HOUSING COMMUNITY BILL WOULD
CREATE A PILOT PROGRAM
INCORPORATES A PROBABILITY OF
DEVELOPMENT ANALYSIS INTO ITS
EVALUATION OF THE LAND
INVENTORIES ADEQUACY. SINCE
SUNLIGHT IS SAID TO BE THE BEST
DISINFECTANT THIS BILL WOULD
ALSO REQUIRE LOCAL GOVERNMENTS
TO SUBMIT AN ELECTRONIC COPY OF
ITS INVENTORY OF LAND SUITABLE
FOR RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT. AND
POST THE MOST RECENT VERSION OF
THE PLAN INVENTORY ON ITS
WEBSITE. THE NEED FOR THIS
TRANSPARENCY IS EVIDENCED BY
EIGHT C. D. A IN MANY EXAMPLES
IN ONE EXAMPLE A REJECTION
ORANGE COUNTY'S HOUSING ELEMENT
SINCE A PUBLIC SCHOOL IN THIS
YEAR OF TRAINING CENTER WERE
LISTED AS PART OF THE HOUSING
ELEMENT. WELL ECT DOES
EVERYTHING THEY CAN TO ENSURE
LOCAL GOVERNMENTS ARE IN
COMPLIANCE STAFF SHORTAGES IN
THE SHEER SIZE OF THESE REPORTS.
MEAN UNDEVELOPED HERBAL SITES.
HOW CAN IT WILL SLIP THROUGH THE
CRACKS. CRUCIALLY EIGHT CD ONLY

PROCEDURAL ISSUES OF WHAT
ACADEMICS FAMILIAR WITH THE
STATE'S HOUSING POLICY TO URGE
THE ADAPTATION. OF A PROP A
PROBABILISTIC RINA METHOD. WE
CANNOT KEEP UNDER UTILIZING A
HOUSING TOOL. AT OUR DISPOSAL
THOUSANDS FOR CONSTITUENTS LIVE
ON THE STREETS. HOWEVER
FUNDAMENTAL CHANGE THE READER
PROCESS REQUIRES AN INCREMENTAL
APPROACH AND THAT'S WHY SB FOUR

SITES LIST FOR OUR ACTUAL
VIABLE. CURRENTLY HOUSING
ELEMENT LAW DOES NOT REQUIRE
LAND OWNERS INTENTION TO BE A
FACTOR IN DETERMINING THE
ADEQUACY OF THE SITES AND LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS DOESN'T EIGHT TO
MAKE THEIR FAIR SHARE. OF HOT
REGIONAL HOUSING NEEDS THIS BILL
FINALLY FIX THAT PROBLEM BY
REQUIRING EIGHT CD TO DEVELOP A

. IF NOT I WOULD THIS TIME WE'LL
GO TO OPPOSITION TO HAVE ANY
OPPOSITION WITNESSES IN

WITNESS FOR THE OPPOSITION VERY
GOOD GO AHEAD SIR GOOD AFTERNOON
CHAIRS ARE TWO MEMBERS OF THE
COMMITTEE. CHRISLEY HERE TODAY
ON BEHALF OF THE URBAN COUNTIES
OF CALIFORNIA IT'S AN
ASSOCIATION OF THE FOURTEEN
LARGEST COUNTIES. IN CALIFORNIA
AS WELL AS THE LEAGUE OF
CALIFORNIA CITIES THE RURAL
COUNTY REPRESENTATIVES OF
CALIFORNIA AND THE CALIFORNIA
CHAPTER OF THE AMERICAN PLANNING
ASSOCIATION WE ALL HAVE AN
OPPOSE POSITION ON THE BILL AS
IN PRINT. WHEN I THINK THE
COMMITTEE FOR A GOOD ANALYSIS
THAT RECOGNIZED A LOT OF THE
ISSUES THAT WE WERE RAISING WITH
THE BILL. AND LOOK FORWARD TO
REVIEWING THE AMENDMENTS I THINK
THE APPROACH OUTLINED IN THE
ANALYSIS HAS SOME MERIT. BUT I
THINK WE WANT TO REALLY
CAREFULLY CONSIDER WHAT ARE THE
COMPONENTS OF THE PILOT PROJECT.
WHERE THE REQUIREMENTS THERE TO
LOCAL JURISDICTIONS HAVE THE
OPPORTUNITY TO OPT IN. AND JUST
HEARD TODAY ABOUT THE POSTING
REQUIREMENTS THAT'S BEEN
SOMETHING THAT WE'VE HAD ISSUES
WITH IN THE PAST AS WELL SO.
THANK YOU FOR THE AMENDMENTS
TODAY LOOK FORWARD TO CONTINUING
OUR WORK WITH THE AUTHOR WE HAVE
A LOT OF RESPECT FOR. AND THANK
YOU. I THANK YOU VERY MUCH TO
HAVE ANY OF BODY ELSE WHO'S AND
MAYBE OPPOSITION. NOT SEEN
ANYBODY WHO COMING TO THE MIKE-
EIGHTEEN T. OPERATORS WILL GO TO
THE PHONE LINES FOR OPPOSITION
OR SUPPORT FOR. THIS BILL. SB
FOUR OH FIVE. OF COURSE PLAYED
IN IF YOU WISH TO MAKE A COMMENT
SUPPORT OR OPPOSITION. ONE ZERO.
THERE'S CURRENTLY FILLING
QUEUING UP WITH THIS. WELL THEN
IN THAT CASE WE'LL BRING IT BACK
TO THE DÍAS MISTER. SENATOR
BLAKE'S BEER DO YOU HAVE A
QUESTION HOW DID YOU KNOW. GO
AHEAD. THANK YOU- TO THE AUTHOR
FOR BRINGING THIS BILL FORWARD I
JUST WANT TO SAY THAT I HAVE I
WANT TO SAY ON THE RECORD I
PREFER THE ORIGINAL BILL WITHOUT
THE AMENDMENT- I THINK IT'S
REALLY IMPORTANT THAT WE THINK
ABOUT THE RENEWAL PROCESS AND-
ITS CAPACITY TO PROVIDE HOUSING
AS WE KNOW THE PHRASE GARBAGE IN
GARBAGE OUT. IF WE DON'T HAVE
GOOD SIZE THAT ARE GOING INTO
THE PROCESS THAT ARE LIKELY TO
PRODUCE HOUSING WE'RE NOT GOING
TO HAVE HOUSING COMING OUT THE
OTHER END- SO I WANTED TO
UNDERSTAND BETTER I'M- REVIEWING
WHAT IT SAYS HERE THAT IT SAYS.
THE OTHERS AGREED TO AMEND THE
BILL TO CREATE A LIKELIHOOD OF
DEVELOPMENT METHODOLOGY.
STARTING WITH A PILOT PROGRAMS I
DON'T FULLY UNDERSTAND WHAT THAT
MEANS BUT I WOULD WAS WONDERING
IF. YOU OR ANYBODY. LEAVITT
MISTER STAFF OR ANYONE YOU LIKE
CALLING COULD EXPLAIN THAT TO ME
LET ME TAKE A STAB AT IT IF I'M-
LEAVING TO FIND EFFICIENT AND-
WE CAN GO LEAD WITNESS- THE BILL
RECENTLY AS RISEN DRAFTED WAS.
ADMITTEDLY HEAVY ON NOTIFICATION
PROCESSES- IN THAT PROBABLY
WASN'T. A GOOD THING FOR. YOU
KNOW THE LONG TERM-
SURVIVABILITY OF THIS BILL-
AGAIN THE WAY IT WAS WRITTEN BY
I THINK CONCEPTUALLY- THERE ARE
ALWAYS. TO COME BACK IN THE
FUTURE DEAL WITH THE ISSUE A LOT
MORE EFFECTIVELY AND EFFICIENTLY
THAN. THE WAY WE ORIGINALLY
OUTLINED IT BUT IN THE
MEANWHILE- THE METHODOLOGY
THAT'S OUTLINED IN THE
AMENDMENTS- IS WORTH EXPLORING.
YOU KNOW IN A- ON A PILOT BASIS
AND- AS YOU KNOW FROM YOUR LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS SENATOR YOU KNOW
THAT WOULD. SIMPLY TAKE ONE
REGION. ONE REACHES WILLINGNESS
ONE CALLED BASICALLY TO COME
ALONG IF THEY WERE WILLING TO-
YOU KNOW TAKE THIS ON. WHICH YOU
KNOW WILL YIELD UP A LOT OF
REALLY GOOD INFORMATION FOR US
AND- I THINK BALANCE THINGS OUT
YOU KNOW THE YOU KNOW THE
TENSION THERE'S BEEN- WE ARE THE
OPPOSITION TODAY WE LISTENED
CAREFULLY AND WORK WITH THEM
CAREFULLY AND WE WILL CONTINUE
TO DO SO IN THE FUTURE BUT-
LET'S FACE IT. THERE'S THAT THE
TENSION- YOU KNOW BETWEEN A CD
REGIONAL ENTITIES AND LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS IS GOING TO BE
THERE. NO MATTER HOW WE TRY TO
CLEAN THIS UP IN THE FUTURE I
JUST THINK THIS IS A WAY FOR US
TO MOVE FORWARD. IN ONE. COULD
INCREMENTAL STEPS. OKAY YEAH I
MEAN I WOULD JUST SAY I DON'T
THINK THIS IS ONE OF THOSE
THINGS THAT IT JUST DOESN'T SEEM
TO ME LIKE WE REALLY NEED TO
OVER THINK IT. SO WHEN MY CITY
WAS IN LITIGATION OVER OUR
HOUSING ELEMENT EIGHT CITY
REQUIRED A LETTER OF INTEREST
FROM A PROPERTY OWNER IN ORDER
TO BE ON THE ON THE LIST. AND SO
YOU KNOW IF THERE WAS AN IDEA TO
HAVE A PROPERTY- AND ONE COUNCIL
MEMBER SAID WHAT ABOUT THAT
PROPERTY THEN THE CITY STAFF
WOULD SAY WELL IN FACT WE WROTE
THEM A LETTER AND THEY SAID
THAT. THEY'RE NOT INTERESTED IN
DEVELOPMENT BECAUSE YOU CAN'T GO
HIGHER ON THAT SITE AND THEY
WANT TO AND WHATEVER THE REASONS
WERE SO THAT WAS INSTRUCTIVE
BACK TO THE COUNCIL TO MAKE
DECISIONS. SO TO ME IT SEEMS
LIKE HAVING. I UNDERSTAND THEIR
STAFF CONSTRAINTS AT THE CITY
LEVEL BUT- HAVING A PROCESS THAT
STRAIGHT FORWARD. GETTING A
LETTER RECEIVING ONE BACK. TO ME
THAT SEEMS LIKE SOMETHING THAT
COULD BE POSSIBLE IN THE FUTURE
IT SEEMS LIKE THIS THERE MIGHT
BE. MANY GENERATIONS OF THIS
IDEA. SO I JUST WANTED TO PUT
THAT OUT THERE AS AS MY
FEEDBACK. THANK YOU. I WILL BE
SUPPORTING IT TODAY. THANK YOU
APPRECIATE THE FEEDBACK AND- I
THINK- IN MY OWN MIND THOSE
THOUGHTS ARE NOT- EXCLUSIVELY.
EXCLUSIVE TO THIS APPROACH RIGHT
NOW THIS IS A PROBABILITY. OF
METHODOLOGY IS SOMETHING THAT.
IS WORTH IS WORTH. GOING FORWARD
WITH RIGHT NOW BUT- IF YOU WANT
TO THE BILL YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT
I'D BE HAPPY TO BE. YOUR
PRINCIPAL CO AUTHOR SO.
HOPEFULLY WE CAN WE CAN KEEP
PURSUING- YOU KNOW THIS ISSUE
AREAS I JUST WANNA MAKE IT CLEAR
THAT. YOU KNOW IT GIVEN ALL THE
WORK TO COMMITTEE STUFF IS DONE
THE TEST ON THE TABLE. RIGHT
NOW- JUSTICE METHODOLOGY AND-
I'M HAPPY TO PROCEED THIS WAY.
THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT IF ANY OF
MY OTHER COLLEAGUES HAVE
QUESTIONS I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU
TO GET OVER TO THE EXPRESS
ELEVATOR DOWN TO THE SECOND
FLOOR IN ROOM TWENTY TWO HUNDRED
AND- AND JOIN US- BUT WITH THAT.
MISTER CORTESE WOULD YOU LIKE TO
CLOSE. YES AS I SAID WILL
CONTINUE WORKING- ON THE DETAILS
OF THIS- ANY THAT REMAIN TO BE
ADDRESSED- EITHER WITH
OPPOSITION CODE HERE THAT THE
LIKE THE AMENDMENTS AND WITH
OTHER RESPECTFULLY ASK YOUR
RIVAL. AND WHEN THAT APPROPRIATE
TIME COMES WILL- GET A MOTION TO
DO THAT AND AFTER WE'VE STEP
SHOULD QUORUM. SO AT THIS TIME
I'M GONNA TURN THE GAVEL BACK
OVER. APPARENTLY NOT TO MISTER
KURTZ SIXTY. CURRENTLY GOING TO
KEEP GOING. LOOKING FOR AUTHORS
. SO IF YOU'RE AN AUTHOR OF A
BILL THAT IS ON THE HOUSING
COMMITTEE AGENDA TODAY GET DOWN
HERE FIRST COME FIRST SERVE
RIGHT NOW.
OKAY. THIS TIME THE HOUSING
COMMITTEES GOING TO RECESS FOR A
FEW MINUTES WE HAVE CONFLICTING
COMMITTEES GOING ON AND SO- SO
WE'LL RESEARCH WE WILL RECESS.
FOR UNTIL WE GET AN AUTHORED A
COME ON IN. THANK YOU.
BOB GOOD AFTERNOON WHERE ARE
RESUMING OUR AG COMMITTEE ON
HOUSING WE HAVE A CENTER WILL
HOP- WILL CONSIDER IT WILL HOPE
YOU'RE HERE TO PRESENT BUILD
NUMBER. FIVE FIVE. FIVE FIVE
FIVE YES PLEASE PROCEED WHEN
YOU'RE READY THANK YOU- GOOD
AFTERNOON CHAIR AND MEMBERS OF
THE HOUSING COMMITTEE I WANT TO
THANK THE SPONSORS AND THE MANY
ORGANIZATIONS IN SUPPORT OF SB
FIVE FIVE FIVE THE VISION FOR
THIS BILL IS SUPPORTED BY STATE
WIDE COALITION OF ORGANIZATIONS
BECAUSE WE ALL KNOW THAT TO
SOLVE THE SHORTAGE OF STABLE
AFFORDABLE HOUSING WE CANNOT
CONTINUE TO. NIBBLE AROUND THE
EDGES OF THIS PROBLEM I HAVE
OFTEN TALKED ABOUT ONE NO YES
THE HOUSING PROBLEM IS ONE OF
THE THINGS THAT WE NEED TO FOCUS
ON IN REGARDS TO DEVELOPMENT BUT
IT'S NOT DEVELOPMENT ALONE. MANY
ON BOTH SIDES OF THE AISLE
ACKNOWLEDGE THAT WE HAVE A LONG
TERM SHORTAGE OF AFFORDABLE
HOUSING THE CURRENT SYSTEM OF
POLICIES DO MOVE THE NEEDLE FROM
TAX CREDITS TO DENSITY BONUS
LAWS TO INCLUSIONARY
REQUIREMENTS TO RENTAL
ASSISTANCE ALL OF THESE TOOLS
ARE HELPFUL BUT THEY STILL RELY
PRIMARILY ON PRIVATE FOR PROFIT
DEVELOPMENT WHICH WILL NEVER GET
US THE AMOUNT OF LOW INCOME
AFFORDABLE HOUSING WE DO NEED.
WITHOUT COORDINATED PURPOSEFUL
ACTION TO INVEST IN AND BUILD
THE HOUSING PEOPLE NEED
AFFORDABLE HOUSING CRISIS IN
CALIFORNIA WILL CONTINUE TO
WORSEN IN FACT 80% OF LOW INCOME
RENTERS OR RENT BURDEN AND
MEANING THEY PAY OVER 30% OF
THEIR INCOME TOWARDS RENT WE
KNOW THAT 25% OF RENTERS SPEND
MORE THAN HALF OF THEIR INCOME
ON RENT ALONE. IN FACT THE-
ACTUAL POVERTY LINE. DEFINITION
DOES NOT EVEN INCLUDE HOUSING-
AND YOU KNOW THESE ARE JUST ALL
THE THINGS THAT CLEARLY SHOW
THAT WE HAVE SIGNIFICANT
PROBLEMS WORD ADDRESSING
HOUSING. AND AFFORDABILITY OUR
MOST VULNERABLE POPULATIONS SUCH
AS SENIORS PEOPLE WITH
DISABILITIES AND FOSTER FOSTER
YOUTH TO WHOM WE OWE A SPECIFIC
DUTY. OF CARE OR
DISPROPORTIONATELY AFFECTED BY
THIS CRISIS. FOR EXAMPLE 46% OF
ALL EXTREMELY LOW INCOME
HOUSEHOLDS ARE SENIORS OR PEOPLE
WITH DISABILITIES. AND OLDER
ADULTS ARE THE FASTEST GROWING
AGE SEGMENT OF THE HOMES
POPULATION AS THE NUMBER OF
SIXTY FIVE YEAR OLD WHO
EXPERIENCE HOMELESSNESS IS
ESTIMATED TO TRIPLE BY TWENTY
THIRTY. TO MEET THE GROWING
NEEDS OF THESE CALIFORNIA'S THE
STATE NEEDS TO FACILITATE THE
DEVELOPMENT OF MORE THAN ONE
HUNDRED FORTY THOUSAND. LOW
INCOME AFFORDABLE UNITS
ANNUALLY. OVER THE NEXT EIGHT
YEARS. CURRENTLY WE ARE FAR FROM
MEETING THIS DEMAND AS DEED
RESTRICTED LOW INCOME AFFORDABLE
UNIT DEVELOPMENT REMAINS BELOW
TWENTY THOUSAND. PER YEAR FOR
EACH YEAR WE FAIL TO MEET OUR
LOW INCOME AFFORDABLE HOUSING
NEED WE FURTHER. AND FURTHER GET
AWAY FROM THE GOAL OF MAKING
SURE THAT ALL PEOPLE ARE HOUSED
SB FIVE FIVE FIVE SETS THE
AMBITIOUS GOAL TO CREATE ONE
POINT TWO MILLION LOW INCOME
AFFORDABLE HOUSING- UNITS OVER
THE NEXT FIVE AND TEN YEAR
PERIODS THE DEPARTMENT OF
HOUSING AND COMMUNITY
DEVELOPMENT. WILL BE RESPONSIBLE
FOR DEVELOPING A MASTER PLAN TO
ACHIEVE THESE GOALS THIS MASTER
PLAN WILL OUTLINE SPECIFIC STATE
ACTIONS FOR THE ACQUISITION
PRESERVATION AND PRODUCTION OF
STABLE AFFORDABLE HOUSING. BY
PERMANENTLY SHELTERING THESE
UNITS. FROM PERVERSE MARKET
FORCES WE CAN ENSURE THAT THEY
REMAIN AFFORDABLE FOR THOSE WHO
NEED THEM THE MOST SB FIVE FIVE
FIVE PUTS CALIFORNIA ON A
REALISTIC PATH TO ADDRESSING THE
HOUSING CRISIS. IMPROVING THE
LIVES OF LOWER AND MIDDLE INCOME
RESIDENTS AND REDUCING
HOMELESSNESS. FINALLY I WOULD
LIKE TO INTRODUCE SHANTI SINGH

EVERYWHERE IN BETWEEN. OUR
MEMBERS HAVE INCREASINGLY BEEN
LOOKING TO SOCIAL HOUSING
SOLUTIONS AS A NECESSARY TOOL TO
AND OUR HOUSING SHORTAGE- WE'RE
REALLY PROUD TO BE HERE WITH
BROAD SUPPORT FROM HOUSING
ENVIRONMENT LABOR AND OTHER
GROUPS ACROSS CALIFORNIA. I'M
JUST A LITTLE BIT. ABOUT THE
BILL I ON SB FIVE FIFTY FIVE
ACCOMMODATES AN ENTIRE MIXED
INCOME SPECTRUM OF REDFORD AND
CALIFORNIANS FROM EXTREMELY LOW
TO MODERATE INCOME. IF YOU ARE
FACING DIFFICULTY IN ACCESSING
THE HOUSING MARKET IF YOU'RE
OPPORTUNITIES TO BUILD WEALTH
AND STABILITY ARE THREATENED BY
REAL ESTATE SPECULATION IN ANY
COMMUNITY. SOCIAL HOUSING SHOULD
BE A CHOICE THAT IS AVAILABLE TO
YOU. WHAT SB FIVE FIVE FIVE
DOESN'T SET INTO MOTION AN
ACTION PLAN FOR BOTH HOUSING
ACQUISITION AND PRODUCTION.
WHETHER BECAUSE OF EXPIRING DEED
RESTRICTIONS FOR SPECULATION ON
NATURALLY OCCURRING AFFORDABLE
HOUSING WE ARE LOSING HOUSING
OPTIONS FOR RENT BURDEN OR COST
BURDEN CALIFORNIANS FASTER THAN
WE CAN BUILD THEM RIGHT NOW.
WHILE MEASURES TO REDUCE
BARRIERS TO AFFORDABLE HOUSING
CONSTRUCTION ARE CRITICAL PART
OF THE EQUATION WE ALSO NEED TO
HAVE A CONCURRENT CONVERSATION
ABOUT THE INVESTMENT AND
RESOURCES THAT WE'RE GOING TO
ROUTE THAT ARE GOING TO BE
REQUIRED. TO MAKE PROJECTS
POSSIBLE. I'LL SAY THAT LOS
ANGELES SAN FRANCISCO WHERE I
LIVE PERSONALLY OAKLAND AND
OTHER CITIES HAVE RECENTLY
PASSED INITIATIVES TO AUTHORIZE
AND FUND MANY SOCIAL HOUSING
MODELS WE SENIOR LAND TRUST
FORMING IN THE CENTRAL VALLEY
AND INLAND EMPIRE. CALIFORNIANS
ARE TAKING LOCAL INITIATIVE BUT
WE NEED TO STATE LEVEL ACTION
PLAN THAT IS SENSITIVE TO LOCAL
CONDITIONS WHILE IDENTIFYING
UNDER UTILIZE THE RESOURCES LIKE
FINANCING MECHANISMS ON TOP
PUBLIC LANDS ETCETERA. TO HELP
BRING DOWN COSTS. SB FIVE FIFTY
FIVE WOULD INTERESTS EACH CD
WITH THE SAME EXPERTISE THAT
THEY BROUGHT TO BEAR DURING OUR
HOUSING ELEMENT PROCESS
COORDINATING WITH LOCAL AGENCIES
NONPROFITS INTENDS ON THE GROUND
. IT'S INTENTIONALLY FLEXIBLE
ACROSS A RANGE OF ALTERNATIVE
HOUSING MODELS THAT REFLECT THE
DIVERSITY OF NEEDS AND ON THE
GROUND REALITIES IN THE STATE IS
BIGGEST CALIFORNIA. REPUBLICAN
NONPROFIT OPERATED RENTAL
HOUSING TO CO HOUSING LAND
TRUSTS AND PRIMITIVELY CURRENTLY
AFFORDABLE EQUITY COOPERATIVE
OWNERSHIP OPPORTUNITIES. WE KNOW
THAT THE STATE NEEDS TO HAVE
BROAD AND DIFFICULT
CONVERSATIONS BIGGER THAN ONE
BILL OR ONE BUDGET CYCLE ABOUT
LONG TERM RESOURCES AND
INVESTMENT IN HOUSING AND WE
RESPECTFULLY URGE I'VE ON SB
FIVE FIFTY FIVE TO. HELP MOVE
THIS CONVERSATION FORWARD THANK
YOU. THANK YOU VERY MUCH DO YOU
HAVE ANY OTHER LEAD WITNESSES.
IN SUPPORT OF SB FIVE FIVE.
WELCOME I. THANK YOU GOOD
AFTERNOON I THANK YOU FOR HAVING
ME MY NAME'S JEANINE NKOSI I AM
A PROFESSOR OF SOCIOLOGY AT
FRESNO STATE. THE DIRECTOR OF
HOUSING FOR FAITH IN THE VALLEY
AND WE ORGANIZE ACROSS FIVE
COUNTIES OF THE SAN JOAQUIN
VALLEY. THREE HUNDRED AND THIRTY
SIX MILES THIRTEEN CITIES
REPRESENTING EIGHTY THOUSAND
FAMILIES THAT ARE ABSOLUTELY
BEING TRAUMATIZED AND CRUSHED.
UNDER THE REAL ESTATE SPECULUM
MARKET- I RECENTLY GOT TO TRAVEL
TO VIENNA WITH SOME OF YOUR
COLLEAGUES- AND BEAR WITNESS TO.
AN INCREDIBLE SOCIAL HOUSING
SYSTEM- IT WAS REALLY INCREDIBLE
TO BE THERE TO US TO SEE THAT.
YOU KNOW VIENNA IS THE WORLD
LEADER IN TACKLING HOMELESSNESS.
A HUNDRED YEARS AGO- THEY HAD
THE WORST HOUSING SYSTEM IN ALL
OF EUROPE BUT TODAY THEY ARE A
BEACON- OF WHAT IS POSSIBLE WHEN
WE TRANSFORM HOUSING. AWAY FROM
THE SPECTER OF MARKET- A HUNDRED
YEARS AGO THEIR SYSTEM WAS
SIMILAR TO WHAT WE'RE
EXPERIENCING IN SOME WAYS IN
CALIFORNIA THEY HAD A POPULATION
OF ABOUT TWO MILLION. THIRTY
THOUSAND PEOPLE WERE VISIBLY ON
HOWELLS AND THOUSANDS MORE WERE
LIVING AND TRAPPED IN SLUM
CONDITIONS- TODAY THEY HAVE A
POPULATION OF ABOUT ONE POINT
NINE MILLION. AND THERE IS
VIRTUALLY NO WHAT THE VISIBLE ON
THE HOUSE TO PEOPLE THE MOST
RECENT ESTIMATES. SHOW THAT ON
AS FAR AS PEOPLE WHO DON'T HAVE
A ROOF WE'RE TALKING ABOUT FOLKS
THAT ARE IN THE HUNDREDS. I'M
COMPARE THAT TO LOS ANGELES A
POPULATION OF AROUND THREE POINT
EIGHT MILLION WHERE WE KNOW THAT
THERE ARE TWENTY EIGHT THOUSAND
DOCUMENTED ON HOUSE FOLKS OR SAN
DIEGO WHERE THERE'S A POPULATION
OF ONE POINT THREE MILLION. AND
THERE ARE FOUR THOUSAND ON
HEALTH FOLKS- THERE'S SO MANY
THINGS THAT I WISH THE I COULD
SHARE WITH YOU A VIA BECAUSE
THEY ARE GETTING SO MANY THINGS
RIGHT HISTORICALLY AND- TODAY.
BUT I ONLY HAVE TIME JUST SHARE
A FEW THINGS AND ONE OF THE
THINGS IS THAT THE GOVERNMENT
OBSERVED WHAT WAS HAPPENING. THE
TERRIBLE LIVING CONDITIONS THAT
PEOPLE WERE WERE SUFFERING
THROUGH AND THEY PRIORITIZE
HOUSING AS THEIR NUMBER ONE
PRIORITY AND THEY DECLARED A
COMMITMENT TO MAKE HOUSING A
HUMAN RIGHT THAT'S WHAT SB FIVE
FIVE FIVE IS GOING TO DO. IS
GOING TO SET CALIFORNIA ON A
PATHWAY FOR REALIZING HOUSING AS
A HUMAN RIGHT. THE OTHER THING
THAT THEY DID WAS THEY INVESTED
IN AND INSTITUTIONALIZE THE
SETTLEMENT MOVEMENT SO ALL OF
THOSE TENS OF THOUSANDS OF
PEOPLE THAT I WAS TELLING YOU.
THEY TOOK UP- IT LANDS ON THE
PERIPHERY OF THE CITY BAY BUILT
HOUSING THEY GREW THEIR OWN FOOD
THEY CULTIVATED THE LAND THEY
CREATED A PUBLIC CONSTRUCTION
COMPANY A PUBLIC UTILITY. AND
THE GOVERNMENT INVESTED IN THOSE
SYSTEMS THEY FORMED COOPERATIVE
ASSOCIATIONS AND WE LEARNED WHEN
WE WERE THERE. 80% OF THE
COOPERATIVE COMPANIES THAT WERE
FORMED THEN ARE STILL IN
EXISTENCE. TODAY- DEANNA HAS
BEEN ON A HUNDRED YEAR JR- WE'RE
NOT GOING TO GET THEIR OWN. WE
HAVE A LONG WAY TO GO BUT WE
HAVE A BLUEPRINT FOR WHAT'S
POSSIBLE- WE HAVE AN ESTABLISHED
INFRASTRUCTURE WE HAVE COMMUNITY
LAND TRUST WE HAVE CDC'S WE HAVE
PUBLIC HOUSING AUTHORITIES. WE
HAVE A MISSION DRIVEN AFFORDABLE
HOUSING DEVELOPERS AND
COOPERATIVES AND THE THING ABOUT
SOCIAL HOUSING WHICH WE HEARD
FROM SHANTI IS THAT IT COMES IN
MANY FORMS FROM MUNICIPAL YOU
MUNICIPAL OWNED HOUSING.
COOPERATIVES TO LIMITED HOUSING
ON PARTNERSHIPS- TO GENTLE
DENSITY RENEWABLE TEMPORARY
EMERGENCY HOUSING AND SO I
REALLY ENCOURAGE ALL OF YOU TO
VOTE YES. ON SB FIVE BY FIVE SO
THAT WE CAN PUT CALIFORNIA ON A
PATHWAY TO TRANSFORMING OUR
SOCIAL HOUSING AND SCALING IT UP

OF THE COMMITTEE JENNIFER SPOKE
ABOUT THE CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION
OF REALTORS HERE IN OPPOSITION
TO SB FIVE FIVE FIVE. WE'RE
SPECIFICALLY SEEKING AMENDMENTS
TO EXEMPT ACQUISITION OF-
MARGUERITE HOUSING. REMEMBER TEN
YEARS AGO WE HAD A MEDIAN
HOUSING PRICE OF JUST THREE
HUNDRED TO FOUR HUNDRED THOUSAND
DOLLARS WITHIN THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA WE CONTINUALLY SUFFER
FROM HOUSING SHORTAGE AND WE ARE
TWO POINT FIVE MILLION UNITS
SHORT OF WHAT WE NEED IN ORDER
TO SATISFY DEMAND. ONE POINT
FIVE MILLION OF THOSE UNITS ARE
MARKET RATE UNITS THAT CREATE
HOUSING AFFORDABLE THE
OPPORTUNITIES FOR ENTRY LEVEL
MARKET RATE FAMILIES THAT ARE
SEEKING TO CREATE WEALTH
OPPORTUNITIES AND GENERATIONAL
WEALTH. THE BILL CURRENTLY
PERMITS THE ACQUISITION OF
SINGLE FAMILY HOMES AS WELL AS
OTHER OPPORTUNITIES WITHIN ITS
WITHIN ITS PURVIEW WE ARE ASKING
THAT THE BILL IF IT'S REALLY
INTENDED TO CREATE HOUSING
SUPPLY WITHIN THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA THAT THE RESOURCES
THAT ARE CREATED WITH IN IT. ARE
USED TO CREATE NEW HOUSING NEW
HOUSING IS WHAT WE NEED THE IDEA
THAT WE SIMPLY MOVE THE DECK
CHAIRS AROUND ON THIS ON A SHIP
THAT'S SINKING FROM HOUSING
AFFORDABILITY IS NOT THE RIGHT
THING TO DO. WE'RE LOOKING AT A
MEDIAN HOUSING PRICE OF EIGHT
HUNDRED AND TWENTY THOUSAND
DOLLARS EVEN WITH REALLY HIGH
INTEREST RATES BETWEEN FIVE AND
7% WHICH WE HAVEN'T SEEN IN OVER
FIFTEEN YEARS. WHAT WE
APPRECIATE THE AUTHOR'S GOALS WE
REALLY DO WANT TO BE A PARTNER
IN CREATING A SUPPLY SOLUTIONS
TO THIS PROBLEM AND AGAIN TO
RESPECTFULLY REQUEST THAT THE
ACQUISITION OF SINGLE FAMILY
HOMES BE REMOVED FROM THE BILL.

THINGS I WANT TO SAY THE FIRST
IS. ARI I ABSOLUTELY AGREE THAT
THE PRIVATE SECTOR SHOULD NOT BE
PRIME PRIMARILY AND EXCLUSIVELY
RESPONSIBLE FOR BUILDING
AFFORDABLE HOUSING IN THE STATE
I THINK THAT HAS NOT WORKED AND
SO HAVING PUBLIC SECTOR
INVOLVEMENT IN BUILDING
AFFORDABLE HOUSING SO THAT WE
CAN. AND WILL REDUCE AND THEN
ELIMINATE OUR HOMELESS
POPULATION AND THE SUFFERING
THAT GOES ALONG WITH LIVING
OUTSIDE AND NOT HAVING A HOME TO
CALL ONE'S OWN I THINK SHOULD BE
A TOP STATE PRIORITY- I
APPRECIATE THAT THIS BILL HOUSES
THAT RESPONSIBILITY IN H. CD
BECAUSE TO ME IT MAKES SENSE
CONCEPTUALLY THAT. THAT THAT IS
THE BRANCH AND THE ARM OF OUR
GOVERNMENT THAT IS- MANAGING
HOUSING AND SO THIS THIS SHOULD
BE A RESPONSIBILITY OF A CD AND
I HOPE THAT WE CAN CONTINUE TO
EMPOWER THEM TO TAKE THIS ON AS
A AS A ROLL. IT'S REALLY
IMPORTANT WE HAVE AN ACTION PLAN
FOR PRODUCTION AND THAT WE
ACTUALLY PRODUCE SO I'M
INTERESTED IN BOTH OF THOSE
THINGS BUT NOT EXCLUSIVELY THE
PLAN BUT THE ACTUAL. PRODUCTION
SO- SO I WILL DEFINITELY BE
SUPPORTING THIS TODAY AND- HOPE
TO CONTINUE DOING A LOT MORE IN
THIS AREA. THANK YOU FOR
BRINGING FOR THANK YOU. THANK
YOU CENTER PLACE HERE TO HAVE
ANY OTHER COMMENTS SENATE'S. SO
THIS IS IT. SUBJECT BE TACKLING
- IT'S BEEN TRIED TO TACKLE
PEOPLE OF TACKLED IT BEFORE- WE
HAVE AN UP HILL CLIMB IN IN THIS
RESPECT BECAUSE- CALIFORNIA I
THINK IS. FAILED MISERABLY ALONG
WITH THE REST OF THE NATION. AND
CREATING PUBLIC HOUSING. AND SO
HAS A STIGMA ATTACHED TO IT THAT
WE HAVE TO OVERCOME- BUT THERE'S
ALSO THE ISSUE OF WHAT'S
HAPPENED HERE IN CALIFORNIA
SPECIFICALLY. AND SPECIFICALLY
WE JUST DIDN'T KEEP UP WITH OUR
HOUSING BECAUSE WE HAD A LOT OF
REGULATIONS THAT IMPEDED THE
PROGRESS. OF BUILDING HOUSING.
AND THAT'S NOT JUST HOUSING AT
THE AT THE AFFORDABLE RATE-
THERE USED TO BE NO SUCH THING
AS THE LOW AFFORDABLE HOUSING
BECAUSE THAT YOU JUST USED TO BE
DEPARTMENTS- WHEN YOU'RE READY
TO MOVE OUT OF MOM AND DAD'S
HOUSE YOU MOVED INTO AN
APARTMENT. SOMETIMES WITH A
FRIEND- SOMETIMES NOT YOU KNOW
YOU JUST- IN BED WHAT WE'VE WHAT
WE'VE CREATED THROUGH THE YEARS
OF TRYING TO HELP PEOPLE. IS WE
LOCK THEM INTO THOSE APARTMENTS
AND NOW THEY DON'T HAVE MOVE UP
THEY DON'T HAVE THE ABILITY TO
GO TO THE NEXT- TOWN HOME AND
BUYING OR A TOWN HOME. AND THEN
THEY DON'T HAVE ENOUGH TO BUY A
HOUSE SO EVERYBODY'S KINDA
LOCKED IN AND DISSOLUTION OF
IT'S CONTINUING TO BUILD WHAT
THEY'RE THE LOWEST AMOUNT THAT
THEY'RE LOCKED INTO THE LOWEST.
PRODUCT THAT THEY'RE LOCKED INTO
I DON'T KNOW IT'S GOING TO HELP
US A LOT- I'M REALLY CONCERNED I
DON'T WANT TO CREATE WHAT WE
HAVE CREATED IN THE PAST.
BECAUSE THEY HAVE- REALLY A
CONCENTRATED- ALL OF THE CORE
THE PEOPLE CAN AFFORD A HOME.
INTO ONE AREA AND THOSE AREAS
HAVE- BECOME REALLY BLIGHTED ARE
OVER THE YEARS THERE BLIGHTED
AND THEY'RE DANGEROUS AND- YOU
KNOW THEY THEY- DIDN'T. PRODUCE
DAYS THINK ABOUT TODAY. AND- SO
IT'S KIND OF HARD TO GET PEOPLE
ON BOARD- TO GO DOWN THIS PATH-
I THINK REMOVING THE BARRIERS-
LIKE WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO DO- TO
ALLOW ALL TYPES OF HOUSING TO BE
BUILT- IS. IT IS PROBABLY AN
APPROACHABLE. I THINK WE NEED TO
CONTINUE TO TAKE AND LET WORK A
LITTLE BIT- BEFORE WE TAKE EVEN
MORE DRASTIC MEASURES- I DON'T
KNOW WHAT THE POLITICS ARE IN
VIENNA I DON'T KNOW HOW THEY YOU
KNOW THEIR- TAX STRUCTURES OR
ANYTHING LIKE THAT I WAS TRYING
TO FIND OUT. I WASN'T NOT PAYING
ATTENTION I JUST DOING RESEARCH
WHAT YOU GUYS ARE TALKING. ABOUT
AND LISTENING AT THE SAME TIME-
SO- YOU KNOW I'M I'M NOT SURE-
DEBT THAT THAT'S SOMETHING THAT
IS- FOR ME IT'S SUPER
SUPPORTABLE RIGHT NOW- BECAUSE I
DO I'D- LIKE TO MAKE SURE THEIR
ASSURANCES THAT WE DON'T. WE
DON'T PRODUCE WHAT WE HAVE DONE
IN THE PAST BECAUSE THEY WOUND
UP BEING. NOBODY TOOK CARE OF
THEM. NOT JUST THE TENANTS BUT
THE STATE WHO OWNED THE HOUSING
DID NOT TAKE CARE OF THEM. AND
THEY THEMSELVES TURNED INTO. A
SOCIAL DISASTER. FOR THE PEOPLE
THAT LIVE THERE. AND AND I
SERVED IN THOSE COMMUNITIES
BEFORE. AND AND THOSE ARE THE
TOUGHEST BUILD AND THOSE ARE THE
TOUGHEST PROJECTS TO GO INTO.
AND THAT WHERE WE NEED THE MOST
PROTECTION WE DID. AND SO YOU
KNOW I FEAR THOSE KIND OF
PROJECTS- YOU GOING DOWN THE
WRONG PATH. AND SO FOR ME I NEED
TO ASSURANCES OF THIS ACTUALLY
TURNS INTO SOMETHING THAT'S
HELPFUL BUT DOESN'T LOCK PEOPLE
INTO. IT INTO THAT THAT. YOU
KNOW SMALL HOUSING. FOREVER YOU
KNOW- I THINK I AND I KNOW A LOT
OF KIDS WHO CAN AFFORD TO MOVE
UP. BUT THEY DON'T HAVE ANYTHING
TO MOVE UP IN AND SO THERE.
THERE'S THEY'RE STAYING IN A
RENT CONTROLLED APARTMENT.
BECAUSE THERE'S NO REASON TO
LEAVE. YES THEY CAN AND THAT
WOULD FREE UP THOSE APARTMENTS.
THERE'S A LOT OF APARTMENTS
BEING BUILT RIGHT NOW AND IN THE
PAST WE BUILT THAT MANY
APARTMENTS. BOY RANCHO DRIVE
DROP. WE NEED TO SEE IF THAT'S
GONNA HAPPEN I'D LIKE TO SEE THE
APARTMENTS THAT ARE COMING ON
BOARD NOW. THAT WERE PLANNED IN
THE TWO THOUSANDS START. COMING
ON BOARD AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS
WITH BRANSON AND SEE WE CAN PUSH
THOSE DOWN- BUT YOU KNOW WITHOUT
OTHER PEOPLE BEING GIVEN THE
OPPORTUNITY TO MOVE UP AND MOVE
UP HOUSING. I DON'T I DON'T KNOW
HOW THIS GETS FIXED THAT WAY SO-
THE THAT'S JUST KIND OF WHERE I
BY SAID I HAVE A LOT OF CONCERNS
ABOUT THIS APPROACH- BUT- YOU
KNOW WHEN PROBABLY IN THE
MINORITY AS FAR AS THOSE
CONCERNS ARE BUT- NOT IN THE
MINORITY OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE
ACTUALLY. GONE INTO THOSE
PROJECTS AND SEEN WHAT THE
RESULT WAS AND SENATOR I DO
APPRECIATE YOUR CONCERNS ABOUT
THIS I THINK IT'S A CONCERNS
THAT MANY OF US ACTUALLY DO
SHARE- I WANT TO HIGHLIGHT A
COUPLE THINGS NUMBER ONE THAT
THIS. IS A PLAN RATE- AND SO AS
THIS IS INITIATED. I YOU CAN
GENUINELY SHARE YOUR CONCERNS
WITH EACH CD. AS THEY
INCORPORATE A MASTER PLAN TO
DEVELOP MORE AFFORDABLE HOUSING-
I DO ALSO WANT TO STATE THAT-
IT'S NOT JUST THE STATE
GOVERNMENT THAT HAS SOME
SIGNIFICANT. INFLUENCE ON
HOUSING AND THE STATE HAS
LARGELY IN THE LAST COUPLE YEARS
FOCUSED MORE ON DEVELOPMENT AND
TRYING TO STREAMLINE SOME OF THE
CONCERNS YOU HAVE TO MAKE IT.
EASIER AND SIMPLER FOR
DEVELOPERS- I FULLY SUPPORT
THOSE EFFORTS BUT I ALSO WANT TO
HIGHLIGHT THAT LOCAL LAND USE
LAWS OR CREATED AT THE LOCAL
LEVEL AS WELL SO EACH CITY IS
VERY DIFFERENT SO. WHEN YOU
REFERENCE ON A RENT CONTROL RENT
CONTROL ALSO IS- YOU KNOW-
DECIDED UPON BY THE LOCAL
JURISDICTIONS NUMBER ONE- WHEN
WE TALK AND I SERVED IN THE
LOCAL- CITY COUNCIL- WHEN WE
TALK ABOUT IN LIEU FEES. RATE
ABOVE MARKET RATE HOUSING IS A
PRIORITY FOR A LOT OF CITIES
BECAUSE THEY RELY ON THE-
REVENUE GENERATED BY THE
PROPERTY TAX OF HIGHER INCOME
HOMES. AND OFTENTIMES THOSE IN
LIEU FEES YOU KNOW- OR PAID TO.
ENSURE THAT THERE'S A BUCKET OF
MONEY THAT CAN DEVELOP THE 1100%
AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND SO FORTH
SO. THAT IS ONE OF THE CONCERNS
THAT I HAVE I PERSONALLY BELIEVE
AS AS A- AS A PRINCIPAL. AT THAT
LOW VERY LOW AND EXTREMELY LOW
INCOME HOUSING SHOULD BE
ATTACHED TO ALL TYPES OF
DEVELOPMENTS. IN ORDER TO MAKE
SURE THAT WE AVOID AS YOU
STATED- AREAS THAT ARE MORE
BLIGHTED AND SO FORTH- I THINK
WE HAVE A LOT OF WORK TO DO IN
MAKING SURE THAT THOSE THOSE
RULES ARE ESTABLISHED TO CONTROL
SOME OF THE- THE- EFFORTS THAT
ARE. HAPPENING THAT OR- WELL
INTENTIONED BUT- POTENTIALLY
ALSO MORE HARMFUL SO I THINK
WE'RE IN AGREEMENT ON THAT AND
AGAIN THAT THIS THIS IS
PRIMARILY JUST A- A STUDY AND A
PLAN TO REALLY UNDERSTAND WHAT
CAN WE DO. WITH INCORPORATING
SOME OF CONCERNS THAT YOU HAVE
THAT I ALSO SHARE. THANK OKAY. I
AM A FULL DO WE HAVE ANY OTHER
MEMBERS WITH ANY COMMENTS OR
QUESTIONS REGARDING SB FIVE FIVE
FIVE. OKAY AND BEFORE YOU MOVE
FORWARD WITH A VOTE WE'RE GOING
TO ESTABLISH A QUORUM. IF ENOUGH
MEMBERS. OF MEN OF SECRETARY
WORK PLEASE CALL THE ROLL. OF
SENATOR WIENER A TROUBLED. HERE
THE TROUBLED PRESENT BLIX HERE.
LIKE THEIR PRESENT CABRERO.
CABRERO PRESENT OR DOES HE- DOES
HE PRESENT MCGUIRE VIDEO. PRETTY
OF. VIDEO PRESENT THERE ARE TWO.
THEIR TO PRESENT SKINNER AABERG
. AS A BIRTHDAY PRESENT BOB. BOB
PRESENT. PERFECT THANK YOU VERY
MUCH FOR YOUR SERVICE A QUORUM-
THANK YOU TO MEMBERS WHO HAVE
MADE IT TO THE- TO THE DÍAS- I
HAD JUST ONE QUESTION FOR YOU
YES AND THAT HAD TO DO WITH THE
CONCERN IS THAT THIS IS JUST A
REALTOR'S TIED. WITH- HAVE YOU
CONSIDERED DOING ARE WORKING
WITH THE ASSOCIATED BUILDERS TO
ADDRESS THE CONCERN OF- TAKING
AMENDMENT TO. EXCLUDE EXISTING
HOUSE. SISTINE HOUSE HOUSES
HOUSING. EXCLUDING HOUSING I
THINK THAT'S WHAT THE COMMENT
WAS RIGHT I'M SORRY THAT WE CAN
CLARIFY. THE WAS A CONCERN. BE A
SINGLE FAMILY ONE TO FOUR SO
THAT'S NOT TYPICALLY WHAT IS
DEFINED AS OWNER OCCUPIED
HOUSING BECAUSE YOU CAN OCCUPY
ONE UNIT AND THEN RUN OUT THE
ADDITIONAL TWO OR THREE. IT ALSO
IS CONTAINED WITHIN EIGHTY YOU
LAW OR YOU CAN HAVE UP TO THREE
UNITS PER PARCEL WHERE YOU HAVE
A SINGLE FAMILY HOME PLUS A
JUNIOR EIGHTY YOU AND EIGHT. SO
WE'RE SEEKING TO DO IS TO
FACILITATE THE ENTRY LEVEL
MARKET RATE HOUSING THAT RUNNING
A REALLY HARD TIME CONSTRUCTING.
WHICH IS CONSISTENT WITH WHAT
THE SENATOR IS LOOKING TO DO TO
CREATE THOSE ENTRY LEVEL
OWNERSHIP OPPORTUNITIES- WOULD
BE TO EXEMPT THE EXISTING ONES
THAT WE HAVE WOULD LIKE TO FIND
MORE WAYS TO DEVELOP. MORE ENTRY
LEVEL HOUSING BUT BUT GIVEN HOW
THE FEE STRUCTURES WERE
GENERALLY WE DO SEE MORE LUXURY
HOUSING GETTING BUILT WHEN YOU
TALK ABOUT ABOVE MARKET RATE
THAT'S WHAT THAT IS TO US. THE
IMPACT THAT IT HAS SO WE ARE
WILLING TO WORK WITH ALL PEOPLE
BUT I ALSO JUST WANNA BE CLEAR
THAT THIS IS A PLAN- WE WANT TO
SEE EXACTLY WHAT THE STUDIES
CLEARLY SHOW US NUMBER ONE.
NUMBER TWO I ALSO WANNA BE VERY
CLEAR THAT THE UNITS THAT ARE
CURRENTLY FOR EXAMPLE IN ALAMEDA
COUNTY WE HAVE. NINE THOUSAND
FOUR HUNDRED SEVENTY FOUR ARE
HOMELESS INDIVIDUALS THAT HAVE
BEEN IDENTIFIED IN THE LAST
POINT IN TIME COUNT WITH OVER
THIRTY THOUSAND VACANT UNITS- TO
THAT'S NUMBER ONE NUMBER TWO IS
THE FACT THAT EIGHTY USE AND
JUNIOR EIGHTY USE. ARE ALREADY
EXEMPTED FROM RENT CONTROL AND A
LOT OF OTHER- THAT.
AFFORDABILITY ACTIONS IF YOU
WILL- SO AS AS I STATED I'M I'M
HAPPY TO WORK WITH ALL PEOPLE
BUT I ALSO JUST ONE HIGHLIGHT
THAT THERE ARES DISCERN THINGS
THAT ARE ALREADY TAKING PLACE-
THAT. PROVIDE FOR A LOT OF
EXEMPTIONS AND- WE NEED TO TAKE
A LOOK AT THE ENTIRE HOUSING
PICTURE. WE'RE TACKLING THE FORD
ABILITY CRISIS NOT JUST- CARVE
OUT TO CARVE OUT TO CARVE OUTS I
THINK THAT. THAT HAS BECOME ONE
OF THE CONCERNS ABOUT A LOT. OF
THE STATE LAWS AND WHAT'S
HAPPENING NOW. THANK YOU. ALL
RIGHT. I SEE NO OTHER COMMENTS
OR QUESTIONS FROM OUR MEMBERS- I
THINK IT WAS LIKE TO CALL THE
ROLL- WE NEED A MOTION SORRY.

WOULD YOU LIKE TO PRESENT BILL

FORMER SENATOR VIDEA I'M WHICH
BILL WOULD YOU LIKE TO TAKE THEM
FIRST- I THINK THE NEXT IN FILE
ITEM ORDER SB THREE FIFTY TWO IF
I MAY PERFECT YES MA'AM. I'M
SURE MEMBERS- IT'S MY PLEASURE
TO BE HERE TODAY TO PRESENT- SB
THREE FIFTY TWO WHICH FOR THE
VERY FIRST TIME WOULD REQUIRE
THE CALIFORNIA WORKFORCE
DEVELOPMENT BOARD IN CONCERT
WITH THE SECRETARY OF LABOR AND
WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT AND THE
DIRECTOR OF HOUSING COMMUNITY
DEVELOPMENT. TO EXAMINE HOUSING
COSTS BY COUNTY AND CREATE A
FORMULA ESTABLISHING HOW MUCH
THE LOCAL MINIMUM WAGE SHOULD BE
FOR A FULL TIME WORKER TO
REASONABLY AFFORD HOUSING AND
BASIC EXPENSES IN THAT COUNTY AS
WELL AS TO CALCULATE STATEWIDE
AVERAGES REPORT THEM TO THE
LEGISLATURE ANNUALLY. IT WOULD
REQUIRE- IT. EXCUSE ME SORRY
BURKE A GROWING SEGMENT MATTER
SHARE AND MEMBERS OF THE WORK
FORCE IN CALIFORNIA IS
ECONOMICALLY STRANDED. WHAT I
MEAN BY THAT IS THAT THE
ECONOMIC MOBILITY THAT THEIR
PREDECESSORS HAD ONLY A FEW
DECADES AGO. DOES NOT EXIST
ANYMORE A LARGER AND LARGER
SEGMENT OF OUR ENTRY LEVEL
WORKFORCE- ARE REQUIRED TO WORK
MORE AND MORE HOURS TO BE MEET
THEIR BASIC NEEDS NO MATTER YOUR
POLITICS OR YOUR PERSPECTIVE
THIS IS SIMPLY NOT SUSTAINABLE
EVEN AS A BUSINESS MODEL.
BECAUSE OF INFLATED IN
PREDOMINATELY RISING HOUSING AND
LIVING COSTS LOW WAGE AND ENTRY
LEVEL WORKERS MUST NOW WORK
UNSUSTAINABLE NUMBER OF HOURS
PER WEEK JUST TO MEET. THE
DEMANDS OF THESE COST IT IS
TRAPPED THEM IN A CYCLE OF
WORKING POVERTY. WHICH ALLOWS
THEM NONE OF THE ECONOMIC
MOBILITY THEIR PREDECESSORS HAD
. CALIFORNIA DOES NOT NOW HAVE
NOR HAS IT EVER. ESTABLISHED A
METHODOLOGY TO DETERMINE A WAGE
STANDARD. THAT ACCOUNTS FOR
INDIVIDUALS COST OF LIVING. SB
THREE FIFTY TWO WOULD CHANGE THE
- INFORMATION IS POWER AND
EFFECTIVE POLICY PUBLIC POLICY
IN THESE CASES SHOULD BE DATA
DRIVEN. I REPRESENT SOME OF THE
POOREST AND MOST DISADVANTAGED
COMMUNITIES IN THE STATE. AND I
BELIEVE THAT OUR SOCIAL CONTRACT
IS BROKEN. WORKERS ARE NOT
PROGRESSING THEY ARE NOT GAINING
SAVING BUILDING WEALTH. SECURING
HOUSING FOR THEIR BASIC NEEDS OR
ADVANCING. THE MARKET VALUE OF
THEIR LABOR. THESE WORKERS ARE
WORKING MORE MANY EIGHTY TO
NINETY HOURS PER WEEK AND THEY
CANNOT AFFORD BASIC HOUSING.
CURRENT DATA INFORMS OF
CALIFORNIA HAS ONE OF THE
HIGHEST A MOST GENEROUS MINIMUM
WAGES IN THE NATION. AT THE VERY
SAME TIME SUFFERS FROM ONE OF
THE HIGHEST POVERTY RATES. IN
THE NATION. DUE TO HIGH LIVING
EXPENSES DRIVEN PRIMARILY BY
HOUSING AND CHILD CARE COST. BY
BACK BY GATHERING DATA WE CAN
BEGIN TO UNDERSTAND THE SCOPE.
OFFICIALLY AT LONG LAST BECAUSE
WE DID ESTABLISH A MINIMUM WAGE
NEARLY A CENTURY AGO. WE CAN
FINALLY BEGIN TO UNDERSTAND THE
SCOPE OF WHAT WORKING POVERTY
LOOKS LIKE IN THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA. WE MUST HONESTLY
ASSESS WHAT THIS LOOKS LIKE IN
ORDER TO EFFECTIVELY ADDRESS IT.
SO WE CAN DEVELOP THOUGHTFUL
STRATEGIES. TO MAKE SURE THAT
NONE OF OUR COMMUNITIES AND-
SEGMENT OF OUR WORKFORCE FALLS
BEHIND. I'M HAPPY TO SAY THAT
WITH ME TODAY FROM THE UNITED
WAYS OF CALIFORNIA IS DANIELLE
BAUTISTA. AND FROM THE UNITED
WAY BAY AREA TO SEAN THOMAS
DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC POLICY.
FOLLOWING THEIR TESTIMONY AND OF
OTHERS I WOULD RESPECTFULLY ASK
FOR AND I FELT. THANK YOU
SENATOR PER DIEM WILL NOW MOVE
ON TO LEAD WITNESSES IN SUPPORT
OF SB THREE FIFTY TWO. PLEASE
PROCEED WHEN YOU'RE READY. HELLO
CHAIR AND NUMBERS MY NAME IS
DANNY ABOUT HIS CELL WITH UNITED
WAYS OF CALIFORNIA AND OUR
ORGANIZATION REPRESENTS- THE
STATE WIDE NETWORK OF ALL LOCAL
UNITED WAYS COVERING ALL
COUNTIES. LAST PROUD SPONSORS OF
SB THREE FIFTY TWO WE SUPPORT
THE CREATION OF A LIVING WAGE
FORMULA THAT WOULD TAKE INTO
ACCOUNT LOCAL HOUSING COSTS AND
THE COST OF BASIC EXPENSES. IN
THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA MINIMUM
WAGE EARNER WOULD HAVE TO WORK
MORE THAN TWO FULL TIME JOBS TO
AFFORD A ONE BEDROOM APARTMENT
MOST MAJOR MARKETS. THOSE WORK
HOURS ALONE ARE ARE NOT
SUSTAINABLE SHOULD SOMEONE
JUGGLING MULTIPLE JOBS BE PUT
INTO A SITUATION WHERE THEY
SHOULD MISS A DAY OR MORE OF
WORK THAT'S MONEY DON'T MISS OUT
ON EARNING ADAM PUTTING TOWARDS
HOUSING BILLS AND MORE. NOW
ACCORDING TO THE U. S.
DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN
DEVELOPMENT HOUSING COSTS TO BE
CONSIDERED AFFORDABLE THESE
TOTAL COST SHOULD NOT EXCEED 30%
OF HOUSEHOLD INCOME. TO PUT THIS
IN PERSPECTIVE FOR THE SIX
REGIONS OF THE STATE THAT THE
SENATE HOUSING COMMITTEE MEMBERS
REPRESENT ALL NOW SHARE WHAT
PERCENTAGE OF HOUSEHOLDS IN THAT
AREA PAY 30% OR MORE ON HOUSING-
AND THE STATISTICS ARE FROM OUR
REAL COST MEASURE WHICH IS OUR
STUDY ON WHAT IT TAKES FOR
HOUSEHOLDS- TO MEET BASIC NEEDS
IN THE STATE. IN THE GREATER LOS
ANGELES REGION IT'S 42% OF
HOUSEHOLDS GREATER SAN DIEGO
REGION IT'S 40% OF HOUSEHOLDS
INLAND EMPIRE REGION 37% OF
HOUSEHOLDS. CENTRAL VALLEY
REGION IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA
REGION BALK AT 36% OF HOUSEHOLDS
AND BAY AREA REGION UP 33% OF
HOUSEHOLDS. HOUSING INFLATION
HOUSING SUPPLY GENERAL INFLATION
AND LOW WAGES HAVE ALL
CONTRIBUTED TO HIGH COST OF
LIVING HERE IN CALIFORNIA. AND
NO ONE KNOWS THAT BETTER THAN
MINIMUM WAGE EARNERS WHO
STRUGGLE TO GET BY. IF SOMEONE
WORKS ONE FULL TIME JOB AT A
MINIMUM THEY SHOULD BE ABLE TO
COVER THEIR HOUSING AND BASIC
EXPENSES. INCLUDING IT BY
SHARING ALTHOUGH CLOSE BY
SHARING THAT THE KNOWLEDGE THAT
SB THREE FIFTY TWO WOULD PROVIDE
WITH A CLEAR TO US WHAT
INVESTMENTS ARE NEEDED. IN ORDER
TO IMPROVE SYSTEM SECOND UP LIFT
CALIFORNIANS. FOR THESE REASONS
UNITED WAY OF CALIFORNIA OFFERS
ITS FULL SUPPORT FOR SB THREE
FIFTY TWO BY SENATOR PER DIEM.
AND URGE YOUR IPHONE THANK YOU.
OKAY AN ADDITIONAL SUPPORT. GOOD
AFTERNOON- CHAIR AND CENTERS MY
NAME IS TO SEAN THOMAS AND I'M
THE PUBLIC POLICY DIRECTOR FOR
THE UNITED WAY BAY AREA. FOR
OVER A HUNDRED YEARS YOU W. B.
A. HAS WORKED TOWARDS CREATING
AN EQUITABLE AREA BY MOBILIZING
THE REGION TO ASSIST PEOPLE
LIVING IN POVERTY. TO DISMANTLE
ITS ROOT CAUSES TODAY I STAND IN
SUPPORT OF SB THREE FIFTY TWO
AND SUPPORT FAN THING SENATORS
TODAY- FOR BRINGING THIS VITAL
PIECE OF LEGISLATION UP FOR
CONSIDERATION. FOR YEARS WAGES
FOR LOW INCOME RESIDENTS AND
WORKING FAMILIES HAVE BECOME
STAGNANT COMPARED TO THE
INCREASING COST OF BASIC NEEDS.
UNITED WAYS OF CALIFORNIA HAS
CREATED A DATA POINT CALL THE
REAL COST MEASURE. UNLIKE THE
OFFICIAL POVERTY MEASURE WHICH
PRIMARILY ACCOUNTS FOR FOOD- THE
REAL COST MEASURE FACTORS THE
COST OF HOUSING HEALTHCARE
CHILDCARE. TRANSPORTATION AND
OTHER BASIC NEEDS TO REVEAL WHAT
IT REALLY COSTS TO LIVE IN
CALIFORNIA. SB THREE FIFTY TWO
OF BRING WOULD HELP BETTER
UNDERSTAND THE FINANCIAL GAPS
FAMILIES HAVE TO MEET THEIR
BASIC NEEDS WHICH IN TURN. GIVE
WAGE EARNERS MORE LEVERAGE TO
ADVOCATE FOR LIVE LATE. SHOW
SINCE THIS IS THE HOUSING
COMMITTEE LET ME BRING IT HOME
TO EACH ONE OF YOU. BY MAKING
YOU AWARE OF THE REAL COST
MANAGER FOR YOUR REGION. OF
COURSE THE BAY AREA HAS THE
HOUSE HI IS HOW COST. FOR A
FAMILY OF FOUR MEANING TO
WORKING ADULTS ONE TODDLER AND
ONE SCHOOL H. TRIAL. IN THE BAY
AREA YOU WOULD NEED AT LEAST A
HUNDRED AND SEVENTY FIVE HUNDRED
AND SEVEN THOUSAND DOLLARS IN
ORDER TO SURVIVE. WITH MARIA IN
SAN FRANCISCO AND SANTA CLARA
COUNTIES EXCEEDING MORE THAN A
HUNDRED AND TWENTY THOUSAND.
ORANGE COUNTY A FAMILY WOULD
NEED AT LEAST A HUNDRED TO ONE
THOUSAND. FOR THE INLAND EMPIRE
AND SAN DIEGO BOTH SEVENTY SEVEN
THOUSAND AND EVEN IN THE CENTRAL
VALLEY WILL COST ABOUT A FAMILY
ABOUT SEVENTY THOUSAND DOLLARS
JUST TO SUSTAIN THEIR BASIC
NEEDS. IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE.
THAT THESE NUMBERS DO NOT
INCLUDE IN. AFTER THE PANDEMIC
AND FOR WILL PART OF OUR REAL
COST MEASURE AT THE END OF THIS
YEAR. WE KNOW THE NUMBERS BEHIND
WHAT IT COSTS TO LIVE IN THIS
STATE VERSUS LIVING PAYCHECK TO
PAYCHECK. WILL HAVE THE POWER TO
ACT TO ADDRESS THESE GAPS SB
THREE FIVE TWO DOES THAT AND
WILL HELP WITH THIS POLICYMAKERS
AT ALL LEVELS OF GOVERNMENT. TO
MAKE HE BUDGET DECISIONS
REGARDING THE MINIMUM WAGE. THE
UNITED WAY STANDS IN SUPPORT OF
SB THREE FIVE TWO- BY SENATOR
VIDEO ENERGY RIVALS THANK YOU.
ADDITIONAL SUPPORT. GOOD
AFTERNOON UNDER SOLELY SOMEHOW

SERRA FLOCKS CALIFORNIA LABOR
FEDERATION IN SUPPORT THANK YOU

CHULA VISTA ALSO IN SUPPORT.
WHERE A TOP ON BEHALF OF THE
CITY OF SAN DIEGO IN SUPPORT.
ANY ADDITIONAL SUPPORT COMMENTS.
OKAY AND IS THERE ANY OPPOSITION
IN THE HEARING ROOM. THE NUMBER
OF THE PHONE LINES FOR THE
MODERATOR PLEASE QUEUE UP ANY
REMOTE TESTIMONY. OF COURSE
LATER ADMINISTRATION MAKE A
COMMENT IN SUPPORT OR OPPOSITION
UP SB THREE FIVE TWO PLEASE
PRESS ONE ZERO. AND WE DO HAVE
SOME OF THAT HAD TO GET UP ONE
MOMENT WHETHER GIVEN THEIR LINE
NUMBER.
WE'LL BE GOING ONLINE SEVENTY
SIX PLEASE GO AHEAD. NAVNEET
PRAYER ON BEHALF. FOUR EMPLOYEES
AT THE BASE AND IN SUPPORT. OF.
AND THERE'S CURRENTLY NO ENOUGH
TO SHARE THANK YOU VERY IN FACT
THE COMMITTEE CALL YOU SEND
QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS OR MOTION
. AS A CENTER SEYARTO- SO GIVEN
THE SCENARIO THAT- WHEN YOU'RE
WITNESSES IS THE PRODUCT YOU
KNOW THE SEVENTY THOUSAND
DOLLARS A YEAR A YEAR- THAT'S
THIRTY SIX DOLLARS AN HOUR. AND
A LOT OF JOBS DON'T. REQUIRE THE
OF THE SKILLS TO PAY THIRTY SIX
DOLLARS AND IN FACT IF YOU DID
THAT A LOT OF BUSINESSES THAT
WOULDN'T BE IN BUSINESS ANYMORE
- OR THEY WOULD HAVE TO PASS A
COUPLE COSTS ALONG TO- THE
CONSUMER WHICH CREATES MORE
INFLATION WHICH JUST KIND OF
BUILDS ON THE PROBLEM- SO- A LOT
OF THE JOBS THAT WE'RE TALKING
ABOUT. A WERE NEVER MEANT TO
SUSTAIN A FAMILY. THEY WERE
SECONDARY JOBS THE SECONDARY TO
BREADWINNER JOBS AND SO IT SEEMS
TO ME THAT THE BIGGER ISSUE IS.
ARE WE BRINGING IN THE TYPE OF
JOBS TO CALIFORNIA LIKE SAY
SEMICONDUCTOR JOBS WHERE PEOPLE
CAN MAKE SEVENTY THOUSAND
DOLLARS A YEAR- BECAUSE THEY
THEY'VE- DEVELOPED THEIR SKILLS
THE LEVEL THAT THEY CAN MOVE UP
INTO THOSE JOBS. ENTRY LEVEL
JOBS WERE NEVER MEANT. TO GO BUY
A HOUSE WITH IF I WERE STILL IN
MY ENTRY LEVEL JOB AT TGN WIFE
THEY STILL EXISTED TODAY- I
WOULD NOT BE. I WOULD NOT HAVE
MY HOUSE I CAN GUARANTEE YOU-
BUT WHAT IT DID DO IS TEACH ME
SKILLS FOR THE NEXT LEVEL OF JOB
WHICH TAUGHT ME SKILLS FOR THE
NEXT LEVEL THE JOB. AND AND SO I
DON'T KNOW. YOU HAVE YOU HAVE
YOU GIVEN MUCH THOUGHT TO HOW
THIS IS GOING TO CONTRIBUTE TO
INFLATION THE VERY INFLATION
THAT WE'RE SAYING IS DRIVING THE
PROCESS WHICH MEANS THAT SEVENTY
THOUSAND TURNS INTO NINETY
THOUSAND DOLLARS- WHAT'S YOUR
THOUGHT ON THAT. THANK YOU
MISTER CHAIRMAN OF MY
DISTINGUISHED COLLEAGUE- THANK
YOU FOR THE QUESTION AND I THINK
YOU MAY IT'S PRECISELY THE POINT
FIRST I WANT TO CLARIFY THAT THE
BILL DOES NOT ESTABLISH OR AMEND
THE STATUTE THAT ESTABLISHED THE
MINIMUM WAGE FOR THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA. THE BILLS ON THE
DEFICIT. WHICH IS THE FACT THAT
THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA NEARLY A
CENTURY AGO. WORKING OFF THE
EXAMPLE THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
DECIDED THERE NEEDED TO BE A
MINIMUM WAGE IN THE PUBLIC
PURPOSE BEHIND THAT WAGE. WAS IT
FOR FOLKS COULD HAVE A QUOTE
UNQUOTE PROPER LIVING- THAT WAS
NOT DEFINED. HAS NEVER SINCE
BEEN DEFINED. NOR HAS ANY
METHODOLOGY TO ESTABLISH THE
BASIS FOR WHAT AT MINIMUM WAGE
IF WE'RE GOING TO HAVE ONE.
SHOULD BE. SO WE'VE DECIDED TO
THE STATE FOR OVER A CENTURY TO
ALLOW A MINIMUM WAGE STATUTE TO
EXIST. BUT WE HAVEN'T DEFINED
HOW AND WHY THAT WOULD. HELP IT
SHOULD LOOK IN THIS BILL SEEKS
TO COLLECT THAT DATA AND TO
REPORT THAT OUT TO US SO THAT WE
CAN THINK CREATIVELY. MAYBE
ABOUT. THRESHOLD STANDARDS FOR
SOCIAL SAFETY NET PROGRAMS. MAY
BE ABOUT INCENTIVES- FOR LARGE
SCALE PRIVATE SECTOR EMPLOYERS
THAT WE CAN PROVIDE IN FUTURE
LEGISLATION OR POLICY MAKING. IF
THEY ADOPT A BETTER STANDARD
THAT THEY CAN ABSORB BECAUSE
THEY AT THE MARGINS TO DO IT.
AND MOVE A SEGMENT OF THE
WORKFORCE THAT. IS BUNKING UP
WITH THREE OTHER FAMILIES TO
RENT AN APARTMENT CAN NOW AFFORD
HOUSING. THE POINT YOU MAKE-
MISTER CHAIRMAN AND SENATOR
SIMPLY THIS. THE TINY DESCRIBED
AND I THINK WE'RE ABOUT THE SAME
AGE. WAS A DIFFERENT TIME THE
RELATIVE BUYING POWER FIFTY
YEARS AGO OF A WAGE EARNER WAS A
FRACTION OF WHAT IT IS TODAY.
AND THE COST OF LIVING FOR A
FRACTION OF WHAT IT IS TODAY.
PEOPLE WERE ABLE TO WORK A
MINIMUM WAGE JOB EARLY IN THEIR
WORKING CAREER. AND YET HAVE THE
TIME TO GO TO SCHOOL LEARN A
TRADE GET AN EDUCATION. TO
INCREASE THE MARKETABILITY OF
THEIR LABOR. THAT DOES NOT EXIST
TODAY THE PROBLEM WE FACE IN
CALIFORNIA. IS THAT PEOPLE HAVE
TO WORK EIGHTY NINETY HOURS A
WEEK. THE HIT THE BASELINE.
BECAUSE OF THE DEMAND ON THE
COST SIDE AND THE LOW WAGE
COMPENSATION. THAT YOU COULD DO
WITH TWENTY HOURS A WEEK FORTY
OR FIFTY YEARS AGO WELL YOU WENT
TO NIGHT SCHOOL. THEY ARE
TRAPPED IN THIS CYCLE. OF
WORKING POVERTY THEY DON'T HAVE
THE TIME. TO ADVANTAGE
THEMSELVES OF THE SOCIAL
PROGRAMS OR GO TO NIGHT SCHOOL
MOM BUSSING TABLES NINETY HOURS
A WEEK WITH SMALL KIDS WHO CAN'T
AFFORD RENT. IS GOING TO BED
WHEN SHE GETS HOME. AND SO. WHEN
YOU WE NEED TO START WITH DATA.
WE NEED TO START WITH
UNDERSTANDING HONESTLY AND
RESPECTFULLY UNCOMFORTABLY. WHAT
WORKING POVERTY LOOKS LIKE IN
CALIFORNIA AND THAT'S WHAT THIS
BILL DOES. AND WE DON'T HAVE
OTHER ORGANIZATIONS THAT ARE
ALREADY DOING THIS TYPE OF WORK.
THAT WE NEED TO LOG MAKING THIS
. PART OF THE WORKFORCE
DEVELOPMENT BOARD. CREEK MISTER
CHAIRMAN AND- COLLEAGUES I THINK
IT'S A GREAT QUESTION AND- I
THINK WE DO NEED IT BECAUSE WE
IN ARE WE GOING TO REPEAL. A
MINIMUM WAGE LINE CALIFORNIA. IT
EXISTS. BUT YET THERE IS NO
STANDARD AND THEY'RE NOT EVEN A
STUDY. AND THIS BILL FOR THE
FIRST TIME WOULD REQUIRE THE
STATE NOT ADVOCACY ORGANIZATIONS
BUT OUR OWN INTERNAL
DEPARTMENTS. TO REPORT. AND
COLLECT AND ANALYZE INDEPENDENT.
OF ANY OTHER AGENDA PRO OR CON.
WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE EVERY YEAR
AND PUT IT IN OUR LAB. AND
ANALYZE THAT SPECIFICALLY WITH
THE LINK TO HOUSING COSTS.
BECAUSE IT IS A MAIN DRIVER. AND
THE INABILITY OF PEOPLE TO EVEN
AFFORD AFFORDABLE HOUSING WHILE
WORKING EIGHTY HOURS OR MORE A
WEEK. IS AN IS AN ELEMENT OF THE
HOUSING AFFORDABILITY CRISIS.
AND SO I THINK THAT THIS BILL.
REQUIRING THIS ANALYSIS AND
REPORTING EVERY YEAR IS. IS
POTENTIALLY A VERY CRITICAL TOOL
NOT JUST FOR GENERAL ECONOMIC
DEVELOPMENT INDIVIDUAL ECONOMIC
DEVELOPMENT. BUT TO ADDRESS THE
HOUSING CRISIS IS ONE. FINNER
TROUBLE. YES THANK YOU. THE
VALID POINTS AND ONE POINT WELL
TAKEN BOTH ON SENATORS THEY ARE
TO RETIRE ALSO ECHOED THE-
CONCERNS THAT THE HOUSE. HAS AND
I ALSO WANNA JUST EMPHASIZE
TODAY. I GET THE GIST OF THE
BILL N. M. AND UNDERSTAND WHY
THEY WOULD BE A NEED. HERE'S
SOME SOME- JUST THOUGHT THAT
I'VE BEEN PROCESSING AS YOU
FOLKS ARE SHARING THIS ONE-
WITHIN THIS DATA THAT'S BEING
COLLECTED HAS THERE BEEN ANY
CONSIDERATION ASKED TO- EACH
THROUGH ENTRY WAGE WORKER TO
ACCOMMODATE BOTH. OUR TEEN ARE
AND ARGUES THAT ENTERS THE WORK
FORCE AND THEY'RE NOT INTENDED
TO. BE PAID TO AFFORD HOUSING
PER SE BUT WE DO NEED A WAGE
THAT ACCOMMODATES THOSE HUGE
FIFTEEN AND A HALF SIXTEEN YEAR
OLD SEVENTEEN YEAR OLDS WHO ARE.
SUPPOSED TO BE ENTERING IN
LEARNING THOSE ENTRY LEVEL SKILL
SETS TO BE ABLE TO WORK IN AN
COMMITTEES. BECAUSE I HAVE
SPOKEN TO MANY CHAMBERS AND- R.
O. P. INSTITUTIONS AND WE'RE
MISSING OUT THAT GAP OF WHERE-
MR COMMITTEE THESE KIDS- BEFORE
THEY ENTER THE REAL WORLD BUT-
NOT NECESSARILY BE ABLE TO BE
PAID WHAT THEY NEED TO BE SO.
I'M NOT SURE YOU CONSIDER THAT
BUT THAT'S SOMETHING THAT
PROBABLY SHOULD BE GATHERED AS
THE DATA- ON THAT END. SO YOU
ACTUALLY HAVE BEEN THROUGH ENTRY
LEVEL WAGE AND THEN YOU HAVE A
LIVING WAGE THAT SHOULD BE
CONSIDERED- BASED ON THE
DEMOGRAPHIC. THE OTHER CONCERT
THAT CONCERN MORE OF A COMMENT.
AND THE OTHER FACTORS I THINK
HE'S TO BE CONSIDERED WHEN WE'RE
GATHERING THIS DATA AND THE COST
OF LIVING AND WHAT THAT WAGE
SHOULD LOOK LIKE TO BE LIVABLE.
IS THE IMPACT THAT POLICY HAS ON
THE COST OF LIVING IN
CALIFORNIA. BECAUSE YOU CAN
INCREASE THE COST OF LIVING AB
TWO A LIVING CRITICAL LIVING
WAGE PER COUNTY WHICH I THINK IS
A IT'S A- IT'S A GOOD. THOUGHT
TO HAVE. M. BUT THAT ALSO AS
SENATORS YARD TO STATE IT WILL
ALSO HAVE AN IMPACT ON INFLATION
WITH THE GOODS AND SERVICES OF
THOSE INDUSTRIES THAT WILL BE
PROVIDING THAT LIVING WAGE
SUGGEST ADDING TO THE COMPONENT.
SO ANOTHER FACTOR TO BE
CONSIDERED IS AB A STUDY OR
GATHERING DATA ON THE IMPACT OF
POLICY. ON THE COST OF DOING
BUSINESS WHICH- ATTRIBUTES TO
THE COST OF LIVING IN
CALIFORNIA. AND WHEN IT COMES TO
HOUSING BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT
WE'RE DEALING WITH HERE IN THIS
IN THIS COMMITTEE IS THE FACT OF
THE POLICIES THAT WE HAVE IN
PLACE AND HOW THAT IMPACTS THE
COST OF HOUSING. AND DEVELOPING
AND HOUSING BECAUSE FROM A
RELIGIOUS PERSPECTIVE FROM A
CONSTRUCTION PERSPECTIVE WHICH I
COME FROM I CAN TELL YOU THAT
THAT THAT POLICY ALSO HAS AN
IMPACT. ON HOUSING IN ITSELF AND
WHY THAT HAS EXASPERATED IN THE
PAST COUPLE OF YEARS AND WE CAN.
HAPPY TO SIT DOWN AND FOR THOSE
SOME OF THE FACTORS AND DATA
THAT. DATA POINTS THAT SHOULD BE
CONSIDERED IN GATHERED IN ORDER
TO REALLY HAVE A HOLISTIC
PERSPECTIVE ON THE IMPACT OF
POLICY. ON THE COST OF LIVING
AND YES WHAT IT SHOULD YOU KNOW
WHAT THAT WOULD LOOK LIKE BUT
ALL OF IT. IMPACTS THE COST OF
LIVING AND HOW YOU KNOW IT WON'T
MATTER HOW MUCH WE PAY PEOPLE IF
POLICY CONTINUES TO. HAVE
EXASPERATED COST OF LIVING IN
CALIFORNIA SO JUST SOME THOUGHTS
ON THAT BUT I THOUGHT. I'M GOING
TO SUPPORT THE BILL TODAY- BUT I
JUST WOULD LOVE FOR YOU TO TAKE
THOSE. THOSE COMMENTS AND- IN
THOSE CONSIDERATIONS AS WE MOVE
FORWARD AND I LOVE TO SEE. I DO
WANT TO SEE WHAT THE FINAL BILL
LOOKS LIKE- AND I DO WANT TO
RESERVE THE RIGHT TO CHANGE MY
VOTE DEPENDING ON WHAT WE SEE IN
THAT. IN THAT STUDY THANK YOU
VERY MUCH AND I APPRECIATE YOUR
INTENT. THANK YOU CENTER VOICE
FOR JUST BRIEFLY I JUST WANT TO
SAY I APPRECIATE YOUR DEEP
THOUGHT ON THE SUBJECT AND I'M
HAPPY TO SUPPORT THE BILL TODAY.
FOR THE MOTION YES. MEMBERS
WITHIN EXPERT. BY ANY OF THE
SILICON CENTER. IN CIVIL. I MADE
MORE SENSE OF CALM- IF THE LABOR
COMMITTEE A SEE THE- AS X. HOW
THE- IS YOU KNOW HAS FRAMED IT-
IS REALLY TAKING A LOOK AT
WHAT'S HAPPENED OVER THE LAST.
THIRTY YEARS OR MORE IN TERMS OF
THE DEGRADATION OF- THE RELATIVE
THE RELATIVE. OF THE VALUE OF-
OF. MINIMUM WAGE YOU KNOW VERSUS
THE COST OF LIVING IS IT'S NOT A
CRITIQUE AS MUCH ON HOUSING
COSTS AS IT IS. A CRITIQUE ON.
SORT OF THE FLAT- PLACE WE'VE WE
FOUND OURSELVES IN OR WORSE YOU
KNOW WHEN IT COMES TO. A MINIMUM
WAGE TO THIS WORTHWHILE IT'S-
THIS IS WORTH GETTING IT'S WORTH
LOOKING AT INCLUDE THE DEBATE
CONTINUES THIS. THAT'S WHAT I
WOULD SAY THANK YOU FOR BRINGING
THE BILL FOR. THANK YOU ANY
ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS OR
COMMENTS. OKAY WE HAVE A MOTION
BY CENTER BLAKE'S PAYER DO
PASSED TO THE COMMITTEE ON
APPROPRIATIONS OR THANK YOU FOR
WORK ON THIS AND YOU MAY CLOSE.
THANK YOU MR CHAIRMAN ADJUST-
BRIEFLY THIS THAT WE FIND
OURSELVES IN A CIRCUMSTANCE
WHERE. MORE AND MORE OF
CALIFORNIA'S WORKFORCE ARE IN
FACT. RELYING ON LOW WAGE OR
MINIMUM WAGE OR ENTRY LEVEL
WAGES TO SURVIVE AND TO LIVE.
THE DYNAMIC HAS CHANGED. AND
THEY ARE NOT ECONOMICALLY
UPWARDLY MOBILE. EVEN THOUGH
THEY ARE WORKING. EIGHTY OR
NINETY HOURS A WEEK THE DATA
PROVES THIS OUT. THIS BILL
SIMPLY SEEKS TO BE ABLE TO LOOK
AT THE DEMAND SIDE AND REPORT TO
US- IN A FAIRLY. COMPREHENSIVE
MANNER EVERY YEAR. BUT THAT
LOOKS LIKE FOR WORKING
CALIFORNIANS. AND I WOULD
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR I.

PURPOSES OF THE STATE DENSITY
BONUS LAW DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS
IN QUOTES MEANS THOSE ADOPTED BY
THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT OR ENACTED
BY THE LOCAL GOVERNMENTS
ELECTORATE EXERCISING ITS LOCAL
INITIATIVE OR REFERENDUM POWER.
WHETHER THAT POWER IS DERIVED
FROM THE CALIFORNIA CONSTITUTION
FROM STATUTE CHARTER ORDINANCE
OF THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT.
CALIFORNIA AS YOU WELL KNOW IS
IN THE MIDST OF A HOUSING CRISIS
AND EVERY STEP WE TAKE IS VITAL
TO BRIDGE THE GAP. BETWEEN
HOUSING SUPPLY AND DEMAND. THIS
MEASURE WOULD CLEARLY ARTICULATE
STATE LAW AS DEVELOPERS AND
CITIES COLLABORATE AND SEEK TO
BUILD NEW UNITS OF HOUSING THAT
ARE COMPLIANT WITH STATE LAW.
CODIFIES A RECENT TECHNICAL

DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING COMMITTEE

THERE IS CURRENTLY NO ONE Q. AND
- THANK YOU VERY MUCH TO BRING
BACK TO THE COMMITTEE COLLEAGUES
ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS ON THE
BILL. CENTER SERRA. YOU KNOW IT
I'VE BEEN REALLY IN FAVOR OF
WHAT YOU'RE TRYING TO DO IS JUST
STREAMLINING PROCESS SEES SO
THAT WE CAN GET GET TO. HOUSING
BILLS AND THINGS LIKE THAT. ONE
OF THE THINGS I'VE SEEN ONE OF
THE TRENDS I'VE SEEN RECENTLY
TAKING ADVANTAGE OF SOME OF THE
LAWS THAT WE HAVE HAVE DONE IS
WE HAVE TO BE CAREFUL THAT WE
DON'T TIP THE SCALES- PUT A
THUMB ON THE SCALE TOO MUCH FOR
ONE SIDE OR THE OTHER YOU'RE
TALKING ABOUT LOCAL GOVERNMENTS
ON ONE SIDE AND ALSO BUILDING ON
THE OTHER SIDE- BECAUSE ONCE YOU
DO THAT- WHAT YOU WIND UP. IS
WITH- PROJECTS THAT ARE- FRANKLY
HIDEOUS- FOUR WALLS AND WINDOWS
AND THAT CREATES A STIGMA FOR
THE PEOPLE THAT LIVE THERE AND
THAT'S ONE OF THE REASONS I'VE
SEEN OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING
TOTALLY AFFORDABLE HOUSING BUILT
- WITH DESIGN STANDARDS THAT
MAKE IT. DOESN'T MAKE IT SIMILAR
INTO THE OF THE COMMUNITY- SO
THAT IT IS NOT SOMETHING FOR
SOMEBODY BE EMBARRASSED. THAT
THEY SAY HEY I KINDA LIVE OVER-
THERE- I GREW UP IN AREAS LIKE
THAT- PEOPLE WOULDN'T TELL YOU
WHERE YOU KNOW I I'M YOU KNOW
HE'D BE THEY'D BE EMBARRASSED.
FRANKLY TO TELL YOU TELL THEM
TELL THEIR FRIENDS WHERE THEY
LIVED BEFORE THEY WOULD BRING
YOUR FRIENDS OVER. AND I DON'T
WANT THAT KIND OF HOUSING TO BE
CREATED BY TAKING ALL OF THE
POWER AWAY FROM LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS. TO SAY HEY YOU KNOW
WHAT WE UNDERSTAND WE'RE GOING
TO DO SOME. AFFORDABLE HOUSING
ORGAN AND TRYING TO STREAMLINE
THIS PROCESS AND REDUCE
EXPENDITURES THERE. BUT YOU KNOW
HAVING SOME KIND OF DEVELOPMENT
STANDARDS- DESIGN STANDARDS. IS
ACTUALLY PART OF MAKING A
PRODUCT IN A COMMUNITY THAT
EVERYBODY CAN BE PROUD OF
INCLUDING THE PEOPLE THAT WIND
UP BUYING. OR RENTING IN THOSE
THOSE- THOSE COMMUNITIES- SO I'M
A LITTLE CONCERNED THAT WE'RE
STARTING TO GET THERE BECAUSE
I'M STARTING TO SEE EVIDENCE OF
IT. AND CITIES ARE TRYING TO
CLAW BACK A LITTLE BIT- BUT-
THEY'RE BEING VERY LIMITED IN
WHAT THEY CAN REQUEST AND
SOMETIMES THE- I WATCHED SOME OF
THE VIDEO ON SOME OF THESE.
HEARINGS AND FRANKLY I AM SEEING
ARROGANCE AS FAR AS TRYING TO
ADDRESS THE ISSUES STATE THE
CITY WAS LIKE TO SEE- IS
FOOTBALL WHEN BUILDING SOMETHING
THAT THEY KNOW THEY HAVE TO HAVE
BUILT- SO- DOES YOUR BILL.
FURTHER ROAD THAT OPPORTUNITY
FOR CITIES TO- CREATE AND-
ENSURE THAT DESIGN STANDARDS
THAT ARE ACTUALLY PROBABLY ONE
OF THE LEAST EXPENSIVE PARTS OF
THE BUILDING PART PROCESS-
AREN'T. BEING A YOU KNOW BEING
CAST ASIDE IN FAVOR OF HEY JUST
BUILD IT AND THEY CAN'T DO
ANYTHING ABOUT IT THAT KIND OF
ANALYSIS. MISTER CHAIRMAN OF
SENATOR THANK YOU FOR GREAT
QUESTION AND YOU KNOW FRANKLY I
DO AGREE IN PART DISAGREED PART
WITH A CRITIQUE AND CERTAINLY
THE BONUS LIFE. THIS IS ONE THAT
SHOULD BE EVOLVING WITH THE
POLICY GOAL OF HELPING TO
FACILITATE THE PRODUCTION.
PORTABLE HOUSING UNITS- AS A
MAJOR FACTOR IN INCREASING
AFFORDABILITY. THE BILL SIMPLY
CLARIFIES THE DEFINITION OF
DEVELOPMENT STANDARD TO INCLUDE
CONSISTENCY WITH THE FACT THAT
IT CAN'T BE PREEMPTED MERELY BY
THE FACT THAT THERE WAS A
LOCALLY A LOCAL PLEBISCITE OR A
BALLOT MEASURE THAT WAS ADOPTED
BY THE ELECTORATE. AND IT SIMPLY
CLARIFIES THAT THE- THE STATUTE
AS YOU KNOW- ALREADY PROHIBITS-
THE ENACTMENT BY ORDINANCE OR BY
A POPULAR VOTE- REQUIREMENTS OR
REGULATIONS THAT WOULD HAVE THE
ACTUAL FACT. OR THE INTENDED
EFFECT TO PUT A CHILLING EFFECT
ON THE PRODUCTION OF PORTABLE
HOUSING FOR ITS OWN SAKE THIS
SIMPLY ADDS THE LANGUAGE TO THE
DEFINITION OF THE DEVELOPMENT
STANDARD IN A WAY THAT MAKES
THAT CLEAR. SO WITH RESPECT MY
ANSWER WOULD BE NO. THANK YOU
HAVE A QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS
CENTER TWO OF. JUST ONE FINAL
COMMENT. AND I UNDERSTAND THE
MERIT OF THE BILL AND I. I GET
THAT. ONE THE CONCERN THAT I
PERSONALLY HAVE IS THE M. AND N.
AS YOU MENTIONED JUST MENTIONED-
IS THE FACT THAT AT. AS I
UNDERSTAND IT THE H. D. WOULD
HAVE THE ABILITY TO SEARCH. OUT
LOCAL VOTING. THE MEASURES. AND
THAT'S THE ONE THING THAT I'M
I'M HESITANT ABOUT IN THIS IN
THIS. IN THE BILL IS THE FACT
THAT IF VOTERS LOCAL VOTERS VOTE
ON SOMETHING. AND THEN WE COME
IN AND SAY NOPE YOU'RE VOTE YOU
KNOW THE VOTE OF THE PEOPLE THIS
IS NOT RELEVANT IN THIS CASE-
WE'RE GOING TO. HAVE YOU THIRTY
TWO OVER STEP- THAT MAKES ME A
BIT NERVOUS FOURTEEN SIENNA-
WOULD LOVE TO HEAR. YOUR
COMMENTS ON THAT- OTHERWISE I'M
GONNA HAVE TO STAY OFF ON ON ON
THAT MEASURE BUT THAT WAS THAT'S
THE THAT'S THE PART THE RIGHT I
REALLY. I RESPECT THE PEOPLE'S
VOTE- AND I JUST HAS A DIFFERENT
AND BETTER LOVE TO HEAR YOUR
COMMENTS THANK YOU MISTER
CHAIRMAN CENTER THANK YOU FOR
THE QUESTION AND I HAVE GREAT
RESPECT FOR THE PERSPECTIVE I
WOULD SIMPLY. JUST REITERATE
THAT THE BILL SEEKS TO CLARIFY-
THE FACT THAT ADOPTING
REGULATIONS THAT ARE INTENDED
CLEARLY TO FRUSTRATE EXISTING
STATE STATUTES- FOR THE PURPOSE
OF PUTTING A CHILLING EFFECT
BASICALLY ON THE PRODUCTION. OF
HOUSING OR TO FRUSTRATE THE
PRODUCTION OF HOUSING FOR ITS
OWN SAKE IS ALREADY PROHIBITED
BY LAW AND AS I KNOW THE CHAIR
AND THE MEMBERS ARE WELL AWARE-
YOU KNOW THERE'S A DOCTOR IN OUR
LEGAL SYSTEM OF PREEMPTION. AND
FEDERAL STATUTES OFTEN PREEMPT-
THE PENDING ON THE QUESTION A
STATUTORY SCHEMES THAT ARE
ENACTED- BY THE STATE
LEGISLATURES AND FURTHER- THE
STATUTORY SCHEMES THAT WE ACT AS
A STATE LEGISLATURE SUPERSEDE OR
PREEMPT LOCAL ORDINANCES THAT
ARE IN CONFLICT WITH THAT SO
IT'S CONSISTENT WITH US LAW.
CALIFORNIA LAW THAT. IF THE
STATE HAS ENACTED A STATUTE THAT
IS IN EFFECT. LOCAL ORDINANCES
CANNOT FRUSTRATE THAT OR
CONTRAVENE THAT IF THERE'S A
QUESTION- OF- WHICH SCHEME
PREAMPS OR CONTROLS IT WOULD BE
THE STATE STATUTE. THE EXISTING
LAW CLEARLY STATES THAT- EFFORTS
AGAIN BY ORDINANCE- BY POPULAR
VOTE THAT ARE DESIGNED IN FACT
TO FRUSTRATE THE PRODUCTION OF
HOUSING. OR TO FRUSTRATE THE
DENSITY BONUS LAW ITSELF. ARE
PREEMPTED BY THE STATE LAW OR
LOCAL LAW WHETHER THEY ARE
ENACTED BY CITY COUNCIL OR BOARD
OR BY POPULAR VOTE. AND THAT IS
THAT IS JUST CONSISTENT WITH
EXISTING LAW. THE BILL HERE JUST
CLARIFIES- THE FACT THAT A
DEVELOPMENT STANDARD CAN INCLUDE
SOMETHING ADOPTED BY LOCAL.
JURISDICTIONS I BY POPULAR VOTE
. YEAH IN OTHER QUESTIONS BOOKS
FOR. YEAH I'D JUST I JUST WANNA
FOLLOW UP ON HE JUST EXPLAINED
IT EXTREMELY WELL BUT IF YOU
KNOW THERE ARE MANY THINGS THAT
WE DON'T ALLOW LOCAL GOVERNMENTS
LIKE FOR EXAMPLE YOU ASK PEOPLE
WHAT DO YOU WANT TO HAVE A-
PROPERTY TAX IN THE CITY. AND
PEOPLE WOULD SAY NO AND SO YOU
KNOW BUT WE HAVE A STATE GOAL OF
PROVIDING HOUSING WE HAVE MANY
LAWS THAT ARE THAT ARE AIMED AT
THAT THAT APPLY TO BOTH GENERAL
LYON CHARTER CITIES. AND SO HAVE
A MAKING IT REALLY CLEAR THAT
WHEN THERE IS A CONFLICT BETWEEN
A LOCAL A LOCALLY ADOPTED
INITIATIVE AND A STATE LAW THAT
THE STATE LAW TRUMPS BECAUSE WE
DO HAVE THIS PREEMPTION
DOCTRINE. TO ME THAT MAKES A LOT
OF SENSE AND IT'S REALLY
IMPORTANT WE CLARIFY IT YOU HAVE
AN EXAMPLE FROM YOUR OWN COUNTY
RIGHT HERE THAT IS LISTED BY THE
COMMITTEE CONSULTANT AND- I
THINK IT JUST SHOWS THE NEED FOR
HAVING- HAVING A BILL LIKE THAT
SO I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU
FOR BRINGING FORWARD AND- IT
SEEMS TO ME LIKE IT MAKES A LOT
OF SENSE TO PASS. A MOTION IT IS
A MOTION W. MOTION THANK YOU
THANK YOU- OTHER QUESTIONS OR
COMMENTS. I SEE NINE- I WANT TO
THANK THE AUTHOR. BRINGS FOR AND
BRING THIS FORWARD AND ALSO WANT
TO GO OUT THERE FOR THE
AMENDMENTS MADE TO THE BILL. THE
ORIGINAL VERSION OF THE BILL IS
SOMETHING I FULLY SUPPORT IT BUT
IT WAS- IN MY VIEW A- COMPLETE
RESTATEMENT OF EXISTING LAW. AND
SO- THE AND NOW YOU HAVE
SOMETHING THAT'S A REALLY-
SOLID. CLARIFICATION TO MAKE
SURE THERE'S NO UNCERTAINTY SO I
THINK IT'S A REALLY GOOD BILL-
AND I'M REALLY APPRECIATIVE THAT
YOU ARE BRINGING THIS FORWARD- I
DO JUST WANT TO SAY- APPRECIATE.
CENTER CERRITOS. COMMENTS BUT I
WILL SAY THIS IS SOMEONE WHO.
LIVES IN A- FIVE HUNDRED SQUARE
FOOT CONDO IN THE THIRTY NINE
UNIT BUILDING BUILT IN NINETEEN
SIXTY FIVE. THAT WOULD BURDENS.
NO ONE WOULD EVER ACCUSE IT OF
WINNING AN ARCHITECTURAL AWARDS-
ANYWHERE SOMEONE CALLED BOXY AND
BORING AND IT SOUGHT. NOT
ANYWAY. BOB YOU TO FALL I'M
REALLY THRILLED THAT I. GET TO
LIVE THEIR LIVES. IN A CITY THAT
I WOULD STRUGGLE TO AFFORD- IF I
DIDN'T HAVE A FIVE HUNDRED
SQUARE FOOT- CONDO I WOULD. YOU
KNOW THE GREAT TO BY A SINGLE
FOR HOME OR SOME- YOU KNOW MORE
- CONDO. IN SAN FRANCISCO I.
COULDN'T AFFORD THAT WHEN I
BOUGHT I WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO
AFFORD IT- TODAY ABOUT THAT
PROBABLY WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO
AFFORD MY OWN- BOXY BORING FIVE
HUNDRED SQUARE FOOT CONDO- TODAY
SO I'M I FEEL REALLY LUCKY THAT
I'M- THERE AND THAT'S REALLY
WHAT THIS IS- ABOUT WHETHER
WE'RE SERIOUS ABOUT. PEOPLE
HAVING ENOUGH. PLACES TO LIVE IN
OF SAN FRANCISCO IN MY THIRTY
NINE YEAR BUILDING. WAS BUILT IN
NINETEEN SIXTY FIVE HAD HAD SOME
QUOTE UNQUOTE DEVELOPMENTS
FOUNDER THAT HAD THE- EFFECT OF
MEANING YOU CAN ONLY BILL TWENTY
TWO. CONDOS INSTEAD OF THIRTY
NINE CONDOS NOT OVER TALKING
ABOUT WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT
DESIGN STANDARDS. TO MAKE IT
LOOK GOOD IT'S MORE DESIGN
CENTER TO HAVE AN EFFECT
CHOPPING. OFF STORIES AND REDUCE
THE NUMBER OF UNITS. THE NOT SO
FEWER YOU AND BY. I MAY NOT HAVE
A PLACE THAT I- TODAY SO I THINK
THERE'S A GOOD BALANCE CITIES
ARE STILL ABLE TO. APPLY
OBJECTIVE DESIGN STANDARDS OR
SOMETHING TAKEN AWAY IN ANY WAY-
AND I SUPPORT THOSE OBJECTIVE
DESIGN STANDARDS- IT FRUSTRATES
ME TOO AND- DEVELOPERS BUILD
THINGS THAT ARE. ALL
GRATUITOUSLY UGLY BECAUSE THEY
USE A CHEAP FINISH OR WHATEVER-
BUT WHEN YOU HAD A QUOTE UNQUOTE
DESIGN STANDARDS A CHOP PROJECT
IN HALF- DUSTS OR MAKING
POSSIBLE TIES TO USE A DENSITY
BONUS OUT OF THIS IS GETTING AT.
BATS IS AND WHETHER OR NOT A
CITY COUNCIL OR THE VOTERS
PASSED AN ORDINANCE. YOU KNOW IF
THE IF THE SCHOOL BOARD PASSES
AN ORDINANCE. TO SAY WE'RE ONLY
GOING TO HAVE THIRTY DAYS A YEAR
OF. SCHOOLING THAT WOULD BE A
VIOLATION OF STATE LAW I THINK
EVERYONE AGREES YOU HAVE TO HAVE
A MINIMUM NUMBER OF DAYS IN THE
SAME LAW. IF THE VOTERS PASSED
THAT SAME. ORDINANCE INSTEAD OF
THE SCHOOL BOARD WE WOULD STILL
SAY WOULDN'T SAY WHAT THE VOTERS
PASSED A SO THEREFORE. IT'S
DIFFERENT DOESN'T MATTER WHO
PASSED IT OF A VIOLATE STATE
LAW. VIOLATES A STATE LAW SO
THIS IS MY TAKEN APPRECIATE YOU
BRINGING THIS FORWARD AND WE
HAVE A MOTION- BUYS CENTER
BLAKE'S FEAR. TO PASS TO THE
GOVERNMENT TO FINANCE COMMITTEE
AND YOU MAY CLOSE. THANK YOU
VERY MUCH MR CHAIRMAN I WANT TO
THANK YOU IN YOUR OFFICE FOR
YOUR COLLABORATION GUIDANCE ON
THIS MATTER AS WELL I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR NINTH.

MISTER TO AND MEMBER SIMPLY TO
PER. SENATE BILL SEVEN FORTY
SEVEN WHICH SHOULD MAKE
IMPORTANT CHANGES TO THE
CALIFORNIA SURPLUS LAND ACT
RIGHT CLARITY TO ITS APPLICATION
ALLOW FLEXIBILITY FOR LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS TO DEVELOP ECONOMIC
OPPORTUNITIES THAT ARE CRITICAL
TO THE GOAL OF AFFORDABLE
HOUSING PRODUCTION. FIRST I'D
LIKE TO EXTEND MY SINCERE AND
SINCEREST GRATITUDE TO THE CHAIR
AND COMMITTEE STAFF FOR WORKING
TOGETHER ON THIS ISSUE I WILL
ACCEPT THE FOLLOWING COMMITTEE
AMENDMENTS TODAY- A REMOVED I
HAVE REQUIRED THE JURISDICTION
HAVE A COMPLAINT HOUSING ELEMENT
AND HAVE ACHIEVED A PRO HOUSING
DESIGNATION. BE REMOVED THE
LANGUAGE REGARDING CONCLUSIVE
STANDARDS AND THE C. SHORTEN THE
LEASE TERM FROM THIRTY FIVE TO
FIFTEEN YEARS. I LOOK FORWARD TO
CONTINUED WORK WITH THE CHAIR
AND THIS COMMITTEE SHOULD THE
BILL MOVE FORWARD TODAY. FOR
DECADES REDEVELOPMENT AGENCIES-
RDAS WERE EQUIPPED WITH BROAD.
FICKER FEATURE OF THE FORMER RDA
TOOL WITH SAID IN A NEIGHBORHOOD
LOCAL AGENCIES TO ACQUIRE
PROPERTIES. AND ASSEMBLE LAND
THAT COULD BE USED TO REVITALIZE
DETERIORATED NEIGHBORHOODS. AND
ATTRACT AN EXPANDED NEW
BUSINESSES AND JOBS TO THE
COMMUNITY. AFTER RDAS WERE
ELIMINATED IN TWO THOUSAND
ELEVEN THE LEGISLATURE RECOGNIZE
THAT LOCAL AGENCIES AGENCIES
NEEDED NEW ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
TOOLS. AND ENACTED A VARIETY OF
LAWS INCLUDING STATE ECONOMIC
OPPORTUNITY LAW TO AUTHORIZE
LOCAL AGENCIES TO ACQUIRE AND
DISPOSE OF PROPERTY FOR ECONOMIC
GROWTH. SINCE THE ENACTMENT OF
THE ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY TO
NEEDY LAW IN TWENTY SEVENTEEN
LOCAL AGENCIES HAVE UTILIZED
THIS TOOL TO ACQUIRE
DETERIORATED BUILDINGS UNDER
UTILIZED LOTS AND OTHER
PROPERTIES OFTEN IN
UNDERINVESTED NEIGHBORHOODS AND
DOWNTOWNS. WITH AN EYE TO FUTURE
SALE OR LEASE OF THESE
PROPERTIES TO. TO ADVANCE
PRIVATE SECTOR REINVESTMENT ALL
THIS TO REVITALIZE NEIGHBORHOODS
TO CREATE ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY
WHEN A LOCAL JURISDICTION ACTS
TO DISPOSE OF PROPERTY ACCESS TO
ITS NEED PROPERTY ACQUIRED WITH
THE GOAL TO PURSUE ECONOMIC
OPPORTUNITY. MISS ENERGO. REVIEW
UNDER THE SURPLUS LAND AT. OR
SLA YES REQUIRES A LOCAL AGENCY
SEEKING IS TO DISPOSE OF REAL
PROPERTY AS SURPLUS TO FIRST
MAKE IT AVAILABLE FOR AFFORDABLE
HOUSING IN TWENTY NINETEEN AB
FOURTEEN EIGHTY SIX IMPOSED
REQUIREMENTS UNDER THE SLA.
WHICH INCLUDED GIVING THAT
DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT HCD AN
OVERSIGHT ROLE AND THE ABILITY
TO IMPOSE FINES WHEN LOCAL
GOVERNMENT IS FOUND TO HAVE
VIOLATED THE SLA. CENTRALIZING
THE ADMINISTRATION OF THE SLA
UNDER EACH DEUCE H. C. B. AND
AUTHORIZING SIGNIFICANT
PENALTIES FOR VIOLATIONS HAS
CREATED CONFUSION AND DELAY
HAMPERING THE ABILITY OF LOCAL
AGENCIES TO UNDERSTAND THEIR
OPTIONS. TO EFFECTIVELY CONDUCT
ACTIVITIES FOR FAILED THEIR
MISSION. SB SEVEN FORTY SEVEN
MAKES A NUMBER OF CHANGES TO THE
SLA TO PROVIDE GREATER CLARITY
FOR LOCAL GOVERNMENTS WHEN
PROPERTY IS DEEMED SURPLUS.
FIRST AND FOREMOST PROVIDES MUCH
NEEDED CLARITY THAT THE ECONOMIC
OPPORTUNITY LAW REMAINS AN
INDEPENDENT AND ALTERNATIVE
PROCESS FOR PUBLIC AGENCIES TO
DISPOSE OF THEIR PROPERTY.
SECOND IT MAKES NUMEROUS
IMPROVEMENTS TO THE SLA TO HELP
LOCAL GOVERNMENT ADVANCED
DEVELOPMENT WHILE AVOIDED
AVOIDING NEEDLESS DELAYS AND
UNCERTAINTY. WHEN YOU HAVE
UNCERTAINTY AND HOW THE LAW HAD
IS APPLIED THE ATTORNEYS TAKE A
VERY VERY CONSERVATIVE APPROACH
AND IT BY CITY COUNCILS NOT TO
TAKE ACTION SO YOU END UP WITH
PROPERTY THAT SITTING VACANT OR
UNUSED OUR DETERIORATED OR
DILAPIDATED- FOR A SIGNIFICANTLY
LONG PERIOD OF TIME RATHER THAN
MOVE AND EITHER DO HOUSING OR
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. IT ALLOWS
LOCAL AGENCY DOES TO DISPOSE OF
SURPLUS PROPERTY FOR MIXED MIXED
USE PROPERTY PROJECTS WHICH
CONTAIN AT LEAST 25% OF ITS
UNITS AFFORDABLE TO LOW INCOME
HOUSEHOLD. BILL ALSO CLARIFIES
THAT LAND RETAINED BY LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS FOR SEVERAL PURPOSES
INCLUDING BROADBAND DEVELOPMENT.
TRANSIT ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT
LAND USE FOR AIRPORTS OR PORTS
TIDELANDS AND WASTE ALSO QUALIFY
FOR AGENCY USE. PROPERTY THAT
LOCAL GOVERNMENT WISH TO OFFER
FOR SHORTER TERM LEASES ARE LESS
CHARACTERISTIC. OF TRADITIONAL
SURPLUS PROPERTY AND THAT'S WHY
WE STARTED OFF WITH THE THIRTY
FIVE YEAR. A SHORT TERM LEASE OF
THIRTY FIVE YEARS OR LESS FROM
THE SLA AND AS I SAID I'VE
TAKEN- THE COMMITTEE
RECOMMENDATIONS AT FIFTEEN. AND
FINALLY SB SEVEN FORTY SEVEN
MAKES AN IMPORTANT TRANSPARENCY
AND ACCOUNTABILITY REFORMS TO
THE SLA IT REQUIRES A LOCAL
AGENCY DOES DECLARATION AND
EXEMPTS SURPLUS LAND. IS PRESUME
CONCLUSIVE CONCLUSIVE UNLESS A
CLEAR ABUSE OF DISCRETION IS
ESTABLISHED AND- AS I SAID WE'VE
GOTTEN RID OF THAT AS WELL. SO
THE BILL PROVIDES DUE PROCESS
FOR LOCAL GOVERNMENTS BY
REQUIRING A CD TO CREATE AN
INDEPENDENT APPEALS PROCESS IF
THE DEPARTMENT PURSUES AN
ADVERSE ACTION AGAINST THE LOW
LOCAL AGENCY RIGHT NOW. IF
YOU'RE FIND BY- H. CD INVIOLATE
BECAUSE YOU'RE IN VIOLATION OF
THE SLA THAT'S THE END OF IT
THAT'S THE END THERE'S NO
APPEALS PROCESS AND WE THINK
IT'S IMPORTANT LOCAL GOVERNMENT
HAVE THAT RIGHT. LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS HAVE THE
RESPONSIBILITY TO BUILD HOUSING
AND SUPPORT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
WITHIN THEIR COMMUNITIES BOTH OF
THE LAWS THE ECONOMIC
DEVELOPMENT LINE SURPLUS LAND
ACT ARE A CRITICAL COMPONENT TO
EACH ENSURE THAT HAPPENS.
HOWEVER THAT THE LEGISLATURE HAS
A RESPONSIBILITY AND TO ENSURE
THAT THE LAWS PASSED DO NOT
INADVERTENTLY PUNISHED LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS THAT ARE GENUINELY
WORKING TO ADVANCE DEVELOPMENT
THIS SUPPORT THE NEEDS OF THEIR
COMMUNITY. WITH ME TODAY TO
TESTIFY IN SUPPORT. AND ASSERT
THAT CONVERSATION IT I BELIEVE
IT'S- KEREN LAUREL CITY MANAGER
WITH SACRAMENTO BUT I HAVE TO
SAY THAT- THERE'S A LITTLE BIT
BECAUSE OF CONCERN THAT HAS BEEN
RAISED BECAUSE OF THE COMMITTEE
AMENDMENTS AND SO- I'M NOT SURE
WHO'S GONNA BE HERE TO TESTIFY
IN SUPPORT. SO I RESPECTFULLY
ASK FOR YOUR ABOUT. OKAY ANY
SUPPORT PLEASE COME FORWARD. PAN
AM CENTER COPYRIGHT DATE AS WE
FOR SOMEONE A THANK YOU FOR
WORKING WITH THE COMMITTEE- FOR
ACCEPTING THE AMENDMENTS ARE YOU
I DO THIS BILL. AS A WORK IN
PROGRESS YES- IT'S A REALLY
REALLY BIG BILL AND- BENEFIT IS
FIVE UNIPOINT ISSUE THAT THEIR
CITIES YOU WANT TO HAVE MORE
FLEXIBILITY- AND THIS WILL BE
OUR- ALONG OUR ROUTE ANYTHING
FOR YOU AND I THINK IT'LL BE-
REAL PROCESS WHICH IS A GOOD
THING IT'S IMPORTANT ISSUE. AND
YOU KNOW I'M COMMITTING TO YOU
THAT WILL CONTINUE TO WORK.
TOGETHER ON THIS- SO THAT YOU
CAN HAVE- YOU KNOW STRONG BILL
THAT- ACCOMPLISHES YOUR- YOUR
YOUR GOAL AND ALSO FOR OTHERS-
THE STATE'S HOUSING GOALS THANK
YOU FOR THAT MISTER KAREN IN IF
I COULD- I THINK THERE'S A
LITTLE BIT OF CONCERN. AND WHAT
WE WERE LOOKING FOR DATA I THINK
WE BOTH AGREE THAT WHAT WE WANT
IS WE WANT TO- WE DON'T WANNA.
COMMUNITIES OFF THE HOOK THAT
REFUSED TO BUILD THEIR FOR
DOUBLE HOUSING BUT WE ALSO WANT
TO RECOGNIZE THAT THERE ARE SOME
THAT ARE REALLY- DOING THE RIGHT
THING AND SO HOW DO YOU
EVALUATE. BETWEEN THAT AND- I
THINK WE TRIED TO STRIKE STRIKE
SOMETHING IN THE MIDDLE- I'M NOT
SURE THAT IT'S GOING TO WORK FOR
A LOT OF THE COMMUNITIES THAT
WERE IN SUPPORT BUT WE'LL GO
BACK HAVE THE CONVERSATIONS AND
CONTINUE OUR DISCUSSION. FOR
SHOPS- YOU MAY PROCEED. THANK
YOU MISTER CHAIR AND- GOOD

STUDY OF CITY MANAGER WITH
SACRAMENTO WHICH ACTUALLY WAS
ONE OF THE FIRST FROM HOUSING A
DESTINATION CITIES. BUT I AM
HERE JUST TO BE CLEAR IN IN
REPRESENTING CALENDAR MEMBERS-
YOU KNOW WE DO HAVE CONCERNS
ABOUT THE MINUTES MAINLY BECAUSE
ULTIMATELY WE DON'T WANT TO
UNDERMINE. THE APPLICATION OF
THE ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY LAW AND
MORE SO- WE DON'T WANT TO OVER
THE LIMIT THE BENEFITS OF WHAT
SB SEVEN FORTY SEVEN WAS
INTENDED TO ACCOMPLISH- BUT WE
DO WANT TO BE PART OF THAT GOING
FORWARD IS BECAUSE- IT'S SO
IMPORTANT FOR CITIES TO HAVE. A
VERY DIRECT ROLE. IN ASSEMBLING
A PROPERTY FOR DEVELOPMENT NOT
JUST FOR. A HOUSING AND
AFFORDABLE HOUSING BUT ALSO
MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT IT CREATES
A REALLY. HEALTHY NEIGHBORHOODS
A COMMUNITIES WITH THE RETAIL

EXCELLENT STAFF. FOR THEIR
WILLINGNESS TO TALK WITH US AND
TALK ABOUT THE MEASURE WHICH WE
AGREE IS VERY IMPORTANT- AS A
SAID IN OUR LETTER- WHICH ARE
RECOGNIZED AS AN REFLECT THE
MOST RECENT AMENDMENTS WHICH WE
LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING OUT AS
WELL. WE'RE CONCERNED WITH THE
CREATION OF AN ALTERNATIVE
PROCESS FOR SURPLUS LAND
DISPOSITION THAT COULD UNDERMINE
THE PURPOSE OF THE SLA- YOU KNOW
OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS
ADDRESSES NOTED THE COMMITTEE
NOW. THAT'S ALWAYS HELPED US
BUILD ABOUT SIX THOUSAND
AFFORDABLE UNITS. MANY OF WHICH
WERE UNLIKELY TO MOVE FORWARD IF

EXEMPTION SAID SO AS WELL.
ANOTHER JUSTIN'S ADJUSTMENTS AND
DEFINITIONS EVERYTHING COVERED
WHERE THE OF A BROADER
STAKEHOLDER CONVERSATION- YEAH
WE AND THE FOR HONORABLY THE
ESSAYS A VERY IMPORTANT TOOL FOR
US AND IT DOES NOT PREVENT
CITIES FROM MOVING FORWARD WITH

THAT THERE LEGAL UNCERTAINTIES
AND OTHER FIXES I AM VERY MUCH
LOOKING FORWARD TO HAVING A
CONVERSATION AND APPRECIATE THE
AUTHOR'S WORK AND HER STAFF-
INTERESTING HAVE MISCONCEPTIONS

THE AUTHOR'S INTEREST IN

AREAS IN THE BILL THAT WE THINK
AND COULD FURTHER THE INTERESTS
OF OUR LOCAL PARTNERS AND
AFFORDABLE HOUSES. ENSURING THE
CITIES HAVE PERHAPS AN IMPROVED
ABILITY TO ADDRESS SA VIOLATIONS
AND IMPROVE NOTICE FOR ME TO DO
AMONGST THE GUIDELINES. SO WE'RE
LOOKING FORWARD TO LOOK AT THE
AMENDMENTS AND WORKING WITHOUT

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT IN OUR JOBS
AT THE SAME TIME. SO THANK YOU

SUPPORT. VERSION OF. FORTY
SEVEN. ME TOO EARLY NO ONE ELSE
IN THE CHAOS CARE WILL BRING
BACK- TO THE COMMITTEE ANY
QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS YOU CENTER
ON BURKE. THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR
THANK YOU SENATE CAREER YOU AND
I'VE HAD EXTENSIVE CONVERSATIONS
ABOUT THE SURPLUS LANDS ACT.
EITHER FORTUNATELY OR
UNFORTUNATELY- THE CITY OF
ANAHEIM. THE FORMER MAYOR AND
MANY OF THE FORMER COUNCIL
MEMBERS- IN THE ANAHEIM ANGELS
DEMONSTRATED THE LOOPHOLES AND
DEMONSTRATE A ROADMAP AS TO HOW
TO GET AROUND THE SURPLUS LANDS
ACT WITHOUT REALLY ANY SORT OF
A- PENALTY- AND I'M PLEASED TO
SEE THAT YOU'RE ACTIVELY
LEGISLATING IN THIS AREA AND UP
ONE OF THE CONCERNS THAT THAT WE
HAD AND I THINK YOU SHOULD AS
WELL AS- IS THE ABILITY TO. GET
AROUND THE SURPLUS LANDS ACT
WITH THE WITH THE LEASE AND SO
THERE'S SOME CONVERSATION ABOUT
WHAT THE SWEET SPOT IS- IN TERMS
OF LEASE IS CLEARLY A NINETY
NINE YEAR LEASES PURCHASE A ONE
YEAR LEASE IS NOT- BAD I'M I'M
GRATEFUL FOR YOU AND A GREAT FOR
THE CHAIR FOR GAUGING IS. VERY
VERY IMPORTANT CONVERSATION TO
SUPPORT THE BILL BUT I KNOW
THAT- WILL CONTINUE TO WORK ON
AND AS IT MOVES THROUGH THE
LEGISLATURE SO. THANK YOU MR
THANK YOU CENTER BOOKS PAYER.
YES THANK YOU- THANK YOU TO THE
AUTHOR FOR BRINGING THIS FORWARD
AND THE CHAIRED. SPOKE ABOUT THE
COMPLEXITY IN THIS AREA AND THIS
BEING A REALLY- AMBITIOUS BILL I
KNOW THERE ARE MULTIPLE
DIFFERENT POLICY GOALS THAT WE
HAVE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
AFFORDABLE HOUSING LOCAL CONTROL
AMONG OTHERS. AND I JUST WANT TO
STATE FARM FROM MY PERSPECTIVE
TO YOU AS THE AUTHOR TO THE
CHAIR TO THE COMMITTEE THAT'S
ALL TO THE PUBLIC. THAT WHAT A
GOAL THAT I THINK WE NEED TO
GIVE MORE VOICE TO THAT IS
HEAVILY IMPACTED IN THE SURPLUS
LANDS ACT. IS THE REALITY OF
PUBLIC PROPERTY TRANSFERRING TO
PRIVATE OWNERSHIP SO EVEN WHEN
THE SURPLUS LAND ACT DEVELOP SIX
THOUSAND HOUSING UNITS. IT WHEN
THOSE ARE ONLY DEED RESTRICTED
AFFORDABLE FOR A TERM OF
WHATEVER IT IS THIRTY YEARS
FIFTY FIVE YEARS NINETY NINE
YEARS. IF IT IF IT ACTUALLY AT
THE END GOES INTO PRIVATE
OWNERSHIP TO ME THAT SEEMS LIKE
IT'S NOT ACCOMPLISHING THE GOALS
THAT WE HAVE HERE AT THE STATE.
AND WE ARE I KNOW I RECOGNIZE
THAT A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT
AGENCIES THAT MIGHT END UP
BUYING THIS LAND WHEN IT'S
DETERMINED TO BE QUOTE SURPLUS.
IT COULD BE PUBLIC AGENCIES BUT
THEY ALSO AREN'T PUBLIC AGENCIES
AND SO EARLIER IN THIS SAME
COMMITTEE HEARING WE WERE
TALKING ABOUT. PUBLIC HOUSING
AND SOCIAL HOUSING AND WE WERE
TALKING ABOUT AGE CD TRYING TO
ACQUIRE LAND AND HOUSING AND
TRYING TO REACH. REESTABLISH
OWNERSHIP OVER HOUSING AND LAND
AND MAKE IT PUBLIC. AND SO TO ME
IT SEEMS SHORT SIGHTED TO BE
DISPOSING OF PROPERTY IN MASS.
SO I JUST I WANT TO JUST. PUT
THAT OUT THERE IS SOMETHING THAT
I INTEND TO GIVE VOICE TO
REPEATEDLY THAT WE SHOULD BE
SETTING UP SYSTEMS WHERE PUBLIC.
LAND IS NOT THEN TRANSFERRED
INTO PRIVATE OWNERSHIP AS WE ARE
STRUGGLING TO PROVIDE MORE
AFFORDABLE HOUSING ESPECIALLY
MORE AFFORDABLE HOUSING IS
ACTUALLY OWNED BY PUBLIC
AGENCIES. SO I WILL SUPPORT THIS
TODAY I RECOGNIZE ITS STILL IN
PROCESS. BUT I DO HAVE- I'M JUST
VERY DEEP CONCERNS ABOUT ABOUT
MORE OPPORTUNITIES TO HAVE THAT
HAPPEN MORE QUICKLY THANK YOU.
WELL YOU MAKE A REALLY GOOD
POINT- WHICH IS DIFFERENT THAN
WHAT THE BILL DOES IT WHICH IS
REALLY DIFFERENT THE WAY THAT
THE AND THE- THEN WHAT SLA WAS
WAS DOING IN THE FIRST PLACE- SO
IT'S I THINK IT'S WORTH-
CONTINUING JUST A DISCUSSION.
ABOUT IT- THAT THAT. THE
CHALLENGE BECAUSE WE ARE
SPENDING A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF
RESOURCES TRYING TO GET BACK
AFFORDABILITY AND- HAVE
COVENANTS TO KEEP IT AFFORDABLE.
IN IN OTHER CONTEXTS THAT FOR A
LONGER TIME NUMBER ONE NUMBER
TWO THAT ISSUE THAT YOU RAISED
THE ISSUE I'VE BEEN CONCERNED
ABOUT WITH HOME KEY. IS IT WE
GRANTED ALL OF THESE RESOURCES
BUT WE HAVEN'T INSURED. THAT IF
A MOTEL IS PURCHASED OR IF IT'S
LEAST THAT IT STAYS IN PUBLIC
HANDS. FOR EVER THAT IT THAT IT
GETS ITS DEED RESTRICTED- AND SO
WE PROBABLY SHOULD HAVE A
DISCUSSION ON THAT TOO BECAUSE I
THINK THERE'S- THERE'S SOME
VALIDITY THAT NIGHT I AGREE WITH
CREE I. APPRECIATE YOU BRINGING
IT UP. SEVEN ZERO. RIGHT CENTER
CABRIO THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR
TAKING THE SIGN BECAUSE- THERE
THIS PROGRAM IS GOING ON A
COUPLE A FEW YEARS NOW. AND
WE'RE SEEING THE RESULTS AND-
SOME OF THE- THEN UNINTENDED
CONSEQUENCES THAT THIS LAW HAS
HAS CREATED. AND ONE OF THE
CONCERNS I HAD- AS IN WORK WITH
GOT UNDERSTAND WE'RE A LITTLE
DIFFERENT WE DON'T HAVE AN ANGEL
STADIUM- TO SENATOR UMBERG- THE
POINT OVER THERE. IS WE HAVE
CITIES IN MY DISTRICT THAT ARE
FAIRLY NEWER CITIES AND THEY
DON'T HAVE AN OLD DOWNTOWN A LOT
OF THEM ARE CREATING THEIR
DOWNTOWN WHICH MEANS THEY'VE
CREATED A CIVIC CENTER IN WHICH
THEY'RE GOING TO BUILD HIGHER
DENSITY AROUND THAT CIVIC
CENTER. AND AND THAT ALL DEPENDS
ON A FORMULA FOR FINANCING AND-
ACCEPTING BONDS TO BUILD CITY
HALLS AND POLICE STATIONS AND
LIBRARIES AND- AND SENIOR
CITIZEN CENTERS. AND WHEN THEY
PUT THOSE IN THE CIVIC CENTER
THE IDEA IS THAT YOU WILL BUILD-
JOBS IN OUR ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY
FOR THE PEOPLE THAT ARE ABLE TO
LIVE AROUND IT AND THEIR BARI
ABLE TO WALK. WALK TO THESE- THE
THIRTY FIVE YEAR TO FIFTEEN YEAR
GROUND LEASE IS AN ISSUE FOR
THAT BECAUSE BUILT INTO THAT
ECONOMIC PLANNING I CAN SPEAK
SPECIFICALLY TO. THE ONE I WAS
INVOLVED IN- THE ECONOMIC PLAN
WAS THAT WE WOULD WE WOULD BOND
FOR SOME OF THE DAY- NECESSARY
BUILDINGS TO GO IN FIRST. AND
THEN FOR THE ANCILLARY BUILDINGS
THAT COULD INCLUDE PARKING
STRUCTURES A- YOU KNOW CIVIC
CENTER TYPE THING WHERE WE HAVE
A CIVIC AUDITORIUM WITH OFFICES
AND OTHER- EMPLOYMENT.
GENERATING OPPORTUNITIES COULD
BE BUILT VIA PRIVATE SO WE HAVE
A PUBLIC PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP AND
THE PUBLIC PARTNERSHIP PART OF
IT IS THAT WE DO THE GROUND
LEASE. AND NOBODY WILL BUILD A
PRIVATE- WILL COME IN ON THE
PRIVATE SIDE. TO BE A PARTNER IN
THAT IF THEY HAVE A FIFTEEN YEAR
LEASE FOR WHICH TO. YOU KNOW BE
ABLE TO REACH THREE GET THEIR
FUNDS YOU KNOW BACK- SO IN THE
IN OTHER WORDS THERE'S NO RETURN
ON INVESTMENT FOR THEM IN THAT.
SO THAT KIND OF CLOSES THE DOOR
ON THAT- THE PRO HOUSING
DESIGNATION ALSO CONCERNS ME
BECAUSE- YOU COULD JUST ABOUT
PUT EVERYBODY IN THAT CATEGORY
THAT WENT THROUGH FROM TWO
THOUSAND TEN GET TWO THOUSAND
SIXTEEN. BECAUSE NOTHING WAS
BEING BUILT ESPECIALLY OUT IN
THE AREAS- LIKE I REPRESENT
THOSE OF THE URBAN RINGS THOSE
ARE NOT ARE YOU THE SUBURBAN
RINGS- AND THERE WAS NOTHING
BEING BUILT OUT THERE BECAUSE
THAT'S- THE FIRST TO COME OUT
WHEN IT. WHEN YOU GO INTO A
RECESSION AND THE LAST TO COME
OUT OF THE RECESSION WHEN YOU
COME OUT. AND SO THERE'S NO
APPLICATIONS- THERE'S NO BUILDER
INTEREST- BEFORE TWO THOUSAND
SIXTEEN OR SEVENTEEN BY THE TIME
YOU GET THROUGH A PROCESS YOU'RE
OUT OF THAT RIENECK CATEGORY
INTO THE NEXT. SO IT'S KIND OF
OFFENSIVE FOR THOSE CITIES TO BE
DECLARED PRO HOUSING- NOT NOT TO
HAVE THAT PRO HOUSING
DESIGNATION BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T
BUILD THE A RIGHT AMOUNT OF
HOUSING. BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T AND
NEITHER DID THE DEVELOPERS AND
THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE INTEREST TO
DO SO. AND THOSE ECHO THE
ECONOMY WASN'T THERE FOR THEM TO
DO THAT EITHER- MIDNIGHT I GET A
LITTLE- I HAVE A LITTLE
CONSTERNATION WHEN OUR
NONPROFITS COME UP IN AND THINK.
THAT SOMEHOW THAT'S YOU KNOW
THIS CITIES ARE TRYING TO AVOID
MAKING LAND THAT THEY OWN
AVAILABLE. TO NONPROFITS IS NOT
ALL LAND THAT'S AVAILABLE FOR
NON PROFITS. ARE TODAY. THAT
WOULD FALL UNDER THIS WOULD
WOULD BE BENEFICIAL. TO EITHER
THEM OR THE COMMUNITY AT THE END
OF THE DAY NONPROFIT DEVELOPERS
ARE DEVELOPERS THEY JUST MAKE
MONEY A DIFFERENT WAY. AND AND
YEAH I THINK IT'S IMPERATIVE-
THAT DAY COOPERATE WITH CITIES.
TO BE ABLE TO BUILD THE PRODUCTS
IN THE RIGHT PLACE AT THEM YOU
KNOW IN THE RIGHT AMOUNT. AND BE
ABLE TO HELP US. HELP THE
CITY'S- A- YOU KNOW GET TO THAT
NUMBER THE NUMBERS THAT THEY
NEED SO THAT THEY ARE IN
COMPLIANCE. WITH THE OTHER PART
OF THAT IS WE GOT TO GIVE HIM
TIME TO GET BACK IN COMPLIANCE.
BECAUSE WE HAD A DECADE WHERE
WHERE ARE. BUYER KANEMI WAS NOT.
GOOD AT ALL. MY HOUSING PRICES I
REMEMBER THEY DIDN'T RECOVER
TILL TWO THOUSAND SEVENTEEN. AND
NOTHING WAS BEING BUILT NOTHING
. SO YOU KNOW WE'RE PUNISHING
CITIES WITH LABELS LIKE THIS AND
THEN. WE'RE TAKING AWAY THE
MECHANISMS THEY TRIED TO CREATE
SO THAT NOT ONLY WILL YOU HAVE
ENTRY LEVEL HOUSING FOR PEOPLE
WE ACTUALLY HAVE JOBS FOR THEM.
SO THAT THEY CAN AFFORD THAT
ENTRY LEVEL HOUSING AND THEN TO
MOVE UP. AND SO THAT'S WHAT I'M
LOOKING FOR AND IN THE BILL LIKE
YOURS IS TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT
AND SOME OF THE AMENDMENTS THAT
I'M SEEING. ARE KIND OF TAKEN
AWAY FROM THAT ESPECIALLY THE
GROUND LEAST ONE. BECAUSE I
GROUND LEASES IMPORTANT FOR
CITIES. THAT ARE DEPENDING ON
THAT TO BE ABLE TO INCREASE. THE
ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY THAT IT'S
AROUND THOSE CIVIC CENTERS. AND
AND SO- YOU KNOW I'M I'M
ABSOLUTELY SUPPORTING YOUR BILL-
I'M RESERVING THE RIGHT TO VOTE
NO IF IT GETS TOO CHOPPED UP-
BUT- WE REALLY NEED. TO HAVE A
GOOD LOOK AT THIS AND STOP
LOOKING AT THROUGH THE LENS OF
THAT YOU KNOW THE CITIES ARE
TRYING TO GET AWAY WITH THIS.
AND AGAIN PUTTING OUR THUMB ON
THE SCALE. SO THAT EVERYBODY
ELSE HAS THAT ADVANTAGE AND THE
CITY'S WIND UP HAVING THEIR
PLANS FOR THEIR COMMUNITIES
DECIMATED- BY WHAT WE'RE DOING.
SO SUPER APPRECIATE THE BILL.
THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME HAVE MY
SAY. AND THANK YOU AND IF I
COULD CLARIFY IS IT THAT THE
AMENDMENT ON THE PRO HOUSING.
THE PRO HOUSING- DESIGNATION ARE
MEASURES THAT CITIES. PASS THAT
SHOW THAT THEY'RE READY TO BUILD
THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING THOSE
KINDS OF THINGS- WHAT WHAT WE
STAYED AWAY FROM- WAS THE- THE
NUMBER OF. THE RENOWNED NUMBER
THE PERCENTAGE OF RENIN NUMBERS
IT WAS BUILT FOR EXACTLY THAT
THE REASON YOU SAID. IS THAT- I
WASN'T SURE THAT ANYBODY ARE
VERY MANY CITIES OR COUNTIES.
PARTICULAR CITIES BUILT THE
READING AND NUMBER IN THE LAST
CYCLE IT WAS A TERRIBLE CYCLE
AND- IT IT IT DOESN'T SEEM TO
MAKE A LOT OF SENSE TO ME SO WE
WENT TO SOMETHING THAT REALLY
SHOWS THAT. THE INTEREST IN THE
IN THE COMMUNITY TO DO PRO
HOUSING THINGS- AND- AND I
BELIEVE THAT'S A REALLY GOOD
SIGN THAT THE COMMUNITIES READY
AND THAT THERE THEY SHOULD BE
ABLE TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS
JUST SO YOU KNOW THANK YOU AND I
ENJOY BEING A CO AUTHOR I JUST A
LITTLE BIT- GETTING LEERY OF
THE- THE UNDERSTAND WE'RE
GETTING INTO HIGH UNDERSTAND.
WHAT WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO
WORK WORK ON IT AND THAT MAKE
THAT COMMITMENT. THANK YOU
CENTERS THEY ARE TO HAVE ANY
OTHER COMMENTS OR- QUESTIONS ON
BEHALF FOR MEMBERS WHO DIES. THE
NINE. YOU'RE MY KIND OF RIGHT.
SORRY NO COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS-
FROM THE DIET- CENTER CAREER
WOULD YOU LIKE TO CLOSE- THANK
YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE ROBUST
DISCUSSION ON THIS IS NOT AN
EASY BILL AND I REALLY
APPRECIATE ALL THE COMMENTS- NO
THAT- SENATOR WIENER CAMPBELL
AND I WILL CONTINUE TO WORK ON
THIS. AND I EXPECT IT'S GOING TO
COME BACK DIFFERENT BY THE TIME
WE GET OUT OF THE- OUT OF THE
ASSEMBLY AS WELL BECAUSE THERE'S
A REAL STRONG OPINIONS ON THAT
IS ON ON IT AS WELL SO.

THAT'S OK YES PERFECTLY FINE.
THANK YOU- MADAM CHAIR MADAM
VICE CHAIR PLEASED TO PRESENT S.
B. SEVENTEEN WHICH WOULD
INCREASE THE STATE PRODUCTION OF
AFFORDABLE HOUSING FOR OLDER
ADULTS. AS WE HAVE HEARD OVER
THE COURSE OF SEVERAL HEARINGS
OLDER ADULTS ARE THE LARGEST
GROWING POPULATION EXPERIENCING
HOMELESSNESS FOR THE FIRST TIME.
ACCORDING TO RECENT REPORTING BY
CALMATTERS IN JUST FOUR YEARS
THE STATE'S OVERALL INCREASE IN
THE SENIOR POPULATION SENIOR
HOMELESS POPULATION. WELL NO
SENIOR POPULATION GREW BY 7% BUT
THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE OLDER THAN
FIFTY FIVE SEEKING HOMELESSNESS
SERVICES INCREASED BY EIGHTY
FOUR PERCENT. OLDER ADULTS FIRST
ESPECIALLY VULNERABLE TO
CIRCUMSTANCES THAT LEAD TO
HOMELESSNESS MANY LET ALONE ON
FIXED INCOME AND HAVE LITTLE OR
NO SAVINGS AND THE SLIGHTEST
UNEXPECTED EXPENSE. IS A
FINANCIAL DISASTER WHICH CAN
FORCE THEM TO MAKE TOUGH CHOICES
LIKE PAYING RENT- PUT PUTTING
FOOD ON THE TABLE. WELL THERE
ARE MANY REASONS THAT LEAD TO
FINANCIAL AND SECURITY THE
INCREASED COST OF LIVING AND
RAISING RATES RISING RENTS. CAN
QUICKLY JEOPARDIZE AN
INDIVIDUAL'S HOUSING SECURITY.
CALIFORNIA'S TIGHT HOUSING
MARKET FURTHER EXACERBATES THE
UNAFFORDABILITY. IN ORDER TO
CORRECT THE PROBLEM THE STATE
NEEDS TO BUILT OVER THREE
MILLION HOMES ONE THIRD OF WHICH
SHOULD BE BE MADE AVAILABLE TO
LOW INCOME HOUSEHOLDS. HOWEVER
LOW INCOME HOUSING IS ESPECIALLY
HARD BILL BECAUSE IT IS OFTEN
NOT ECONOMICALLY FEASIBLE
WITHOUT A SUBSIDY WHICH IS WHY A
VARIETY OF THE STATE AND FEDERAL
FUNDING SOURCES ARE AVAILABLE TO
HELP LOWER THE COST FOR
DEVELOPERS. I CRITICAL FIFTH
FUNDING MECHANISM FOR AFFORDABLE
HOUSING CONSTRUCTION IS THE LOW
INCOME HOUSING TAX CREDIT. LIHTC
WHICH CREATES IN THIS AND SENATE
FOR PRIVATE DEVELOPERS TO BUILD
LOW INCOME HOUSING. L. H. TI SI
IS ADMINISTERED THROUGH THE TAX
CREDIT ALLOCATION COMMITTEE THE
CAC WITHIN THE STATE TREASURER'S
OFFICE. THROUGH THE PRO TEACHER
AT TO RADIO GOALS FOR THE
ALLOCATION OF TAX CREDITS
INCLUDING AT LEAST 15% OF THE
CREDIT SHOULD BE ALLOCATED FOR
AFFORDABLE SENIOR HOUSING
PROJECTS. WELL THIS DOES NOT
GUARANTEE 15% OF LIHTC CREDITS
WILL BE AWARDED TO SENIOR
HOUSING PROJECTS IT'S HELP TO
SET A PRIORITY. HOWEVER IF THE
CAC SETS A GOAL IT SHOULD BETTER
REFLECT CURRENT NEED ACCORDING
TO RECENT SET CENSUS DATA JUST
OVER 20% OF LOW INCOME RENTERS
ARE SENIORS. THROUGH INSURE TAX
CREDITS BETTER SERVE THIS
POPULATION SB SEVENTEEN RECALL
REQUIRES TO CAC TO ADOPT A NEW
SENIOR HOUSING GOAL OF TWENTY
PERCENT. WITH ME TO TESTIFY IN
SUPPORT. IS AT MEGAN ROSE WITH
LEADING H. CALIFORNIA. HELLO
WILL NOW PROCEED WITH OUR LEAD
WITNESSES IN SUPPORT OF S. B.
SEVENTEEN. GOOD EVENING MY NAME
IS MEGAN ROSE I'M HERE WITH
LEADING EDGE CALIFORNIA. THANK
YOU SO MUCH SENATOR FOR YOUR
LEADERSHIP AND HELPING TO
ADDRESS THE CRISIS OF OLDER TO
HOMELESSNESS WE TEACH CALIFORNIA
IS A MEMBERSHIP ASSOCIATION
REPRESENTING NONPROFIT PROVIDERS
OF HOUSING CARE AND SERVICES.
ACROSS OUT OF HOSPITAL AGING
CONTINUE ON. AS A SENATOR SO
ELOQUENTLY STATED HOMELESSNESS
AMONG OUR OLDER ADULTS IS ON THE
RISE HALF OF OUR HOMELESSNESS
POPULATION IS AGE FIFTY AND
OVER. AND OF THAT POPULATION
HALF OF THEM DIDN'T BECOME AND
HOUSED UNTIL AFTER AGE FIFTY.
AND THIS IS A GROWING PROBLEM
BECAUSE OUR HOUSING COSTS HAVE
INCREASED SO MUCH IN PROPORTION
TO OUR FIXED INCOMES SAYS WE
KNOW MANY OLDER ADULTS LIVE ON
FIXED INCOMES. THE MAXIMUM SSI
BENEFIT FOR A SINGLE INDIVIDUAL
LIVING INDEPENDENTLY IN
CALIFORNIA IS ELEVEN HUNDRED
DOLLARS MEANWHILE THE FAIR
MARKET RENT FOR A STUDIO
APARTMENT IN CALIFORNIA'S
FOURTEEN HUNDRED DOLLARS. SO IT
LITERALLY MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE
FOR MANY OLDER ADULTS TO LIVE
INDEPENDENTLY. WITHOUT
AFFORDABLE HOUSING ARE PORTABLE
HOUSING PROVIDERS REPORT THAT
THEY ARE SEEING A WEIGHTLESS
FIVE TO SEVEN YEARS LONG IN MANY
CASES. SO IF YOU'RE AN OLDER
ADULT WAITING FOR AFFORDABLE
HOUSING IN CALIFORNIA THAT CAN
LITERALLY BE A DEATH SENTENCE A
LOT OF OLDER ADULTS DYING
WAITING TO GET INTO AFFORDABLE
HOUSING. WE ARE VERY SUPPORTIVE
AND I AM PROUD SPONSORS OF SB
SEVENTEEN BECAUSE WE'RE JUST
HOPING TO KIND OF MOVE THE
NEEDLE IN OUR HOUSING POLICY TO
HELP ADDRESS THE NEEDS OF OLDER
ADULTS. CAN REALLY ALIGN OUR
HOUSING POLICY WITH THE NEEDS OF
OUR GROWING OLDER ADULT
POPULATION WITH BY TWENTY FORTY
CALIFORNIA WILL HAVE SIX HUNDRED
AND TWENTY THREE THOUSAND NEW
RENTER HOUSEHOLDS THAT ARE OLDER
ADULTS. FOLDER ADULTS. 72% OF
THOSE ARE HOUSEHOLDS OF COLOR
AND SO WE REALLY NEED TO ADDRESS
OUR HOUSING POLICY TO MEET THE
DEMANDS OF THIS GROWING
POPULATION. FOR OLDER ADULTS
HOUSING IS HEALTH CARE AND SO IF
WE CANNOT HOUSE THEM IT MAKES IT
VERY DIFFICULT FOR THEM TO
BRIDGE INTO THE LONG TERM CARE
CONTINUUM THAT WE HAVE IN
CALIFORNIA. AND SO WITH THAT-
WE'RE RESPECTFULLY REQUEST YOUR
VOTE THANK YOU SO MUCH. THANK
YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TESTIMONY
DO WE HAVE ANY OTHER LEAD

GOAL OR AID AGE RELATED TRAINING
FOR HOMELESS SERVICE WORKERS TO
BETTER PREPARE THEM TO ASSIST
OLDER ADULTS EXPERIENCING
HOMELESSNESS THE HIGH COST OF
HOUSING AND THE LACK OF
RETIREMENT ASSETS HAS CREATED A
CRISIS AMONG THE SENIOR
POPULATION IN CALIFORNIA- OLDER
ADULTS ON SOCIAL SECURITY WITH A
FIXED INCOME. THAT ONLY
INCREASES NOMINALLY EXPERIENCE
DIFFICULT PAYING THEIR RENT AS
CALIFORNIA RENT SORT. AS YOU
HEARD BEFORE SOCIAL SECURITY
BENEFITS INCREASED FIVE POINT 9%
LAST YEAR WHICH IS AN AVERAGE OF
NINETY THREE DOLLAR INCREASE PER
MONTH FOR RETIRED SENIORS AND
ALTHOUGH IT WAS THE LARGEST
INCREASE IN FOR DECADES IT WAS
NOT ENOUGH TO SUSTAIN MOST RENT
INCREASES. APPROXIMATELY 40% OF
OLDER AMERICANS RELY SOLELY ON
THEIR SOCIAL SECURITY INCOME TO
GET BY AND THAT AVERAGES ABOUT
SIXTEEN HUNDRED DOLLARS A MONTH.
AS CALIFORNIA'S POPULATION
CONTINUES TO AGE AND THE
SCARCITY OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING
SUGGESTS THE NUMBER OF OLDER
ADULTS WHO ARE HOMELESS OR- IN
DANGER OF HOMELESSNESS- WILL
INCREASE- AND THAT'S AS A
SERIOUS ISSUE HOMELESS SHELTER
IN PREVENTION SERVICES. SAT
STAFF ARE AN IMPORTANT COMPONENT
OF THE SUCCESS OF ADDRESSING
CALIFORNIA'S HOMELESS CRISIS
HOWEVER THE MAJORITY OF THE
SUPPORT SUPPORT STAFF ARE NOT
TRAINED IN THE ISSUES AND
CONCERNS OF OLDER ADULTS. WHAT I
CAN SAY ABOUT ABOUT THAT IS THAT
ONE OF THE THINGS I LEARNED IN
TAKING CARE OF MY PARENTS AS THE
H. WHAT IS THAT THERE WERE THERE
ARE CIRCUMSTANCES THAT LEAD TO A
RAPID DECLINE IN. MENTAL
CAPACITY AND THAT'S BEING
ISOLATED FROM- ESTIMATE A
STIMULATING ENVIRONMENT- HAVING
HEARING PROBLEMS- THAT WRITTEN
BY OUR CAN BE EMBARRASSING BUT
ALSO KEEP YOU FROM HEARING.
CLEARLY WHAT'S GOING ON A NEW
TUNE OUT WHEN PEOPLE ARE TALKING
TO YOU- THE INABILITY TO GET
PHYSICAL EXERCISE. ALL OF THAT
REALLY SPEEDS UP MENTAL DECLINE
SIGNIFICANTLY AND SO THE
CHALLENGES IS IF YOU DON'T
UNDERSTAND THAT IS A SERVICE
PROVIDER IF YOU IF YOU'RE NOT
LOOKING. FOR THE KINDS OF THINGS
THAT CAN BE TELL TALE SIGNS OF
ISOLATION AND- AND- AND THE
BEGINNING OF MENTAL DECLINE THEN
YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO HOW TO
HANDLE. HANDLE THE SITUATION IN

THANK YOU VERY MUCH- MISTER
CHAIRMAN PLEASE TO PRESENT SB
SIX EIGHTY FOUR WHICH CREATES A
STREAMLINED PROCESS FOR
COMMUNITIES TO BUILD SMALL SCALE
HOMEOWNERSHIP PROJECTS. SINCE
TWENTY TEN CALIFORNIA'S
POPULATION GROWTH HAS FAR
EXCEEDED THE NUMBER OF NEW HOMES
BUILT A LACK OF NEW HOUSING
CONSTRUCTION HAS BEEN A KEY
FACTOR IN THE STATE'S
AFFORDABILITY CRISIS BECAUSE
SUPPLY SIMPLY HAS NOT KEEP KEPT
PACE WITH DEMAND. THE LACK OF
SUPPLY AND AFFORDABILITY HAS
ALSO CONTINUED TO DRIVE DOWN
CALIFORNIA'S HOMEOWNERSHIP RATES
AND DRIVE UP RENTAL COSTS IN
FACT THE AFFORDABLE BILITY
CRISIS SHOULD BECOME SO EXTREME
THAT HOMES NOW COST MORE THAN
EIGHT POINT FIVE TIMES THE
AVERAGE FAMILY SALARY. AS A
RESULT THE AMERICAN DREAM OF
HOMEOWNERSHIP IS NOW OUT OF
REACH FOR MANY CALIFORNIA
FAMILIES ESPECIALLY FAMILIES OF
COLOR JUST LIKE HOUSING
AFFORDABILITY HAS DRIVEN
HOMEOWNERSHIP RATES DOWN FOR
COMMUNITIES OF COLOR LOOKING
LOCAL PLANNING RULES HAVE ALSO
CREATED BARRIERS TO OWNERSHIP.
MANY COMMUNITY COMMUNITIES
THROUGHOUT THE STATE OF ENACTED
POLICIES THAT RESTRICT DENSER
DEVELOPMENT IN SINGLE FAMILY
NEIGHBORHOODS WHICH PREVENTS THE
CONSTRUCTION OF SMALL STARTER
HOMES WORKING FAMILIES CAN
AFFORD. UNDER EXISTING LAW THE
FRAMEWORK FOR DIVIDING LAND FOR
SALE LEASE OR FINANCING IS SET
FORTH UNDER THE SUBDIVISION MAP.
ACT OR MSA WHICH HAS BEEN ON THE
BOOKS SINCE THE MID NINETEEN
SEVENTIES. THE ESTIMATE CREATES
AN EXTENSIVE PERMITTING AND
APPROVAL PROCESS THAT OFTEN
DELAYS THE PERMITTING AND
CONSTRUCTION PHASES OF THE NEW
HOMES. WHAT THE ESTIMATE IS AN
IMPORTANT TOOL FOR BOTH LOCAL
AGENCIES AND DEVELOPERS THERE
ARE OPPORTUNITIES TO STREAMLINE
THE PROCESS TO HELP ALLOW
CONSTRUCTION TO BEGIN ADDED
EARLIER STAGE. SB SIX EIGHTY
FOUR EXPANDS THE TOOLS AVAILABLE
TO LOCAL GOVERNMENTS AND
DEVELOPERS TO STREAMLINE SMALL.
S. SMALL LOT SUBDIVISIONS FOR
THE CONSTRUCTION OF
HOMEOWNERSHIP PROJECTS TO CREATE
MORE LOWER COST HOMES.
SPECIFICALLY IT WILL SHORTEN THE
TIME FRAME FOR DEVELOPMENT BY
AUTHORIZING LOCAL AGENCIES. TO
ISSUE BILL BUILDING PERMITS ONCE
A TENTATIVE MAP HAS BEEN
RECORDED AND PROVIDES FOR
MINISTERIAL BY RIGHT APPROVAL.
SB SIX EIGHTY FOUR ALSO INCLUDES
IMPORTANT GUARDRAILS TO ENSURE
NEIGHBORHOOD CHARACTERISTICS OF
PRINT PRESERVED. SUCH AS
REQUIRING DEVELOPERS TO ABIDE BY
EXISTING SETBACKS AND HEIGHT
REQUIREMENTS INCLUDE ANY
AFFORDABILITY PROVISIONS
REQUIRED AT THE LOCAL LEVEL.
ADDITIONALLY ANY PROPOSED
DEVELOPMENT CAN CANNOT BE
GREATER THAN TEN UNITS ON PARCEL
FIVE EIGHT ACRES OR LESS AND
LOCATED ON PARCELS EITHER ZONE
FOR MULTI FAMILY. OR VACANT
PARCELS ZONED FOR SINGLE FAMILY
RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT. WITH ME
TODAY TO TESTIFY IN SUPPORT IS A
SERVICE AND MONDAY NOT ON BEHALF
OF CALIFORNIA YIMBY AND ERIC
PAYNE EXECUTIVE EXECUTIVE
DIRECTOR OF THE CENTER ABOUT
URBAN INSTITUTE. THANK YOU VERY
MUCH OF A PURSUIT. YEAH
COMMITTEE SYSTEMATIC NOT AND W.
STRATEGIES YOUR BEHALF OF
CALIFORNIAN BEEP AS PROUD
SPONSORS. OF THIS LEGISLATION-
GIVE ME IS A STATEWIDE
ORGANIZATION OF OVER EIGHTY
THOUSAND NEIGHBORS DEDICATED TO
MEETING MAKING HER STAY IN
AFFORDABLE PLACE TO LIVE WORK
AND RAISE A FAMILY FOR ALL
CALIFORNIANS. WELL THERE'S NO
SINGLE REASON FOR CALIFORNIA'S
HOUSING CRISIS THE L. A. O. HAS
IDENTIFIED THE UNDERSUPPLY OF
HOUSING AS ONE OF THE BIGGEST
CULPRITS IT HAS CONTRIBUTED TO
CALIFORNIA'S HIGH HOUSING COSTS.
AND WE HAVE THE THIRD HIGHEST
MEDIAN HOME PRICE AND THE SECOND
LOWEST HOMEOWNERSHIP RATE IN THE
NATION THIS IS MADE PAINFULLY
CLEAR RECENTLY- WHEN WE SAW THE
CALIFORNIA DREAM FOR ALL
PROGRAMS TWO HUNDRED EIGHTY
MILLION AND HOMEOWNERSHIP
FUNDING FULLY EXTINGUISHED.
WITHIN ONLY ELEVEN DAYS- SO
OBVIOUSLY THERE IS A NEED FOR
SUPPORT- TO INCREASE HOME
OWNERSHIP FOR CALIFORNIANS IN
THE STATE- THE LOW OWNERSHIP
NUMBERS ARE PARTICULARLY
CONCERNING WHEN WE CONSIDER THE
HOMEOWNERSHIP IS ONE OF THE MOST
IMPORTANT GENERATIONAL WEALTH
BUILDING TOOLS FOR FAMILIES. AND
THOSE HARDEST HIT BY THE
AFFORDABILITY CRISIS ARE PEOPLE
OF COLOR- A PRACTICAL TOOL TO
ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM IS BY
REMOVING BARRIERS TO AND THE
CONSTRUCTION OF MISSING MIDDLE
HOUSING WHICH THIS BILL WILL DO-
THIS REFERS TO A RANGE OF MULTI
UNIT ARE CLUSTERED HOUSING TYPES
COMPATIBLE IN SCALE WITH SINGLE
FAMILY HOMES IN THE
NEIGHBORHOOD. SUCH AS DUPLEXES
FOR PLEXUS COTTAGE CODES COURTS
AND TOWN HOMES. THE CREATION OF
THIS HOUSING CAN HAVE A POSITIVE
IMPACT ON THE AVAILABILITY OF
MORE AFFORDABLE STARTER HOMES
THAT ALLOW NEW BUYERS TO ENTER.
THE OTHERWISE COMPETITIVE
HOUSING MARKET- HOWEVER BARRIERS
SUCH AS THE LACK OF CLARITY
WITHIN THE SUBDIVISION MAP ACT
PREVENT SMALL SCALE DEVELOPERS
FROM BUILDING THESE HOUSING
OPTIONS. SB SIX EIGHTY FOUR-
ENCOURAGES THE CREATION OF THIS
MISSING MIDDLE HOUSING BY
STREAMLINING THE SMA. ALLOWING
SMALL PROJECTS OF TEN UNITS OR
LESS TO MOVE FORWARD SOONER IN
THE PROCESS. EVEN CRITICAL TIME
IN THE DEVELOPMENT. TIMELINE-
THERE- WELL THERE'S NO SILVER
BULLET TO SOLVING THE CRISIS
THERE ARE IMPORTANT STEPS WE CAN
TAKE. THAT WE CAN TAKE TO
ENCOURAGE HOUSING PRODUCTION.
AND SB SIXTY FOUR DOES JUST
THAT- IT'S FOR THESE REASONS WE
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR AYE
VOTE THANK YOU. THANK YOU NEXT
WEEK FOR. GOOD EVENING- CHAIR
AND MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE. MY
NAME IS ERIC PAIN MY PRONOUNS
ARE HE HIM- EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
OF THE CENTRAL VALLEY URBAN
INSTITUTE. A NONPROFIT BASED IN
THE HEART OF THE SAN JOAQUIN
VALLEY SERVING AS A POLICY
ADVOCACY RESEARCH AND ACTION
INSTITUTE. ADVANCING RACIAL AND
ECONOMIC JUSTICE BY EMPOWERING
AND EDUCATING OUR MOST
VULNERABLE RESIDENTS. WHO ARE
OFTEN ON THE MARGINS OF THE
DECISION MAKING PROCESS WE ARE
WORKING TO CLOSE THE RACIAL
WEALTH GAP FOCUSING ON HOUSING
AND HOME OWNERSHIP. AS AN
ORGANIZATION LED BY AND SERVING
PEOPLE OF COLOR I'M HERE TODAY
AS A PROUD CO SPONSOR OF SB SIX
EIGHTY FOUR. CALIFORNIA FACES A
HOUSING AFFORDABILITY CRISIS
THAT HAS SLAMMED THE DOOR SHUT
ON HOME OWNERSHIP FOR MILLIONS.
THIS ESSENTIAL LEGISLATION WILL
PRODUCE MORE HOMES THAT ARE
LOWER COST AND MORE ACCESSIBLE
TO FIRST TIME HOME BUYERS. BY
ENABLING. PRODUCTION OF SINGLE
FAMILY HOMES OR TOWNHOMES ON
LOTS THAT ARE SMALLER AND LESS
EXPENSIVE. CALIFORNIANS MEDIUM
LOT SIZE IS EIGHT THOUSAND AND
THREE HUNDRED SQUARE FEET AND
RESEARCH HAS FOUND THAT LAND
COSTS MAKE MORE MAKE UP MORE
THAN HALF THE PRICE OF A HOME.
IN PLACES LIKE LOS ANGELES SAN
DIEGO SALINAS SAN JOSE AND SAN
FRANCISCO. THE MATH DRIVING SB
SIX EIGHTY FOUR IS SIMPLE HOME
THAT COMES WITH LESS LAND WILL
COST LESS. MANY FAMILIES WANT
AND CAN AFFORD A LARGE HOME WITH
A LARGE BACKYARD. THESE FAMILIES
HAVE PLENTY OF OPTIONS IN
TODAY'S MARKET BUT TOO MANY
CAN'T BUY A HOME AND ALL BECAUSE
AFFORDABLE OPTIONS DON'T EXIST.
MANY FAMILIES AND I WOULD ARGUE
MANY MORE FAMILIES OF COLOR
WOULD LOVE TO BUY A HOME WITH
LESS LAND IF THAT MADE THE
AMERICAN RAME OF HOME OWNERSHIP
POSSIBLE FOR THEM. SB SIX EIGHTY
FOUR IT DOES JUST THAT MAKING
THESE TYPES OF HOMES MUCH MORE
COMMON CREATING INCREASED CHOICE
FOR DIVERSE FAMILIES. MY
ORGANIZATION IS DEEPLY INVESTED
IN THIS TOPIC BECAUSE WHAT HOME
OWNERSHIP IS THE WAY IN WHICH
MOST AMERICANS BUILD
INTERGENERATIONAL WEALTH. ONLY
FOUR IN TEN BLACK AND LATINO
CALIFORNIANS OWN THEIR OWN HOME.
COMPARED TO SIX SANTANA WHY
CALIFORNIANS. THAT'S ONE OF THE
MAIN REASONS WHY FOR EVERY
DOLLAR OF WEALTH HELD BY A WHITE
FAMILY BLACK AND LATINO FAMILIES
HAVE ABOUT SIXTEEN CENTS. AND I
KNOW WE CAN DO BETTER. HOME
OWNERSHIP IS BROADLY SHARED A
SHARED VALUE IN CALIFORNIA. SB
SIX EIGHTY FOUR REPRESENTS ONE
IMPORTANT STEP IN CREATING THEM
PORTENT. THE TECHNICAL STAFF
NEEDED TO ACTUALLY PRODUCE LOWER
COSTS FOR SALE HOUSING AND
MAKING THAT SHARE VALUE A
REALITY. THESE ARE NO SILVER
BULLETS WHEN IT COMES TO
ADDRESSING CALIFORNIA'S HOUSING
AND HOME OWNERSHIP CRISIS SB SIX
EIGHTY FOUR CREATES AN IMPORTANT
TOOL FOR BUILDING AFFORDABLE
HOMES AND BUILDING WEALTH FOR
EVERY CALIFORNIAN THANK YOU FOR
YOUR CONSIDERATION OF THIS
IMPORTANT MEASURE AND I
RESPECTFULLY REQUEST YOUR AYE
