ABOUT DEVELOPERS ARE
YOU KNOW. I THINK IT FINDING THE
RIGHT PRICE TO CHARGE THE
DEVELOPER IS AN EASY BUT THAT'S
WHAT INCLUSIONARY ZONING
INTENSELY BONUS LAW IS PREMISED
UPON.
I AND YOU KNOW. THERE WAS A A
LOCAL GOVERNMENT STAFFER WHO
TALKED ABOUT HOW LOOK GOVERNMENT
IS IN THE BILL BUSINESS OF
SELLING LAND USE RIGHTS.
AND YOU KNOW PERHAPS A TWENTY
SEVEN IS.
YOU KNOW WHAT I'M.
THIS IS IS CERTAINLY GIVING AWAY
THIS IS THIS ENORMOUSLY VALUABLE.
SERIES OF RIGHTS NOW DOING SO
FOR GOOD REASONS BUT. UPON.
I DO THINK IT'S AT THE HEART OF
WHY WHY THE FOR THE HOUSING
FOLKS ARE LARGELY IN SUPPORT OF
THE BILL I MEAN ONE UNIT.
THE YOU THEIR BEEN SOME FAIRLY
IMPORTANT AGO SHE SHOULD THAT
HAPPEN TO LOCAL GOVERNMENT
DEVELOPERS TO GET AFFORDABLE
HOUSING.
I'M.
AND MAKE SURE THAT THERE ARE
ENOUGH GUARANTEES AND SET ASIDES.
BOB BUT BUT JESSE FOR NANCY SEEK
DOES NOT NECESSARILY LEAD TO
AFFORDABILITY AND ALL ONE HAS TO
DO IS LOOK AT MANHATTAN.
WHERE NOBODY CAN YOU FIT INTO
ANY EVER LIVING IN A CLOSET AND
PAYING FOR FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS
A MONTH TO LIVE IN A CLOSET? I'M
SO.
SO THAT THAT'S KIND OF THAT'S
THAT'S ANOTHER BUT I GUESS THE
CONCERN THAT DID YOU ARE WE
MAKING SURE THAT WE'RE CAPTION
THE VALUE HERE OF WHAT WERE.
POTENTIALLY GIVING AWAY.
BUT THERE'S ANOTHER CONCERN
ABOUT HISTORICAL PRESERVATION IN
DEMOLITION PROHIBITIONS IN LA ON
THERE'S NO LANGUAGE EXEMPTING
HISTORICAL PRESERVATION. ZONES
FROM THE BILL I KNOW THAT.
FOLKS ON THE OTHER STAFF SAY
THAT'S NOT NECESSARILY SEE THE
LOCAL GOVERNMENTS CAN COMPLETE.
PRIVATE YOU KNOW CAN COMPLETELY
PROTECT THESE AREAS THROUGH
ORDINANCES.
RESTRICTIONS ON DEMOLITION
PERMITS ON BUT THERE IS
CERTAINLY DISPUTE. HERE WE GOT
IT WE HAD A SIMILAR PROBLEM WITH
THIS IN MY DISTRICT.
WHERE?
IT'S SANTA MONICA FOR EXAMPLE
AND AFTER COSTA HAWKINS WAS
PASSED.
AND.
YOU KNOW THE.
THE CITY SANTA MONICA PAST
HISTORICAL PRESERVATION RULES
AND THEY GOT BEAT UP FOR IN THE
COURTS.
SO EVEN PLEASE STAND ASIDE THE
REALITIES THAT LA HAS A DETERS
THE WEEK DEMOLITION ORDNANCE NOW.
AND YOU CAN ONLY HEAR YOU CAN
PRESERVE ONLY ONE WALL OF A
STRUCTURE AND TEAR DOWN THE REST
UNDER CONSTRUCTION PERMIT TODAY.
SO AT LEAST IN MY DISTRICT AND
START PRESERVATION GUNS I THINK
MEAN AN EXPLICIT CARVE OUT TO
STAND A CHANCE OF SURVIVING.
SO A COUPLE THINGS TO THINK
ABOUT I'M I I THINK THAT.
.
FIRST OF ALL YOU ONE OF MY
QUESTIONS IS.
I LOVE YOUR APPROACH SB THIRTY
FIVE HOURS A CO AUTHOR ITEMS A
CONTROVERSIAL BILL I SUPPORTED
IT BEFORE I GOT WATER DOWN.
I AND.
YOU KNOW I THINK THAT ULTIMATELY
WHAT YOU WERE DOING WITH S. B.
THIRTY FIVE SAYING LOOK CITIES
HAVE TO MEET CERTAIN GOALS IF
THEY DON'T MEET THEM THEN THESE
RULES WILL KICK IN A PLACE.
AND WHEN THE QUESTIONS IS HOW DO
OKAY CITIES WERE GONNA HOLD YOU
DID WE'RE GONNA HOLD YOUR FEET
TO THE FIRE. BUT WE'RE GONNA
ALLOW YOU TO COME UP WITH. A
SERIES OF AND ABOUT THE MEETINGS
ARE TO BE DONE AT A REGIONAL
LEVEL SUPPOSED TO SEE LEVEL I
DON'T KNOW. HOW BUT BUT BUT WE
CAN SAVE THE CITY'S OKAY WE'RE
GONNA HOLD YOUR FEET TO THE FIRE
BUT WILL ALLOW YOU TO FIND A
PATH THAT MEETS YOUR LOCAL NEEDS
YOUR LOCAL GEOGRAPHY YOUR LOCAL?
NEIGHBORHOOD AS CHALLENGES DEATH
YA SE IS ON THE SEQUEL ISSUE I
MEAN THIS IS AN ENORMOUS SECRET
FORM.
ARE BUT WE'VE GOT BUT BUT WE GOT
ALSO TO CASES. OF PROJECTS THAT.
BUT THE CITIES THEMSELVES WANT
TO HAVE ON BOARD.
AND YET BECAUSE OF LAWSUITS AND
AND ALL SORTS OF CRAZY BATTLES
LITIGATION ETCETERA THOSE
PROJECTS CAN'T. GET ONLINE AND I
WONDER WHETHER YOU KNOW WE OUGHT
TO BE STARTING. BY FIXING THOSE
KIND OF SITUATIONS.
BEFORE.
YOU KNOW IT DIDN'T SO SO SO
AGGRESSIVE IN APPROACH.
SO THOSE ARE SOME OF THINGS I'M
THINKING ABOUT.
I I REALLY.
YOU KNOW I MEAN IT WHEN I SAY
THAT I APPRECIATE.
WHAT THAT WHAT THE SENATOR IS
DONE BECAUSE I GOT TO SAY?
YOU KNOW.
BY HIS REYES THE PROFILE THIS
ISSUE PROFOUNDLY.
AND I THINK THERE WAS A SENSE
OUT THERE THAT THERE IS NOTHING
WE CAN DO ABOUT THIS ISSUE. THAT
IT YOU KNOW THAT THESE PROBLEMS
ARE ALWAYS GOING TO EXIST. AND
THAT THE STATE WAS NEVER TAKEN
SERIOUSLY WHILE THE STATUS ARE
AND TAKE THIS ISSUE SERIOUSLY
BECAUSE. I'M EVEN IF FOLKS
THOUGH THOSE FOLKS WHO AREN'T
PLANNING ON VOTING FOR THIS BILL
TODAY.
ARE ARE ARE NOT SATISFIED WITH
THE STATUS QUO.
AND THE QUESTION NOW BECOMES YOU
KNOW OUR HOW DO WE HOW DO WE
WORK TOGETHER TO COME UP WITH A
SERIES OF SOLUTIONS THAT ARE
GOING TO BE.
RESPECTFUL OF THE DIVERSITY THE
STATE WHILE ALSO.
UNDERSTANDING RESPONSIVE TO THIS
ENORMOUS INFRASTRUCTURAL AN
EQUITY.
GAP THAT EXISTS.
AND SO THAT'S THE CHALLENGE THAT
WE ALL OF TODAY BUT I I
CERTAINLY WANT TO SEND A MESSAGE
TO. THE OPPONENTS OF THIS BILL
THAT IF THIS BILL FAILS TODAY OR
FAILS AT A LATER STAGE IN THE
LEGISLATURE.
.
YOU KNOW. THIS IS NOT GOING AWAY.
AND SO.
THE QUESTION AND THE CHALLENGE I
POSE TO ALL OF YOU.
IS.
HOW DO WE ADDRESS?
THESE AVAILABILITY CHALLENGES
THAT ARE AT THE HEART OF WHAT
CENTER WE ARE TRYING TO WORK ON.
IN A WAY THAT ADDRESS THE COURT
NEEDS AND CONCERNS THAT YOU HAVE
BROUGHT TO THE TABLE IN THIS
DISCUSSION.
SENATOR TED GAINES ACCURATE
THINK YOU APPRECIATE THE
OPPORTUNITY TO.
SPEAK TO YOUR BILL SENATOR
WINNER AND.
.
I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR BRINGING
THIS FORWARD. AND DISPLAYING THE
COURAGE THAT YOU HAVE I SUPPORT
YOUR BILL. ALL SUPPORTED TODAY.
I'VE BEEN IN THE LEGISLATURE FOR
TWELVE YEARS.
AND I HAVEN'T SEEN ANY ACTION
OUT SEQUEL.
AND CENTER MICHAEL RUBIO TRIED
TO BRING THAT LEGISLATION
FORWARD FOR REFORM. AND
ABSOLUTELY NOTHING HAS HAPPENED.
AND BARRING.
SEQUEL REFORM I THINK YOUR
PATHWAY.
IS A PATHWAY FOR THE
CONSTRUCTION OF ADDITIONAL
HOUSING IN THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA WE HAVE A HOUSING
CRISIS IN CALIFORNIA.
YOU'RE YOU'RE PROVIDING THE
OPPORTUNITY FOR THREE MILLION.
ADDITIONAL UNITS IN CALIFORNIA
AND I APPRECIATE THAT. NOT JUST
DEPARTMENTS THESE ARE
OPPORTUNITIES FOR CONDOMINIUMS
AND TOWNHOMES.
WE TAKE A LOOK AT THE AMERICAN
DREAM. THE ABILITY TO SATISFY
THE AMERICAN DREAM HERE IN
CALIFORNIA IS HARDER THAN IT'S
EVER BEEN BEFORE.
AND WE ACTUALLY HAVE A MIGRATION
OF PEOPLE MOVING OUT.
OF THE BAY AREA OUT OF SILICON
VALLEY OUT OF SAN FRANCISCO AND
THEY'RE GOING TO OTHER TECH HUBS
ACROSS THE COUNTRY. AND IF WE
DON'T SOLVE THIS PROBLEM WE'RE
GONNA LOSE OUR TAX BASE AND THE
ECONOMIC VITALITY. OF THE STATE
OF CALIFORNIA.
WE.
THIS SHOULD BE A HUGE JOB
CREATORS THEY'RE THE THE
OPPORTUNITY TO ADD ADDITIONAL
HOUSING YES WE HAVE A LABOR
PROBLEM. WITH HOUSING AND WITH
OTHER AREAS HERE IN THIS ECONOMY
BUT THE FACT THAT. IF YOUR BILL
MOVE FORWARD WE CREATE
OPPORTUNITY WHERE THE MARKET
WITH STABILIZE AND LABOR THERE
BE LABOR DEMAND. TO MAKE SURE
THAT THOSE UNITS ARE BEING BUILT
SO IT'S GOOD FOR THE ECONOMY
IT'S GOOD FOR JOB CREATION IT'S
GOOD FOR. REMAINING COMPETITIVE
WHEN IT COMES TO TECHNOLOGY WHEN
I TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT'S
HAPPENING IN CHINA.
AND THE FACT AND HOW QUICKLY
THAT THEY ARE CATCHING UP TO
WHAT DAHLE.
HALF OF VENTURE CAPITAL MONEY IS
NOW GOING TO CHINA WERE TEN
YEARS AGO WAS.
ABOUT.
FIVE OR SIX PERCENT.
WE HAVE SOME REAL CHALLENGES IN
FRONT OF US SO.
I WILL CONTINUE TO WORK WITH
YOUR BILL FOR DOESN'T GET OUT OF
THIS COMMITTEE. TODAY.
AND HOPEFULLY BILL SUPPORTED AT
THE SEE WHAT THE FASHION WOULD
BE IF IT DOESN'T GET OUT COMMIT
NOW.
BUT I'M SUPPORTIVE OF YOUR
EFFORTS SELF THANK YOU.
SENATOR WIENER FIAS ANNIE ON
COMMENTS.
BASED ON HIS COLLEAGUES.
A VAST OCEAN YEAH ó THANK YOU
MISTER CHAIRMAN AND I. WANT TO
THANK THE CHAIR AND ALSO CENTER
MCGUIRE.
FOR.
YOU YOU HAVE SPEND A
SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF TIME WITH
ME AND ALSO SENATOR SKINNER.
TRYING TO WORK THROUGH ISSUES
ALTHOUGH.
WE WERE UNABLE TO COME TO A
COMPLETE RESOLUTION WE ASK YOU
DID MAKE A FAIR AMOUNT OF
ROGRESS IN THERE AS. A LOT
MORE COMMON GROUND FRANKLY THAN
I HAD ANTICIPATED ARE GOING ON
INSIDE TO APPRECIATE BOTH TEARS
ON.
FOCUS ON THE BILL AND TRYING TO.
SEE IF THERE WAS A PASSED. PAWN
AND OF COURSE IF THERE IS NOT A
PATH THIS YEAR THERE WILL BE A
PATH IN THE FUTURE. AS US I
DON'T REMEMBER WHICH IN MY
COLLEAGUES SAID IT MAY BE WITH
SENATOR DIED ON DID THIS PROBLEM
IS NOT GOING AWAY.
DOT THREE POINT SIX MILLION
HOME DEFICIT. BY IT GROWS BY A
HUNDRED THOUSAND EVERY YEAR.
BECAUSE WE'RE SUPPOSED TO BE
PRODUCING. A HUNDRED AND EIGHTY
THOUSAND UNITS OF HOUSING PER
YEAR AND A REALITY. WE ARE.
PRODUCING EIGHTY THOUSAND.
SO GOES UP BY A HUNDRED THOUSAND
EVERY YEAR AND IT CONTINUES TO
DO THAT.
AND SO YOU KNOW I FEEL LIKE
SOMETIMES IN GOVERNMENT AT ALL
LEVELS. WHEN IT COMES TO HOUSING
IT'S A LITTLE BIT LIKE FIDDLING
WHILE ROME BURNS.
WE NASSER TEETH WE WRING OUR
HANDS.
BUT WE EVERYONE IDENTIFIES THE
PROBLEMS
THE PROBLEMS WITH BUILDING
HOUSING IS A MILLION PROBLEMS.
WE'RE GOING OUT AND KNOCKS DOT
THE HEART OF IT IN CALIFORNIA.
WE IDENTIFY ALL OF THE BAD
THINGS ABOUT BUILDING HOUSING.
WITHOUT ACKNOWLEDGING THE GOOD
THINGS THAT HOUSING IS
FOUNDATIONAL OTHER THAN AIR AND
WATER HOUSING IS PRETTY MUCH
FOUNDATIONAL. TO EVERYTHING ELSE
IN LIFE.
AND WHEN YOU YOU KNOW YET THE
GOT TO TIE IT ALL TOGETHER. WHEN
YOU LOOK AT THE EXPLOSION OF
HOMELESSNESS.
NOT JUST IN SAN FRANCISCO WERE
BERKELEY OR SANTA MONICA BUT ALL
ACROSS THE STATE.
BECAUSE WE ARE PUSHING POOR
PEOPLE ONTO THE STREET.
THE NUMBER OF SAN FRANCISCO
UNIFIED HAS TWENTY TWO HUNDRED
HOMELESS STUDENTS ONE OF OUR
SCHOOLS THAT'S OPENED UP THEIR
AUDITORIUM. SO THAT FAMILIES IN
THAT SCHOOL WHO ARE HOMELESS
COULD LIVE THEY HAD AND. ENOUGH
HOMELESS FAMILIES FILL IN
AUDITORIUM AND THIS S HAPPENING
AROUND THE STATE. WE ARE SAYING
YOUNG FAMILIES WHO GOD FORBID
THEY HAVE THAT SECOND KID.
I GUESS WHAT THEY'RE GONE.
BECAUSE WE HAVE MADE SHORTER
THROUGH BAD PUBLIC POLICY THAT
THERE IS NO WHERE FOR THEM TO
LIVE. PEOPLE WHO ARE TERRIFIED
THAT THEIR APARTMENT BUILDINGS
GETTING PAINTED COULD GET SADDAM
MEANS.
THAT MIGHT MEAN THAT THE
BUILDINGS GETTING SOLD AND
THEY'RE GOING TO GET EVICTED AND
THEY KNOW. THAT IF THEY GET
EVICTED. BUT THERE IS NO WHERE
FOR THEM TO GO BECAUSE WE REFUSE.
TO TAKE THE HARD STEPS NECESSARY.
TO BUILD MORE HOUSING.
SO THIS ISSUE ISN'T GOING AWAY
ON THIS BILL ISN'T GOING AWAY
WHATEVER HAPPENS TODAY WE'RE
GOING TO KEEP WORKING.
I AM I DO WANT TO JUST RESPOND
TO A FEW ISSUES.
BEVER RAISED.
ó YOU KNOW WITH ALL RESPECT
TO THE WESTERN CENTER.
BUT TO SUGGEST THAT THIS BILL
LARGELY APPLIES TO LOCAL
COMMUNITIES IS FACTUALLY
INACCURATE.
WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE LIST OF
CITIES BETTER NOT TO SUPPOSING
THIS BILL BUT VEHEMENTLY
OPPOSING THE SPILLED THE MOST
PASSIONATE THING WE HEARD TODAY
WAS IN THE MATTER OR FORMER
MAYOR OF BEVERLY HILLS.
MARIN COUNTY.
WEALTHY COMMUNITIES THROUGHOUT
THE STATE. WHO ARE?
VEHEMENTLY OPPOSE THIS BILL
BECAUSE THEY KNOW THAT THERE IS
GOING TO BE MORE HUSING IN
THEIR COMMUNITY WHETHER IT IS.
ORINDA OR WHETHER IT IS SANTA
ROSA OR WHETHER IT IS BEVERLY
HILLS OR ANY OF THE OTHER.
WEALTHIER COMMUNITIES BETTER
OPPOSING THIS BILL. GOD THIS
BILL AFFECTS THE WEST SIDE OF
SAN FRANCISCO.
AND THE NORTH SIDE OF SAN
FRANCISCO SOME OF THE WEALTHIEST
AREAS IN SAN FRANCISCO I HAVE
SOME CONSTITUENTS WHO WERE
REALLY MAD AT ME RIGHT NOW
BECAUSE THEY ARE GOING TO HAVE.
UNDER THIS BILL SOME APARTMENT
BUILDINGS IN THEIR COMMUNITY BUT
STILL APPLIES TO A BROAD SWATH
OF CALIFORNIA.
I'M I ALSO YOU KNOW I. LAST YEAR
WE WORKED REALLY HARD WITH LEVER.
POINT S. B. THIRTY FIVE I AM
THRILLED. GOTTA DONE MISTER DE
OF HEALTH THE PRODUCES SP THIRTY
FIVE. IT'S GREAT IT'S A PRO
LABOR BILL IT'S A PRO HOUSING
BILL LEEPER OPPOSE THAT BILL AT
THE BEGINNING AND WE WORKED VERY
HARD. AND WE WERE ABLE TO PASS A
GOOD BILL THAT IS CREATING GOOD
UNION JOBS.
ON WEDNESDAY LABOR CENTER
LETTER. SAYING THAT.
BUT THEY'RE CONFIDENT THAT THEY
CAN REACH AN AGREEMENT ON THE
BILL WE'VE ALREADY MADE.
AMENDMENTS TO ADDRESS SOME OF
WAIVERS COCERNS AND THIS BILL
SAYS.
WE BELIEVE WE CAN REACH AN
AGREEMENT ON THE SPELL SOME
SURPRISE THAT LABOR COME HERE
TODAY AND SAY VOTE. AGAINST THE
BILL WE WANT AN OPPORTUNITY TO
CONTINUE TO WORK WITH LABOR AND
OTHERS. BOTTLE ON THE BILL. BUT
THIS IS NOT A ONE SIZE FITS ALL
BILL WITH ALL RESPECT TO MY
COLLEAGUES.
THAT FREEZES VENUES A LOT ON
THIS BILL IT IS NOT A ONE SIZE
FITS ALL. AS I SAIDAT THE
BEGINNING IT DOESN'T CHANGE
APPROVAL PROCESS LOCAL PLANNING
COMMISSIONER CITY COUNCIL. WILL
STILL HAVE THE SAME EXACT RULE
UNDER SEQUEL CONDITIONAL USE IT
DOESN'T CHANGE LOCAL DESIGN
STANDARDS. EVERY CITY CAN ADOPT
SO DESIGN SENSE DOESN'T CHANGE
LOCAL DEMOLITION CONTROLS
DOESN'T CHANGE ALL CONCLUSION
ARE EVERY CITY. VICTIM THEY WANT
TO DO FIVE PERCENT TEN PERCENT
TWENTY PERCENT THIRTY PERCENT
CITIES WILL BE ABLE TO MAKE THAT
CHOICE IT DOESN'T CHANGE LOCAL
IMPACT FEES. DOESN'T CHANGE
WHETHER PARCEL ZONED RESIDENTIAL
THIS IS NOT A ONE SIZE FITS ALL.
APPROACH ANYMORE BEEN ANY BILL.
THAT THIS LEGISLATURE PASSES IS
IN ANY AREA IS ONE SIZE FITS ALL
WE MAKE POLICY FOR THE WHOLE
STATE OF CALIFORNIA. ONE HOUSING
THE HOUSING ELEMENT ONE
EDUCATION ON HEALTH CARE WHEN A
MILLION ISSUES. AND YES IT'S FOR
THE WHOLE STATE AND THAT MEANS I
GUESS EVERYTHING WE DO IS ONE
SIZE FITS ALL. THIS. RETAIN
SIGNIFICANT LOCAL FLEXIBILITY
THE CITY OF LOS ANGELES CAN BAN
DEMOLITIONS IN HQ DISEASE THEY
HAVE THAT WITHIN THEIR POWER AND
THIS BILL DOES NOT TAKE AWAY.
NOT SO COLLEAGUES I VERY MUCH
APPRECIATE THE THOUGHTFUL
CONVERSATION I'VE HAD IN THE.
VERY THOUGHTFUL CONVERSATIONS OF
ALL OF YOU YOU ARE ALL AMAZING.
AND I REALLY.
I'M HONORED TO HAVE YOU AS MY
COLLEAGUES I AND I RESPECTFULLY
ASK YOUR IDOL.
I. THINK GOES SERVE GOD JOHN
JUNE IMMIGRANT. TORRANCE.
IF YOU WERE TO AND
SENATOR YOU PAN INCREDIBLY
PATIENT BECAUSE I'VE.
REALLY REALLY STRUGGLED WITH
THIS BILL. YOU KNOW I REPRESENT
AN AREA WHERE WE HAVE THE
OPPOSITE PROBLEM AND AND YOU AND
I HAVE DISCUSSED THIS IN MY
DISTRICT YOU CAN HAVE A FOUR
BEDROOM TWO BY.
HOUSE
FOR FIFTEEN HUNDRED A MONTH TO
RANT AND YOU CAN PURCHASE IT FOR
THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS
OR LESS.
AND WE WERE GROUND ZERO FOR THE
HOUSING CRISIS WE STILL HAVE
FORECLOSURES IN THE AREA THAT I
REPRESENT AND THE DISTRICT THAT
I HAD BEFORE.
THE PROBLEM THAT WE HAVE IS THAT
WE DON'T HAVE THE JOB CENTERS
WERE HOUSING RICH WHERE JOBS
POOR.
SO I'VE I'VE REALLY STRUGGLED TO
WRAP MY HEAD AROUND. THIS BILL
AND APPROACH IT NOT FROM THAT
DISTRICT PERSPECTIVE FROM MY
DISTRICT.
BECAUSE IT WON'T HAVE THAT GREAT
OF AN IMPACT ON MY DISTRICT EVEN
THOUGH IT WOULD AFFECT MY
DISTRICT.
I'VE TRIED TO REALLY APPROACH IT
FROM. YOUR PERSPECTIVE AND
CENTER BOUNCE PERSPECTIVE IN THE
END. DIDN'T MEMBERS WHO
REPRESENT AREAS THAT ARE REALLY
SADDLED WITH THIS PROBLEM OF
BEING JOBS RICH AND HOUSING POOR.
AND.
I'VE REAL I'VE REALIZED THAT I
HAVE A GREAT DEAL TO LEARN
BECAUSE THEY ARE OUR SUBJECTS
THAT HAVE COME UP UNDER YOUR
BILL. THAT WE HAVEN'T TALKED
ABOUT SO MUCH BECAUSE WE DON'T
HAVE THOSE PROBLEMS WHERE I'M AT.
THAT ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I'M
I'M STRUGGLING WITH THIS IS THAT
ON YOUR CORRECT THAT WE HAVEN'T
HAD.
A TREMENDOUS POLICY DISCUSSION
THAT'S VERY BROAD THE
LEGISLATURE YOU KNOW I GOT HERE
AND. I WAS AN OFFICE FOR THREE
MONTHS AND WE START HAVING
HOUSING CRISIS.
AND TWO THOUSAND AND SEVEN AND
THEN IT WAS FOLLOWED BY THE
BUDGET CRISIS AND MY COLLEAGUES
WHO SERVED WITH ME AND THIS IS
THE ASSEMBLY WILL REMEMBER THAT
WE HAVE BEEN TRIAGE IN CRISIS.
SINCE WE GOT HERE AND THE
ECONOMY START TO GET A LITTLE
BETTER WE HAD THE WATER CRISIS
YOU KNOW THERE'S A COMMUNITY IN
MY DISTRICT MOUNTAIN HOW.
THAT.
DIDN'T HAVE ADEQUATE WATER
SUPPLY PLAN FOR THAT AREA AND AS
A RESULT. OF WHEN WE HAD THE
WATER SHORTAGE IN THE GOVERNOR.
IT'D IN ADMINISTRATIVE RULING
THAT THEY WERE GONNA BE
REDUCTIONS BY ALL OF THE
DIFFERENT VARIEGATION DISTRICTS
BYRON BETHANY HAD TO CUT OFF
SUPPLY. TO MOUNT HOUSE AND AND
FOR AWHILE THEY WERE WORRIED
THAT THEY WOULD HAVE NO WATER
BECAUSE IT WASN'T PLANNED FOR
THEIR. DIFFERENT THINGS THAT WE
HAVE.
WE THE LEGISLATURE WASN'T. AS
FOCUSED ON HOUSING BECAUSE OF
THE GLAD THAT WE HAD AND BECAUSE
OF THE CRISIS IT IS TIME FOR US
TO HAVE THIS. WHOLE DISCUSSION
THIS IS ONE INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT
PIECE. BUT I DON'T I DON'T THINK
IT'S THE ONLY PIECE. AND I THINK
THAT IT SHOULD BE DISCUSS ALSO
ALONG WITH. GOING BACK TO THE
DISCUSSION THAT WE HAD PRE
HOUSING CRISIS WHEN SENATOR
TOWER LOOKS AND WAS HERE.
AND HE HAD LEGISLATION THAT GAVE
INCENTIVES FOR.
HOUSING PROJECTS TO GO TO.
TWO JOBS WHICH AREAS AND FOR.
INCENTIVES FOR COMPANIES TO
EXPAND AND. JOBS POOR HOUSING
RICH AREAS.
WE DON'T TALK ABOUT THOSE THINGS
ANYMORE AND I BELIEVE THAT IT'S
IMPORTANT THAT WE DO WE'VE HAD I
AUTHORED HIGH SPEED WELL BECAUSE
WE WERE TRYING TO BRING.
TRANSIT TO THE.
JOBS WHICH AREAS AND THE HOUSING
WHICH AREAS AND AND.
AND HAVE ALL THAT AND WE'VE MADE
COMMITMENTS IN THAT AREA WE
DON'T KNOW WHAT THE IMPACTS OF
THAT.
YOU AND I'VE DISCUSSED A BALLOT
MEASURE THAT IS GOING TO BE ON
THE BALLOT IN JUNE ON NOVEMBER
AND IT. HAS TO DO WITH.
TAX INCENTIVES ALLOWING
MOBILITY OF.
CURRENT TAXES FOR THOSE WHO LIVE
AND WANT TO DOWNSIZE ARM OR MOVE
TO A DIFFERENT AREA WE.
UNFORTUNATELY DON'T HAVE THE
BENEFIT OF KNOWING WHAT KIND OF
AN IMPACT THAT WILL HAVE ON.
THIS WHOLE SPACE.
COULD IT BE THAT THERE WILL BE
PEOPLE WHO ARE NO LONGER WORKING
THAT ARE LIVING IN THE BAY AREA
AND SILICON VALLEY WHO WOULD
LIKE TO MOVE TO AN AREA LIKE WHY
REPRESENT WHERE THEY CAN LIVE ON
A LAKE OR GOLF COURSE FIRST.
FOUR HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS AT
MAYBE SO WE DON'T KNOW AND AND I
WISH THAT WE COULD HAVE THE
BENEFIT OF THAT CONVERSATION BUT.
ALL OF THESE PIECES.
WHAT YOU'RE TRYING TO FOCUS ON
ADDRESS THAT GIVES US? A. A
SHORTER TERM.
TO FIX TO THE TO THE PROBLEM
ALSO NEEDS TO BE ACCOMPANIED
WITH A LONGER TERM.
THE VISION FOR YOU KNOW HOW DO
WE GET BACK TO MAKING SURE THAT
WE HAVE A JOBS HOUSING BALANCE
THAT WE DON'T FIND HERSELF IN
THE SAME SITUATION.
FIVE FIVE OR TEN YEARS FROM NOW
AND. AND I STRUGGLE BECAUSE I
WON I WON HAVE THAT CONVERSATION
TOGETHER I WAS VERY PROUD TO
SUPPORT SENATOR BELLS FANS
PETITION PACKAGE THIS LAST YEAR.
AND IF YOU WOULD HAVE ASKED ME
TWO YEARS AGO I WASN'T THERE YET
BUT WE HAD A LOT OF TIME
I HAVE A LOT OF CONVERSATION
ABOUT IT AND LOOK AT MANY MANY
PIECES.
AND SO THAT'S WHY I'M MAD I WANT
TO GET THERE BUT I WANT TO HAVE
THIS CONVERSATION IN IN THE SAME
CONTEXT OF. OF KEEPING THEIR
JOBS HOUSING BALANCE
TO SOME NOT I'M NOT READY TO
SUPPORT IT TODAY.
.
I WANT TO KEEP CONTINUING TO
HAVE A CONVERSATION BUT THIS IS
NOT THIS ISN'T THE ONLY SOLUTION
WE NEED TO LOOK A BROADER. A
BROADER.
VISION GOING FORWARD.
BUT JUST GOT ORDERS.
CITY TO MANY THINGS BUT.
.
BECAUSE CENTER WINNER ARE IN THE
PROCESS WE'RE GOING TO BE
WORKING.
WITH NOT THIS BILL IS.
WE'RE GOING TO BE WORKING ON
HOUSING AND THAT'S THE BOTTOM
LINE BECAUSE.
I THINK HE DESCRIBED THE
PROBLEMS VERY CLEARLY. THERE IS
A BIG PROBLEM GATHERS NO DOUBT
ABOUT IT.
.
I.
I HAD AND I KINDA LOOK AT
THINGS A MAYBE A LITTLE
DIFFERENTLY IN SUMMER YOU. ON
THE COMMITTEE BECAUSE OF MY. MY
OWN PERSONAL EXPERIENCE WHERE. I
ACTUALLY LOST LE WE YOU KNOW MY
FAMILY OF TWELVE WE LOST OUR
HOUSE. DUE TO FIRE AND.
THERE WE WERE WITHOUT A PLACE
LIVE FOR.
LIKE YEAR AND A HALF WEEKS CUT A
COUCH SERVED AROUND AND.
WHERE MY PARENTS TRYING TO FIND
A PLACE IN THE WE WOULD THE?
THEY SAID HOW MANY PEOPLE YOU
HAVE YOUR FAMILY HAS SAID TWELVE.
KNOW WHERE YOU'RE NOT CONVERT TO
YOU GUYS.
SO WE ENDED UP IN.
.
THOSE PRETTY SMALL HOUSE FOR
WELL WELL THE HOUSE WAS
REBUILDING.
WHEN THE HOUSE WAS REBUILT MY.
MY DAD.
SAID TO MY MOM.
.
WELL WE HAVE A WE HAVE A ONE CAR
A MINUTE SO ONE OF THEM.
I'M GOING TO SELL THE ONE OR TWO
CARS AND THEN I'M GONNA TAKE THE
BUS.
I WOULD TAKE THE BUS EVERYDAY TO
WORK.
AND.
.
MY DAD TO TAKE THE BUS TO WORK
EVERYDAY.
FOR.
ABOUT THIRTY FIVE MORE YEARS.
UNTIL IT WAS IN HIS EIGHTIES.
IT WORKED TILLY WAS IN HIS
EIGHTIES.
MY MOM WORKED TWO THREE YEARS
AGO.
AND SHE'S NINETY ONE NOW.
SO. I AM THE KIND OF FAMILY.
WHAT WOULD HAPPEN WITH MY DAD?
AND THE THE FAMILY ONLY HAVING
ONE CAR.
WORDS THAT.
THE BUS STOP WAS LIKE A BLOCK
AND A HALF FROM OUR HOUSE.
THEY MOVED THE BUS STOP.
AND ELIMINATED THE ROUTE.
SO.
WHAT KIND OF THROUGH OUR FAMILY
FOR LOOPED ALL PLANNING THAT WE
HAVE?
ABOUT.
AND THAT'S JUST A LITTLE STORY.
WHEN I WANT TO TELL THAT STORY
TO PEOPLE ABOUT BUS ROUTES.
BUS ROUTES.
AND AND WHEN WE LOOK AT BUS
ROUTES I THINK OVER TIME.
THE SYSTEM THAT DOCTORS CENTER
WAITER AND MANY OTHER PEOPLE.
IT IS.
DON'T LOOK AT BUS ROUTES WERE.
LOOKING OUT OF THIS DECADE OF
CHANGE THAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN
AND THAT'S.
DECADE AND AND WHAT WHAT PEOPLE
ARE SAYING IS THAT.
PEOPLE ARE GOING TO GO TO A MORE
PERSONALIZED.
CHOICE IN TERMS OF
TRANSPORTATION.
AND RATHER THAN GO TO THE BUS
STOP THEY'RE GONNA COAL. A.
A DIFFERENT FORMA PERSONALIZE.
TRANSPORTATION MAYBE.
WHOEVER LIVED OR MAYBE OTHER BE
AUTOMATED VEHICLES.
AND. MORE AT SAID THE WHO
EVOLVES I THINK WE HAVE TO
REALIZE THAT.
WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN IS SO. A
LOT OF THE.
MORE LOCALIZED BUS ROUTES ARE
GONNA NOT BE THERE ANYMORE.
OKAY.
SO A FIGURE OVERTIME OVER TIME
WE'RE GONNA SEE. THIS NEXT
DECADE WITH OUR. ENERGY
CONSERVATION AND ARE ARE THE
THINGS WE'RE DOING. THERE'S
GONNA BE SOME CHANGES OKAY.
BUT WHEN YOU BUILD HOUSING WHEN
HE BILL HYBRIDS HOUSING AS
COMPUTER FOR A LONGER TIME.
SO WE HAVE TO MAKE THE RIGHT.
PLANNING DECISIONS.
WHEN WE MAKE THESE DECISIONS.
IT WHAT I WHAT I MAKE AND THE
OTHER THE SECOND THING I WANT TO
SAY IS WHEN I MAKE PLANNING
DECISIONS.
AND I'M I'M.
I WORKED AS A PLANNER OKAY.
THAT'S WHAT I DID.
BEFORE I GOT ELECTED WHEN I WAS
TWENTY EIGHT YEARS OLD.
THIRTY SEVEN YEARS AGO.
BOB.
I LOOK AT THINGS FROM A SOCIAL
JUSTICE.
WITNESS TO US.
HOUSING IS.
A RACIAL ISSUE.
YOUR RIGHTS GODDESS.
I DON'T HAVE TO READ A BOOK TO
TELL ME THAT. WHEN I WAS A
STUDENT ASSEMBLY STATE WE DID
SURVEYS ON TENANTS.
WE FOUND THAT THE BLACK STUDENTS
IN THE.
HISPANIC STUDENTS WERE
DISCRIMINATED AGAINST.
A LARGE PORTION OF THE TIME WHEN
THEY TRIED TO RANT.
THE APARTMENTS AROUND THE
UNIVERSITY.
AND.
AND ALSO A THIS WHEN WE TALK
ABOUT HOUSING. AND AND
GENTRIFICATION.
AND THOSE KINDS OF ISSUES.
THOSE ARE RACIAL ISSUES.
THERE ORIGINALLY SAID ABOUT FOR
ALL.
WHO A CERTAIN? QUAN NON WAS ON
THE COMMITTEE WITH BOB.
NATIONAL LEAGUE OF CITIES.
BOB FOR WAS A GREAT LEADER IN
LOS ANGELES WHEN I WHEN I WAS A
CITY COUNCIL MEMBER. I ADMIRED
BOB.
QUITE A BIT.
WHEN I WAS A YOUNG.
ELECTED OFFICIALS.
TO HEAR HIM TALK ABOUT SOCIAL
JUSTICE.
AND BOB WOULD WE DESERVED TO GO
IN YOUR COMMUNITY AND YOU SET
THAT MANNING AND SCOTT AND I AND
THE REST OF US WILL WILL. ATTEND
THAT MEETING.
THAT WE WILL BOB.
THEN.
WE NEED TO WE NEED TO KIND OF
THAT'S KIND REACHING OUT WE NEED
TO DO. NEW TALK ABOUT THE SEX.
BUT.
THE FUNDAMENTAL THING IS WE NEED
TO HAVE A BILL.
AND WE DID HAVE A BILL.
THIS COMING YEAR WE NEED TO WORK
ON THESE ISSUES.
AND GET SOME CONSENSUS.
AND ALSO YOU THIS.
THE FASTER WE COME TO CONSENSUS.
THE FASTER WE CAN IMPLEMENT THE
BILL.
SO I DON'T I DON'T VIEW.
.
THIS IS LOSING TIME.
I DO THIS IS COMING OUT DEALING
WITH THIS UP FRONT.
SO THAT WE CAN.
COMPLETE A WORK WE NEED TO DO TO
GET A GOOD BILLS.
AND THERE THEREBY BE ABLE TO
IMPLEMENT SOME OF THIS A LITTLE
QUICKER THAN WE WOULD OTHERWISE.
BE ABLE TO DO WORKING WITH OUR
LOCAL GOVERNMENTS ARE LOCAL
GOVERNMENT PARTNERS.
SO I WOULD LIKE TO SPEND THE
NEXT YEAR.
OUR NEXT OF.
SEVERAL MONTHS WORKING WITH.
EVERYBODY IN THIS COMMITTEE
CENTER WINNER ALTHOUGH.
THE COMMUNITY SINCE AND
CALIFORNIA.

THIS ISSUE.

INSTEAD STATISTICAL AT THAT
SHOWS THAT. A FEES REMAIN TO BE
A BARRIER IN SANTA CRUZ A SURVEY

EIGHTY USE WERE IN PERMITTED
BECAUSE HOMEOWNERS COULDN'T

SP EIGHTY THREE OH APPROACHES
THIS ISSUE THROUGH SEVERAL
IMPORTANT CHANGES.

PROGRAM ALLOWING THE
HOMEOWNERSHIP CHAIN
CONDITIONAL PEMIT FOR TEN YEARS
PROVIDED THE UNIT IS HABITABLE
AND SAFE AND HOMEOWNER HAS TEN
YEARS TO BRING THE UNIT IN
COMPLIANCE WITH BUILDING. A CODE
STANDARDS TO THE AS A INTIMATED
DELAMINATION OF FEES WHICH ARE
THE NUMBER ONE DETERRENT FOR THE
CREATION OF EIGHTY USE AND THREE
THE CREATION OF. GREATER
OVERSIGHT AUTHORITY FOR THE
DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT WITH ME IS
MATH REAGAN FROM THE BAY AREA
COUNCIL AND I HEARD TONIGHT VOTE.
THIS.
JUST FOR THE RECORD THERE WAS
NO REQUESTED AMENDMENTS OKAY SO
WE HAVE NO NO WE HAD SOME.
IDEAS BUT THERE WAS NO.
AMENDMENTS REQUESTED FOR YOUR
BILL.
BOB AND I RECOMMEND IN FAVOR
WITH NO AMENDMENTS.
MISTREATED.
MISTER CHAIRMAN SENATORS THANK
YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK
TODAY AND MY NAME'S MATT REGAN
AND SENIORVICE PRESIDENT OF
PUBLIC POLICY FOR THE BAY AREA
COUNCIL. A WE ARE A BUSINESS
SPONSORED PUBLIC POLICY ADVOCACY
ORGANIZATION.
BUT THREE HUNDRED OF THE BAY
AREA'S LARGEST EMPLOYERS ARE
MEMBERS.
WE SURVEYED IN EVERY YEAR WE
ASK THEM WHAT THEIR PREFERENCE
ABOUT ISSUES OF CONCERN ARE AND
FOR THE LAST THREE YEARS.
IT'S BEEN HOUSING OF THE COST
OF HOUSING THE AVAILABILITY OF
HOUSING HOMELESSNESS ALL OF THE
ASSOCIATED ISSUES FROM OUR
HOUSING PAT SHORTAGE IN OUR
HOUSING CRISIS.
SINCE TWO THOUSAND ELEVEN WE'VE
CREATED.
CAR PERMITTED RATHER JUST ONE
NEW HOUSING UNIT FOR EVERY EIGHT
JOBS WE'VE CREATED.
WERE IN THE MIDDLE OF A AN
ECONOMIC BOOM.
BUT WE'RE NOT.
IN THE MIDDLE OF A HOUSING BOOM.
OR IF YOU LOOK AT CAL.
TWO NUMBERS WERE.
PARABLE TO
BELT CITIES AND PER CAPITA
HOUSING PRODUCTION.
SOMETHING NEEDS TO CHANGE AND AS
WE SAW EARLIER.
.
CHANGING FOR LARGE MULTI FAMILY
IS GOING TO BE A DIFFICULT LEFT.
BITES AND WE THINK THAT
CERTAINLY FOR TINY HOMES BY CART
COTTAGES ACCESSORY DWELLING
UNITS IT SHOULD BE.
HOPEFULLY.
EASIER.
THERE ARE ONE POINT FIVE
MILLION SINGLE FAMILY HOMES IN
THE BAY AREA. AND IF WE COULD
SUCCEED IN JUST GETTING TEN
PERCENT OF THOSE HOMES.
TIP DEPARTMENT AND BUILD AN
ACCESSORY DWELLING UNIT WE FOR
ALL INTENTS AND PURPOSES SOLVED
A MUCH OF OUR HOUSING CRISIS.
IT'S NOT A SILVER BULLET OR A
PANACEA BUT IT'S CERTAINLY GOING
TO BE A LARGE PART OF. THE
SOLUTION OR HOUSING CRISIS
BOTTOM YET MUCH OF OUR REGION IS
ZONED SINGLE FAMILY HOME.
I'M SORRY SENATOR SKINNER LEFT
BECAUSE I HAD A. GOOD STORY FOR
HER BUT IN NINETEEN FIFTY THE
POPULATION OF BERKELEY.
WAS A HUNDRED AND THIRTEEN
THOUSAND PEOPLE. DIE IN NAY IN
TWO THOUSAND TEN THE HUNDRED AND
TWELVE THOUSAND PEOPLE.
SO IT'S ESSENTIALLY THE SAME.
SIXTY YEARS LATER.
BECAUSE IT'S PRIMARILY SINGLE
FAMILY HOMES AND IF WE'RE TO
DANCE A FIGHT CITIES LIKE
BERKELEY. AND WE NEED TO PUT
MORE PEOPLE IN THOSE SINGLE
FAMILY HOMES AND ACCESSORY
DWELLING UNITS IS IS A GREAT WAY
TO DO THAT A GREAT REPORT FROM
THE TURNER CENTER I LAST YEAR
SHOWED THAT CALIFORNIA'S HOMES.
BUT WE RANK.
I SECOND TO LAST IN HOMES PER
CAPITA NATIONALLY THAT'S ABOUT
STATISTIC BUT AN EVEN WORSE
STATISTIC IS THAT THOSE HOME TO
BECOME.
AT BECOMING LESS AND LESS
EFFICIENT OR FEWER AND FEWER
PEOPLE LIVING IN EACH OF OUR
HOMES SINCE NINETEEN SEVENTY THE
AVERAGE.
OCCUPANCY OF THE CALIFORNIA
HOME AND HAS DROPPED BY TWENTY
FIVE PERCENT.
THE BIT WE HAVE THESE LARGE
HOMES WITH A LOT OF EMPTY SPACE
IN THE WE BELIEVE THAT THOSE
HOMES WOULD BE MUCH MORE
EFFICIENTLY USED IF WE COULD
CONVERT SOME OF THAT UNUSED
LIVING SPACE INTO ACCESSORY
DWELLING UNITS.
WE ARE CHEN AYE VOTE THANK YOU
SO MUCH.
SO. OTHER SUPPORTERS PLEASE

SPEAKERS OPPOSE PLEASE COME
FORWARD.
YOU MAY SET UP YOUR.
MISTER CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS I'M
JUST CA.GOV AT THE CALIFORNIA
ASSOCIATION OF SANITATION
AGENCIES HERE TODAY IN
OPPOSITION TO SB THIRTY ONE.
AND THIS BILL WOULD ELIMINATE
THE ABILITY FOR PUBLIC AGENCIES
TO CHARGE FEES ASSOCIATED WITH
THE CONSTRUCTION OF EIGHTY USE
INCLUDING WATER AND SEWER
CONNECTION FEES AND CAPACITY
CHARGES.
PROPOSITIONS TO EGHTEEN AND
TWENTY SIX REQUIRE PUBLIC
AGENCIES.
TESTS ES PROPORTIONATE UNFAIR
FEES SO WE ARE CONCERNED THAT
REMOVING THEIR FEE AUTHORITY FOR
ONE TYPE OF RESIDENTIAL
CONSTRUCTION.
WILL NECESSARILY PASS THAT COST
BURDEN ON TO OTHER RATEPAYERS
AND THAT TYPE OF SUBSIDIZATION.
IS PROHIBITED BY THE
CONSTITUTION AND THIS PUTS OUR
AGENCIES AND SUBSTANTIAL LEGAL
JEOPARDY. WE WOULD ALSO LIKE TO
POINT OUT THAT WE NEGOTIATED
LANGUAGE THAT SIGNIFICANTLY
LIMITED OUR FEE AUTHORITY FOR
EGHTY USE AN SP TEN SIXTY NINE
AND TWENTY SIXTEEN. AN SP TWO
TWENTY NINE AND THAT TWENTY
SEVENTEEN. ARE AGENCIES HAVE
ACCORDINGLY BEEN ADJUSTING THEIR
RATE SCHEDULES OVER THE PAST TWO
YEARS TO COME IN COME INTO
COMPLIANCE WITH THE NEW LAWS.
IT IN THE CASE OF SP TWO TWENTY
NINE THAT'S.
JUST ONLY BEEN IN EFFECT SINCE
JANUARY SO UP FOR THESE REASONS
WE ARE OPPOSED TO THE BILL AND
WOULD URGE YOU KNOW VOTE.
GOOD EVENING SENATORS EMPTINESS
ON BEHALF OF THE ASSOCIATION OF
CALIFORNIA WATER AGENCIES. ARE.
YOU ALSO OPPOSED TO THE BILL FOR
THE REASONS THAT MISS GOVERNOR
STATED SO I WON'T REPEAT THOSE
JUST WHEN I THINK CENTER
WIECKOWSKI HIS STAFF.
FOR BEING VERY GENEROUS WITH
THEIR TIME TO HEAR OUR CONCERNS
HOPEFUL WE CAN COME TO SOME
RESOLUTION ON THE PILL.
MESMOS GALLAGHER STATED.
THE BILL WOULD PROHIBIT OUR
MEMBER AGENCIES FROM CHARGING
ANY FEE FOR.
BY ANY IMPACT OF A AND A
PACIFIC SAYS RECALLING UNIT THAT
INCLUDES YOU KNOW I'M TEARING UP
THE ROADWAY SIDEWALK TENSED ON
THE PIPELINE ESTONIA METERS IS
VERY REAL WORK THAT'S BEING DONE
THAT WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE'RE
ABLE TO CHARGE FOR.
AGAIN NOT OVER CHARGING
CHARGING THAT ADEQUATE RATE.
AS AS AS GOVERNOR SAY PROP TWO
EIGHTEEN PROHIBITS COST
SUBSIDIZATION SO WE JUST WANNA
MAKE SURE THAT OUR EMBER
AGENCIES ARE. ABLE TO RECOVER
THE COSTS
OF.
HAVING A NEW HE DO YOU THINK
YOU.
SPEAKERS.
BUT IF SHARON MEMBERS LAUREN
TABLE NCI REPRESENTING THE
AMERICAN PLANNING ASSOCIATION
HERE IN OPPOSITION AND I'M JUST
BRIEFLY I WOULD LIKE TO ECHO THE
CONCERNS AND REYES OPERATING THE
FEES. AND I THINK JUST ON THE
BROADER ISSUE AND WE HAVE A LOT
OF CONCERNS REGARDING THE FACT
THAT THIS IS THE THIRD YEAR IN A
ROW. ONWARD DOING MAKING MAJOR
CHANGES TO A DO YOU LA ON
THERE'S FIVE BILLS MOVING THIS
YEAR REGARDING A DO YOU.
LEGISLATION THREE OF THOSE I'M
SORRY BECAUSE AND THEN SENATOR
SKINNER AND.
SUMMER TING I'M ALL VERY
SIMILAR IF NOT THE SAME AND SO
I'M YOU KNOW LOCAL JURISDICTIONS
BEEN WORKING VERY HARD TO COME
INTO COMPLIANCE AND UPDATE THEIR
ORDINANCES BASED ON.
SHE DOESN'T SIXTEEN AND
SEVENTEEN LEGISLATION AND THAT
WE REALLY WOULD LIKE TO ALLOW
TIME FOR JURISDICTIONS AND TO
SHOW THE.
.
THE EFFECTS OF THOSE UPDATES AND
WE'VE SEEN I THINK EVEN NOTED IN
THE ANALYSIS THAT WE'VE HAD OF
THE PROLIFERATION OF EIGHTY YOU
PERMITS I'M PROCESS SINCE
PROCESS SENSE THOSE.
BILLS HAVE PASSED SO
RESPECTFULLY WE MUST REMAIN
OPPOSED THANK YOU.
GOOD EVENING MISTER CHAIRMAN AND

THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR JASON LOT
OCCURRED WITH A LITTLE STEAM
GILBERT ROPES AND SMITH ON
BEHALF OF THE CALIFORNIA
MUNICIPAL UTILITIES ASSOCIATION.
ARE ALSO OPPOSE UNLESS AMENDED
WOULD ECHO THE GOOD COMMENTS OF
MS GEIGER. IT DOES SEEM A LITTLE
AN APPROPRIATE TO BE ASKING
LOCAL GOVERNMENTS TO
SIMULTANEOUSLY PROVIDE
ADDITIONAL SERVICE VIA EIGHTY
USE.
AND THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN THEM
WHILE ALSO REDUCING THEIR
ABILITY TO COLLECT OR REALLY.
REDUCING THEIR BLUMLEIN CERN
LOOKING AT HOW WE WE WE ONLY
ALLOWED TO PEOPLE.
WHO HAD TO HEAR SO NO MORE
SPEECHES?
MISTER CHAIRMAN SENATOR ADAM
ROBIN ON BEHALF THE REGIONAL
WATER AUTHORITY SACRAMENTO IN
OPPOSITION THANK YOU.
GO AHEAD.
CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS TOM DUFFY
FOR THE COALITION FOR ADEQUATE
SCHOOL HOUSING WHERE OPPOSE
BECAUSE OF SCHOOL FEES BEING
ADDED AND THANK YOU.
ALEX GIVES YOU TODAY ON BEHALF
OF THE CITY OF FULLERTON
HUNTINGTON BEACH THE ORANGE
COUNTY SANITATION DISTRICT AS
WELL AS THE EAST ORANGE COUNTY
WATER DISTRICT IN OPPOSITION.
THE CHAIR ON BEHALF OF THE CITY
OF THOUSAND OAKS WE RESPECTFULLY
OPPOSE AS WELL AS.
OKAY.
.
WE CAN ASK QUESTIONS I GOT ONE.
OKAY IF I.
.
HAVE A HOUSE.
AND I PUT. TWO ORDERED FIFTY
THOUSAND DOLLARS WORTH OF
REMODELING ON MY HOUSE.
.
JUST TO FIX IT UP.
DO I PAVE THE CONNECTION FEE.
NO.
DUE I PAY A OUR CAPACITY CHARGE.
NO.
THOUGH IF I PUT DAY.
ASSESS RETOOL ALL YOU IN THE
BACKYARD.
WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE.
I'M NOT DIVIDING MY PROPERTY.
I'M JUST PUTTING ANOTHER.
STRUCTURE.
OR.
IT MIGHT AND THE UNITED IN BE A
SEPARATE STRUCTURE CORRECT
CORRECTLY ATTACHED TO THE.
SO IF I IT AS LONG AS I BECAUSE
OF EXCESS WHO DWELLING STRUCTURE.
IT'S IT'S NOT IT IT IS
CHARGEABLE ACCORDING WHAT
THEY'RE SAYING HERE. UNDER LAW
BUT IF IT'S JUST A REMODELING.
IT'S NOT IT'S NOT CHARGEABLE FOR
FREE MI MISSING SOMETHING HERE.
NO.
SO SO WHAT THEY'RE SAYING IS.
AND THAT IF I REMODEL MY HOUSE I
DON'T PAY A FEE BUT IF I PUT A.
EXCESS RESTRUCTURE.
.
I HAVE TO PICK CONNECTION FEE A
SCHOOL FEE OF ALL OF.
IN LACKEY MOVE ALL THAT STUFF
RIGHT.
YES AND OF.
SO GIVE ME GIVE ME AN IDEA ABOUT
HOW CONSISTENT THAT IS WITH THE
LAW I DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT.
THAT'S PROBLEM MAY BE THE. YOU
YOU KNOW YOU WANNA. DRESS Y.
COURSE JUST TO CLARIFY.
UNDER THE LANGUAGE THAT WAS
NEGOTIATED UNDER SB TEN SIXTY
NINE THE ONLY CIRCUMSTANCE THAT
WE DO NOT HAVE TO ANSWER THAT
WAS THE FIRST BILL THE BILL TWO
OKAY NOW. THOUGH THAT WAY AND
THE ONLY CIRCUMSTANCE WHERE WE
CAN CHARGE A CONNECTION FEE OR A
CAPACITY FEE IS. IN THE.
CIRCUMSTANCE WHERE YOU'RE
ACTUALLY PUTTING IN A NEW SEWER
LATERAL CONNECTING IT TO THE
TIME PUBLIC TRUNK LINE. SO THAT
IN THAT CASE WE THOUGHT MIGHT
OPERATIVE I DO SOME WORK ON A
SEWER LINE.
IF YOU ADD A NEW CONNECTION INTO
THE SEWER LINE TO THE EIGHTY YOU
THAN YOU WOULD PAY AN
APPROPRIATE PROPORTIONAL
CONNECTION FEE INCAPACITY CHARGE
UNDER. EXISTING LAW AND WE
INTEND TO CONTINUE TO WORK WITH
THE SEWER DISTRICTS AND THE
WATER JUST.
ON THAT BUT IF YOU HAVE.
A SENSORY BILLING TO DOESN'T
REALLY REQUIRE PITCHES YOU CAN
STEP INTO YOUR EXISTING ONLINE.
RIGHT WHY WHY WOULD YOU HAVE TO
THE TO THE SAINT LOUIS.
THE PAY THEY AND YOU AGREE THAT
SITUATION THERE WOULD BE NO FEE.
NONE OF THESE FEES.
WELL I CAN ONLY SPEAK TO THE
WATER FEES AND IN THAT SITUATION
IF YOU'RE NOT ADDING A NEW LINE
IF YOU'RE JUST PULLING OFF OF
THE ARRIVING LINE THERE WOULD BE
A FLAT FEE AT LEAST I'M I WANT
TO KNOW WHAT IS IT'S A DE
MINIMUS ISSUE I MEAN. WHAT?
BUT CUENTA RELEVANCE.
WE HAD A BIG PICTURE IS THIS AND
IT DOESN'T REALLY HAVE.
WELL IT ABOUT HOW WHAT KIND OF
PROBLEM. CLINIC PROBLEMER THEY
TALKED ABOUT I THINK I THINK IT
TURNED IT'S EASIER JUST TO SAY
THERE'S NO FEES.
AND.
TO DO AWAY WITH THAT.
SO WE CAN ENCOURAGE THESE
TALENTED POET THINK WHAT WE WANT
TO DO IS I WANT TO ENCOURAGE
THIS WEEK WHERE WE WANT TO MAKE
SURE THAT THESE THAT THE WATER
SERVICES IN THE SOURCES THEM IF
THEY'RE ACTUALLY COMING IN. AND
PUTTING IN NEW LINES AND
PROVIDING THAT ADDITIONAL CUP
THE IN SERVICE TO.
THE.
PEOPLE SHOULD PAY FOR THAT YEAH
PEOPLE'S FAVORITE MISTER IF I
CAN JUST ITS CHAIRMAN THEIR
CANAL SO WHEN WE DO NEW
DEVELOPMENT WE GET CHARGED WATER
CONNECTION FEES BASED ON THE
METER SIZE.
SO IT WOULDN'T BE EQUITABLE IF
THAT IS EXISTING HOUSE AT A.
THREE QUARTER INCH METER AND
THEN BECAUSE OF THE TWO
ADDITIONAL DWELLING UNIT THEY
HAD TO GO UP TO ONE. INCH METER
BECAUSE THAT'S THAT'S MONEY THAT
THEY WOULD HAVE CHARGED
INITIALLY SO I DO THINK THAT'S A
LEGITIMATE ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO
BE WORKED OUT AT THE END OF THIS
BILL.
CURRENTLY WOULD THEY NOT BE ABLE
TO CHARGE FOR THAT. NUT UP
SIZING OF THE METER OR A NEW
SEWER LINE. NO OKAY I THINK THAT
IS AN ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE
ADDRESSED BUT CELLS LIKE YOU'RE
SAYING YOU WANT TO WORK ON THAT
CORRECT WERE WORD THE MAIN FOCUS
IS THE FOOD HOMEOWNER DICK GETS
HIT WITH THE IMPACT FEES ARE
STEP FOR THE PLAY.
OF HAVING A UNIT
CENTER MCGUIRE SIR WINNER AND
BALES OF.
SOMEWHAT THINKS MUCH MISTER
CHAIR I I WILL NOT.
DO DEEP DIVE INTO THIS ISSUE BUT
I KNOW THIS IS A AN ITEM.
IF THIS BILL ISN'T IS ADVANCING
I'D TODAY THAT IS A CONCERN I
THINK IN THE NEXT COMMITTEES
SPECIALLY FOR LOOKING AT THOSE
OUT TO SAY THE NEW HOOKUP RIGHT.
ON.
OF ENSURING BECAUSE THAT'S AN
ONGOING COST
BUT TODAY DISTRICT ESPECIALLY IN
THE BEGINNING I IN TO BE ABLE TO
INSURE THAT BASS IS BEING
COVERED. SO. BUT. PLEASE GROUP
AMONG CENTER BUT I THINK THIS IS
AN ITEM THAT YOU ARE WILLING TO
BE OF THE WORK ON IF YOU IF YOU
COULD PLEASE ADDRESS SETBACK
BECAUSE SEWER DISTRICT.
AN OCCULT SEWER DISTRICTS BUT
SEWER DISTRICTS DON'T HAVE THE
CAPACITY THEY ONLY CAN CHARGE
FOR THE CITY SERVICES THAT THEY
THEY PROVIDE THEY DON'T HAVE THE
FLEXIBILITY THAT THE SCHOOL
DISTRICT HAS AND AT AM. ODD A
CITY HAS I'M ON GETTING THE
IMPACT FEE FOR AT THE BEGINNING
SO WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO TO
WORK WITH THEM IN THE NEXT.
FIVE DAYS BEFORE WE GET TO IT
BECAUSE IF IT'S NEW SERVICE AND
THAT'S THAT'S DIFFERENT NO IN IN
THE ONLY OTHER ITEM I WOULD SAY
IN IN TO GET ON. WE CAN TALK
ABOUT THIS THAT NEXT WEEK AND A
LOT OF COMPETITION BEFOREHAND HE
SET.
WHILE. LOOK I THINK WE NEED
ADDITIONAL EIGHTY USE THAT
THROUGHOUT CALIFORNIA.
AND A POTENTIAL CONSIDERATION
OF RATHER THAN COMPLETELY
ZEROING OUT. BUT ALL FEES
LOOKING AT A SIGNIFICANTLY
REDUCED FEE SCHEDULE BOMBED AND
BASED OFF OF WHAT THAT SQUARE
FOOTAGE COULD BE. AGAIN I'M JUST
MAKING THIS UP AT THE MOMENT BUT
IF YOU'RE LOOKING AT IT
SOMETHING THAT LIKE A THOUSAND
SQUARE FEET. BY ITS AT A THIRD
E. R. ECUSE ME AT FIFTY PERCENT
IF IT'S SEVEN HUNDRED FIFTY
SQUARE FEET IT'S AT A THIRD OR
YOU JUST LOOK AT A REDUCED FEE
SCHEDULE JUST BECAUSE THERE IS
ONGOING COSTS.
FOR THOSE CITIES OR THOSE ARE IN
THE COUNTY TO BE ABLE TO PROVE
IT BUT. ANYWAY THAT WOULD JUST
BE I WOULD LIKE TO BEGIN HERE
YOUR THOUGHT ON THAT WELL YOU
KNOW I MEAN I THINK WHAT WE
FORGET IS THE ASSESSMENT THAT'S
CRITICAL ONE ON ALL THESE
PROPERTIES AND WE DON'T CALLED
MURPHY BECAUSE IT'S AN
ASSESSMENT BUT. IF YOU TAKE YOUR
GARAGE IN YOU CONVERT IT AND YOU
GOT A FIVE OR SIX HUNDRED FOOT
GARAGE THAT'S GOOD AND
ASSESSMENT PROBABLY A HUNDRED
THOUSAND DOLLARS SHE COULD BE
PAYING. A A THOUSAND DOLLARS
ELEVEN HUNDRED DOLLARS MORE IN
PROPERTY TAXES EVERY YEAR. THIS
SUMMER DISTRICTS ARE CONCERNED
BECAUSE THEY DON'T GET ANY OF
THAT THAT I I I I UNDERSTAND
THAT FOR THAT ADDITIONAL SERVICE
BUT THE CITIES AND THE. AND THE
SCHOOL DISTRICT ACTUALLY SHARE.
YOU KNOW AND DIVERT DEPENDING ON
WHAT IT IS SO THEY GET MONEY.
FEES AS AS WE SAY NOT IN
ADDITION TO HAVING IT RIGHT OFF
THE TOP FOR THE PLEASURE OF A
BUILDING AS TO THIS IS TRYING TO.
YOU KNOW WERE WE GET THIS.
PANTECH PROBLEM.
WITH THE AD WITH NOT HAVING A
HOUSING AVAILABLE SO I AM AS I
LOOK FORWARD TO NEXT WEEK I'M
THINKING THAT MAYBE THE
APPROPRIATE FIX WOULD BE A
SUNSET SO THAT WE SAY OKAY LET'S
GET THIS BACKLOG OF. OF AND
WE'RE IN A CRISIS RIGHT NOW OF
HAVE THIS HAVE THESE FEES.
WAVED ORDER SET ASIDE AND THEN
SEE WHAT HAPPENS IN ALL THE
SCHOOL DISTRICTS HAVE ARE
CONCERNED YOU KNOW THEY'VE.
THE TEN SIXTEEN NINETY ORIGINAL
BILL ALLOWS FOR UP TO TWELVE
HUNDRED SQUARE FEET BUT VERY FEW
CITIES ALLOW FOR TWELVE HUNDRED
SQUARE FEET THERE MOSTLY REALLY
THE GARAGE CONVERSION THE SIX.
SEVEN HUNDRED SQUARE FEET SO
THEY'RE REALLY NOT A BIG IMPACT
FOR.
SCHOOL CHILDREN I'M NOT SAYING
THAT THERE'S NOT A CHILD LIVING
IN.
AT THE DE YOU BUT THE BUT THE
BIG IMPACT THE IMPACT FEES OR
CALL OUR FOR CHARGE OR THE SAME
AS A BRAND NEW MCMANSION.
YEAH SO THAT'S THAT'S THAT'S A
CHALLENGE WE HAVE IN THE FOUR
HUNDRED EIGHTY TWO CITIES AND
HOW THEY ARE SEWER SERVICE AND
USE CHARGE.
YEARLY RIGHT
OUR MONTHLY.
BECAUSE ON YOUR ARM PROPERTY TAX
BILL.
SURE SERVICE USE CHARGES.
THOSE ARE PROBLY DOCKS.
AB INCORRECT IS A CLEAR FIGHT
NOT ALL SEWER AGENCIES ACTUALLY
DO RECEIVE PROPERTY TAXES JUST
OF NO IT'S A SEWER SERVICE NEW
SEARCH NOT A PROPERTY TAX.
IF IT'S A SEPARATE FEE THAT YOU
PAY.
A USE FEE.
AND THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING
ABOUT.
SO A WE DO AT OUR BY THAT MAJOR
SECTIONS HIT EVERY YEAR.
BUT IT'S NOT APPROPRIATE SAID
SEPARATE THING.
THAT THE TAX COLLECTOR SINCE YOU.
SIR WE'RE.
AND THEN US SIR.
SIR ALAN.
OUR GREAT FIVE THANK YOU
CHAIRMAN AND THANK YOU THE
SENATE. FOR I MEAN THIS BILL FOR
IT I BELIEVE A CO AUTHOR ON AND
I'M A PROUD TO CO AUTHOR IT.
WHEN I WASN'T ON SEPARATE
SCHOOL BOARD OF SUPERVISORS.
WORKING WITH MY.
THEN COLLEAGUES.
THEN SUPERVISOR DAVID CHIU WE
WERE ABLE TO BREAK THE LOGJAM
THAT ARE PARALYZED SAN
FRANCISCO'S ABILITY TO ALLOW AND
WILL UNITS FOR MANY DECADES.
AND OF COURSE IN THE.
REHASH SOME DATA FROM THE LAST
BILL.
THAT WE HAVE A THREE POINT SIX
MILLION HOME DEFICIT IN
CALIFORNIA THREE POINT SIX.
MILLION HOMES ARE CLEARLY PEOPLE
ARE NOT FANS OF BUILDING UP OR
HAVING MORE DENSITY RAP DO SOME
MORE. A WORKFARE WE HAVE THE THE
BROAD COALITION SAY TO ANYTHING
YOU WANT BUT DON'T PUT MORE
DENSITY OF MY NEIGHBORHOOD.
AND SO THE OTHER OPTION IS TO
MAKE THE MOST EFFICIENT USE OF
THE BUILDINGS WE HAVE WHICH IS
ALSO INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT IF WE
ACTUALLY.
HAD A TRULY ROBUST
BY.
EIGHTY YOU PROGRAM EXPANSION
CALIFORNIA WHO WERE DR PHIL THE
THREE POINT SIX MILLION HOMES
BUT WE COULD FILL A BIG A CHUNK
OF THAT. I AND BY WE NEED TO
MAKE IT AS EASY AND INEXPENSIVE
AS POSSIBLE ARE AND SO I AM ALL
FOR ANYTHING WE CAN AND AND I DO
A LOT OF CREDIT CENTER MIKE
HEALTH HE IT IS A GAME. OF WHACK
A MOLE.
PASS IT YOU KNOW WE HAD A BILL
IN THE OUR LAW ON THE BOOKS FOR
DECADES SETTING THE LOCAL
COMMUNITIES ARE NOT ALLOWED. TO
PREVENT PEOPLE FROM PUTTING IT
TO USE IN THEIR HOMES THAT'S
BEEN ON THE BOOKS SINCE THE
EIGHTIES.
CITIES INCLUDING MY OWN CITY OF
SAN FRANCISCO TO BRAZENLY
IGNORED THAT LAW FOR DECADES.
CENTER WHITE HOUSE HE HAS BEEN
SYSTEMATICALLY.
SHUTTING DOWN THOSE LOOPHOLES.
TO SAY THAT WE ACTUALLY MEAN IT
BUT COMMUNITIES NEED TO ALLOW
THE CITY USED TO GO AND.
AND NOW OF COURSE WE.
THEIR COMMUNITIES HAVE
DISCOVERED THAT IFYOU JUST
CHARGE REALLY HIGH FEES.
MAYBE ONE HAVE AS MANY OF THESE
UNITS AGO AND. I'M SENSITIVE TO
THE NEEDS OF CITIES TO A LOT OF
RECOVER COSTS I GET THAT WE'RE
TALKING ABOUT EIGHTY USE THIS IS
NOT SOME REVOLUTIONARY BANG
YOU'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT A LARGE
BUILDING. GOING NTO TALKING
ABOUT A UNIT HERE.
UNIT THERE.
AND AND I THINK ANYTHING WE CAN
DO TO STREAMLINE IT AND MAKE IT
MORE AFFORDABLE A STOP SOME OF
THE OBSTRUCTION THAT WE ARE
SEEING. IS A GOOD THING AND I
SUPPORT THIS BILL.
I'M YOU KNOW I'VE BEEN
ENTHUSIASTIC SUPPORTER THE MEDIA%
BILLS BY AS WELL FOR ALL THE
REASONS OVER TO STATE MY OTHER
PROBLEM HOWEVER IS THAT I'VE
BEEN GIVEN THE VERY DUBIOUS IN.
SERVING AS CHAIR OF THE
EDUCATION COMMITTEE.
AND THEY KNOW WHERE WE'RE
FACING COSTS AND CHALLENGES
RELATING TO I'M SHORTFALLS AND
ECONOMIC CHALLENGES WE COURTS
HAVE PROPOSITION THIRTEEN WHICH.
AS VERY SERIOUSLY I LIMITED THE
ABILITY OF. SCHOOL DISTRICTS ARE
RAISE MONEY LOCALLY I'M MORE
JUST RAISE MONEY IN GENERAL.
AND YOU KNOW I DON'T ACTUALLY
THINK THAT THE IMPACT HERE IS TO
MINIMIZE WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT
HOME CONSISTING OF A TWELVE
HUNDRED SQUARE FEET THAT COULD.
HAVE BEEN A THREE BEDROOMS I YOU
KNOW I MEAN THAT THEY JUST HOPE
THAT YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE
FAMILIES MOVE AND. THAT INVOLVES
KIDS
AND DONE YOU KNOW THERE'S NO
REQUIREMENT THAT KNOWN UNDER THE
AGE OF FIFTY FIVE LIVE IN THE
SECOND HOMES ON THE PROPERTY. WE
ALREADY EXEMPT UNDER PARCEL
TAXES ANY SENIORS FROM THEIR
PARCEL TAX.
RESPONSIBILITY AND AND SO YOU
KNOW MY CONCERN HERE IS THAT I I
YOU KNOW WE'VE GOT I KNOW WHERE
WE'RE GOING FROM THE THE SEWAGE
FOLKS BUT.
YOU THE THE SCHOOL BUSINESS IT
OFFICIALS THE ADMINISTRATORS AND
SCHOOL BOARDS ASSOCIATION HAVE
ALL RAISED THEIR CONCERNS IN
OPPOSITION TO THIS BILL AND DONE.
BUILDING UP THE LETTER.
AND.
I YOU KNOW I'M I'M STRUGGLING
WITH THAT ISSUE AYE AYE AND I
TOTALLY DON'T WANT PEOPLE TO BE
COUCHED.
BUT.
YOU KNOW WHEN THE CHAIR TALKS
ABOUT DOING A RENOVATION ON
THEIR HOUSE THAT DOESN'T INVOLVE
MOVING IN A LOT MORE PEOPLE BUT
WHEN YOU'RE ACTUALLY BUILDING.
ANOTHER NO RIGHT BUT MY POINT IS
IN THIS CASE YOU'RE YOU'RE
ACTUALLY POTENTIALLY HOPEFULLY
WRITE ME PARLAY WHAT WE'RE
TRYING TO DO HERE. IS ALLOW
PEOPLE TO MOVE A FAMILY IN THE
BACK SO THAT WE CAN ACTUALLY
HAVE. A MORE AFFORDABLE HOUSING
FOR THESE FOLKS WILL BATTLE SO
WE CAN'T FORGET THE BURDEN THAT
PLACES ON THE LOCAL SCHOOL
SYSTEM IN BECAUSE WE NICKEL AND
DIME OUR SCHOOLS.
THE OUR SCHOOLS ARE STUCK HERE
CHINA YOU DEAL WITH GETTING
ADEQUATE FEEDS OUT OF HIS OUT OF
A BILL LIKE THIS SO. YOU KNOW I
UNDERSTAND YOU'RE TRYING TO. DO
THE LOWER DOWN BARRIERS BUT.
WE'VE ALSO GOT PEOPLE WHO ARE
TRUDGING THROUGH THE SYSTEM
TRYING TO.
YOU KNOW ADEQUATELY FUND OUR
SCHOOL SYSTEM AND I'M JUST
CONCERNED THIS BILL.
LEAVES THEM IN THE LURCH RIGHT
NOW.
SO I'VE I'VE READ THE LETTER
FROM THE SCHOOL DISTRICTS LET'S
BE CLEAR HERE IS SET AT A BI HER
S. B. TEN SIXTY NINE SAID THAT
THERE WAS A MAXIMUM SIZE OF
TWELVE HUNDRED SQUARE FEET. SO
UNDER STATE LAW THE CITY'S THE
FOUR HUNDRED EIGHTY TWO CITIES
IN THE FIFTY EIGHT COUNTIES CAN
PASS WHATEVER LAW THEY WANT TO
ON SIZE.
THEY'RE THEY'RE ABLE THEY'RE
ABLE TO PASS LAWS THAT SAY SIX
HUNDRED FEET SEVEN HUNDRED FEET
WE SAID UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES
COULD THE EIGHTY YOU BE UP TO
TWELVE HUNDRED FEET AND THAT
INCLUDED. THE FIGHTING
SOMEBODY'S HOUSE SO WE'RE NOT
THERE MANY OF THE CITIES HAVE
ALREADY PASSED LAWS THAT SAY THE
TWELVE HUNDRED FEET IS NOT
AVAILABLE. OR NOT AYE AYE AYE. A.
POSSIBLE IN THERE THE UC
BERKELEY STUDY ON EIGHTY YEARS
FINNEY SPAY FOUND THAT THE
AVERAGE OCCUPIED EIGHTY YOU
CONTAIN POINT TWO CHILDREN.
THE US SEPARATE STUDY AND EIGHTY
USE IN THE ORGAN REPORTED THAT
ONLY SEVEN PERCENT.
HAD CHILDREN WHAT WE'RE TALKING
ABOUT THE AVERAGE AYE I KNOW THE
LOSSES THAT YOU COULD HAVE UP TO
TWELVE HUNDRED THAT WOULD.
CREATED A CERTAIN SENSE TO PUT
THE MAJORITY OF EIGHTY USE OUR
CONVERSIONS OF A SIXTEEN SPACES
THIRD THAT GARAGE THAT'S FORTY
FIVE HUNDRED FEET. AND YOU KNOW
THERE I MEAN I'LL BE WORKING
WITH THE SCHOOL DISTRICTS.
YOU KNOW.
THERE MAY BE A PLACE TO LAND
HERE.
.
WITH IT BUT I AM RIGHT NOW THE.
THE INFORMATION WE'RE GETTING IS
THAT THE AVERAGE SIZE IS FIVE
AND SEVENTY SIX FEET. IS OF ó
IN EIGHTY YOU AND PEOPLE OUT
MOVING THEIR CHILDREN AND OTHER
THAN IN A. IN A.
EMERGENCY SITUATION BECAUSE
THEY DON'T HAVE OTHER TYPE OF
HOUSING BUT OF BY DESIGN DETER
THERE YOU KNOW. BUT WITH RESPECT
TO ME NOTS THAT'S THE CRISIS
THAT'S GOTTEN TALKING ABOUT
RIGHT THE FACT THAT YOU ARE
GOING TO SEE MORE MORE.
BOB FAMILIES TURNING TO THIS
KIND OF OPTION INSTEAD OF ENDING
UP ON THE STREETS.
AND DONE SO I I JUST THINK THAT
THE SCHOOLS HAVE TO BE
CONSIDERED PART OF THE AS PART
OF THE THE THE PROCESS HERE MAY
MAYBE. YOU CAN FIGURE OUT SOME
NEGOTIATION WITH THEM BUT I JUST
SO WE KNOW IT IS MY
UNDERSTANDING IS SET.
UNDER FIVE HUNDRED FEET ARE NOT
SUBJECT TO.
DEVELOPMENT FEES ANYWAY NOW SO
WE'RE LOOKING AT THE SMALL.
YEAH THE SMALL THE SMALL PERIOD
OR SOMEBODY BUILT AND EIGHTY YOU
THAT'S FIVE HUNDRED TWENTY FEET
AND AND. YOU KNOW IF I CAN THINK
THE CHALLENGES THAT. IT WHILE WE
FEDERAL LOT OF ENTHUSIASM LAST
YEAR WITH PEOPLE NOT OF ARTICLES
THERE'S STILL THE BIGGEST REASON
PEOPLE GO IN AND THEY SAY THE
IMPACT FEES WERE NOT GOING TO DO
IT. YOU KNOW SIXTY ONE PERCENT
OF PEOPLE. IN SANTA CRUZ WHICH
HAPPENED SAYING FOR THREE YEARS
IS THE PLATINUM PLATE BECAUSE
THEY GOT ON THEIR WEBSITE THESE
IDEAS OF WHAT YOU CAN BUILD
PEOPLE GOING THEY SAY A LOT OF
P. THIRTY THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR
THE IMPACT.
WHEN THE SCHOOL DISTRICTS AND
BECAUSE AND BECAUSE THEY TREAT
IT LIKE A BRAND NEW HOUSE AND
THAT'S WHAT WE CALL IT ACCESSORY
DWELLING UNITS CONSISTS NOT A
NEW HOUSE.
IT'S DIFFERENT SO OB CONTINUE TO
WORK WITH THE SCHOOLS I MEAN I.
KNOW THIS IS THE.
FOR FLORA I RECEIVED FROM THEM
SO I'M YOU KNOW I MEAN MY WIFE
SAID.
A TEACHER FOR GOD SAKES YOU KNOW
SO A LOT OF TEACHERS I. WOULD
LIKE TO THINK THAT TEACHERS CAN
ACTUALLY LIVE IN THE EIGHTY
YEARS.
AND BE CLOSE TO THE THE SCHOOL
SO.
MISTER CHAIR.
OKAY.
.
SENATOR DALTON.
WE GOT A COUPLE MORE COMMENTS OR
TO GET OUR DOG OUT FIRST OF ALL
I WANNA MAKE A MOTORCYCLE.
MISTER CHAIR I WANNA MAKE A
MOTION TO MOVE THE BILL I
SUPPORT THIS BILL WE'VE GOT
THESE ARE TOUGH DECISIONS I GET
IT. WERE SUPPORTING ME DID THE
TAXES.
FOR IT FOR SCHOOLS MORE LIKELY
KNOW KIDS ARE LIVING IN THAT
HOUSE THEY'RE STILL PAYING TAXES.
ON THE VALUE OF THE HOUSE IS THE
VALUE OF THE IMPROVEMENTS ON YOU
KNOW FOR THE SCHOOLS I THINK THE
PROBLEM IS.
DE MINIMUS.
AND WE NEED TO MOVE.
BUT ABOVE ARE THAT'S OUR WINNER
THIRTY SECONDS OR LESS AND LOOK
I I THINK YU CHAIR OF EDUCATION
RINGS UP AT SOME GOOD POINTS IT
IS AN ISSUE THAT WE'RE GOING TO
NEED TO BE ABLE TO RESOLVE. AYE
AS WE MOVE FORWARD.
WE NEED TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE IN
REGARDS DISTRICTS
WE DO NEED TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE
IN REGARD TO SCHOOLS I DO THINK
IN IT'S NOT A ONE SIZE FITS ALL
APPROACH YEAH. ONE EFFORT MISTER
WEINER SAID AT A THEIR AGO ABOUT
WHEN IT WHEN IT COMES THE ISSUE
SCHOOLS PARTICULAR IF WE LOOK AT
SOME OF THOSE DISTRICTS HAVE.
AT INCREASING GROWTHWITHIN
THEIR EIGHTY EIGHT SO LONG STORY
SHORT GONNA SUPPORT THE BILL
WOULD UNDERSTAND THE BURDEN NEED
BETTER WORK THROUGH SOME OF THE
CFE ISSUES PRIOR TO NEXT WEEK
I'M MY MY. ONLY POINT NOW CLOSES
THE GRABBED THE FIGURE OF TWELVE
HUNDRED FEET WHICH IS THE
MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE UNDER STATE
LAW WHEN ALL THE DATA SAYING
THESE ARE FIVE AND SEVENTY SIX.
FEE FOR UNITS THAT MEANS AT
FIVE HUNDRED YOU DON'T PAY
ANYTHING SO FOR SEVENTY SIX.
FEET YOU'RE GONNA PAY THE
MAXIMUM AMOUNT AND THAT'S COULD
TO DISCOURAGE PEOPLE TO WALK
AWAY FIDDLER Y. QUICK BUT. IT'S
AN ISSUE IS FROM BROUGHT TO MY
ATTENTION HOW CONTINUE WORKING
WITH THAT AYE URGENT AYE VOTE.
THERE WILL.
OKAY YOU GOT THE MOTION OF THE
BILL SAYS SERRA MCCARTY COULD
FALL.
THESE WERE.
LIMITED IN THESE CASES WEAKENED.
.
CHARGE SHOW. AIRBNB UNITS TO
MAKE UP THE DIFFERENCE FURTHER
CONNECTIONS FURTHER COMMERCIAL
USE.
ABOUT A BILL ABOUT
IF YOU KNOW JUST TO MAKE A CALL.
YOU KNOW A FACETIOUS COMMENT
MAYBE PERHAPS BUT. BUT I THINK I
THINK.
THAT GETS THE POINT IF YOU
REMODEL YOUR HOUSE YOU WANNA.
CONVERTED TO SOME KIND OF
COMMERCIAL USE OR. SOMETHING
LIKE THAT YOU DON'T PAY THESE
FEES AND THEN. YOU WANT TO PUT
ONE OF THESE AND YOU DO AND I I
THINK. TO ME THAT.
.
I THINK.
SOMETIMES WE'RE TRYING TO DO
STUFF HERE.
TO INCREASE THE SUPPLY OF
HOUSING FOR.
FOR ABOUT HOUSING.
THIS IS WONDERFUL THING TO DO.
WHY DON'T WE WHY DON'T WE TAKE
SOME ACTION HERE ON THIS SITE

THANK YOU SENATOR I THINK YOU.
YOU HAVE NINE VOTES SENATOR.
.
THE THE ROLE OF OPEN.
CENTER YOU HAVE YOUR.
COMMON INTEREST DEVELOPMENT
BILL YOU MAY PRESENT THAT THANK
YOU RESEARCHER AND I MEAN I
BELIEVE SP TWELVE SIXTY FIVE IS
GOING TO STRENGTHEN THE
DEMOCRATIC GOVERNANCE IN
CALIFORNIA'S FIFTY TWO THOUSAND
HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION.
UNFORTUNATELY NOT ALL H. WAY
BOARDS ARE THE SAME AND SME
MAJOR WAY BOARDS HAVE USED BY
LAWS AND RULES. ARE TO MAINTAIN
THEIR POWER AND CONTROL OVER THE
ASSOCIATION TO THE EXCLUSION OF
OTHER RESIDENTS OFTENTIMES JUST
EXCLUSION THE SELECTIVE FINING
AND THEN DISQUALIFYING THOSE WHO
SEEK TO CHALLENGE THEM AND THE
STATUS QUO. BOARDS HAVE ALSO
DENIED ACCESS TO THE COUNTING OF
BALLOTS AFTER THE ELECTION
SOMETIMES SYSTEM NOW OF ACCESS
IS PHYSICAL WITH THE BALLOTS BY
COUNTENANCE SOME SECRET OFFSITE
LOCATION AND SOMETIMES SYSTEM
NILE IS CONSTRUCTIVE WITH THE
BALLOTS. COUNTED IN A TINY
BEDROOM.
APARTMENT WITH LIMITED SPACE
EITHER WAY MEMBERS SEEKING TO
ENSURE A FAIR ELECTION CANNOT DO
SO FURTHER. FURTHERING DISTRESS
BETWEEN RESIDENTS IN THE BOARDS
WITH ME RETIRED JUDGE TOM
SERVICE HERE WITH THE CENTER FOR
CALIFORNIA H. AWAY LAW AND
CAROLINE HAYNES THOMAS THE
DIRECTOR OF HOUSING COMMUNITY
DEVELOPMENT AT THE SACRAMENTO
URBAN LEAGUE.
THE MOTION ON THE BILL.
.
THAT'S ONE FAVOR REVERED
PROBABLY THE IDEA.
I STARTED IN AS IF YOU CAN BRING
BRIEF AND BRIGHT PAUL I WILL.
I WILL MEAN PUSH FOR. THE
SENATORS ACTUALLY SAID MANY OF
THE THINGS THAT I WAS GOING TO
RAISE.
BUT I DO WANT TO POINT OUT THAT
THIS THE CENTER.
I WAS PART OF THE WORKING GROUP
THAT SUPPORTED THE TWO THOUSAND
FIVE TWO THOUSAND SIX.
BIPARTISAN CAMPAIGN IS SENATORS
DE JONES AND JIM BATON TO CLEAN
UP ASSOCIATION ELECTIONS.
AND TO MODEL EACH AWAY ELECTION
PROCEDURES CHECK ANY ADVANCING THE
CONSUMER AND CIVIL RIGHTS OF
HOMEOWNERS LIVING WITHIN THAT.
CALIFORNIA'S FIFTY TWO THOUSAND
H. AWAYS.
AND AS SUCH WE CONTINUE TO
RECEIVE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS
OF ABUSIVE PRACTICES AROUND THE
SCHEDULING AND CONDUCT OF
ELECTIONS WERE SPONSORING THIS
BILL TO ADDRESS THESE PROBLEMS
NUMBER ONE IS IMPROPER. USE OF
POWER TO SET QUALIFICATIONS TO
VOTE AND TO RUN FOR OFFICE IN
ORDER TO SQUELCH OPPOSITION.
AND WE HAVE A NUMBER OF EXAMPLES
OF HOW THIS IS DONE FOR YOUR
VERY VERY NEFARIOUS WAYS
INCLUDING.
REQUIREMENTS YOU SPEAK ENGLISH
THE TO HAVE SENIORITY WITHIN THE
COMMUNITY.
THEREAFTER YOU MUST PASS A
BACKGROUND CHECK ISRAEL FOURTH
AFTER GROUPS SPEAK ENGLISH.
YES YES
BUT WE HAVE AN EXAMPLE OF
SOMEONE WHO TOLD US THAT THEY
WERE DENIED IT THE ABILITY TO
RUN FOR THE BOARD BECAUSE HE
DIDN'T SPEAK ENGLISH.
ON THAT'S THE OWNERS OKAY NUMBER
TWO LACK OF NOTICE OF CLEAR
TIMELINES PRECARIOUS STEPS IN
THE ELECTION PROCESS FROM
NOMINATION THROUGH POST ELECTION.
SOME INCOME AND BOARDS EVEN FEEL
COMPLETELY TO HOLD ELECTIONS
DESPITE BILAS THAT MANDATE
ELECTIONS ANNUALLY.
NUMBER THREE IS A LACK OF A
NEUTRAL INSPECTOR OF ELECTIONS
WERE IN A PERSON. WITH A VESTED
INTEREST IN THE OUTCOME OF THE
ELECTION IS EMPOWERED TO RUN THE
ELECTION.
A NUMBER FOUR IS THE IMPOSITION
OF EXTREME BURDENS UPON A
HOMEOWNER WHO TRIES TO CHALLENGE
ELECTION.
AND THIS IS BASED ON THE LACK OF
PRESERVATION OF PROPER RECORDS
BY THE INSPECTOR.
AND ALSO AND I WILL OWN UP TO
THIS
LACK OF ENFORCEMENT OF PROPER
ELECTION PROCEDURES BY THE
COURTS.
SO WE THANK YOU FOR YOUR
ATTENTION ENERGY LIVE.
YES SECOND SPEAKER.
CAROLINE AND THE DIRECTOR OF
HOUSING AND COMMUNITY
DEVELOPMENT WITH THE IDEA
GREATER SECOND URBAN LEAGUE
WHICH IS AN AFFILIATE OF THE
NATIONAL URBAN LEAGUE. OUT ONE
OF THE LARGEST AND OLDEST MEMBER
CIVIL RIGHTS ORGANIZATIONS IN
THIS COUNTRY SO YOU KNOW THE
URBAN LEAGUE ITSELF HAS A LONG
STANDING COMMITMENT. TO VOTING
RIGHTS IN THE AT THE NATIONAL
URBAN LEAGUE HAS ESTABLISHED.
COUNTER STATE OF.
CAMPAIGNS ACROSS THIS COUNTRY
WHICH AIM TO UNDERMINE THE
VOTING RIGHTS OF CERTAIN CLASSES
OF PEOPLE SPECIFICALLY. AFRICAN
AMERICANS AND OTHER BY
NATIONALLY COLOR. SO I WAS
ASTONISHED SEVERAL MONTHS AGO
WHEN SEVERAL HOMEOWNERS FROM A
CITRUS HEIGHTS ASSOCIATION. CAME
TO OUR URBAN LEAGUE.
OFFICE AND THEY WERE ASKING FOR
HELP WITH GOVERNANCE ISSUES IN
THEIR COMMUNITY. AND THESE
HOMEOWNERS ARE ALL MEMBERS OF
PROTECTED CLASSES.
BAY REPORTED THAT THEY HAD NO
VOICE WHATSOEVER.
IN ASSOCIATION DECISION MAKING.
THEIR ASSOCIATION BOARD MEETINGS
ARE HELD A RADICALLY AND ARE
REPORTED AFTER THE FACT.
OTHER BOARD SEEMS TO GENERATE
ROOMS WITHOUT REFERENCE TO A
GOVERNING DOCKS DOCUMENTS OR
EVEN YOU KNOW COMMON SENSE FOR
EXAMPLE. EVEN THE DISABLED ARE
FORCED UNDER THREAT OF HAVING
THEIR CARS TOWED.
TO PARK. IN ALMOST EVERY
INSTANCE OVER A HUNDRED FEET
FROM THEIR HOMES THEY ARE NOT
ALLOWED TO PARK IN THEIR
DRIVEWAYS. THEY'RE NOT ALLOWED
TO PARK IN A HOME SPACES THAT
WERE INITIALLY SET UP FR THE
COMPLEX THEY'RE FORCED TO PARK
ON CITY STREETS.
SO THESE ARE WORKING CLASS
INDIVIDUALS A WITH A MODEST JOBS.
THESE HOMEOWNERS WANT TO
PARTICIPATE IN THE ROOM MAKING
AND GOVERNANCE OF THEIR
COMMUNITY.
BUT THEY'RE PREVENTED FROM DOING
SO.
A I MYSELF HAD THE.
ACTUAL EXPERIENCE WITH THE
STRATASYS BECAUSE AFTER GETTING
WRITTEN AUTHORIZATION FROM THE
HOME HOMEOWNERS TO SPEAK FOR
THEM. I PHONE THE MANAGEMENT
COMPANY TO REQUEST THE GOVERNING
DOCUMENTS.
IDENTIFY MYSELF AS A STAFF
MEMBER WOULD BE A SACRAMENTO
URBAN LEAGUE AND I WAS EMPOWER
TO SPEAK ON THE HOMEOWNERS
BEHALF WITH THEIR PERMISSION.
AND I WAS TOLD THAT THE
AUTHORIZATION I WAS GIVEN WAS
IRRELEVANT AND I WOULD HAVE THE
DOCUMENTS BECAUSE I WAS NOT AN
OWNER.
SO AS THE COMMITTEE KNOWS THE
GOVERNING DOCUMENTS OF AN
ASSOCIATION ESSENTIALLY ARE
ESSENTIALLY THE CONSTITUTION.
HOWEVER THE MANAGEMENT COMPANY
ON THE BOARD OF THE ASSOCIATION
APPARENTLY WANT TO KEEP THAT A
SECRET.
WHERE IN FACT WE SHOULD BE
READILY AVAILABLE FOR EVERY
HOMEOWNER? ESPECIALLY.
WHEN THEY'RE SEEKING TO TRY AND
RESOLVE THEIR PROBLEMS IN A
PEACEFUL PEACEABLE FASHION. SO
I'M I'M REALLY AND I'M DEEPLY
TROUBLED BY WHAT I'VE LEARNED
ABOUT ASSOCIATION GOVERNANCE.
OVER THESE PAST MONTHS I'M HERE
TODAY TO TESTIFYING ON BEHALF OF
THE SECULAR LEAK IN SUPPORT OF
SENATOR WHY COST PIECE. OF
LEGISLATION BECAUSE IT INVITES
SENATE URGES THE PARTICIPATION
OF HOMEOWNERS. IN THE DECISION
MAKING OF THEIR OWN COMMUNITIES.
OF THE LEGISLATION IS CONSISTENT
WITH THE URBAN LEAGUE'S
LONGSTANDING COMMITMENT TO
CAMPAIGNS. WHICH SERVE TO
BROADEN CIVIL ENGAGEMENT SO. I
THINK THE COMMITTEE FOR THE
OPPORTUNITY TO TESTIFY SUPPORT A
SIMILAR TO ASK HIS BILL OF.
SPEAKERS IN FAVOR PLEASE COME
FORWARD OTHERS SPEAKERS.
SPEAKERS OPPOSE PLEASE COME
FORWARD.
IF
WE HAVE SOME SPEAKERS OF CLOSING
YOU CAN COME RIGHT APPEARANCE
SAID. THE TWO SPEAKERS.
TWO MINUTES EACH.
THANK YOU.
YES OKAY WHO WAS TO BE THE LEAD
SPEAKER
.
GOOD EVENING MY NAME IS MIKE
PEDDLERS EYEING HIM A HOMEOWNER
INTO. HER DISH FOR OWNERS
ASSOCIATION.
ALSO WAY THE FORMER BOARD MEMBER
FORMER PRESIDENT AND I AM A
FORMER BOARD MEMBER PRESIDENT OF
THE.
LOCAL CHAPTERS COMMUNITY
ASSOCIATION'S INSTITUTE.
WE OUR SENIOR COMMUNITY MANY
RESIDENTS ON FIXED INCOME.
SO THE FIRST THING I WANT TALK
ABOUT IS COST.
MANY OF THE THINGS THAT ARE
BROUGHT UP IN THIS PARTICULAR
PIECE OF LEGISLATION AT COST
TO THE THE.
THE ABILITY TO RUN AN ELECTION.
MAILINGS COST MONEY.
.
WE HAVE ALL OF OUR GOVERNING
DOCUMENTS ONLINE WHICH IS EASILY
DONE.
DOCUMENTS CAN ALSO BE REQUESTED
BY MEMBERS IF THEY WANT
INDIVIDUAL COPIES OF ANY OF THEM
OF DOCUMENTS ARE INVOLVED IN THE
ELECTION RULES. THE CANDIDATE
NAMES ALL THE REST OF THAT.
ON THE OTHER ISSUE THAT WE HAVE
IS THIS PARTICULAR BILL. REDUCES
THE POOL OF AVAILABLE INSPECTORS
FOR ELECTIONS WHICH ALSO RAISES
BECAUSE.
WE'VE USUAL IN TEARS IN THE PAST
AND WE'VE HAD SOME ISSUES WHEN
USING VOLUNTEERS.
THEY'RE NOT ALWAYS WELL TRAINED
THERE HAVE BEEN ABUSES.
IT IN OUR ASSOCIATION IN TERMS
OF.
WHICH WAY THE.
OF WHO THE PEOPLE RUN IN THE
ELECTION RUN THE ELECTION.
THE SOLUTION TO THAT IS TO HIRE
ON.
INSTINCT PROFESSIONAL INSPECTOR
OF ELECTIONS THAT APPEARS TO BE
LIMITED IN THIS PARTICULAR PIECE
OF LEGISLATION.
.
WE FEEL THAT S. B. TWELVE SIXTY
FIVE RAISES ARE BECAUSE.
SECONDLY.
WE THINK THAT LOCAL CONTROL IS
VERY IMPORTANT.
WE SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO
ESTABLISH REASONABLE
QUALIFICATIONS OF YOUR BOARD
MEMBER.
AS THIS PIECE OF LEGISLATION
READS.
THERE ARE ONLY QUALIFICATION OF
YOUR BOARD MEMBER IN OUR
ASSOCIATION IS TO LIVE THERE.
SO TO HAVE ENOUGH MONEY TO BUY A
HOUSE THERE. IT DOESN'T EVEN
MATTER IF YOU'RE UP TO DATE ON
PAIN YOUR ASSESSMENTS.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE A MEMBER IN
GOOD STANDING WHICH IS THE WAY
OUR DOCKS READ TODAY.
IT ALSO DEALS WITH THE OTHER
PARTS OF THE.
THE THE RULES OF BOARD MEMBERS
BOARD MEMBERS ARE FIDUCIARY.
HOWEVER IF WE CAN'T SET
REASONABLE REQUIREMENTS FOR A
BOARD MEMBER.
WE COULD HAVE PEOPLE THAT HAVE
NO REASON TO BE AND NO RIGHT TO
BE FIDUCIARY IS ON THE WAR.
I THINK AT THE VERY LEAST
THE REQUIREMENTS TO BE A BOARD
pSHOULD BE OF THE SAME AS
REQUIREMENTS SHOULD BE ELECTED
TO ANY OTHER ELECTIVE OFFICE IN
THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA
AND THOSE ARE CURRENTLY IN.
SOMEONE INCORPORATION CODE SOME
OF IT IS IN OTHER AREAS BUT IS I
READ THIS THAT WOULD ELIMINATE
ALL OF IT. EUROPE IN A PLEASE
HAVE THE NOW YES SIR. SO AGAIN
ONE LAST THING ON A. STATEMENT
I'VE HEARD A LOT TODAY.
INTERESTINGLY ENOUGH IS ONE SIZE
FITS ALL ALL ASSOCIATIONS ARE
NOT THE SAME IN SACRAMENTO ALL
ASSOCIATIONS ARE NOT THE SAME.
IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA THERE
ARE. BIG DIFFERENCES BETWEEN
ASSOCIATIONS THE WAY THEY'RE RUN
IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA AND
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA. AND I'D
HATE TO SEE THE. OF ABUSES OF
THE FEW. BE APPLIED TO VERY
DRACONIAN.
MEASURES FOR ALL OF US THANK
YOU SIR. YES SIR WELCOME.
GOOD GOOD EVENING EVERYONE
PATENT AND LIKE VERY MUCH OF THE
STINGERS COMMITTEE FOR ALLOWING
YOU TODAY ON THIS ISSUE. MY NAME
IS ROBERT RITTER CAN I AM THE
CURRENT PRESIDENT OF THE SENATE
RANCHO PLANNED COMMUNITY
ASSOCIATION LOCATED IN MORENO
VALLEY.
ALSO THE HOME BASE FOR MARCH
AIR RESERVE BASE. AND VERY PROUD
OF THEM. A WE HAVE AND ALSO BE A
HIM MEDIUM TO LARGE SIZE EACH
AWAY HER WE HAVE TWO THOUSAND
SIX HUNDRED SEVENTY SEVEN.
SINGLE FAMILY HOMES COMPRISE
ALMOST TEN THOUSAND RESIDENTS.
BUT WE ALSO ARE ALREADY THEY THE
BOARD AT THAT IS COMPRISED OF
FIVE ON CHEERS OF FROM OUR
COMMUNITY ALL OF WHICH ARE
HOMEOWNERS WHO.
OUR COMMUNITY AMONG.
AMONG OUR MANY RESPONSIBILITIES
ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT
RESPONSIBILITIES.
INCLUDES BEING ENTRUSTED WITH
OVERSEEING THE MANAGEMENT IN MY
PARTICULAR CASE OF A THREE POINT
EIGHT MILLION DOLLAR BUDGET.
ONE OF THE CONCERNS WE HAVE FOR
THIS PARTICULAR BILL IS THE FACT
THAT EACH MEMBERS ELECTED TO
SERVE A TWO YEAR TERM. AND TO BE
REELECTED WITHOUT TERM LIMITS AS
STATED IN OUR CURRENT BYLAWS.
ARE CRIMINALS ALSO MAKE MUCH
LIKE THOSEOF THE NEARLY FIFTY
THOUSAND OTHER PITCHER WAYS
LOCATED IN THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA COMPRISED AT THIRTEEN
MILLION RESIDENTS LIVING IN
THOSE A CHOICES.
IT DID MISREPRESENTING ALL OF
THEM WIN IT ACTUALLY INCLUDES
SOME VERY BASIC COMMONSENSE
QUALIFICATIONS FOR THE FOLKS WHO
ARE GOING TO SIT ON THOSE BOARDS
AND IF WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT
VERY QUICKLY TODAY SPEAKING FROM
MY ASSOCIATION. THOSE
QUALIFICATIONS INCLUDE BEING A
HOMEOWNER IN GOOD STANDING AT
THE TIME YOU APPLY TO RUN FOR
THE BOARD.
BEING THAT YOU ARE CURRENTLY NO
FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS.
YOU AS A HOMEOWNER AGREE TO AS A
CONDITION FOR MOVING INTO AN H.
AWAY IN THE FIRST PLACE.
ANOTHER QUALIFICATIONS THAT A
DIRECT AND MAY NOT HAVE BEEN
CONVICTED OF A FELONY WERE
DECLARED TO BE OF UNSOUND MIND.
CHAIRED BY A COURT.
THESE QUALIFICATIONS OF LAWMEN
FOUNDATIONAL REQUIREMENTS FOR
MEMBER SEEKING TO RUN FOR THE
BOARD AND REFLECTING NOTHING
LESS THAN GOOD SOUND JUDGMENT ON
THE PART OF THE ASSOCIATION
MAKING EVERY EFFORT TO ASSURE.
THAT THOSE ELECTED TO REPRESENT
THEIR INTERESTS ARE HONEST
TRUSTWORTHY AND COMMITTED TO
PERFORMING THEIR DUE DILIGENCE
AS FIDUCIARY IS FOR THE RESPECT
OF THOSE ASSOCIATIONS. THIS BILL
TAKES AWAY ALL OF THAT
RESPONSIBILITY AND OBLIGATION
BECAUSE NOW WE DON'T KNOW WHO
MAY BE STEPPING ONTO A BOARD
TAKEN ON THAT FIDUCIARY
RESPONSIBILITY. ON BEHALF OF
PROBABLY THE MOST IMPORTANT
ASSET ANY OF OUR ASSOCIATION
MEMBERS POSSESS IN AS THEIR
HOMES.
AGAIN THIS HAS NO QUALIFICATIONS
THAT DETERMINES WHAT THE
CHARACTER WHAT THE
TRUSTWORTHINESS WHAT THE HONESTY.
ANYTHING EXPERIENCE WISE THAT
THAT PERSON COMING ON THE BOARD
MAY HAVE AND THAT PERSON IS THE
PERSON WHO'S GOING TO MAKE THE
DECISIONS THAT AFFECT EVERY
SINGLE HOMEOWNER THAT RESIDES IN
A MAJOR WAY IN CALIFORNIA
MCGINNIS THIRTEEN MILLION PEOPLE
THAT ARE COULD BE AFFECTED BY
THIS.
WE HAVE NO SURE BROWN SAS YOU
WRAP IT UP I JUST WANT YOU TO DO
THAT BOOK. WRAPPED UP NOT RIGHT
NOW. OKAY SO IN CONCLUSION I
JUST LIKE TO SAY THAT THIS IS A
BILL THAT WE REALLY WOULD LIKE
TO SEE OPPOSED AND I HAVE SIGNAL
VOTE ON IT AND THANK YOU FOR
YOUR CALL THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
ALRIGHT.
OF OTHER SPEAKERS OPPOSING OVER
THERE MISTER CHAIRMAN THERE'S A
COMMITTEE LOUIS BROWN ON BEHALF
