#sb827 is radical change & authoritarian in nature. It de facto changes zoning of millions SFHs 2 fall w/i new transit hubs. Local residents effectively lose their right 2 be heard on neighborhood development projects. We don’t create fairer society by taking away people’s rights

Right. We create a fairer society by allowing existing residents to close the gates and prevent new residents from moving in. That's totally the history of American greatness. Also, 827 gives rights by enabling more development.

#sb827 1st changes the zoning designations of millions of properties created over years thru the democratic process & then denies residents in these neighborhoods the ability 2 object to any new housing based on density, height & lack of parking. Can’t see anything wrong w/ that?2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -

Also, you need to study your laws. 827 doesn't remove right to object. That's the housing accountability act. A much older law. Or did you not know the difference?

If you lost your right to confront and impeach witnesses at a trial would you still have right to a fair trial? The bill does not actually eliminate right to object to projects just like poll taxes did not eliminate right to vote but the practical effect is the same.

You want to compare sb827 to poll taxes, confronting witnesses, and fair trials? You should be ashamed as a lawyer. Where is it enshrined in the constitution that property owners should have individual veto power over their neighbors?

SB827 takes away rights local residents presently have & effectively transfers power over zoning decisions from local communities to Sacramento. Be honest. That is what you want. And that is what the bill does as a practical matter which why my analogies are dead on accurate.

There's accuracy and then there's racist. Your choice of that analogy is the troubling bit. Sb827 also gives local residents a lot more power. By letting them develop their lots more. Cities had their chance and left us with a massive shortage. It's time for Sacramento.

Oh it is all the fault of cities! How many times have we heard that. Cities do share some of the blame but not all. Sacramento has also played a significant role. But the bottom line is SB827 doesn’t necessarily create any greater housing next to mass transit

Ok here's a question! What do you think is the correct way to avoid sending San Leandro down the path of other suburbs right across the Bay, which were once middle-class and are now single-family home communities that are crazy unaffordable?

Because based on the office construction I'm seeing in Sunnyvale to Menlo Park to San Jose, I feel like San Leandro, Hayward, Union City are toast for the middle class.

Take a drive along Mission Blvd in Hayward. There are so many vacant/abandoned & under utilized properties. The major streets in South Hayward could all support substantially greater housing, just need private investment $.

Wonder what would happen if you had by right, decent density, and some inclusionary zoning there. Guarantee approvals in 120 days. And what if we did that every where. Because we need homes everywhere. http://www.politifact.com/california/statements/2018/mar/21/gavin-newsom/true-california-ranks-49th-capita-housing-supply/ …
