California is a big state. Surely this only bans single family zoning in egregious areas like San Francisco and not other parts of California that don't have a housing crisis?

The whole state has a housing crises. Even the little towns in the sierras or way up north.

Surprised there aren’t more comments here. This is great news for affordable housing right?

SB9 is highly politicized, I'd assume a little much for Sat night for most of us haha :)

I imagine if this wound up higher on the page it would be flagged out

The rush to comment while relevant is getting out of hand frankly. Some things require actual research.

EDIT: However, I have some personal experience in single family zoned housing in the Bay Area, but I would really need to read up on the proposed changes first...

That said, I can say I felt very out of place and wish I had found a better, smaller place to live, for less.

Meanwhile, my first apt in SF was clearly built in a rush, the light switches were leaking, and homeless people would shoot up by the door. All for just over $3k/mo.

No thanks.

By definition, the places where land is abundant do not face market pressure to build dense
