YIMBY Action

There's a reason they partner up for bids & don't bid every project. We can talk silly reqs from MOHCD but a minimum is arbitrary.

If there was a ballot prop to reduce those silly regs, we'd also be for that.

Okay but that doesn't mean supporting a minimum makes sense. Won't this delay already slow housing construction?

Don't think it will. Currently we only give a briefing on the pipeline to the small group of local affordable devs.

So why not change just that? Open it up more.

If someone wants to submit a bs proposal that is clearly gonna lose, there's nothing to prevent that.

But this was a way to force the bidding process to open up. Is it necessary the best way? Probably not. But all ballot props suck.

But why support it then? Lawmaking by ballot is so hard to reverse, why risk something like affordable housing policy on this?
