Governor Newsom signs landmark legislation to boost housing density near transit hubs
Governor Gavin Newsom signed Senate Bill 79 into law, aiming to increase housing density near transit hubs across California by allowing taller, denser residential buildings, with the goal of addressing the state's housing crisis and promoting public transportation. The bill faces some opposition from cities like Los Angeles and includes various exemptions and carve-outs, making its implementation complex and subject to future mapping and clarification.
