Gavin Newsom’s housing lawsuit put 47 California cities on notice. Is yours on the list?

Encinitas is just the kind of place Gavin Newsom might want to sue.

A local voter-approved initiative from 2013 makes planning for affordable homes nearly impossible, preventing the wealthy city of 60,000 from complying with a state law that requires local governments to build more housing.

The city has already spent $3.5 million in the last few years fighting a pair of housing-related lawsuits. The bill could climb if Newsom follows through on a threat to hold local governments accountable to the state housing law.

Marin County, for example, has an exemption in affordable housing law that gives it extra time to plan for dense development. There are no cities from Marin County on the list of communities that are out of compliance with the planning law.


Go figure that ultra liberal Caucasian Acres Marin County is exempt from the high density housing demands.

Oh wait doens't Gavin Newsom have a house for sale in Marin County?

For $5.9 million, I would want a house that looked good. That place, architecturally speaking, the place is pretty boring.

Gavin the Fake Environmentalist wants your town to mow down more habitat so the population of Mexico can be housed at your expense.

Why does the idiot Republican party let these guys get away with saying one thing and doing another? I guess the question answers itself: they’re idiots.

...

My guess is that in California, the GOP is just as corrupt as the Dems. They are willing to let the Dems run the crime family as long as they get their share.

This will be like the Soviet revolution. The constitution will be ignored and those with large homes, except the politically connected, will be forced to border the homeless and illegals.

Get ready to meet your district housing comisar.

The 2010 United States Census reported that Kentfield had a population of 6,485. The population density was 2,132.6 people per square mile (823.4/km²). The racial makeup of Kentfield was 5,908 (91.1%) White, 35 (0.5%) African American, 10 (0.2%) Native American, 224 (3.5%) Asian, 7 (0.1%) Pacific Islander, 95 (1.5%) from other races, and 206 (3.2%) from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 299 persons (4.6%).

Damn a whole 35 black folk living in Kentfield. Not too diverse.

Nice house:

I don’t know why he’d sell it unless he can afford an even better one after his lucrative reign as crime boss.

There WAS more “affordable housing in California, when there were vastly fewer housing regulations, no state housing planning authority, fewer state imposed local restrictions and regulations on housing - all of which has collectively made the cost of compliance become a huge chunk of the cost of ANY new house.

Friends of mine about to build a new home in one southern California community back in 2014 were told by their builder - at the very start - that no matter what was his materials and labor costs there would be at least $30,000 in various government fees in the overall cost of the house.

Back in the early 90s, I was living in Morgan Hill, CA, and there was a notice that they wanted to built “affordable living” housing in an area about 200 yards from my back fence. Looking at the design, it was a “barrio”.

When my neighbors and I went to the public meeting, the proponent, a black woman from San Jose or Oakland was offering to all a certain percentage of the families to be elderly. Also, they would build a high wall around it.

When it came to my turn, I told everyone that this scheme had been tried before, in the early forties in the city of Warsaw, Poland. There was strong applause and the glare from the woman was entertaining.

The project was not approved.

This state will devour itself eventually, a gubamint more dedicated to caring for illegals than it is its own citizens and legal residents will always implode.

We may not be around to see it but eventually, the mirage that is California will dissipate.. its jobs gone, its highest taxpayers gone, its future, gone..

Yeah, a real thing of beauty to anarchists and the unwitting programmed masses of leftists who fail to see what lies ahead.

Gubinor Gastric Nuisance will make Gray Davis look like a ‘conservative’ by the time he is done playing his game of charades.
