OKAY WE'RE GONNA GET STARTED
HERE WITH AB TWENTY ELEVEN. THIS
WEEK'S WHENEVER YOU'RE READY YOU
MAY PROCEED. THANK YOU A MEMBERS
OF THE COMMITTEE AND MR VICE
CHAIR FOR PRESIDING WHILE I
PRESENT THIS BILL. I'M HERE TO
TALK ABOUT AB TWENTY ELEVEN THE
AFFORDABLE HOUSING IN HIGH ROAD
JOBS ACT THE BILL SPONSORED BY
LABOR ORGANIZATIONS AND
AFFORDABLE HOUSING DEVELOPERS
AND SUPPORTED BY A WIDE ARRAY OF
SOCIAL JUSTICE ORGANIZATION
BUSINESS GROUPS UNION
CONTRACTORS ENVIRONMENTALISTS
HOUSING DEVELOPERS CIVIC GROUPS
AND FAITH BASED ORGANIZATIONS.
BEFORE I TELL YOU ABOUT THE
DETAILS OF THE BILL I WANT TO
TELL YOU WHY I THINK IT'S SO
IMPORTANT. WE HAVE A HOUSING
CRISIS THAT IS OUT OF CONTROL.
HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE
ARE SLEEPING ON THE STREET. 80%
OF LOW INCOME TENANTS CAN ONLY
PAY THE RENT IF THEY SACRIFICE
OTHER BASIC BASIC NECESSITIES
LIKE FOOD. EDUCATION HEALTH
CARE. THE MEDIAN PRICE OF BUYING
A HOME IN CALIFORNIA IS NOW OVER
EIGHT HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS.
MEETING THE AMERICAN DREAM OF
HOME OWNERSHIP IS ONLY AVAILABLE
TO THE RICHEST CALIFORNIANS.
POLLING CONTINUOUSLY SHOWS THAT
HOUSING AND HOMELESSNESS ARE
CALIFORNIA'S TOP TWO CONCERNS.
AT THE SAME TIME WE NEED TO
BUILD OUR CONSTRUCTION WORK
FORCE BACK IN THE NINETEEN
SEVENTIES EIGHTIES AND NINETIES
WE REGULARLY BUILT MORE THAN TWO
THOUSAND UNITS PER YEAR. BACK
THEN THOSE WERE HIGH WAGE JOBS
THAT WERE INCREDIBLE PATHWAY TO
A MIDDLE CLASS LIFE. NOW WE
REGULARLY BUILD FEWER THAN ONE
HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITS YEAR
UNLESS YOU WERE FORTUNATE ENOUGH
TO BE WORKING ON A PUBLIC WORK
OR UNIONIZED CONSTRUCTION JOB
IT'S LIKELY OR WORKING IN LOW
WAGES AND POTENTIALLY
EXPLOITATIVE CONDITIONS. FINALLY
WE HAVE TO TALK ABOUT HOW THIS
RELATES TO CLIMATE CHANGE AS THE
MOTHER OF TWO YOUNG DAUGHTERS
I'M TERRIFIED OF WHAT THE FUTURE
HOLDS FOR THEM. I NEED TO BE
ABLE TO LOOK THEM IN THE EYE AND
TELL THEM AS SOMEONE WHO IS IN A
POSITION OF LEADERSHIP THAT IS
ABLE TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE THAT I
DID EVERYTHING WITHIN MY POWER
WHEN THEY WERE STILL TIME TO DO
SO. AND AS THE CHAIR OF THE
COMMITTEE WHAT I CAN PRODUCE
BOLD LETTERS BLOOD RELATION
SAYING NECESSARY BUT
UNCOMFORTABLE UNCOMFORTABLE
CONVERSATIONS TO PROMOTE THE
HOUSING OF THE FUTURE HOW HOUSES
NEAR JOB IN TRANSPORTATION THAT
ALLOW US TO SLASH OUR CARBON
EMISSIONS. I WANT TO TALK ABOUT
WHAT THIS BILL DOES. THIS BILL
AIMS TO ADDRESS ALL OF THESE
PROBLEMS FOR MAKING IT MUCH
EASIER TO BUILD HOUSING AT SCALE
AND CLIMATE FRIENDLY FRIENDLY
LOCATIONS. USING HIGHER LABOR
STANDARDS THAT PROTECT AND
UPLIFT OUR EXISTING WORKERS
WHILE SIMULTANEOUSLY. GROWING A
WHOLE NEW GENERATION OF HIGHLY
TRAINED WOMEN AND MEN. HOW WILL
WE DO THAT. BY MAKING AFFORDABLE
AND MIXED INCOME MULTI FAMILY
HOUSING. A USE BY RIGHT IN AREAS
THAT ARE APPROPRIATE FOR. THING
BUT WHERE IT IS. DIFFICULT OR
IMPOSSIBLE TO BUILD. BY BEING BY
RIGHT DEVELOPERS CAN MOVE
FORWARD WITHOUT THIS IS.
SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF RED TAPE
THAT INCREASES COSTS AND KILLS
MANY VIABLE PROJECTS. WERE
TAKING THE COST SAVINGS. OF
ALLOWING HOUSING BY RIGHT AND
GIVING IT BACK IN THE FORM OF
MORE AFFORDABLE HOUSING. AND
BETTER PAY FOR CONSTRUCTION
WORKERS. 5100% AFFORDABLE
PROJECTS BRINGING DOWN THE COST
MEAN. MAKE OUR PUBLIC MONEY GO
FAR. FOR ALL OF THE PROJECTS
THAT WE'RE REQUIRING THAT 15% OF
THE UNITS WOULD NEED TO BE
AFFORDABLE. TO LOWER INCOME
HOUSEHOLDS OR 30% MODERATE
INCOME FOR HOMEOWNERSHIP. THIS
REQUIREMENT COULD RESULT IN AN
EXTRAORDINARY AMOUNT OF NEW
AFFORDABLE UNITS WITHOUT
REQUIRING PUBLIC SUBS. AS FOR
WHERE THE HOUSING CAN GO IT
WOULD NEED TO BE LOCATED IN
AREAS THAT CURRENTLY ALLOW FOR
RETAIL OFFICE BUILDING AND
PARKING LOTS. FURTHER MORE MIXED
INCOME HOUSING WOULD BE LIMITED
TO COMMERCIAL CORRIDORS
BASICALLY THOSE STREETS THAT IN
THE MOST CITIES ARE LINED WITH
STRIP RETAIL LOTS OF PARKING.
THE PERFECT PLACE TO ALLOW A LOT
MORE TO ALLOW A LOT MORE HOUSING
. BECAUSE THE SITES NEED TO
ALLOW FOR COMMERCIAL USE WE ARE
DIRECTING NEW HOUSING AWAY FROM
SINGLE FAMILY NEIGHBORHOODS. AND
THIS BILL ALLOWS FOR MIXED USE
PROVIDING OPTIONS FOR RETAIL ON
THE GROUND GROUND FLOOR FOR MORE
VIBRANT WALKABLE NEIGHBORHOODS.
PROJECTS WOULD NEED TO MEET
OBJECTIVE DESIGN STANDARDS TO
EITHER ESTABLISHED BY THE BILL
OR BY THE LOCAL CITY OR COUNTY.
FINALLY I WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE
LABOR STANDARDS IN THIS BILL
THAT ARE DESIGNED TO CREATE TENS
OF THOUSANDS OF HIGHROAD HIGHLY
PAID. CONSTRUCTION JOBS. ALL
WORKERS WOULD BE PAID THE
PREVAILING WAGE ENABLING ARE
HARD WORKING MEN AND WOMEN TO
LEAVE MIDDLE CLASS LIFE. ALL
WORKERS WILL BE PROTECTED FROM
WAGE THEFT BY THE STRONGEST
ENFORCEMENT STANDARD. ON RECORD.
ONLY IF THE PROJECT IS FIFTY OR
MORE UNITS THEY WERE. BRING A
PER. THE I GREW UP IN A RACE TO
LOOK PEOPLE. WE PUT ASIDE LISTS
ALTHOUGH. TWENTY ELEVEN IS A
BILL BUT OUR HOUSING CRISIS BOLD
ACTION WE NEED TO DO EVERYTHING
POSSIBLE TO KEEP HOUSING OUR
HOMELESS KEEP TENANTS IN PLACE
TO KEEP PROPERTY OWNERS FROM FOR
CLOSING BUT THE ONLY WAY OUT OF
THIS CRISIS IS TO ENSURE THAT
THERE IS A FUNCTIONING MARKET
PLACE WHERE HOUSING IS A BUNCH
AFFORDABLE PEOPLE K. OPTION
ABOUT TO HAVE WORK WITH A RANGE
OF ALL. BACKGROUNDS THERE WILL
PRO. THIS UP UPPING IT CLIMATE
CHANGE AND UPLIFTING WORKERS WHO
BUILD THESE UNITS. WITH ME HERE
TO TESTIFY AS RAY PEARL
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE
CALIFORNIA HOUSING CONSORTIUM
AND J. BRADSHAW EXECUTIVE
DIRECTOR OF THE NORTHERN
CALIFORNIA CARPENTERS AND I
WOULD LIKE TO ALSO ALLOW MY JOIN
AUTHOR MISTER GRAYSON TO. MARCH
AS WELL. MISTER RAISING GOOD
THANK YOU VICE CHAIR. THERE WAS
A AT THE END OF SESSION LAST
YEAR THAT A AND ASSEMBLY HOUSING
WORKING GROUP WAS PUT TOGETHER
ASSEMBLED IN THE FALL OF LAST
YEAR THAT HOUSING WORKING GROUP
MYSELF ALONG WITH TWENTY SEVEN
OF MY COLLEAGUES- THROUGHOUT
THAT TOUR- WOULD IT RANGE FROM
CHEAP GO ALL THE WAY TO SAN
DIEGO OVER TWENTY TWO NIGHTS ON
THE ROAD. WE FOURNETTE THE LIST.
AND WE DID AND- YEAH HERE WE DID
AND THERE WERE A LOT A LOT OF-
MEETINGS WHERE HOUSING OBVIOUSLY
IT WAS THE CENTER AND CORPS OF
DISCUSSION BUT A LOT OF EVIDENCE
ALSO THROUGH SIGHT SEEING WAS
WITNESSED AND THERE WAS A VERY
CLEAR MESSAGE THAT RESONATED
FROM THAT HOUSING WORKING GROUP
TOUR AND IT IS THIS THAT OUR
HOUSING AND AFFORDABILITY CRISIS
IS UNDENIABLY DIRE. AND THE
CALIFORNIA AVERAGES FEWER THAN A
HUNDRED THOUSAND NEW UNITS PER
YEAR AND OUR STATE HAS NEVER IN
ANY YEAR PRODUCED MORE THAN
TWENTY THOUSAND NEW AFFORDABLE
HOMES THE LACK OF SUPPLY IN NEW
DEVELOPMENT HAS PUSHED HOME
OWNERSHIP FURTHER OUT OF REACH
WORKING FAMILIES AND BECAUSE THE
MEDIAN PRICE OF SINGLE FAMILY
HOMES TO SOAR B. EIGHT HUNDRED
AND TWENTY SEVEN THOUSAND
DOLLARS. IS AN EX MORE IN ORDER
TO SOME KEEP WITH THE DEMAND
WHICH IS NOT REALLY ENOUGH TO
ADDRESS TE CRISIS WE NEED TO
BUILD ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY
THOUSAND NEW HOUSING UNITS A
YEAR INCLUDING EIGHTY THOUSAND
UNITS. AFFORDABLE TO LOWER
INCOME HOUSEHOLDS WE ARE FAR
PASSED THE TIME APPROPRIATE TO
TAKE ACTION ON THIS CRISIS BUT
THE NEXT BEST TIME IS RIGHT NOW.
BY JOINING AB TWENTY ELEVEN AS A
JOINT AUTHORS THANK YOU TO- THE
AUTHOR ASSEMBLY MEMBER WICKS I
HOPE TO BE A PART OF THE
SOLUTION TO GET. MORE OF THE
HOUSES OR HOMES OUR COMMUNITIES
NEED BUILT ESPECIALLY ON
UNDERLIES CURRENT COMMERCIALLY
ZONED LANDS AND ALONG TRANSIT
CORRIDORS AND AT THE SAME TIME.
I AM COMMITTED TO HAVING THE
NEEDS OF CONSTRUCTION WORKERS
VALUED AND HEARD BECAUSE OUR
HOUSING SHOULD OUR HOUSING GOALS
SHOULD. BE A- AFTER. OF OUR
HARDWORKING UNION WORKERS AND MY
INVOLVEMENT AS A JOINT AUTHORS
IT DOES ALLOW ME THAT
OPPORTUNITY TO BE INVOLVED IN
THE SOLUTION THAT CEATES NEW
HOUSING OPPORTUNITIES WHILE
PROTECTING WORKER OPPORTUNITIES.
BOTH OF WHICH ARE ABSOLUTELY
EAST CENTRAL TO THE WELL BEING
OF CALIFORNIA'S ECONOMY AND
FUTURE THANK YOU. YOU MISTER
GRAYSON WE HAVE TWO PRIMARY
WITNESSES IN SUPPORT. OF AB
TWENTY ELEVEN WHICH MANY WOULD
LIKE TO GO FIRST YOU HAVE TWO
MINUTES THANK YOU. THANK YOU
VERY MUCH MISS RUSHER GOOD
MORNING MY NAME IS RAY PEARL
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE
CALIFORNIA HOUSING CONSORTIUM.
CHC IS A NONPARTISAN ADVOCATE
FOR THE PRODUCTION AND
PRESERVATION OF HOUSING
AFFORDABLE TO LOW AND MODERATE
INCOME CALIFORNIANS AND
COMMITTED TO THE GOAL THAT EVERY
CALIFORNIA HAVE A SAFE PLACE TO
CALL HOME. DESPITE THE
LEGISLATURE'S DEMONSTRATED
COMMITMENT TO AFFORDABLE
HOUSING. CALIFORNIA CONTINUES TO
FACE A SHORTFALL OVER ONE
MILLION HOMES AFFORDABLE TO THE
STATE'S LOWEST INCOME
HOUSEHOLDS. OVER THE PAST TWO
YEARS CHC HAS WORKED CLOSELY
WITH MEMBERS AND OTHER
STAKEHOLDERS TO TRY TO DEVELOP
SOLUTIONS THAT MATCH THE SCALE
OF OUR STATE'S HOUSING
CHALLENGES. WE HAVE REPEATEDLY
COMMITTED TO FINDING.
COLLABORATIVE SOLUTIONS THAT
SIGNIFICANTLY EXPAND ACCESS TO
WELL PAYING JOBS FOR WORKERS ALL
OVER THE STATE WHILE AT THE SAME
TIME INCREASING HOUSING
PRODUCTION FOR CALIFORNIANS MOST
VULNERABLE. IN THESE
CONVERSATIONS WE HAVE NOTED TO
CRITICAL ISSUES FOR AFFORDABLE
HOUSING PROVIDERS. ONE WE
BELIEVE THAT DEVELOPMENTS
RECEIVING NEW LAND USE BENEFITS
SHOULD CREATE STEADY WELL PAYING
JOBS AND HELP BUILD THE MIDDLE
CLASS CONSTRUCTION WORK FORCE
THAT EVERY COMMUNITY NEEDS. WE
ALSO RECOGNIZE THAT PROJECTS
CANNOT MOVE FORWARD IF
CONSTRUCTION WORKERS ARE NOT
AVAILABLE A REAL AND GROWING
CHALLENGE IN MANY PARTS OF THE
STATE. IN OUR VIEW AB TWENTY
ELEVEN FINALLY STRIKES THE RIGHT
BALANCE AND FOR THAT REASON I AM
HONORED TO BE HERE TODAY AS A CO
SPONSOR OF THIS IMPORTANT
LEGISLATION. AB TWENTY ELEVEN
PAIRS THE ABILITY TO BUILD
HOUSING ON UNDER UTILIZED
COMMERCIAL SITES WITH STRONG
LABOR STANDARDS THAT ENSURE ALL
CONSTRUCTION WORKERS EARN
PREVAILING WAGES. AND EARNED
HEALTH BENEFITS. THE BILL ALSO
INCLUDES DOUBLE OFF RAMPS THEY
GIVES WORKERS IN STATE APPROVED
APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAMS THE
FIRST SHOT AT THESE JOBS. THIS
BILL ALSO HAS THE POTENTIAL TO
OPEN THOUSANDS OF NEW SITES TO
AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND TO
RAPIDLY ACCELERATE HOUSING
PRODUCTIONS. AT ALL INCOME
LEVELS. FOR THESE REASONS I URGE
YOUR SUPPORT TODAY AND WE ARE
PROUD TO STAND. WITH ALL OF YOU

NEARLY HALF A MILLION SKILLED IN
IN CALIFORNIA CONSTRUCTION
WORKERS INCLUDING SEVENTY THREE
THOUSAND BUILDING TRADES
APPRENTICES. IN STRONG
OPPOSITION. TO AB TWENTY ELEVEN
AS MOST OF YOU KNOW THESTATE
BUILDING TRADES HAVE BEEN
CLOSELY INVOLVED IN HOUSING
LEGISLATION FOR YEARS. IT
IMPACTS OUR MEMBERS AS WORKERS
ARE MEMBERS WHO NEED HOUSING AND
OUR MEMBERS WHO LIVE IN
VIRTUALLY EVERY COMMUNITY IN
CALIFORNIA. THIS LEGISLATION IN
THIS BILL ALSO IMPACTS THAT
THOUSANDS OF CONSTRUCTION
WORKERS WE DO NOT FORMALLY
REPRESENT. BUT THE WE HAVE A
MORAL OBLIGATION TO PROTECT.
LAST JUNE THE BERKELEY LABOR
CENTER PUT OUT A STUDY THAT
DOCUMENTED THE RAMPANT
MISTREATMENT OF CONSTRUCTION
WORKERS IN RESIDENTIAL
CONSTRUCTION. INCLUDING THE
PRACTICE OF UNDER THE TABLE PAY
LACK OF WORKERS COMP AND THE
NEARLY MAJORITY OF WHOM REQUIRE
STATE FAMILY ASSISTANCE IN ORDER
TO SURVIVE. INCLUDING AFFORDABLE
HOUSING. MEANWHILE PROFITEERING
DEVELOPERS ARE MAKING BILLIONS
OFF OF EXPLOITING A VERY REAL
HOUSING CRISIS PROFITS THAT THIS
BILL MAKES NO ATTEMPT TO LIMIT.
AB TWENTY ELEVEN IS NOT GOING TO
MATERIALLY ADDRESS THE HOMELESS
AND AFFORDABLE HOUSING CRISIS
THIS BILL RESULT IN A FURTHER
GENTRIFICATION OF WORKING CLASS
COMMUNITIES FOR PROFIT FOR
MOSTLY MARKET RATE DEVELOPMENT
AND WILL EMBOLDEN THE
UNDERGROUND ECONOMY THE PAYS
WORKERS LESSEN LEGAL WAGES AND
PROFITS ON A BUSINESS MODEL THAT
DOES NOT WANT WORKERS WHO ARE
AWARE. OF THEIR LEGAL RIGHTS ON
JOB SITES WERE TRAINED IN THE
ACTUAL TRADE THEY ARE EXPECTED
TO EXECUTE. THERE'S A LOT WRONG
WITH THIS BILL THAT WE HAVE SET
FORTH IN OUR LETTER. BEYOND THE
GENTRIFICATION FOR PROFIT
BUSINESS MODEL THIS BILL IS
PROMOTING THIS BILL CLAIMS TO
HAVE LABOR STANDARDS IT MIGHT AS
WELL BE WRITTEN IN INVISIBLE INK
IS ABLE DISAPPEAR BEFORE THE
FIRST WORKER LACE UP THEIR
BOOTS. WHETHER THIS IS
INTENTIONAL OR NOT IT'S AN
INTERESTING QUESTION AND DEPENDS
ON WHO IS ACTUALLY. IN THE
CURTAIN OF THIS BILL. THE BY THE
WAY WAS PITCHED YEARS AGO TO US.
BY THE FOR PROFIT DEVELOPERS WHO
HAVE BEEN CIRCLING SHARKS FOR
HEY. AND THERE'S CHUM IN THE
WATER. THIS BILL IS AN AFFRONT
TO OUR MEMBERSHIP IN THE LOCAL
BUILDING TRADES THAT HAVE BEEN
WORKING TO ENCOURAGE REAL
SOLUTIONS TO THE HOUSING CRISIS.
SOLUTIONS GEARED TO BUILDING
ACTUAL AFFORDABLE HOUSING. AND
NOT PUT THE CONSTRUCTION WORKERS
BUILDING IT INTO THE QUEUE FOR
THE VERY HOUSING THEY'RE
BUILDING. SEVERAL OF THOSE
CONVERSATIONS RESULTED IN BILLS
THAT THIS EXAMPLE EIGHT
INEXPLICABLY REFUSED TO BRING TO
A FLOOR VOTE. LAST SESSION EVEN
THOUGH IF IT HAD THIS HOUSING
WOULD LIKELY BE UNDERWAY. BUT
AGAIN THE SHARKS ARE CIRCLING
AND THE HOLD UP IN THE ASSEMBY
HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH HOUSING
THE VULNERABLE IT HAS TO DO WITH
A BUSINESS MODEL THAT DOESN'T
QUESTION MILLIONS IN DEPTH
DEVELOPER PROFITS AND IS
THREATENED BY A WORK FORCE THAT
KNOWS ITS TRADE. ITS RIGHTS AND
IT'S WORTH. YESTERDAY AT THE
RALLY IN SUPPORT OF THE BILL ONE
OF THE PROPONENTS SAID THAT THIS
BILL IS ABOUT CONSTRUCTION
WORKERS BUILDING AFFORDABLE
HOUSING. THAT THEY CAN THEN LIVE
IN. AND THAT'S EXACTLY THE
PROBLEM. TRICKS PEOPLE SHOULD
NOT NEED AFFORDABLE HOUSING.
THEY SHOULD BE PAID AND TREATED
COMMENSURATE WITH THEIR TRADE
AND THEIR TRAINING. AND EARNED A
PATH INTO THE MIDDLE CLASS NOT
EXACTLY WHY ON BEHALF OF OUR
NEARLY HALF A MILLION MEMBERS WE
URGE YOU TO VOTE NO. ON AB
TWENTY ELEVEN. YOU THE THIRD
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR- EDUARDO
MARTINEZ ON BEHALF OF THE ONE
POINT TWO MILLION MEMBERS OF THE
CALIFORNIA LABOR FEDERATION IN
STRONG OPPOSITION TO AB TWENTY
ELEVEN- AS MY SISTER FROM THE
BUILDING TRADES JUST MENTIONED
WE BELIEVE THE LABOR PROTECTIONS
IN THIS BILL ARE ILLUSORY THE
LACK OF A REQUIREMENT FOR
CONTRACTOR TO SUPPORT
APPRENTICESHIP BY UTILIZING A
SKILLED AND TRAINED WORKFORCE
MEANS CONSTRUCTION WORKERS
WORKERS WHO WERE DEEMED
ESSENTIAL THROUGHOUT THE COPA
NINETEEN PANDEMIC ARE ONCE AGAIN
LEFT OUT OF THE EQUATION. WE
ACKNOWLEDGE THE NEED TO BUILD
MORE HOUSING NO ONE IN THIS ROOM
DISPUTES THE NATURE OF THE
CRISIS WE FIND OURSELVES IN YOU
WILL DISPUTE THE NEED TO BUILD
MORE HOUSING FOR ALL INCOME
LEVELS HOWEVER WE MUST REJECT
THE FALSE CHOICE THAT AB TWENTY
ELEVEN PRESENTS TO YOU TODAY
THAT THE ONLY WAY TO SOLVE THE
THIS CRISIS IS ON THE BACKS OF
BLUE COLLAR CONSTRUCTION WORKERS
TO THE BENEFIT OF BILLIONAIRE
CORPORATE HOUSING DEVELOPERS WHO
STAND TO BENEFIT FROM THIS
GENEROUS BY RIGHT APPROVAL
PROCESS A FORBIDDEN THIS BILL.
WE ADDRESS STRONGLY TO THE
PROVISIONS CONTAINED IN AB
TWENTY ELEVEN WE MUST ALSO
OBJECT TO THE PROCESS. WE BECAME
AWARE OF THIS BILL A FEW DAYS
BEFORE ITS INTRODUCTION AND WERE
PROVIDED LANGUAGE FROM A SOURCE
OTHER THAN THE AUTHOR OR HEARST.
WE KNOW WE ALL KNOW WE ALL KNOW
WHEN MEMBERS OF THIS COMMITTEE
INCLUDING THE AUTHOR ARE WELL
AWARE OF OUR INSISTENCE OF A
REQUIREMENT. THAT THE WORK FORCE
BE SKILLED AND TRAINED AND YET
WE'VE HAD REALLY VERY LITTLE-
DIALOGUE WITH THE AUTHOR ON THIS
CRITICAL ISSUE. AS I MENTIONED
EARLIER WE DON'T DENY THE
EXISTENCE OF A HOUSING CRISIS
AND WE WANT TO BE PART OF THE
SOLUTION. BUT AS WE'VE DONE IN
THE PAST WE WILL SPEAK OUT
AGAINST PROPOSALS DEVELOPED ON
THE BACKS OF WORKING PEOPLE. THE
TWELVE HUNDRED AFFILIATES OF THE
CALIFORNIA LABOR FEDERATION
STAND IN STRONG SOLIDARITY WITH
THE STATE BUILDING CONSTRUCTIONS

SECOND AGO PRESENT
APPROPRIATIONS BUT I AM. GOING
TO BE ENTHUSIASTICALLY
SUPPORTING THIS BILL TODAY I
WANT TO THANK THE AUTHOR AND THE
JOINT AUTHORS FOR BRING IT
FORWARD- IT JUST ACKNOWLEDGE
THAT CAN OFTEN TIMES BE
DIFFICULT TO WADE INTO
COMPLICATED SUBJECTS AND THIS IS
CERTAINLY IS ONE BYTE- THIS IS
ALSO ONE OF THE MOST PERSISTENT
AND IMPORTANT PUBLIC POLICY
CHALLENGES FACING US HERE IN THE
STATE OF CALIFORNIA- IT IS AN
ISSUE THAT WE HAVE TO RESOLVE.
AN ISSUE THAT WE ARE ALL HEARING
ABOUT IN OUR DISTRICT IN EVERY
CORNER OF THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA. AND THANK- PRINTERS
AND THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING
DEVELOPERS FOR COMING TO THE
TABLE. I KNOW THE COMPROMISE IS
AN EASY. I KNOW THE
CONVERSATIONS AREN'T ALWAYS
EASY- BUT I WAS EXTREMELY MOVED
BY THE CONVERSATIONS THAT I HAD
WITH MY LOCAL CARPENTERS WHO
CAME TO MY OFFICE YESTERDAY.
BOTH ABOUT. HOW PASSIONATELY
THEY FEEL ABOUT LABOR STANDARDS
TO PROTECT WORKING PEOPLE. AND
SOME OF THEM SHAREDSTORIES
ABOUT FAMILY MEMBERS WHO ARE NON
UNION CARPENTERS WHO HAD BEEN.
INJURED AND THEN AND ABUSED AND
ABSOLUTELY- EXPLOITED. AND HOW
PASSIONATELY THEY FELT ABOUT THE
LABOR STANDARDS INCLUDED IN THIS
BILL- AND ALSO ABOUT THE HOUSING
CRISIS. I TALKED TO FOLKS WHO
GREW UP IN MY COMMUNITY. WHO CAN
NO LONGER AFFORD TO LIVE THERE.
BECAUSE WE HAVE AN OUT OF
CONTROL HOUSING CRISIS THESE ARE
PEOPLE WHO GREW UP IN MY
COMMUNITY. WHO WANT TO CONTINUE
TO LIVE IN MY COMMUNITY. AND YOU
CAN NO LONGER AFFORD TO DO SO.
AND I REALLY REALLY HOPE. THAT
CONVERSATIONS WILL CONTINUE-
FROM MY VANTAGE POINT A LITTLE
BIT BACK. I THINK IF WE ZOOM OUT
THERE IS A REAL OPPORTUNITY HERE
FOR A WIN WIN. RIGHT WE CAN
CREATE. GOOD PAYING UNION JOBS
WITH. LABOR PROTECTIONS. THAT
DESPERATELY NEED. AND WE CAN
ALSO MAKE REAL PROGRESS ON OUR
HOUSING CRISIS AND I. WAS
ENCOURAGED TO HEAR SOME OF THE
COMMENTS THAT THERE IS MORE
OPPORTUNITY MORE ROOM FOR
CONVERSATION I KNOW WE HAVE-
WONDERFUL PEOPLE AT ALL SIDES OF
THE TABLE- PEOPLE WHO CARE ABOUT
THESE ISSUES DEEPLY WHO CARE
DEEPLY ABOUT PROTECTING WORKERS
IN ALL TO CARE ABOUT
AFFORDABILITY. AND I'M REALLY
REALLY HOPEFUL THAT WITH YOU YOU
CONVERSATIONS. WE CAN GET TO THE
PLACE WE NEED TO BE BECAUSE- WE
HAVE TO WE HAVE TO ADDRESS THIS
ISSUE. IT THIS IS THIS IS THE
MOST PERSISTENT. THANK ALSO.
FACED IT'S NOT AN WE CAN WE
CANNOT AFFORD TO MAKE TO NOT
MAKE PROGRESS ON THIS ISSUE
TODAY IT IS TIME FOR EVERYBODY
TO FIND A WAY TO GET TO YES I
WANT TO AGAIN APPRECIATE THE
AUTHOR- AND THE STAKEHOLDERS FOR
STARTING THIS CONVERSATION I
KNOW THAT THERE'S GOING TO BE
MORE CONVERSATIONS- BUT I AM
VERY ENTHUSIASTICALLY GOING TO
SUPPORT THE BILL TODAY AND I'M
REALLY REALLY HOPEFUL THAT
EVERYBODY'S GONNA FIND WAY TO
GET TO YES BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT
THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA. OUR WORKERS ARE
RESIDENTS PEOPLE WHO ARE BEING
CRUSHED BY AFFORDABILITY CRISIS
THAT'S WHAT THEY DESERVE AND SO
WITH THAT I LOOK FOR TO VOTING
FOR THE BILL THANK YOU MISTER
YOU. THANK YOU. CHAIR AND I WANT
TO THANK THE AUTHOR AS WELL FOR
BRINGING THIS BILL FORWARD.
HOUSING HOMELESSNESS THE BIGGEST
ISSUE THAT WE FACE AND ALSO.
MISTER GRAYSON FOR BEING HERE AS
A AS A JOINT AUTHORS. AND REALLY
TO BOTH THE SUPPORT AND
OPPOSITION I THINK IT'S
IMPORTANT THAT EVERYONE IS AT
THE TABLE. I'M PART OF THE
HOUSING WORKING GROUP THAT TOOK
A TOUR ACROSS. THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA AND IT JUST.
CONTINUES TO BE THE- ISSUE. OF
THAT BASE AFFORDABILITY. EVEN
FOR WORKERS EVEN FOR THE FOLKS
ACTUALLY BUILDING THE HOMES
AFFORDABILITY IN AFFORDABLE
HOUSING. IS A PRIORITY IN A
SHOULD BE A PART OF THE
CONVERSATION ESPECIALLY. AS WE
MANAGED TO DEAL WITH ISSUES
RELATED TO CLIMATE CHANGE
CHANNEL SO MANY FOLKS. I LIVE IN
THE CITY OF LOS ANGELES I
REPRESENT THE CITY OF LOS
ANGELES. FOLKS ARE MOVING OUT
BECAUSE THEY CAN'T AFFORD IT BUT
YET AS LOS ANGELES CONTINUES TO
BUILD. FOLKS ARE MOVING OUT AND
THEN HAVING TO DRIVE IN TWO
HOURS TO BE ABLE TO DO THIS WORK
EVEN IF IT IS. LOCAL HIGHER. AND
SO IT'S ALL CONNECTED. BUT GEN.
THEY WOULD LIKE TO HEAR. MORE
ABOUT THE IMPACT TO MECHANICAL.
A CONSTRUCTION WORK FORCE AND IF
IT'S OKAY I'D LIKE TO MAYBE HEAR
FROM MR WATCH WHO I SEE IN THE
AUDIENCE. TO SHARE US
SPECIFICALLY. HOW THE MECHANICAL
TRADES ARE IMPACTED- AND HIS
POSITION ON THE BILL. OKAY SIR
CAN YOU. SUM IT UP IN. A
REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME. I'LL
DO MY BEST THANK YOU- SCOTT
WHAT'S YOUR BEHALF THE STATE
ASSOCIATION OF ELECTRICAL
WORKERS THE CALIFORNIA STATE
PATRIOTS COUNCIL THE WESTERN
STATES COUNCIL SHEET METAL
WORKERS COLLECTIVELY
REPRESENTING ABOUT A HUNDRED
FIFTY THOUSAND CONSTRUCTION
WORKERS IN CALIFORNIA. PRISON
THEM FOR TWENTY FIVE YEARS PRIOR
TO THAT I SERVED AS A PRINCIPAL
CONSULTANT TO THE SENATE HOUSING
COMMITTEE SO I'VE BEEN INVOLVED
IN HOUSING IN THIS BUILDING FOR
QUITE SOME TIME- OUR UNIONS
ABSOLUTELY RESPECT. THE PASSION
THAT THE TWO AUTHORS HAVE
BROUGHT TO THIS ISSUE. WE DON'T
DOUBT. I DON'T DOUBT IN MY
CLAYSTONE QUESTION THEIR
SINCERITY. IN WANTING TO ADDRESS
THE WORKFORCE ISSUES. BUT I
THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO SAME
TIME FOR THE COMMITTEE TO
UNDERSTAND WHY ALL THOSE WORKERS
MANY OF WHICH ARE MY MEMBERS WHO
CALLED IN OR APPEARED TODAY FELT
SO PASSIONATE ABOUT THIS ISSUE.
THE PROBLEM WITH BY RIGHT. IS
THAT IT TAKES AWAY THE MOST
FUNDAMENTAL DEMOCRATIC PRINCIPLE
FOR WHICH THIS COUNTRY IN THIS
LEGISLATURE WERE FOUNDED WHICH
IS THE RIGHT FOR EVERY CITIZEN
UNION COMMUNITY GROUP
ENVIRONMENTAL ORGANIZATIONS TO
SEEK INPUT TO PETITION THEIR
GOVERNMENT AND TO SEEK REDRESS
ON THEIR ISSUES B. THEM SMALLER
BE THEY LARGE AND BY RIGHT
COMPLETELY SILENCES THAT VOICE.
IMAGINE IF WE HAD A PROCESS
WHEREBY. WE DEEM SOME ISSUE SO
SIGNIFICANT. THE WE DECIDED TO
BY PASS LEGISLATURE. AND WE JUST
SAID NO THE LEGISLATURE DOESN'T
GET A VOTE ON THIS IT'S TOO
IMPORTANT WE'LL JUST LET THE
GOVERNOR DECIDE. I THINK. THIS
INSTITUTION WOULD STAND UP AND
SCREAM. HAVING SAID THAT. WE
THINK THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE
WHERE. THERE CAN BE A MEETING OF
THE MINDS. THERE WE GET THE
RIGHT PEOPLE TO THE ROOM AND
HAVE- A MORE ROBUST DISCUSSION
AND PERHAPS. WAS ALLOWED WITH
THE INTRODUCTION OF THIS
PARTICULAR MEASURE. AND I THINK
THAT WE CAN GET TO A PLACE I'M
HOPEFUL THAT WE CAN GET TO A
PLACE. SO MY HOPE ON BEHALF OF
MY CLIENTS WOULD BE THAT. IF
THIS BILL WERE TO MOVE OUT OF
THIS COMMITTEE TODAY THAT IT
WERE TO GO TO- A PLACE WHERE WE
COULD HAVE THAT DISCUSSION
RATHER THAN YOU KNOW HAVING A
BACK UP AGAINST A WALL WITH
HAVING A BABY SCHEDULED IT
APPROPRIATIONS IN A WEEK AND
THEN ON TO THE FLOOR WORD THOSE
TYPES OF DISCUSSIONS BECOME MORE
TO- AND- YOU KNOW WE'VE WORKED
ON LOT OF TOUGH. WITH THE
SPONSORS OF THIS BILL IN THE
PAST AND WE'VE YOU KNOW WE'VE
GOTTEN TOO GOOD PLACE. A AND- IT
SO THAT'S WHAT THAT MY CLIENTS
WOULD HOPE WOULD HAPPEN TODAY-
BECAUSE THIS IS AN IMPORTANT
ISSUE. BUT YOU CAN'T
UNDERESTIMATE. WHAT YOU'E DOING
WHEN YOU TAKE AWAY THE RIGHT.
FOR ALL THESE FOLKS TO BE ABLE
TO GO BEFORE THERE'S LOCAL CITY
COUNCIL. IT RAISES ISSUES AND-
HAVE THEIR VOICES HEARD. IN
WAGES IN OUR WAY WE IN WAGES AND
WAGE PACKAGES ARE NOT THE ONLY
ISSUE. THAT- WORKING MEN AND
WOMEN HAVE SO. I HOPE THAT YOU
QUESTINS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR
COOPER SIR. THANK YOU MISTER
WATSON THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR OR
FOR THE INDULGENCE- BUT CHAIR
WORKS BASED ON. THE COMMENTS
MADE- AND IN PARTICULAR COMMENTS
MADE BY THE OPPOSITION AND IN
PARTICULAR- MISTER WHICH IT IS
IT DOES APPEAR THERE ARE. SOME
WILLINGNESS TO BE ABLE TO COME
TO THE TABLE FOR SOME SOLUTIONS-
CURIOUS IF WITH THAT YOU WOULD
ENTERTAIN A MOTION ON THE BILL
TO MOVE THE BILL TO ROUTE TO
RULES COMMITTEE FOR ADDITIONAL
CONVERSATIONS- I APPRECIATE THE
CREATIVE SOLUTIONS HERE MISS
CARILLO AND ALSO APPRECIATE THE
COMMENTS BY MR WATCH IN TERMS OF
WHERE HIS. HIS UNION I AM-
WILLING TO MOVE THE BILL TO
RULES- TEMPORARILY THOUGH AND TO
ALLOW FOR MORE CONVERSATIONS
WITH OUR LABOR PARTNERS- WITH
MISTER WELCH WITH THE TRADES AND
OTHERS- ALONG WITH MY SPONSORS
OF COURSE- C. H. C. AND THE
CARPENTERS. IF WE CAN REACH A
COMPROMISE ON ON LABOR STANDARDS
I'M ALL ABOUT IT I WANT TO HAVE
MORE ENGAGE CONVERSATIONS BUT
I'LL SAY I'M ONLY GOING TO AGREE
TO THIS- IF MY BILL IS ABLE TO
MOVE FORWARD IN THE TIME. IN THE
TIME LINE ALLOWED TO BE HEARD IN
APPROPRIATIONS COMMITTEE PRIOR
TO FISCAL COMMITTEE DEADLINE IN
THE BILL KEEPS MOVING FORWARD.
ON THE REGULAR CALENDAR AND GETS
OUT OF PRISON TIME TO GO OVER
THE SENATE. WITH THOSE
STIPULATIONS- I'M COMFORTABLE
WITH THE MOTION THAT YOU
SUGGESTED I WELCOME I'M
OPPOSITION INTO THE
CONVERSATION- IF WE MOVE THE
BILL IF IT PASSES OUT OF
COMMITTEE INTO ROLES- IN AN ACT
OF GOOD FAITH TO REALLY TRY TO
SEE IF WE CAN REACH SOME OTHER
COMPROMISE LANGUAGE HERE. THANK
YOU FOR THAT. THERE'S A LOT
WILLINGNESS TO COME TO THETABLE
COLLAB AND IMPORTANTLY TO SEEK
SOLUTIONS AND NOT JUST SAY NO NO
NO BUT ACTUALLY FIND A
RESOLUTION FOR THE PEOPLE OF THE
STATE OF CALIFORNIA WITH THAT
MISTER CHAIR I'D LIKE TO MAKE
THE MOTION TO MOVE THE BILL INTO
THE COMMITTEE OF RULES. OKAY SO
WHERE A MOTION TO MOVE THE BILL
INTO THE COMMITTEE RULES. SO
IT'S DO PASSED TO THE COMMITTEE
RULES. OKAY TO HAVE A SECOND. WE
HAVE A SECOND BY WARD RIGHT THIS
QUIRK-SILVA HE WONDERED COMMENT. THERE'S A LOT TO SAY AND WE'VE
HEARD A LOT AND- AS SO MANY OF
YOU KNOW THAT. ALL OF US WHO SIT
HERE ON HOUSING COMMITTEE I HAVE
SPENT HOURS LOOKING AT VARIOUS
PIECES OF LEGISLATION ALL WITH
THE HOPES TO TRY TO SOLVE THIS
HOUSING CRISIS. AND WE HAVE DONE
A LOT OF WORK IN THIS AREA BUT
WE STILL HAVEN'T MOVED FORWARD
ON THE GOAL TO GET PRODUCTION
AND THIS HAS ELUDED US- AND IT'S
NOT JUST CALIFORNIA TODAY ON NPR
THERE WAS A OF. A REPORT ABOUT
ACROSS. I'M ACTUALLY THE UNITED
STATES AND HOW MUCH ATTAINING A
SOME TYPE OF HOMEOWNERSHIP. IS
BECOMING. NOT THE AMERICAN DREAM
BECAUSE THERE HAVE NOT BEEN
ENOUGH UNITS BUILT THIS ISN'T
ONLY ABOUT AFFORDABLE HOUSING
IT'S ALSO ABOUT THE MIDDLE CLASS
HOUSING AS WE KNOW THERE ARE
MANY PEOPLE READY TO MOVE FROM
UP RENTALS INTO. HOUSING AND
SOME WHO MOVED IN WITH THEIR
PARENTS DURING THE PANDEMIC NOW
HALF. THE READ THIS IS TO PUT A
DOWN PAYMENT BUT AT EIGHT
HUNDRED AND FIFTY THOUSAND
DOLLARS EVEN WITH THOSE
RESOURCES THAT THEY MAY HAVE
SAVED THERE AREN'T THE UNITS
AVAILABLE. THIS JUST HAPPENED
TODAY THIS MORNING MY TO ON NINE
YEAR OLD SON- CALLED ANY WANTED
ADVICE- IT BECAUSE HE IS LOOKING
FOR A RENTAL. AND THERE WERE TWO
CHOICES BOTH FOR A TWO BEDROOM
AT THIRTY FIVE HUNDRED NOW IN
ORANGE COUNTY. AND HIS QUESTION
WAS YOU KNOW WHICH ONE DID I
THINK WOULD BE BETTER AND SO
THINGS LIKE PARKING THINGS LIKE
ACCESS TO PARKING ALL OF THESE
BUT THIS IS. ONE PERSON LOOK IN
WHAT WE WOULD HAVE SAID LAST
YEAR WAS A TWENTY FIVE HUNDRED
DOLLAR UNIT. SO IN ONE YEAR
THOSE TWENTY FIVE HUNDRED DOLLAR
UNITS HAVE NOW GONE UP TO THIRTY
FIVE HUNDRED IN SOME LOCATIONS-
BUT IT IS. KIND OF HEART
WRENCHING TO SEE A FRIEND FIGHT
BECAUSE THIS THE TRADES AND THE
CARPENTERS ARE OFTEN ON THE
SAME- TEAM AND I THINK THAT- BUT
MOVING THIS TO. RULES COULD GIVE
A LITTLE BIT OF TIME FOR PEOPLE
TO COME TO THE TABLE I WOULD SAY
THOUGH AND IN. MANY WAYS. PEOPLE
DON'T LIKE BY RIGHT LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS HATE BY RIGHT-
NIMBIS HATE BY RIGHT MANY PEOPLE
HATE BY RIGHT BUT WHY WOULD THE
STATE TAKE THIS STEP IS THE
QUESTION WHY WOULD THERE BE A
BILL TO PUSH HOUSING TO A POINT
WHERE IT IS AT BY RIGHT AND IT
SIMPLY BECAUSE WE'RE NOT
BUILDING WE HAVE NOT BEEN
BUILDING AND THERE HAVE BEEN
MANY MANY MANY MANY PRODUCTION
BILLS THAT GET STUCK EVEN IF
THEY GET OUT OF THIS COMMITTEE
AND THEY GET OFF THE FLOOR. THEY
GET KILLED IN APPROPRIATIONS AND
IT'S HAPPENED OVER AD OVER AND
OVER SO WHEN SOME OF OUR FRIENDS
WHETHER IT BE FROM THE TRADES OR
IN CARPENTERS SAY YOU KNOW
WHAT'S GOING ON WE HAVE BEEN
PUSHED TO SAY YES SOMETIMES TWO
BILLS THAT WOULD PUT US IN A
FRIEND FIGHT AND I BELIEVE ME
IT'S THE LAST THING WE WANT TO
OR I SHOULD SPEAK FOR MYSELF
WANT TO DO IS TO BE IN THE
MIDDLE- A FIGHT. WE KNOW WHAT
THE STAKES ARE WE KNOW WHAT THEY
ARE TO US PERSONALLY BUT I
CANNOT STAND BY AND NOT SAY YES
TO HOUSING PRODUCTION FOR ME
IT'S A MORAL DECISION WHEN WE
SEE AND PEOPLE DON'T WANT TO
HAVE THIS CONVERSATION WHICH IS
TO CONNECT HOMELESSNESS TO
HOUSING. IT THERE IS A DIRECT
RELATIONSHIP TO HOMELESSNESS AND
HOUSING AND FOR THOSE PEOPLE WHO
DON'T WANT TO HAVE THAT
CONVERSATION I'M SORRY BUT THE
TRUTH IS THAT IF WE DON'T HAVE
PLACES FOR PEOPLE TO MOVE INTO
FOR THAT ARE ON THE STREETS.
PERMANENT SUPPORTIVE HOUSING
WHICH MEANS HOUSING PRODUCTION
THEY'RE GOING TO STAY THERE WE
CANNOT HAVE PEOPLE LIVING THREE
AND FOUR YEARS IN SHELTERS. AND
THAT'S WHAT'S ACTUALLY HAPPENING
THOSE SHELTERS WERE BUILT FOR
SIX MONTHS MAYBE A YEAR NOW WE
HAVE NO PLACE TO MOVE THEM SO. I
WANT TO SEE MORE PROGRESS WITH
THE TRADES IN THE CALL CENTER SO
I WILL SUPPORT AND INITIATIVE I
PRAY LITERALLY PRAY- THAT SOME
PROGRESS CAN BE MADE. IN THE
NEXT FEW WEEKS SO THAT WE COULD
HAVE A TEAM APPROACH HERE BUT
THE ULTIMATE GOAL IS WE HAVE TO
BUILD AND WE HAVE TO BUILD WITH
URGENCY AND WE HAVE TO BUILD.
FASTER BECAUSE WE CANNOT ALLOW
WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THE STATE
OF CALIFORNIA TO CONTINUE. THANK
YOU. MR WARD THANK YOU MISTER
CHAIRMAN I WANT TO THANK THE
AUTHORS FOR WORKING SO HARD ON
BRINGING FORM- AND BRING
FORWARD- THE TEMPLATE MODEL I
THINK HERE FOR MAYBE HOW WE CAN
PROCEED FORWARD ON A NUMBER OF
HOUSING RELATED QUESTIONS NOW-
AND INTO THE FUTURE- LEVERS AT
ISSUES ASIDE I REALLY WANT TO
COMMEND YOU FOR FOCUSING ON
COMMERCIAL OFFICE UP PARKING AND
OTHER UNDER UTILIZED SPACES THAT
WE KNOW ARE TRANSFORMING NOW
LITERALLY IN THIS DECADE IN THIS
MOMENT ON THAT WE NEED TO THINK
MORE CREATIVELY ABOUT HOW TO
OFFER DENSITY OUR- THESE IN
PLACES THAT ARE PEOPLE ALREADY
ARE THAT THAT THE DEVELOPMENT
ALREADY IS AND HOW WE ARE.
REIMAGINING OUR ART AND OUR
NEIGHBORHOODS IN A CONSTRUCTIVE-WAY SO I THINK THIS IS A REALLY
GOOD PLACE I KNOW THIS IS
SOMETHING HOLDS LEADERS TRY TO
TACKLE BEFORE AS WELL- BUT FROM
A PLANNING PERSPECTIVE I WANT TO
THANK YOU FOR FOCUSING ON THAT
BECAUSE IT'S GOING TO OFFER A
LARGE CAPACITY OF OPPORTUNITY
SITES ON THAT THAT REALLY WILL
CATALYZE A LOT OF HOUSING THAT
OF COURSE WE NEED IN FOR
FOCUSING AND TRACKING THIS ON
THE NEED FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING
AS WELL SO YOU KNOW WHAT DOES
STANDARDS AND OF COURSE THEN-
THE BEGINNINGS OF WORK TO MAKE
SURE THAT WE ARE ELEVATING LABOR
STANDS AS WELL AS JUST
INCREDIBLY COMMENDABLE- FOR
BRINGING. TOGETHER THIS. ON ON
ALL. THIS TO THE POINT YOU KNOW.
I AGREE AND I WANT TO THANK
THOSE AT ALL. HAVE INCOME- TO
DATE FOR WRITTEN YOU KNOW BEING
ABLE TO ELEVATE PREVAILING WAGE
THAT'S SOMETHING THAT THE
LEGISLATURE IS WANTED. FOR A
VERY LONG TIME- BECAUSE OUR
WORKERS DESERVE IT. AND BE ABLE
TO START TO PUT IN HEALTHCARE
AND- APPRENTICESHIP STANDARDS
AND A LOT OF OTHER LABOR. NEEDS
THAT ARE IN HERE IS- YOU KNOW
LEAPS AND- NONE. LEAPS IN THE
RIGHT DIRECTION. I'M WE WANT TO
MAKE SURE THAT WE GET THAT RIGHT
AND YOUR DOUBLE BEING IN THE
DETAILS I AGREE WITH YOU CHAIR
WICKS- THAT. WE WANT TO MAKE
SURE THAT THIS ISN'T I'M STUCK
SO HAPPY TO SUPPORT. IT GOING
FOR THE RULES AS WELL- BUT WE
NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYBODY
IS ARE COMING TO THE TABLE THAT
THEY ARE WORKING ON THESE
ISSUES- BECAUSE- ANOTHER YEARS
DELAY IS NOT- ACCEPTABLE- MINE
YOU. HAVE IN HERE IF WE ARE.
ENTERING THIS **** FURTHER
NEGOTIATION AND CONVERSATIONS- I
DO HAVE A CONCERN WITH THE
SEPARABILITY CLAUSE. AND THAT IF
WE ARE. CONNECTING UP A LOT OF
THESE STANDARDS TOGETHER THIS
NEGOTIATION- I I'M DEEPLY-CONCERNED THAT- WHETHER IT'S
THROUGH HEALTH CARE OR THE NEED
TO HAVE A- STAND. ON SOME OF THE
ISSUES THAT ARE BUILT IN HERE-
MONEY- SUBSEQUENTLY FALL OUT AND
NOT LEAVE SOMETHING. WHEN IT'S
IMPLEMENTED- THAT IS NOT
BENEFITING THE WORKERS- IT IT
UNDERCUTS THE NEGOTIATIONS THAT
WE ALL SINCERELY. TRYING TO
NEGOTIATE SO I HOPE THAT I CAN
GET ON THE TABLE AS YOU ARE
WORKING THROUGH THAT THE
TECHNICAL DETAIL MATTERS. THE
SECOND ISSUE FOR ME. THE
PROFESSION SO SCREENS THAT ARE
GOING INTO THE EVENTUAL
CONSTRUCTION OF THESE UNITS THAT
WE THINK ABOUT. YOU KNOW SOME OF
THOSE THAT REALLY REQUIRED YOU
JUST SKILLED THE SORT. THE
PROFESSIONAL- EXPERTISE TO BE
ABLE TO GET RIGHT WE DON'T WANT
TO DELIVER. HOUSING PRODUCT
THAT- IN THAT IS GOING TO. BE
PERFORMED BY SUBSTANDARD WORK ON
THAT MAKE SURE ESPECIALLY WHERE
HEALTH INS AND ESPECIALLY SAFETY
YOUR CONCERN. ON THAT FOR THE
EVENTUAL OWNERS TENANTS- BUT
THAT IS CONSIDERED AN OF COURSE-
FOR THE LEVER THAT IS PERFORMED
THAT THAT WORKER STANDARDS AS
WELL- ARE UPHELD SO THAT- PEOPLE
. ARE NOT PERFORMING IN- ON-
JOBSITES WITH SUBSTANDARD
CONDITIONS AS WELL. A LOT- YOU
KNOW ABOVE DETAILED WORK ON BUT
I THINK THAT YOU WILL HAVE A PUT
SO MUCH TOGETHER. AS AN AREA OF
FOCUS THAT IT SOUNDS LIKE THERE
IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR TREATMENT.
LET'S GET TO THAT AGREEMENT THIS
YEAR- AND I'M REALLY HAPPY TO BE
ABLE TO SUPPORT THIS MOVING
FORWARD. THANK YOU. MISTER KALRA
. THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR AND
THANK YOU MATT CHAIR- FOR ALL
YOUR WORK ON THIS LOOK YOU KNOW-
I A REPRESENTS SAN JOSE THE
CAPITAL SILICON VALLEY- IT. A
SUPER MILLIONAIRE IS AS SOMEONE
THAT HAS A NET WORTH WERE THIRTY
MILLION DOLLARS. SAN JOSE HAS
MORE SUPER MILLION HIGHER
DENSITIES MILLIONAIRES THAN ANY
OTHER PLACE IN THE WORLD. AND
YET IN THE WHAT ONE OF THE
WEALTHIEST CITIES ONE OF THE IN
THE WEALTHIEST REGION THE
WEALTHIEST STATE. THE WEALTHIEST
NATION ON EARTH THERE ARE
THOUSANDS LIVING ON THE STREETS-
THERE ARE MANY MORE THOUSANDS.
THERE ARE VERGE OF. BEING
DISPLAY- THE THEIR HOME. LOSING
THEIR APART. JUST JUST A FEW
WEEKS AGO. AND THREE OF THREE
WEEKS AGO OR SO. I WAS WALKING
AROUND- THIS LARGE OTHERWISE OF
WHAT USED TO BE AN EMPTY LOT
HUGE FIELD NEAR THE AIRPORT THE
NOW HAS HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE
LIVING THERE- IN THEIR CARS AND
RV'S. AND THE REALITY IS THAT
INACTION IS NOT AN DIFFERENCE IS
CRUELTY- THAT BEING SAID. WE
ALSO HAVE TO RECOGNIZE THAT IT'S
A CIRCULAR ISSUE. THAT WHEN
WORKERS ARE TREATED WELL THEY
ARE NOT PAID WELL WHEN THERE'S A
WAGE THEFT WHEN- THEIR
SUBSTANDARD WORKING CONDITIONS
DOES THE SAME WORKERS- THAT
SUFFER FROM LACK OF HOUSING THAT
SUFFER FROM A LACK OF
AFFORDABILITY. THE SILICON
VALLEY- IS A IS A AS GOOD OF AN
EXAMPLE OR AS BAD OF AN EXAMPLE
OF THERE'S DEFINITELY A GOOD
THING. AS ANYWHERE ELSE. AND BUT
YOU SEE WHEN YOU DON'T HAVE.
WRONG LABOR STANDARDS IS WHAT
YOU SEE IS ALEVE WHEN SHE WAS
THAT WAS WHAT WAS HAPPENING WITH
THE SILVERY TOWERS WHICH
NICKNAME SLAVERY TOWERS WHERE
DEVELOPERS ARE SEEN THE
DEVELOPERS THE MILLIONS OF
SUBJECTS SUBSIDIES WERE YET THE
WORKERS THEY FOUND HUMAN
TRAFFICKING SLAVE LABOR WORKERS
WERE KEPT CAPTIVE IN WAREHOUSES
. YOU FIND- THE ONE SOUTH PARK
PRO CUTS IF YOU DOLLARS TAXPAYER
. IF THERE'S ANY ANALYST.
ATTEMPT YOU TO SHOW CONSTRUCTION
BECAUSE THEY WENT TURN SUB
STANDARD LAID- ALMOST HOUSING
FOR. WITH PROJECT TURNKEY I WAS
ACTUALLY THERE HOME WITH AND- IT
WAS OPEN THE GOVERNOR WAS THERE
. MAYOR AND OTHER DIGNITARIES
FIND OUT LATER. THAT ALTHOUGH IT
WAS A PROJECT LED MILLION
DOLLARS A STATE AND CITY
FUNDING. THAT HAZARDOUS
CONDITIONS ARE MET PAGE STUFF
THERE BECAUSE THERE WASN'T
ENOUGH ACCOUNTABILITY. OF ALL IS
HAPPENING ON THAT SIDE. AND SO-
I MENTION ALL THIS BECAUSE I
WANT EVERYONE TO UNDERSTAND
THAT. THAT THESE ARE. NOT
COMPETING INTERESTS- THESE ARE
MORAL ISSUES THAT ARE OF EQUAL
IMPORTANCE AND SHOULD BE OF
EQUAL IMPORTANCE TO EVERYONE.
ABOUT HAVING HOUSING HAVE HAVING
PEOPLE WITH THE DIGNITY OF
HOUSING HAVING PEOPLE THE
DIGNITY OF- OF WORK AND WORKER
PROTECTIONS IN THE END OF A
LIVING WAGE AND. AND THAT WHEN
JURISDICTIONS SPECIALLY LOCAL
JURISDICTIONS I DON'T CARE AS
MUCH ABOUT THAT- THE BY PRODUCT
IS- LABOR TRAFFICKING THE BY
PRODUCT IS SUB STANDARD
CONSTRUCTION. AND SO- I BELIEVE
THAT WE NEED TO FIND. A WAY. TO
RECOGNIZE OUR COMMONALITIES ARE
THE THINGS THAT WE CARRY ON AND
FIND A WAY- THE TO THE BEST
EXTENT POSSIBLE- UP TO FORTY
COME TOGETHER ON THOSE AREAS
WHERE- THERE'S- BEEN
DISAGREEMENT. I DON'T CARE HOW
LONG THE DISAGREEMENTS BEEN
THERE- I THINK THAT IT'S OUR
OBLIGATION TO TRY TO RESOLVE IT
RIGHT AND THE BEST WE CAN- AND
YOU KNOW I KNOW THAT IN TALKING
WITH SOME OF THE OPPOSITION AND-
CONCERNS WHETHER THERE'S ENOUGH
FOR THE STRONG ENOUGH
APPRENTICESHIP LANGUAGE OR
ACCOUNTABILITY STRUCTURE THEIR
SENSE. I AGREE WITH SOME OF THAT
ESPECIALLY WHEN IT COMES LOCAL
JURISDICTIONS THAT IF WE JUST
GIVE UP LOCAL JURISDICTIONS MY
UNFORTUNATELY MY CITIES AN
EXAMPLE WHAT HAPPENS YOU JUST
LEAVE IT LOCAL JURISDICTIONS
THAT ARE JUST IN A MAD RUSH TO
BUILD. AND THEY GIVE ALL THESE
OF THIS MONEY AWAY TO DEVELOPERS
TO BUILD- AND THE END RESULT IS
ALWAYS PLEASANT IN FACT THAT'S
WHY DID A BILL WITH THE BUILDING
TRADES A FEW YEARS BACK TO
DEFINED MINIMUS TO MAKE SURE
WE'RE GETTING PUBLIC SUBSIDIES-
THAT THAT WE HAVE BETTER
STANDARDS AND PREVAILING WAGE
WHAT HAVE YOU- AND SO. YOU KNOW
. ALTHOUGH I HAVE OF STRUGGLED.
WITH THIS BECAUSE OF THOSE BOTH
NOBLE AND RIGHTEOUS COMPETING
INTERESTS. BUT WHAT I HAVEN'T
STRUGGLED WITH IS MY BELIEF. IN
THIS IS THIRTY THE AUTHOR- OF.
NOT ONLY UNDERSTANDING THE
URGENCY. OF OUR- OUR HOUSING
AFFORDABILITY AND HOMELESSNESS
CRISIS THAT- BUT I WITH A
BECAUSE I USED TO SAY OURS ABOUT
THE MOST IN THE BAY AREA BUT
REALLY IT'S NOT EVERYWHERE IN
OUR STATE- MAYBE SOME DEGREES.
BUT I THINK YOU CAN. BUT
EVERYWHERE. I'M. AND I'M
ENCOURAGED BY CONVERSATIONS THAT
THAT HAVE BEEN HAPPENING OF
LATE- WHETHER THERE OF LATE OR
OR NOT THEY'RE HAPPENING- AND
THE OF A REFERRAL TO RULES TO
GET THE OPPORTUNITY FOR THAT
CONTINUED- MEANINGFUL UP A
DIALOGUE AND CONVERSATION
BECAUSE THAT'S SOMETHING WE
HAVEN'T HAD ENOUGH OF THE LAST
COUPLE YEARS- ON THESE ISSUES
BUT PUTS A LOT OF US IN
DIFFICULT POSITIONS THAT YOU
KNOW WHAT WHAT WHAT THAT THAT
UNDERSTAND THE URGENCY OF THE
HOUSING ISSUE WE ALSO UNDERSTAND
THE NEED TO STAND WITH OUR
BROTHERS AND SISTERS LABOR. AND
YOU KNOW I AM I AM COMMITTED TO
THE BEST IMPOSSIBLE FINDING THAT
PATH FOR BOTH AND SOMETIMES IT'S
NOT ACHIEVABLE WHEN YOU MATTER
HOW MY HEART BE TRY BUT WE HAVE
TO TRY HARD. AND WE HAD A BIT
AND I HAS TO TRY BECAUSE- PEOPLE
ARE SUFFERING. IT AND I SEE IT
EVERY DAY- IN A PLACE WHERE THAT
SHOULDN'T BE HAPPENING. IN
CALIFORNIA WE SHOULDN'T HAVE THE
SUFFERING- IN CALIFORNIA WE
SHOULDN'T HAVE WORKERS WORKING
IN NEAR LIKE SLAVE CONDITIONS IN
CALIFORNIA WE SHOULD HAVE WASTE
AFTER THEY APPRECIATE THE WAGE
THEFT- COMPONENTS OF THIS- AND
AGAIN ABOUT HOW TOUGH THE
COMPONENTS ARE THE
ACCOUNTABILITY ASPECTS AT THE
LOCAL LEVEL NEED TO BE EQUALLY
AS STRONG AND SO THESE ARE ALL
THINGS THAT I BELIEVE. CAN BE
WORKED OUT WHETHER THEY WILL BE
WORKED OUT OR NOT IS UP TO ALL
OF US- IT IT'S UP TO ALL OF US
SINCERELY WANTING TO FIND A
SOLUTION AND UNDERSTANDING THAT
WHILE WE DELAY- THERE'S A LOT OF
SUFFERING THAT'S HAPPENING AND
I'M NOT THE ONE THAT'S GOING TO
THAT SUFFERING BUT I FEEL IT-
BECAUSE THESE ARE PEOPLE I CARE
ABOUT MY COMMUNITY. MANY OF WHOM
I KNOW- THAT THAT ARE SUFFERING
THROUGH THIS AND SO I JUST
IMPLORE AND I PRAY THAT- ALL OF
US GOING TO DO WHATEVER I CAN TO
COME TO THE TABLE TO WHATEVER
EXTENT I CAN BE HELPFUL- TO HELP
US GET THERE. BUT I DO
APPRECIATE- OF THE AUTHOR AND I
APPRECIATE THE BUILDING TRADES
OTHER OPPOSITION THAT REACH OUT
AND HAVE. MADE IT VERY CLEAR
THAT THEY ALSO UNDERSTAND THE
URGENCY OF THE SITUATION BUT-
THEY HAVE A VERY SINCERE- UP.
DESIRE TO REPRESENT THEIR
INTERESTS I THINK THEIR THEIR-
THEIR THEIR OPPOSITION COMES
FROM A PLACE OF SINCERITY AS
WELL- AND I THINK THAT WHEN YOU
HAVE A BUNCH OF SINCERE PEOPLE
IN THE ROOM. THAT THAT THAT WANT
TO FIND A PLACE OF COMMON
GROUND. I THINK IT'S ACHIEVABLE
AND SO- I HOPE WE CAN GET THERE-
I'LL BE SUPPORTING. THE BILL
TODAY- AND I HOPE TO DO SO IN
THE FUTURE BECAUSE THAT MEANS
THAT THERE'S BEEN PROGRESS AND I
HOPE THAT WE CAN ALL. GET THERE
SO THANK YOU ALL. SO I HAVE A
FEW COMMENTS BEFORE WE GO BACK
TO THE AUTHOR- YOU KNOW I COME
FROM A DISTRICT IT HAS NEWER
COMMUNITIES- COMMUNITIES BEEN
AROUND A LONG TIME AND ARE NOW.
EXPERIENCING THE GROWTH. THAT
OCCURRED IN ORANGE COUNTY AND
OVER IN L. A. COUNTY AND IN
THOSE AREAS- ONE OF THE-
PROBLEMS I SEE WITH OUR APPROACH
NOT NECESSARY JUST WITH THIS
BILL BUT OUR APPROACH IN GENERAL
IS THAT WE'RE WE'RE TRYING TO
FIX AND FIND SOLUTIONS FOR THIS
CRISIS IN URBAN AREAS. AND URBAN
AREAS WERE BUILT A HUNDRED YEARS
AGO AND YES THERE ARE CHANGES
THAT NEED TO BE DONE AND THEY
DIDN'T ENJOY THE BENEFITS OR
HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE PROCESS
OF CREATING GENERAL PLANS AND
HAVING ZONING AND ALL THESE
DIFFERENT THINGS- AND NOW THINGS
NEED TO CHANGE M. WHAT USED TO
WORK BACK THEN WHEN IT WAS ALL
INDUSTRIAL AND- PEOPLE WERE
BUILDING THINGS. NEEDS DO YOU
KNOW THOSE ARE SIT EMPTY AND
THOSE NEED TO GO OUT AND OUR
NEED IS HOUSING. AND SO WE NEED
TO ENSURE THAT THOSE URBAN
AREAS. ARE THE ONES WHERE WE'RE
FOCUSINGSOME OF OUR A LOT OF
OUR EFFORTS ON. AND AT THE SAME
TIME NOT HAMPERING THE EFFORTS
OF SUBURBAN AREAS. TO INCREASE
AND GET THEIR HOUSING BUILT
BECAUSE A LOT OF THEM HAVE THE
PLANS FOR HOUSING BUT THEY'RE
RUNNING INTO OBSTACLES. THAT
CREATE- DELAYS IN TRYING TO GET
THESE ON THE GROUND- I WAS ON A
CITY COUNCIL THAT APPROVED A-
AFFORDABLE HOUSING- COMPLEX WITH
THE BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB AND EVEN
. FIVE YEARS AGO SIX YEARS AGO.
IT'S STILL GOING THROUGH THE
PROCESS. IN THE PROCESS IS
SOMETHING THAT I DON'T HEAR US.
NECESSARILY YOU KNOW FOR ME IT'S
LIKE WE'RE CHANGING THE
WINDSHIELD WIPERS BECAUSE OUR
CAR WON'T START. IN THE PROCESS
ITSELF IT IS CREATING THESE
DELAYS THE CREATE THE COST. AND
FRANKLY I AGREE WITH EVERYBODY I
WOULD RATHER BE SPENDING A
LITTLE MORE MONEY. ON THE PEOPLE
THAT ACTUALLY DO THE WORK THEN I
WOULD FIND CARRYING COSTS
STUDIES THAT ARE REDUNDANT. AND
THESE DELAYS- THAT OUR OUR
AGENCIES AT ALL LEVELS STATE
LOCAL FEDERAL AND LOCAL ARE AND
I COUNTY. ALL ALL THOSE ALL HAVE
AGENCIES THAT ARE INVOLVED IN
THE PROCESS TO GET SOMETHING
THROUGH THIS THIS DEVELOPMENT I
WAS TALKING ABOUT. THEY WAITED
TWO YEARS TO TRY AND FIGURE OUT
. WITH EIGHT CD WHAT THE FUNDING
FOR THAT WE HAVE MONEY THAT
WE'VE MADE AVAILABLE TAKEN TWO
YEARS TO JUST GET THROUGH THAT
PROCESS. IN THE MEANWHILE COSTS
HAVE SKYROCKETED FOR MATERIALS
AND EVERYTHING ELSE WE HAVE A
LABOR SHORTAGE BECAUSE- WE WENT
FROM BUILDING A LOT OF HOMES
BACK IN THE SEVENTIES AND
EIGHTIES. TO CREATING A BUNCH OF
REGULATIONS TO SLOW THAT DOWN
WHAT WE SLOWED IT DOWN. AND AS
THAT SLOW SLOW PERIOD CAME
WORKERS WHO USED TO BUILD HOUSES
HAD TO GO SOMEWHERE ELSE HAD TO
FIND OTHER TYPES OF WORK TO GO
INTO. NOW WE HAVE A SHORTAGE OF
LABOR. AND WE HAVE TO TRY TO
CATCH UP BECAUSE WE CAN'T JUST
APPROVE EVERYTHING BECAUSE WE
DON'T EVEN HAVE ENOUGH FLAVORS
FOR THE FOR THAT TO HAPPEN. SO
THERE'S A LOT OF PROBLEMS THAT
WE NEED TO WORK ON AND YOU KNOW
I WOULD BE REALLY SUPPORTIVE OF
A LOT OF THESE EFFORTS. IF WE
WOULD TAKE THIS AREAS AND I
CONTINUE WHAT WE'RE DOING WITH
THEM AND THEN TAKE THE URBAN
AREAS AND CREATE THAT CHANGE FOR
THOSE AREAS CREATE THE
MECHANISMS TO CREATE THAT CHANGE
- RIGHT NOW IN. IN OUR AREAS WE
HAVE A LOT OF LAND THAT IS ZONED
. FOR HIGH DENSITY PROJECTS
WHICH INCLUDES THIS SO THEY HAVE
TO GO THROUGH ALL THAT PROCESS
TO DO THAT BUT WE'RE CREATING A
MECHANISM HERE WHERE THEY CAN GO
INTO THE COMMERCIAL AREA. AND
JUST BUILD BY RIGHT. WE SHOULD
DO BETWEEN THAT AND THE OTHER
WHERE IT'S RESIDENTIAL WORDS
DON'T FOR BECAUSE IN THE GENERAL
PLAN OF A COMMUNITY OF THESE NEW
COMMUNITIES THAT ARE GROWING.
ALL OF THESE THINGS ARE TAKING A
CONSIDERATION ALL OF THE REASONS
THAT WE HAVE YOUR OF THE
ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE EFFORTS
THAT PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO DO. IN
IN OUR URBAN AREAS THE REASON
THEY'RE HAVING TO DO THAT IS
BECAUSE THEY WEREN'T PLANNED OUT
VERY WELL. AND SO YEAH YOU HAVE
TIRE STORES NEXT TO A
RESIDENTIAL BUILDING AND SO WHAT
DID THEY GET TO LISTEN TO THEY
GET THE LISTEN TO. THE IMPACT
WRENCHES IN THE TIRES BEING
CHANGED IN CARVER YOU KNOW ALL
THE NOISE AND ALL THE ADVERSE
IMPACTS THAT COME FROM BEING
NEAR A STORE LIKE THAT. SO WE'VE
SEPARATED THOSE ALL OUT WE'VE
HAD TO DO IT WE HAD TO GO
THROUGH PROCESSES OF AIR TRAFFIC
SCHOOLS WATER RUN OFF HABITAT
ECONOMIC BALANCE ECONOMIC
DEVELOPMENT BALLOTS. AND THE
JOBS AND HOUSING BALANCE. WE
WERE TOLD AS CITIES YOU CAN'T
JUST BUILD HOUSES YOU CAN'T JUST
BUILD COMMERCIAL YOU HAVE TO
BUILD A BALANCE OF THEM SO THAT
THE PEOPLE THAT MOVING THE
HOUSES HAVE A PLACE TO WORK.
WELL WE'RE TAKING THOSE OFF
LINE. THEY'VE GOT TO BE MADE UP
SOMEWHERE IN THE GOING TO BE
MADE UP IN THE NEXT GENERAL PLAN
BECAUSE THE NEXT JOURNAL PLAN.
IT HAS TO BE UPDATED EVERY FIVE
TO TEN YEARS HAS TO BE. IN
BALANCE WITH WHAT YOU'VE
CREATED. SO THEY'RE GONNA WIND
UP TAKING OTHER AREAS THAT ARE
MORE SUITABLE FOR THIS OUT. IN
THOSE SUBURBAN AREAS. SO IT'S
HARD FOR ME TO SUPPORT THIS NOT
NOT BECAUSE OF THE- THE ISSUES
WITH WITH THE LABOR ALTHOUGH I.
YOU KNOW I HOPE THEY CAN GET
THAT ALL IRONED OUT. BUT BECAUSE
I COULD SUPPORT SOMETHING THAT
WOULD CREATE ZONES WHERE THIS IS
THIS APPLIES AND IT WORKS. AND
IT'S USABLE. AND AND ALSO IF WE
START REFORMING THE PROCESS.
THAT HAS CREATED THIS CRISIS. IF
WE RECOGNIZE THAT. YOU KNOW WHAT
INSTEAD OF EXEMPTING THIS FROM
C. QUITE AND THAT FROM CIGNA AND
THEN THAT FROM SIKA. BUT WE'RE
NOT GOING TO TAXICABS. WE NEED
TO EVALUATE IT SO IT COMES INTO
COMPLIANCE WITH WITH WHAT WHAT
OUR NEEDS ARE TODAY. AND THERE
ARE TRADE OFFS TO BE MADE AND WE
DO AND WE ARE TRADING RIGHT NOW
WE'RE TRADING OFF THOSE PEOPLE
IN THE STREET THAT WE'RE TALKING
ABOUT. FOR A PROCESS THAT NEEDS
TO BE UPDATED DESPERATELY BUT
NOBODY WILL TOUCH. AND SO THAT
YOU KNOW THAT'S WHERE MY
FEELINGS ARE ON THIS IS YOU KNOW
I IT IS GREAT IDEAS GREAT
INTENTIONS IT'S NOT GONNA FIX
THE PROBLEM. AND UNTIL WE START
FIXING THE PROBLEM I RECOGNIZE
THAT. OUR PROCESS IS THE PROBLEM
LET'S ATTACK THAT. DAN ALL OF
THIS OTHER STUFF IS JUST IT'S
GOING TO BE ON THE BOOKS AND
WE'RE GONNA HAVE THE SAME
PROBLEM IN TEN YEARS. WE WON'T
BE HERE BUT SOMEBODY ELSE WILL
BE GOING HEY WHAT THE HECK ARE
THOSE GUYS DOING. SO YOU KNOW I
WOULD I WOULD SAY WE NEED A LOT
MORE WORK ON THIS. SO THAT WE
CAN MAKE IT WORKABLE. FOR ALL
AREAS TO URBAN AREAS THE
SUBURBAN AREAS. LET THOSE PLACES
TO BUILD LIKE THEY'RE SUPPOSED
TO BE BUILDING. AND REDO THE
URBAN REAS TO BE ABLE TO
ACCOMMODATE WHAT THE NEED. SO WE
WON'T HAVE THOSE HOMELESS
PEOPLE. SO WE WILL HAVE HOUSING
FOR EVERYBODY- BUT UNTIL WITHOUT
SUPPLY CATCHES OF THE DEMAND THE
HOUSING CALIFORNIA IS NOT GOING
TO CHANGE. THE LAST THING I WANT
TO SAY IS- WHEN YOU'RE ACQUIRING
COMMERCIAL LAND THAT'S THREE
TIMES AS MUCH- ACQUISITION
COSTS. AS IT IS FOR RESIDENTIAL
PROPERTY. JUST GO THROUGH
GENERAL PLANT PLAN PROCESS TRY
TO CHANGE SOMEBODY'S. THE LAND
FROM COMMERCIAL TO RESIDENTIAL
ZONING AND WATCHING SCREAM.
THAT'S BECAUSE THEY JUST LOST A
MILLION DOLLARS ON THE PROPERTY.
SO YOU KNOW THOSE ARE THINGS
THAT- WE ALSO HAVE TO CONSIDER
A- CONSIDER IN THESE COSTS FOR
DEVELOPMENT. I'D RATHER THOSE
COSTS BE SPENT ON ON THE PEOPLE
TO BUILD PLACES BUT WE'RE
SPENDING ALL THIS OTHER STUFF.
AND THEN. OUR OUR WORKERS ARE
CUT SHORT. SO I APPRECIATE YOU
ALLOWING ME TO- COMMENT ON IT. I
WILL BRING IT BACK TO YOU MISS
WICKS- FOR CLOSE. THANK YOU.

IN TWO IMPORTANT WAYS THE FIRST
IS LEGISLATION REQUIRES THE
DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT. TO
CONDUCT A FIRST OF ITS KIND
STATEWIDE ASSESSMENT OF FORMER
HOUSING NEEDS AND CONDITIONS AND
THEN DEVELOP A FORMAL HOUSING
STRATEGY. ON THOSE FINDINGS
UNFORTUNATELY- AS A STATE WE
CLEARLY LACK- YOU KNOW THE KIND
OF STATEWIDE DATA NEEDED TO
TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM. YEAH I
SHOULD NOTE A TWO THOUSAND
EIGHTEEN FARMWORKER HOUSING
STUDY IN ACTION PLAN- THAT WAS
CONDUCTED FOR THE SALINAS APOLLO
VALLEYS- WAS PUT AND WAS
PREPARED BY THE CALIFORNIA'S TWO
FOR REAL STUDIES IT ILLUSTRATED
A DIRE DIRE HOUSING SITUATION
HIGH RATES OF OVERCROWDING AND
HOMELESSNESS AMONGST OUR OUR OF.
AMONG FARMWORKERS THEIR FAMILIES
. AND SECOND SUCH SEEKS TO
PROVIDE A DEDICATED FUNDING
SOURCE FOR FORMER HOUSING YOU
KNOW BY SAID INSIDE AT LEAST 5%
OF ALL AFFORDABLE HOUSING TAX
CREDITS. FOR A FORMER HOUSING
FOR TEN YEARS. BOTH OF THESE
MEASURES ARE INCREDIBLY
IMPORTANT IN THIS BILL- AND THEY
WILL PUT OUR STATE ON A PATH TO
DO MUCH MUCH MORE. THAN WE HAVE
AS A STATE TO ADDRESS OUR FORMER
HOUSING SHORTAGE- ANY SURE
DECENT DECENT LIVING CONDITIONS
FOR THESE ESSENTIAL WORKERS.
WITH ME HERE TO TESTIFY IS BRIAN
AUGUSTA ON BEHALF OF THE
CALIFORNIA RULE ASSISTANCE-
FOUNDATION. ACTUALLY OF THE
CHAIR FOR HER- PARKER MISTER
EVANS GO FIRST AND THEN ALL NO
PROBLEM THESE CERTAINLY. THE
MORNING MY NAME IS PARKER I'M A
PROUD MANAGER WITH- MUTUAL
HOUSING CALIFORNIA WE'RE A
NONPROFIT AFFORDABLE HOUSING
DEVELOPER BASED HERE IN
SACRAMENTO. AND ONE OF THE
REASONS I'M HERE TODAY TO
SUPPORT THE BILLS BECAUSE MUTUAL
HOUSING IS ONE OF THE VERY FEW
DEVELOPERS IN THE STATE THAT CAN
SAY THAT WE HAVE ACTUALLY USED
THE STATE FARM WORKER TAX CREDIT
IN ITS CURRENT FORM- SURE YOU
GUYS HAVE ALL HEARD PLENTY OF
HORROR STORIES ABOUT HOW
DIFFICULT IT IS TO BUILD
AFFORDABLE HOUSING CALIFORNIA
BOTH HERE IN THIS COMMITTEE AND
FROM THE DEVELOPERS IN YOUR
DISTRICT- BUT THIS PROJECT WAS
WAS REALLY A TREMENDOUS SUCCESS.
LET'S START WITH A CALL ABOUT A
SITE IN THE CITY OF WOODLAND AND
YOLO COUNTY- SMALL COMMUNITY
ABOUT TWENTY FIVE MINUTES
NORTHWEST OF HERE ABOUT THIS
SITE WE- SCOPE IT OUT TALK TO
SOME ELECTED OFFICIALS AND
MEMBERS AND TURNED OUT THEY WERE
REALLY EXCITED ABOUT BUILDING
AFFORDABLE HOUSING ON THE SITE
SO HEY WE'RE OFF TO A REALLY
GREAT START. TO LAUGH. IT
DEPENDS START OFF MAKE IT BETTER
START THAN SOME ONE WAY TO IS
ONE WAY TO MOVE OF THE DOOR
CLOSES. I'LL TWO GRADES ON ON
THIS SITE SO WE TALK TO SOME
MORE LIKE THAT OFFICIALS MORE
COMMUNITY MEMBERS HEY WHAT KIND
OF- POPULATIONS ARE YOU LOOKING
TO SEARCH AND WE LEARNED THAT
THERE'S A HUGE NEED FOR
FARMWORKER HOUSING IN THE CITY
OF WOODLAND. FANTASTIC LET'S
BUILD A FARMER HOUSING. AND WE
ALWAYS START WITH THE LOCAL
RESOURCES FIRST BECAUSE THOSE
ARE ALMOST ALWAYS THE FIRST ONES
THAT NEED TO BE COMMITTED. AND
IMMEDIATELY WHEN WE RUN INTO THE
PROJECT THE PROBLEM THAT IS
INHERENT BUILDING FARM WORKER
HOUSING WHICH IS YOU'RE DEALING
WITH SMALL JURISDICTIONS. SMALL
CITIES THAT DON'T HAVE THE KIND
OF RESOURCES THAT ARE AVAILABLE
TO US EVEN HERE IN SACRAMENTO
MUCH LESS WHAT'S AVAILABLE IN
THE BAY AND IN LOS ANGELES. NO
THAT'S NOT TO SAY THAT THE CITY
WOULD ONE DIDN'T HAVE ANY
RESOURCES THEY DID. THEY HAD AND
HOME ALLOCATION THEY HAD THEIR
CDBG ALLOCATION. EVEN HAD THE
FOR A HOUSING TRUST FUND WHICH
NOT ALL CITIES OF THEIR SIZE DO.
AND THEY- BASICALLY GAVE
EVERYTHING THAT THEY HAD TO THIS
PROJECT. BUT STILL NOWHERE NEAR
ENOUGH TO FILL THE GAP THAT THAT
THAT IT TAKES TO BUILD THIS
FARMER HOUSING PROJECT. SO WE
TURN TO- YOU STA. WHO SUPPORTS A
LOT FROM ACCOUNTING PROJECTS I
KNOW THERE ARE SOME COMMITTEE
MEMBERS HERE WHO ARE. INTERESTED
IN STREAMLINING PROCESSES IT T.
CACH INSIDE LIKE A CD AND I
WOULD LOVE IF YOU GUYS COULD GET
YOUR HANDS ON USDA. BUT WE- WE
ENDED UP GETTING AN ALLOCATION
FROM THEM. CLOSER STILL NOT
QUITE ENOUGH WHICH IS WHAT LED
US TO. GET REALLY FAMILIAR WITH
THE STATE FARM WORKER TAX
CREDIT. NOW THE STATE FARM OF
TAX CREDIT IN CALIFORNIA RIGHT
NOW IS A GRAND TOTAL OF FIVE
HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS A YEAR.
THAT'S NOT FIVE HUNDRED MILLION
DOLLARS WHICH IS THE STATE TAX
CREDIT ALLOCATION THE BROADER
ONE PERFORMERS IT'S FIVE HUNDRED
THOUSAND. WHICH IS ENOUGH TO GET
YOU MAYBE HALF A UNIT IN THE BAY
AREA EACH YEAR. IT'S NOT VERY.
MUCH- IN. IT'S SO SOME THAT YOU
CAN DOESN'T EVEN IT OUT OF YEAR
THEY HAVE TO WAIT FOR TO POOL
UP. AFTER LIKE FIVE YEARS FOR IT
TO GET TO A POINT WHERE IT'S
EVEN USABLE FOR A PROJECT- SO
FOR THIS PROJECT WE WERE.
FORTUNATE IN OUR TIMING AND WE
WERE COMPETITIVE ON OUR
APPLICATION AND WE WERE ABLE TO
RECEIVE AN AWARD OF FIVE YEARS
WORTH OF THIS STATE FARM WORKER
CREDIT. TWO AND A HALF MILLION
DOLLARS AND THAT HELPED CLOSE
THE GAP AND FUND THIS PROJECT.
GET A BILL YOU COULD NOT WRAP UP
COMMENTS PLEASE. YES THIS FIVE
HUNDRED THIS THIS UP THIS THIS
MOVEMENT OF. TO GET TO TWENTY
FIVE MILLION OF THE FORMER
HOUSING TAX CREDIT WOULD BE.
ABSOLUTELY TREMENDOUS. IT WILL
ENABLE US TO BUILD MORE
TREMENDOUS PROJECTS LIKE SPRING
LAKE- AND- I WOULD. REALLY
APPRECIATE IF YOU SUPPORT THE
BILL. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
DISTRIBUTIVE BRINING US ON
BEHALF OF THEIR CALIFORNIA RURAL

QUESTIONS OKAY CENTER AWARD
THANK YOU MR- I WANT TO THANK
YOU ALL FOR BRINGING THIS
FORWARD- I REMEMBER- I DON'T
TOUR THAT I'M HE HOSTED AND US
THINK THIS LENIS AREA WE HAD A
CHANCE TO REALLY DIVE INTO FARM
WORKER HOUSING AND I KNOW WHAT A
NECESSARY COMPONENT IS FOR OUR
TOTAL HOUSING NEEDS AND
PARTICULARLY FOR THOSE- WHO- WHO
ARE FARMWORKERS AND DESPERATELY
NEED THIS IS A RESOURCE AS WELL-
I AS A GENERAL RULE OF THUMB I
HAVE VERY STRONG RESERVATIONS
ABOUT CARVE OUTS ESPECIALLY ON
EXISTING FUNDING STREAMS ARE
EXISTING PROGRAMS- THE PIE IS
LIMITED THAT IT IS RIGHT NOW WE
WANT TO BE EFFICIENT- WITHOUT
THAT PINE. I THINK AS A PIE
GROWS WE CAN SEE YOU KNOW MORE
OPPORTUNITIES THERE ARE TO BE
ABLE TO HELP AREAS OF
DEVELOPMENT OR FUNDING SOCIAL
PROGRAMS OR WHATEVER IT IS- IN A. MORE- CONCERTED WAY BUT- THAT
SAID I WANT TO BE SENSITIVE AND
I WANT I WANT I WANT TO BE IS AS
HELPFUL AS POSSIBLE TO THE NEED
FOR FARMWORKER HOUSING. DOESN'T
GET DIGGING INTO THIS IS THOUGH
I JUST HAVE A COUPLE OF
QUESTIONS. ONE IS- YOU KNOW ON
THE ANALYSIS OF THE COLLEGES
THAT- THE- SOME OF THE EXISTING
PROGRAMS- SPECIFICALLY UNDER. AB
SIXTEEN FIFTY FOUR- NOTED THAT.
TEN PERCENT- OF THESE PROGRAMS
NEED TO BE SET ASIDE FOR HOUSING
IN RURAL AREAS SO THIS IS
ALREADY. EXISTING LAW. HOW IS.
THIS BILL REQUIRING A 5% SET
ASIDE REALLY ADDING VALUE. SO AS
YOU KNOW APPRECIATE THE QUESTION
IN MISTER EVANS I THINK YOU KNOW
IF. IF YOU CAN ANSWER THEM
PROGRESS CERTAINLY- I THINK ONE
CRITICAL ASPECT IS THAT THE
CURRENT STRUCTURE OF THE FARM
FOR BILL THERE'S A PROVISION
THAT ALLOWS. 34% BASIS BOOSTS
WHAT'S ADDITIONAL EQUITY- THAT
WOULDN'T OTHERWISE BE AVAILABLE
UNDER THE LARGER FIVE HUNDRED
MILLION STATE TAX CREDIT. THE
30% BASIS BOOST- FOR PROJECTS
THAT AREN'T LOCATED IN. A
DIFFICULT TO DEVELOP AREA
QUALIFIED CENSUS TRACT- IT
PROVIDES SIGNIFICANT ADDITIONAL
EQUITY TO THESE PROJECTS THAT'S
NOT. PART OF THE SET ASIDE FOR
THE- FIVE HUNDRED MILLION
DOLLARS OKAY. OKAY MAYBE I JUST
ONE MORE THING THAT MISTER WARD
IS I THINK THE 10% REFERENCE IN
THAT HOUSES WHICH WAS EXCELLENT.
WAS TRYING TO ILLUSTRATE HOW.
THE AUTHOR MAY HAVE COME 25% FOR
THIS PARTICULAR PROGRAM THAT WE
HAVE. DIFFERENT AS YOU KNOW
SILENCE. FUNDING STREAMS SOME OF
WHICH CREATED A SET ASIDE THERE
COULD BE AS HIGH AS 10% IN RURAL
AREAS OKAY AND ON THIS
PARTICULAR PROGRAM WITH LIGHT
TECH- THE HISTORICAL SORT OF
SUCCESS OF THIS- IN TWENTY
SEVENTEEN ONLY TWO. HOUSING
PROJECTS RECEIVED BY TECH AWARDS
IN TWENTY EIGHTEEN ONE RECEIVED
IT BUT THE RETURN THE CREDITS-
RETURNING- YOU KNOW THE SET AND
THEN YOU KNOW THE CURRENT SET
ASIDE IS THERE AT. AT FOUR POINT
SIX MILLION DOLLARS- MEANWHILE
THIS BILL WOULD- SUBJUGATE I
GUESS FUTURE ALLOCATIONS OR
FEATURE SET ASIDES FOR THREE
YEARS AND FINE YEARS BUT WE HAVE
SUCH A BROADER NEED RIGHT NOW.
IN THE PROJECTS ARE SHOVEL READY
AND READY TO GO AS MUCH AS I
WANT THAT TO BE PRIORITIZED. I
ALSO DON'T WANT TO HOLD IT
FUNDING BECAUSE AND IMPLEMENTED
LAW WAS SETTING ASIDE SOMETHING
ELSE THAT IT WAS READY TO GO.
AND I'M JUST TRYING TO RECONCILE
THIS. REMEMBER THE A QUESTION-
SO IF YOU TO ONE OUR PRE THAT I
THINK. THE PARTICULAR PROJECT WE
HAVE A VERY SMALL POOL TO
COMPARE THIS TO BECAUSE THAT
PARTICULAR PROJECT IS ONE OF
ONLY THREE THAT HAVE. RECEIVED
FUNDING IN RECENT. TIMES AND MY
UNDERSTANDING FROM TALKING TO
TEACH AXAPTA ABOUT THIS. RAN
INTO SOME PROBLEMS AT THE LOCAL
LEVEL AND RELATED TO. THE VALUE
OF THE CREDITS OR ANYTHING THERE
SO- AND YES IMPORTER THOSE THOSE
MONIES CAME BACK AND WE HAD TO
BE REPROGRAMMED. BUT IN ALL BUT-
THAT'S NOT A TYPICAL I THINK
WHAT WERE- ONE PIECE OUR
CONTACTS AND I UNDERSTAND. AND
ACKNOWLEDGE YOUR CONCERNS ABOUT
FOR STYLING MONEY AND LEAVING IT
THERE WHEN IT. IS ELSEWHERE. OR
WHAT WE'RE DOING IN PART IN THIS
BILL IS THAT THERE HAS BEEN FOR
A LONG TIME BEEN A FARMWORKER
CREDIT WHICH- IS. A VERY
VALUABLE FOR THE REASONS THAT
MISTER EVANS TALKED ABOUT AND.
AS WE'VE EXPANDED THE OVERALL
POOL. FOR A VARIETY OF REASONS
HAVE NOT. CORRESPONDINGLY THAT
FARMER GRAD SO. WE'RE WE'RE LESS
CREATING SOMETHING NEW AS
IMPLEMENTING THAT POLICY MORE
FULLY AND I THINK ONE OF THE
CHALLENGES HAS BEEN THAT FOR.
DEVELOPERS AND MISTER EVANS
COULD ADDRESSES WHEN YOU'RE
LOOKING AT A PROJECT AND YOU SEE
THAT THE CREDITS ARE ONLY GOING
TO BE AVAILABLE MAYBE EVERY
THREE YEARS WHEN THEY GET UP TO
THAT AMOUNT. YOU SORT OF START
PICKING DIFFERENT PROJECTS BUT
IF WE ARE ABLE TO PUT THIS MONEY
ASIDE HAVE IT BE ROBUST ENOUGH
UP TO TWENTY FIVE MILLION WE'RE
GOING TO SEE MORE UPTAKE AND
WE'RE GONNA GET BETTER PROJECTS
COMING THROUGH THE DOOR SO THAT
. ETHNOLOGY ALL YOUR CONCERNS I
THINK THAT IS. PART OF WHY WE
THINK THIS IS VERY VALUABLE
OKAY- THANK YOU I TRUST THAT
THAT THAT BACKGROUND AND
EXPERTISE AS WELL BECAUSE I WANT
THIS PROJECT TO BE SUCCESSFUL WE
DESPERATELY NEED THEM- HAPPY TO
GIVE IT A COURTESY VOTE TODAY AS
WELL- THE THING ONE. I THAT I
LIKE HERE A LOT IS THE
REQUIREMENT FREE CD TO WORK BY
TWENTY TWENTY SIX ON A MORE
COMPREHENSIVE STRATEGY. TO BE
ABLE TO ADDRESS THE FARM WORKER
HOUSING SHORTAGE THAT WE HAVE AS
WELL. I'M GLAD THAT'S IN HERE
AND I HOPE IS THIS MOVES FORWARD
I'LL BE WATCHING IT WILL BE
TALKING TO OTHER. AFFORDABLE
HOUSING- INTERESTS AS WELL
BECAUSE WE JUST DON'T. WE
HAVEN'T FUNDED LIKE TECH ENOUGH
MAYBE HAS MORE OPPORTUNITY IN
THIS YEAR'S BUDGET TO ALSO
INCREASE THE PINEY AND THEN THAT
ALLOWS AT THE FOR- ANY. ABILITY
FOR A SET ASIDE TO MAKE EVEN
MORE SENSE AND TEST THIS OUT I'M
NERVOUS ABOUT THE THREE YEAR
HOLD- WITHHOLDING- TO BE ABLE TO
RETURN IT. OR ANY UNUSED FUNDS
AS WELL. I'LL BE WATCHING THE
DEVELOPMENT OF THIS BILL AND I
REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR HARD WORK
ON THIS MYSTERY THIS THANK YOU
KNOW AND YOU KNOW I REALLY
APPRECIATE YOUR CONCERNS AS WELL
BECAUSE- YOU KNOW. THEY'RE VERY
REAL AND I THINK IS BRIAN HAD
MENTIONED THE FIVE PERCENT- IS
INTENDED TO BE A FLOOR RIGHT-
BUT THEN ALSO. TO YOUR POINT
MAINTAINING FLEXIBILITY I WANNA
SAY THE LEGISLATION EXPRESSLY
ALLOWS THE LEGISLATURE- TO AMEND
ANY AMOUNT AFTER THIS THE- IS
DONE. SO THANK YOU SHORT. AND I
WAS JUST RESPECT ASK NOT ABOUT
TURNOUT QUESTIONS GREAT AND I
THAT WILL TAKE THAT AS YOUR
CLOSING- I'M SUPPORT OF THE BILL
I WANT TO SEE IT GET THROUGH
COMMITTEE TODAY WE OBVIOUSLY
NEED MORE- FARMWORKER HOUSING I
KNOW MYSTERY THIS YOU'VE BEEN
SUCH A LEADER IN THE SPACE
REALLY APPRECIATE RAFIC SENIOR

NINETY FIVE FOR MR SANTIAGO-
GREAT OKAY.
TO THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR- AGAIN
IT'S LIKE I THINK THE COMMITTEE
STAFF FOR THEIR WORK ON THIS
BILL ENOUGH THAT I'LL BE
ACCEPTING THE AMENDMENTS AS
PROPOSED IN THE ANALYSIS IN THIS
BILL SENATE BILL TWO TWO THREE
FOUR A SEEKS TO CREATE STANDARDS
FOR LOCAL GOVERNMENTS TO APPROVE
POST ENTITLEMENT RESIDENTIAL
BUILDING PERMITS. NOW THESE POST
ENTITLEMENT BUILDING PERMITS
INCLUDE EVERYTHING THAT IS
NECESSARY PRIOR TO AND DURING.
THE BUILDING CONSTRUCTION
PROCESS THIS INCLUDES GRADING-
SOME DEMOLITION SPRINKLERS THREE
CLOSURES ADDRESS AT. TO BE CLEAR
THIS LEGISLATION ONLY AFFECTS
PERMITS THAT ARE ISSUED AFTER
AFTER A PROJECT HAS BEEN
APPROVED BY THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT
AGENCY AND AFTER ANY SEQUEL
REVIEW. YOU UNLIKE THE
PERMITTING THE PERMITS TO MINE
ACT AS WAS NOTED THE BILL
ANALYSIS WHICH REQUIRES PUBLIC
AGENCIES TO ACT FAIRLY AND
PROMPTLY ON APPLICATIONS FOR
DEVELOPMENT OPPOSE WILLS.
CURRENTLY THERE IS NO
STANDARDIZED PROCESS FOR THE
APPROVAL OF HOMEBUILDING PERMITS
AS A RESULT THE ABILITY FOR
LOCAL GOVERNMENTS TO RECEIVE
APPROVE AND EXECUTE HOMEBUILDING
PERMITS IN A TIMELY MATTER. VARY
FROM JURISDICTION TO
JURISDICTION AND IN SOME LOCAL
JURISDICTIONS MAY PROJECT BEEN
MONTHS OR EVEN YEARS WAITING FOR
THE APPROVAL AND EXECUTION OF
THESE BUILDING PERMITS- AND THIS
IS AFTER THE PROJECT ITSELF HAS
BEEN REVIEWED AND APPROVED.
THESE ADMINISTRATOR PERMITTING
DELAYS INCREASED PROJECT COSTS
AFFECT HOUSING AFFORDABILITY.
THEY SLOW OVERALL CRITICAL
HOUSING PRODUCTION PARTICULARLY-
AMID ARE WORSENING HOUSING
CRISIS. YOU KNOW AGAIN
ADMINISTRATIVE- THESE
ADMINISTRATIVE- SOME PERMITTING
DELAYS EXIST BECAUSE THERE ARE
NO CLEAR GUIDELINES OR STANDARDS
PROCESS AND SO THIS LEGISLATION
WOULD CREATE A PREDICTABLE AND
EFFICIENT PROCESS. FOR THE
APPROVAL AND EXECUTION OPPOSE
ENTITLEMENT PHASE HOMEBUILDING
PERMITS IN THREE WAYS FIRST
INFORMATION POSTING SECOND-
ESTABLISHING A DEEMED COMPLETE
TIME FRAME AND THIRD. BY- A
STAFF ASSIST OF REVIEW TIME
FRAME. YOU KNOW ALL THESE
PROVISIONS WILL GO A LONG WAY TO
REDUCE UNNECESSARY LOCAL
ADMINISTRATIVE DELAY WHEN
PROCESSING THESE PERSON TELL ME
HOMEBUILDING PERMITS- WITH US
HERE. THIS MORNING TO TESTIFY R.
CORY SMITH THE DEPUTY DIRECTOR
OF THE HOUSING ACION COALITION.
AS WELL AS K. CONLEY ARCHITECT
AND PRINCIPAL- AT ARCHITECTS FOR
A WHO CAN ADDRESS A TACKLE
QUESTIONS ABOUT THE BILL THEY
SHOULD. SO GOOD MORNING I CHAIR
MEMBERS CORY SMITH ON BEHALF OF
THE HOUSING ACTION COALITION. WE
ARE A MEMBER SUPPORTED NONPROFIT
THAT ADVOCATES FOR BUILDING MORE
HOMES FOR RESIDENTS AT ALL
INCOME LEVELS AND WE'RE PROUD TO
CO SPONSOR ASSEMBLY BILL TWO TWO
THREE FOUR. OVER THE LAST FEW
YEARS THE LEGISLATURE HAS PASSED
A NUMBER OF BILLS RELATED TO THE
ENTITLEMENT PROCESS WITH THE
HOPES THAT IT WOULDN'T INCREASE
HOUSING PRODUCTION AND
AFFORDABILITY ACROSS THE STATE.
HOWEVER I MEMBERS AND MANY OTHER
HOME BUILDERS ACROSS THE STATE
HAVE ALSO IDENTIFIED AN
OPPORTUNITY TO IMPROVE THE POST
ENTITLEMENT BUILDING PERMIT
ACQUISITION PROCESS. AB TWO TO
THREE FOUR WOULD CREATE A
FRAMEWORK FOR DEVELOPERS AND
LOCAL JURISDICTIONS TO PROCESS
RESIDENTIAL BUILDING PERMITS
MORE EFFICIENTLY AND COST
EFFECTIVELY. IN REALITY THERE
ARE NUMBER OF REASONS PERMITS TO
NOT GET REVIEWED IN A TIMELY
MANNER. FOR EXAMPLE MANY PROJECT
APPLICATIONS DO NOT SUPPORT
PROVIDE SUFFICIENT INFORMATION
THE CITY NEEDS TO ACCOMPLISH A
REVIEW. AND BY REQUIRING A
SIMPLE CHECK. CHECKS WILL NOTE
WHAT IS TO BE DONE. SOMETIMES IT
IS A STAFFING CAPACITY ISSUE AND
BY REQUIRING MODEL PERMITS
HIGHER QUALITY APPLICATIONS WILL
GET SUBMITTED. BECAUSE THE
PROJECT UNDERSTANDS HOW A CITY
WANTS TO RECEIVE THAT
INFORMATION. SOMETIMES AND THIS
IS WHERE. IT IS ACTUALLY A CITY
ACTING IN BAD FAITH IN TRYING TO
SLOW DOWN THE PRODUCTION OF NEW
HOUSING. REGARDLESS OF THE
REASON THE PERMITTING PROCESS
CAN UNNECESSARILY TAKE UP TO
THREE YEARS IN CERTAIN
SITUATIONS. AND CAN BE MONTHS
BEFORE AN APPLICATION IS EVEN
ACKNOWLEDGED BY LOCAL
JURISDICTION. BY REQUIRING
REASONABLE TIMELINES TO REVIEW
PROJECTS ARE NOT GOING TO WAIT
ENDLESSLY TO GET THEIR PERMITS
APPROVED. THIS BILL IS GOING TO
BE PARTICULARLY IMPACTFUL 41100%
SUBSIDIZED AFFORDABLE HOUSING
PROJECTS AS MANY OF YOU KNOW.
FINANCING 1100% SUBSIDIZED
AFFORDABLE HOUSING IS INCREDIBLY
DIFFICULT AND DUE TO THE COMPLEX
TAX SYSTEM MANY PROJECTS FACE A
VERY TIGHT TIME FRAME TO ACQUIRE
PERMITS IN ORDER TO SECURE. WE
BELIEVE THIS IS A COMMON SENSE
APPROACH TO CREATE A BETTER
PROCESS FOR PROJECT TEAMS CITIES
AND COMMUNITIES. SO WE CAN
HOPEFULLY SEE MORE HOUSING BUILT
ACROSS OUR STATE THANK YOU. AND

MINUTES GOOD MORNING SURE WICKS
MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE
CHRISLEY ON BEHALF OF THE
CALIFORNIA STATE ASSOCIATION OF
COUNTIES TODAY REGRETTABLY
WITHIN OPPOSITION POSITION
REALLY TO CORE ISSUES WITH THIS
BILL THERE'S THE PROCESS AND
THEN THERE'S THE TECHNOLOGY
PROVISION SO TALK A LITTLE BIT
ABOUT THE PROCESS. WE APPRECIATE
THE CONVERSATIONS THAT WE'VE HAD
SO FAR WITH THE AUTHOR'S OFFICE
THE BILL HAS MOVED A LOT IN THE
RIGHT DIRECTION I ALSO WANT TO
SAY TO THE SPONSORS I DO REALLY
APPRECIATE THE RECOGNITION THAT
SOMETIMES ABOUT THE QUALITY OF
THE APPLICATION IS THIS IS ABOUT
RESOURCE CONSTRAINTS OF LOCAL
JURISDICTIONS IT'S NOT ABOUT
LOCAL JURISDICTIONS ACTING IN
BAD FAITH AND SO WITH THAT SORT
OF RECOGNITION I THINK THAT
HELPS US HAVE A GOOD
CONVERSATION. ABOUT HOW WE CAN
IMPROVE THE PROCESS FOR
REVIEWING THESE I THINK ONE OF
THE ISSUES FOR US IS REALLY THE
EXPANSIVE NATURE OF WHAT THE
SUPPLIES TO YOU THIS ISN'T JUST
KIND OF THE THINGS GOING TO THE
PLANNING DEPARTMENT IT'S THE
OFFSITE IMPROVEMENTS IT'S OUR
PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT IT COULD
BE YOUR FIRE DISTRICT UTILITY.
PROVIDER THAT- IS OWNED BY THE
COUNTY OR THE CITY AND SO WE
WANT TO HAVE REALLY CLEAR SORT
OF BRIGHT LINES ABOUT WHAT IS
INCLUDED I THINK THERE'S SOME
CONFUSION IN THE CURRENT TEXT OF
THE BILL AS WE POINTED OUT IN
OUR LETTER WHAT'S IN AND WHAT'S
OUT BUT WE CERTAINLY APPRECIATE
THE OFF RAMP THAT WAS ADDED FOR
PARTICULARLY COMPLEX
APPLICATIONS THAT REALLY JUST
CAN'T BE REVIEWED IN THE TIME
FRAMES IN THE BILL. BUT WANT TO
CONTINUE WORKING ON TAT PIECE
ON THE TECHNOLOGY SIDE WE DO
HAVE SIGNIFICANT CONCERNS- WE'VE
CONSISTENTLY TOLD THE AUTHOR
THAT WOULD REALLY LIKE TO FOCUS
ON EITHER THE PROCESS OR THE
TECHNOLOGY BUT NOT BOTH WITHIN
ONE BILL THERE ARE REAL COST AND
AS THE ANALYSIS NOW NOTES THOSE
WON'T BE PAID BY THE STATE RIGHT
THIS IS GOING TO HAVE TO BE
PASSED ON TO APPLICANTS AND SO
WE'RE CONCERNED ABOUT THAT OST.
IF YOU LOOK AT THE RECENT
HOUSING DATA STRATEGY REPORT
FROM EACH CD YOUR OWN
ADMINISTRATION IS TELLING YOU
THAT THIS IS A VERY COSTLY
UNDERTAKING TO MOVE TO AN
AUTOMATED ONLINE. ELECTRONIC
PERMITTING SYSTEM IS DOLLARS OF
AVERAGE. WHERE DO IT AND IT'S
NOT JUST THE COST OF. IT UP IT'S
THE- OF MAINTAINING IT LONG TERM
SO WE THINK THAT'S A SEPARATE
CONVERSATION WE THINK WE SHOULD
REALLY HAVE STATE RESOURCES ON
THE TABLE FOR THAT. GIVEN THE
FISCAL SITUATION THE STATE IS AS
COMPARED TO THE LOCAL
JURISDICTIONS SO. CONTINUE TO
HOPE THAT THAT PEACE CAN COME
OUT OF THE BILL AND WE CAN
CONTINUE TO HAVE A GOOD
CONVERSATION ABOUT IMPROVING THE
PROCESS. IN A REASONABLE WAY BUT
FOR THOSE REASONS WE ARE POST
TODAY AND APPRECIATE YOUR TIME.

GOOD MORNING MADAM CHAIR GOOD
MORNING THIS RENT. TODAY I RISE
TO PRESENT A. B. SIXTEEN EIGHTY
FIVE WHICH IS SPONSORED BY THE
LOS ANGELES HOMELESS SERVICES
THIRTY HOUSING CALIFORNIA IN
MANY ON HOUSE PERSONS THIS BILL
AIMS TO REMOVE BARRIERS TO
EXITING HOMELESSNESS FOR PEOPLE
LIVING IN THEIR VEHICLES BY
INCREASING OPTIONS FOR TICKET
FORGIVENESS. IN L. A. COUNTY
ALONE OF THE SIXTY SIX THOUSAND
PEOPLE EXPERIENCING HOMELESS ON
ANY GIVEN NIGHT NEARLY NINETEEN
THOUSAND OF THOSE PEOPLE ARE
LIVING IN VEHICLES FOR MANY THIS
VEHICLE IS THE LAST VESTIGE OF
STABILITY AND THE ONLY THING
KEEPING THEM FROM BEING DIRECTLY
ON THE SIDEWALK THEIR ONLY
PROTECTION FROM THE ELEMENTS.
AND IS THE ONLY PLACE THEY HAVE
TO SAFELY STORE THEIR BELONGINGS
VEHICLES ALSO A LIFELINE TO EXIT
HOMELESSNESS THE ABILITY OF THE
VEHICLE CAN HELP YOU GET A JOB
ACCESS HEALTH CARE ME WITH THE
CASE MANAGER. GOT A JOB.
INTERVIEWS AND APPLY FOR MUCH
NEEDED BENEFITS IN MANY OF OUR
NEIGHBORS LIVING IN THEIR
VEHICLES ARE AT RISK OF LOSING
THAT VEHICLE SIMPLY BECAUSE
THEIR PARKING TICKETS THEY
CANNOT AFFORD TO PAY IN SOME
CASES PEOPLE EXPERIENCING
HOMELESSNESS ARE SCRAPING MONEY
TOGETHER THE THEY COULD BE USING
TO GET HOUSE TO PAY THESE
TICKETS OFF OR TURNING TO
ILLICIT ACTIVITIES TO HELP THEM
PAY THOSE TICKETS. DOESN'T MAKE
SENSE THAT WE ARE PAYING FOR
PROGRAMS TO RE HOUSE PEOPLE ON
THE STREETS WITH ONE HAND AND
THEN. THEM FOR BEING. THE OTHER
HAND THIS BILL LOOKS TO BUILD ON
THE SUCCESS OF PROGRAMS IN
CITIES WERE TICKET FORGIVENESS
PROGRAMS ARE ALREADY WORKING TO
HELP ADDRESS THIS ISSUE. AB
SIXTEEN EIGHTY FIVE WOULD ASK
ALL OF OUR CITIES TO CREATE
TICKET FORGIVENESS PROGRAMS FOR
PEOPLE EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS
TO ENSURE THAT WE ARE GIVING
PEOPLE LIVING IN THEIR VEHICLES
A PATHWAY TO STABILITY. INSTEAD
OF PUSHING PEOPLE DEEPER INTO
CRISIS AND MAKING IT HARDER FOR
THEM TO BECOME HOUSE. BUT ALSO
LIKE TO MENTION THAT THIS
PROGRAM- IS NOT THE SAME AS LOST
REVENUE THE VAST MAJORITY OF ON
HOUSE PEOPLE FACING THESE FINES
DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY TO PAY
THEM. THERE'S NO RETURN ON
INVESTMENT FOR LOCAL GOVERNMENT
FROM MUNICIPALITIES EVEN IF THEY
SEIZE AND SELL THE CARS IN FACT
IT COST THE GOVERNMENT. MORE
TRYING TO COLLECT THESE FINES
AND FEES THAN THEY ACTUALLY
RECEIVE. THIS IS HARM REDUCTION
COMPASSIONATE. IT'S GOOD
GOVERNANCE A. B. SIXTEEN EIGHTY
FIVE ALSO HAS A LIMIT IS FIFTEEN
HUNDRED DOLLARS IN FINES.
ADDITIONALLY A. B. SIXTEEN
EIGHTY FIVE RELIES ON VERIFIED
ENROLLMENT IN EXISTING HOME
SERVICE PROGRAMS. MEANING THAT
IN ORDER TO RECEIVE THIS BENEFIT
YOU HAVE TO HAVE CONTACT WITH
THE HOMELESS SERVICE PROVIDER.

OF THE PROTEST PROPOSED IN THE

PROBLEM BEING WITH THE PARKING
TICKET ISSUED AT THE AUTHOR
STATED THE AGENCY WOULD NEED TO
DEDICATE TIME RESOURCES AND
MANPOWER TO THE TASK LIKE THAT
YOU CAN FIND TO DO ONLY TO
DISCOVER THAT THE END
INDIVIDUALS QUALIFIED UNDER

MORE STREAMLINED AND EFFECTIVE
APPROACH WOULD BE TO REQUIRE

BILL- IN THE BILL THIS WEEK THAT
THE BILL SEEKS TO ASSIST OR
SIMPLY NOT TAKEN IN THE FIRST
PLACE OUR CONCERNS OF MAKING

ABOUT AFFORDABLE HOUSING BUT-
PREVENTING HOMELESSNESS-
CERTAINLY HAS TO BE PART OF IT
NOW CERTAINLY SOME PEOPLE WOULD
SAY. USING YOUR CAR OR AN RV- IS

FELL INTO THE STREETS- AND
MENTAL. ILLNESS STARTED TO CREEP
IN AND THE STRUGGLE TO GET UP
OFF THE STREETS IS INCREDIBLY
IMMENSE- AND SO. KEEPING PEOPLE
FROM FALLING INTO HOMELESSNESS
ALBEIT ARGUING THAT LIVING IN
YOUR CAR IS DEFINITELY A FORM OF
BEING ON HOUSING- IS OMETHING
WE HAVE TO DO WE CAN'T
CRIMINALIZE WILL PENALIZE OUR
WAY OUT OF HOMELESSNESS OR

OKAY WE'LL START WITH TWENTY
NINETY SEVEN- GOOD MORNING URN
MEMBERS- THIS IS A BILL THAT
PASSED WITH BIPARTISAN SUPPORT
OUT OF THIS COMMITTEE LAST YEAR
THIS IS A BILL THAT WOULD
BASICALLY ALLOW FOR DEVELOPERS
TO RIGHT SIZE THE AMOUNT OF
PARKING THAT THEY NEED FOR THEIR
PROJECT AS LONG AS THE BILL THE
PROJECT IS WITHIN A HALF A MILE
OF A TRAIN STOP OR OTHER HIGH
QUALITY TRANSIT. WE PROVIDE MORE
SPACES FOR CARS IN THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA AND WE DO BEDS FOR
HUMAN BEINGS WHO LIVE HERE AND
IT MANY TIMES ESPECIALLY IN
THESE URBAN AREAS ARE CLOSE TO
TRANSIT- WE HAVE OF THE PLETHORA
OF PARKING SPACES- WE DO SO MUCH
PARKING THAT'S UNDER USER AND
USE IT ALL THAT CONTINUING TO
REQUIRE DEVELOPERS TO ADD A
PRIEST OF SUBSCRIBED AMOUNT OF
PARKING REGARDLESS OF THE NEEDS
OF THEIR RESIDENTS DOESN'T MAKE
ECONOMIC SENSE IT DOESN'T MAKE
PUBLIC POLICY SENSE IT'S NOT
SUSTAINABLE. AND THE DEVELOPERS
KNOW HOW MUCH PARKING THAT THEY
NEED SAN DIEGO A FEW YEARS AGO
INSTITUTED THIS POLICY IN THEIR
DOWNTOWN CORE AND YOU KNOW WHAT
PEOPLE THOUGHT OF PARKING THEY
STILL BILL PARKING BUT THEY BOTH
THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF PARKING AND
IT ALLOWS THEM TO OFFER
RESIDENTIAL UNITS WITH MAYBE ONE
SPACE INSIDE OF TWO OR TANDEM
PARKING HAS SINCE- THERE
RESIDENTS INTO GIVEN THE CHOICE-OF PAYING A LITTLE BIT LESS A
MONTH TO ACCOMMODATE THEIR
PARTICULAR NEEDS. A ARM. OF THE
BILL HAS GAINED A LOT OF SUPPORT
THROUGHOUT THE STATE IT'S
SPONSORED BY CALIFORNIA YIMBY
SPUR ABUNDANT HOUSING LA THE
COUNCIL OF INFILL BOULDER
BOULDER'S. AND SUPPORTED BY THE
CALIFORNIA BUILDING INDUSTRY
ASSOCIATION THE SILICON VALLEY
LEADERSHIP GROUP THE CITY OF SAN
DIEGO THE LA CHAMBER OF
COMMERCE. THE SIERRA CLUB
CALIFORNIA THE CALIFORNIA
APARTMENT ASSOCIATION AND
TRANSFORM. AND I WANT TO SAY
THAT WHEN YOU GET ENVIRONMENTAL
GROUPS AND THE CHAMBER OF
COMMERCE TOGETHER. MAYBE IT'S A
IT'S GOOD POLICY. TESTIFYING IN
SUPPORT THIS MORNING- COLIN
PARENT COUNCIL MEMBER WITH THE
CITY OF LA MESA. AND MIA KANG
SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT WITH THE
RELATE WITH RELATED CALIFORNIA
AND DIRECTOR OF THE COUNCIL OF
INFILL BUILDERS. I APPRECIATE
YOUR RESPECTFUL YOUR THOUGHTFUL
CONSIDERATION THANK YOU. THANK
YOU CHECK TWO MINUTES. MORNING
MY NAME IS COLIN PARENT I'M ON
THE CITY COUNCIL OF WILL MESA
WHICH IS ABOUT TEN MILES EAST OF
DOWNTOWN SAN DIEGO- I'M ALSO THE
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR AND GENERAL
COUNSEL WITH THE NONPROFIT
CALLED CIRCULATE SAN DIEGO- HERE
TESTIFYING FOR THE BUILDING
ASSEMBLY MEMBER FOR THE
INVITATION AND- JUST WANT TO
MAKE A THREE KEY POINTS ABOUT
THIS BILL. SO FIRST YOU KNOW
IT'S THE CEILING SO YOU KNOW
WE'RE WE'RE SIXTY THOUSAND
PEOPLE VERY SUBURBAN- IN A SMALL
TOWN- BUT YOU KNOW WE'VE GOT A
GREAT ACCESSORY DWELLING UNIT
ORDINANCE VERY PERMISSIVE-
YOU'RE VERY PRO HOUSING WE'VE
GOT- IMPLEMENTATION OF STATE
DENSITY BONUS LAW. REALLY GOOD
FAITH IMPLEMENTATION OF THAT AND
THERE'S NO WAY WE WOULD HAVE
BEEN ABLE TO DO ANY OF THESE
ORDINANCES LOCALLY IF THE STATE
HADN'T ACTED FIRST THE JUST THE
POLITICS ARE THERE FOR IT AND I
THINK FOR THOSE OF YOU WILL WHO
SERVED IN LOCAL GOVERNMENT-
ESPECIALLY OUTSIDE OF A LARGE
CITY I THINK WE'LL WILL
UNDERSTAND WHY AND SO THAT'S WHY
IT'S A BIG PART OF WHY- WE
REALLY WANT TO SEE SOME ACTION
FROM THE LEGISLATURE ON THIS.
BECAUSE I'M CONFIDENT YOU'RE
GOING TO SEE GOOD FAITH
IMPLEMENTATION OF LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS AS LONG AS OTHER
FOLKS- AS LONG AS THE
LEGISLATURE RACKS IN SECOND- YOU
KNOW JUST BECAUSE THERE ARE
PARKING MINIMUMS DOESN'T MEAN
THAT PEOPLE DON'T BILL TWENTY
PARKING SO IN THE CITY OF SAN
DIEGO WHERE THERE HAVE BEEN-
VERY SIMILAR POLICY THAT THAT-
ASSEMBLY MEMBER WORD. SUPPORT
AND GET ACROSS ON PEOPLE ARE
STILL BUILDING PARKING WHEN THEY
WHEN THEY NEED TO BUT THEY'RE
ALSO BUILDING AN APPROPRIATE
AMOUNT OF PARKING THAT THEY
THINK IS NECESSARY TO SERVE THE
EVOLVING- MARKET PLACE AS
OPPOSED TO ASSUMING EVERYONE
NEEDS THE EXACT SAME AMOUNT OF
PARKING IN MY CITY IN LA MESA
LOTS OF PEOPLE ARE MOVING IN
THERE TO START A FAMILIES BUY
HOMES FOR THE FIRST TIME. A LOT
OF THESE FOLKS DON'T HAVE CARS
THERE AND THEY ARE ACTUALLY
HAVING THEIR YOU'RE CHOOSING NOT
TO HAVE CARS ARE HAVING FEWER
CARS IN YOUR HOUSEHOLD TO BE
ABLE TO AFFORD THEIR OVERALL
HOUSEHOLD EXPENSES- INA BILL
LIKE IN THIS BILL WILL HELP-
ALLOW FOR MORE THOSE PRODUCTS TO
BE ON CREATED TO SERVE THAT
CHANGING MARKET AND THEN
FINALLY- MY ORGANIZATION
CIRCULATE SAN DIEGO PUBLISHER-
ABOUT A WEEK. A HALF AGO-
SHOWING THAT IN THE CITY OF SAN
DIEGO- EVEN AFTER PARKING
REFORM- WAS- ENACTED DENSITY
BONUS PRODUCTION ACTUALLY. WENT
UP ACTUALLY WENT UP A LOT. IN
TWENTY TWENTY- 44% OF THE UNITS
ENTITLED. IN THE CITY SAN DIEGO
USE THAT- DENSITY BONUS PROGRAM.
AND IT YEAH AND THE PARKING
REFORM THAT HAD HAPPENED A FEW
YEARS REALLY DIDN'T UNDERMINE
THE PRODUCTION THAT SO WE'RE
STILL SEEING GREAT USES OF THAT
PROGRAM. AND PARKING REFORM- CAN
ABSOLUTELY WORK WELL WITH. AND
SUPPORT- AFFORDABLE HOUSING
PRODUCTION IN THE USE OF DENSITY
BONUS. SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR
TIME AND RESPECTFULLY REQUEST OF
THE SUPPORT THIS BILL. GOOD
MORNING AMIR KHAN A WITH RELATED
CALIFORNIA AND OF THE COUNCIL OF
INFILL BUILDERS I'VE BEEN IN
AFFORDABLE HOUSING DEVELOPER FOR
THE LAST. TWENTY FIVE YEARS
BUILDING. UP AND DOWN THE STATE
IN RURAL URBAN AND SUBURBAN
COMMUNITIES IN THE NUMBER ONE
THING THAT'S COMMON IN ALL OF
THE DEVELOPMENTS I'VE EVER
WORKED ON IS. NEEDING TO REDUCE
THE PARKING REQUIREMENT FOR
EVERY SINGLE DEVELOPMENT. OF
PRIMARILY BECAUSE THE ONE SIZE
FITS ALL REQUIREMENTS DON'T
REFLECT TODAY'S SOCIETY
ESPECIALLY RENTERS-
INTERESTINGLY ENOUGH. ACCORDING
TO THE LAST CENSUS. OVER 52% OF
CALIFORNIA RENTERS OWN ZERO OR
ONE CAR. AND SO WE'RE REALLY
BUILDING WERE THESE REQUIREMENTS
ARE SORT OF SET IN PLACE OF BACK
WHEN FRANKLY EVERYONE OWNED
MULTIPLE CARS. AND YET WE'RE
SEEING THIS ABSOLUTE CHANGE AND
PART OF IT IS THE COST OF
HOUSING IS SO EXPENSIVE PEOPLE
ARE FORGOING THE COST OF CARS.
BUT ALSO BECAUSE WE'VE WALKABLE
COMMUNITIES AND WE HAVE TRANSIT
AND WE HAVE THINGS LIKE RIDE
CHER- ACCORDING TO THE NUMBER OF
US STUDIES I'VE BEEN READING
RECENTLY. MILLENNIALS ARE
ACTUALLY VALUE ACCESS TO A CAR
RATHER THAN OWNING THEIR OWN
VEHICLE. SO YET WE STILL HAVE
THESE FRANKLY IN SOME CASES-ARCANE PARKING REQUIREMENTS IN
ONE CASE I'VE HAD TO REDUCE
PARKING. FOR PARKING SPACES PER
UNIT DOWN TO ONE OR LESS. AND SO
THE BILL LIKE THIS IS A STRAIGHT
FORWARD IN MY OPINION
COMMONSENSE WAY TO BE
TRANSPARENT AND COULD PROVIDE
CLARITY TO THE DEVELOPMENT
MARKET. IT'S ALSO IT IN WHILE
FOR COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS A MIXED
USE BUILDINGS TO ALSO TAKE
ADVANTAGE. OF A PARKING THAT IS
RIGHT SIZED FOR THEIR SITES. AND
FOR THEIR BUILDINGS I THINK IT
WILL UNLEASH A LOT OF NEW
DEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL IN ALL THE
RIGHT PLACES. IN THE STATE NEEDS
LOVI EMPTY AREAS AND AREAS
AROUND TRANSIT. AND IT WILL
ABSOLUTELY REDUCE THE COST OF
HOUSING DEVELOPMENT WHICH WILL
REDUCE THE COST OF HOUSING FOR
THE END USER. AND AS WE ALL KNOW
I THINK WHEN YOU WHEN YOU READ
A- AN APARTMENT THAT HAS A
PARKING SPACE IT COSTS MORE.
MEANING APARTMENT THAT DOESN'T
HAVE A PARKING SPACE. AND SO IT
WILL TRANSLATE INTO MORE HOUSING
FOR THE ELIQUIS AND MORE.
PRODUCTION IN MY AND I STRONGLY

MADAM CHAIR MEMBERS JASON RILEY
CALIFORNIA CITIES I WAS REALLY
APPRECIATE WHAT THE SOMEONE
TRYING TO DO HERE THE BILL
UNFORTUNATELY JUST RESPECTFULLY
DISAGREE WITH THE APPROACH AND
WE HAVE THREE PRIMARY- ISSUES
WITH THE BILL ONE- YOU KNOW
THERE'S NO GUARANTEE THAT THERE
THE COST SAVINGS ACTUALLY PASSED
ON TO THE RENTER OR HOMEOWNER
I'M RELYING ON FOR PROFIT
BUSINESS TO FOREGO PROFIT IN
ORDER TO LOWER THE COST OF THE
PRODUCT I'M WORDS CAPITAL THAT
APPROACH- NUMBER TWO- YOU KNOW.
THE ALLOWING A TRANSIT AGENCY OR
A DEVELOPER TO DETERMINE-
PARKING REQUIREMENT SEEMS A BIT.
ODD WHEN WE HAVE LOCALLY ELECTED
OFFICIALS ON THAT ACCOUNTABLE TO
THE VOTERS WHO WHO ARE
TRADITIONALLY IN CHARGE. OF THIS
PARKING STANDARDS IF THERE NEEDS
TO BE REFORMED. I WITH OUR
CITIES GO ABOUT- INCEPTION IS
WORKING REQUIREMENTS WERE
CERTAINLY OPEN TO IT BUT JUST
ALLOWING THOSE FOLKS TO DO IT
UNILATERALLY- WE CERTAINLY
OBJECT TO IT- AND THEN FINALLY
WE DO HAVE CONCERNS. ABOUT THE
MEASURES IMPACT AND DENSITY
BONUS LAW ON THAT STATE LAWS
VERY EFFECTIVE IN GETTING YOU
KNOW AFFORDABLE UNITS BUILT-
BECAUSE CITIES HAVE TO GIVE UP
CERTAIN- YOU KNOW. CONCESSIONS
AND WAIVERS I'M TO DEVELOPERS IN
ORDER TO GET AFFORDABLE HOUSING
THAT'S THE KEYMANDATE
AFFORDABLE HOUSING. IF WE ARE
GOING TO PROVIDE RELIEF FROM
PARKING REQUIREMENTS FOR
EXAMPLE- FOR THOSE REASONS WE
RESPECTFULLY OPPOSE THIS
MEASURE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH AND
ANYONE ELSE LIKE TO ADD ON HERE
IN OPPOSITION NAME ORGANIZATION
PLEASE. SYMPATHY ON BEHALF OF
WESTERN CENTER ON LAW AND
POVERTY WHILE WE ARE PREACHING
OF THE GOLD ON TEN OF THE BILL
WE HAVE SOME ISSUES WITH THE

WORKING VERY COLLABORATIVELY

ISSUES AND LOOK FOR TO THE
CONVERSATION. THANK YOU. THANK

CALIFORNIA IN OPPOSITION. WIRED
ONE SIXTY FOUR. GOOD AFTERNOON
YOU'RE A ROCK ON BEHALF OF THE
TOWN OF TRUCKEE WE ARE OPPOSED
TO MATHEMATICS AND THEN THE
OPPOSED FROM THE- AYRTON COUNTY
MEMBERS OF MY- CITY. FIVE ONE
EIGHTY FOUR. HI THIS IS A IDEA
ABOUT THIS THING WITH LITTLE
BOOK CALIFORNIA AND LOS ANGELES
IN STRONG OPPOSITION TO THE BILL
THANKS. LINE. ONE EIGHTY SEVEN.
WHY ONE EIGHTY SEVEN NO ONE IS
NOW OPEN. HI I'M SO HIGH I'M
CALLING AND I'M SUPPORT ON
BEHALF OF REDWOOD CITY I WAS
TRYING TO GET INTO EARLIER AND
IT WOULDN'T WITH NAMES I
APOLOGIZE. AND ONCE AGAIN FOR
THOSE WHO WISH TO SPEAK IN
OPPOSITION PLEASE PRESS ONE ONE
ZERO. THERE IS NO ONE ELSE TO
SIGNAL THEY WISH TO SPEAK. THANK
YOU VERY MUCH WE'LL BRING IT
BACK HERE TO COMMITTEE MEMBERS
MISTER WARD. YOU HAVE TO THINK
ABOUT YOUR WANT TO THANK THE
AUTHOR FOR INTRODUCING THIS BILL
AS WE STATED LAST YEAR ON BOTH
IN COMMITTEE ON IN THE FALL ON
THE FLOOR I'M VERY GRATEFUL FOR
YOUR LEADERSHIP TAKE THE STATE
WHY WE HAVE. BEEN ONE OF THE
CITIES THAT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO
LEAD THIS CHARGE- IN THE CITY OF
SAN DIEGO- I THINK THE EVIDENCE
IS RIGHT THERE THAT WE ARE ABLE
TO PRODUCE. LOWER RENT HOUSING
AND LOWER UP FOR SALE PRODUCT AS
WELL BY REDUCING THIS COUPLED
COSTS- AND REALLY ALLOWING THE
MARKET TO BE ABLE TO DECIDE- AND
I WANT TO THANK MY FRIEND AND
COLLEAGUE- FROM THE SAN DIEGO AS
WELL FOR HIS ADVOCACY ON A
NUMBER OF SOLUTIONS. I WONDER IF
YOU WANT TO COMMENT AS WELL IF
YOU SAW ANY YOU'VE ALSO BEEN- AN
INCREDIBLY HELPFUL AND DENSITY
BONUS LAW- AND ANY- CHALLENGE
THEIR- ACCORDING TO THE
OPPOSITION. YES YEAH THANKS FOR
ASKING SO THERE WAS A CONCERN
YOU KNOW REYES- THE LAST TIME
THIS WAS A BROUGHT UP ABOUT-
UNDERMINING DENSITY BONUS LAW
BECAUSE ONE OF THE BENEFITS OF
DENSITY BONUSES YOU CAN GET OUT
OF SOME PARKING RESTRICTIONS.
AND I WAS ACTUALLY WHAT I WAS
REFERENCING EARLIER REPORT THAT
CIRCULATE PUT OUT- LAST WEEK
SHOWED THAT AFTER SAN DIEGO
ADOPTED THEIR PARKING REFORM IS
VERY SIMILAR TO WHAT'S BEING
PROPOSED HERE- DENSITY BONUS
ACTUALLY DIDN'T GET UNDER MY
ACTUALLY ACTUALLY GREW A LOT.
AND IN TWENTY TWENTY- IT IT GREW
SO MUCH THAT WAS 44% OF THE
UNITS PRODUCED IN THE CITY OF
SAN DIEGO USE DENSITY BONUS EVEN
AFTER THIS REFORM SO THESE
THINGS WHICH IS ASTONISHING IT'S
GREAT I MEAN PART BROUGH FOR
DENSITY BONUS BUT ALSO- THE
PARKING REFORM- DIDN'T DIDN'T
IMPACT THAT OFF- SO. I THINK
WE'LL HOPEFULLY THAT CAN GIVE
SOME COMFORT TO THE TO THE FOLKS
WHO EXPRESSED THE CONCERN THAT
THE OTHER SEPARATIST THANK YOU
WILL CONTINUE RUNS HERE ARE
PROUD TO BE A CO AUTHOR AT THE
AUTHOR WOULD ACCEPT IT. AND
HAPPY TO MOVE THE BILL TODAY.
THE YOU THINK WITH THE MOST.
SECONDS FOR. OF ANY. QUESTIONS
OR COMMENTS. MISTER SARATOGA.
AGAIN THE SAME SAME ISSUES I
HAVE. WITH ALL THIS WHEN YOU.
ARE WORKING ARE WHEN YOU'RE DOWN
IN SAN DIEGO- THESE. THESE
SOLUTIONS WERE GREAT THERE. THEY
WERE GREAT IN LA THEY WERE GOOD
WHERE PEOPLE ARE ACTUALLY LIVING
PRETTY CLOSE TO WHERE THEY WORK-
YOU GO TO A DISTRICT LIKE MINE.
61% OF THE PEOPLE COMMUTE. SIXTY
FIVE MILES TO WORK. AND WHEN YOU
DRIVE AROUND- IN BELIEVE ME IF
WE SAID TO DEVELOPMENT HEY. YOU
GUYS DECIDE HOW MUCH PARKING YOU
NEED. ADOBE IS MINIMIZED AS
POSSIBLE. AND- AND THEN THE
PROBLEM IS. THE VEHICLES ARE
MINIMIZED AND THEN SO WE HAVE
PARKING SPILLING OUT INTO OTHER
NEIGHBORHOODS- WALL TO WALL CARS
ON THE STREETS AND IN THOSE
CREATE OTHER HAZARDS THEY CREATE
HAZARDS FOR. PEOPLE THAT ARE
WALKING DOWN THE SIDEWALK AND
TRYING TO CROSS AS THEY GET AND
SO WE HOW WE WIND UP WITH SAFETY
HAZARDS OUT THERE FOR THAT SO
AGAIN THIS WORKS IN THOSE AREAS
THAT WE WOULD TAYLOR SOME OF
THESE SOLUTIONS TO URBAN AREAS-
AND ALLOW THE FLEXIBILITY FOR
OTHER AREAS TO DECIDE WHAT IS
WORKING FOR THEM I'M FAMILIAR
WITH THE CITY OF LA MESA MY
COUSINS LIVE THERE- AND IT
ISN'T- THERE ARE AREAS THERE
WHERE IT. WOULDN'T WORK AND YOU
WIND UP HAVING IMPACTS TO EVERY
BODY- INCLUDING- YOU KNOW WHEN
PEOPLE'S. HOUSING VALUES WHAT IF
YOU LIVE IN THE MIDDLE OF A AREA
WHERE IT'S JUST HEAVILY IMPACTED
BY PARKING ALL OVER THE LOOK AT
LOYOLA MARYMOUNT IN THE
NEIGHBORHOOD AROUND THAT IT
AFFECTS OUR HOUSING VALUES. AND
SO PEOPLE ARE VERY CONCERNED
ABOUT THAT PEOPLE MY DISTRICT
ARE EXTREMELY CONCERNED ABOUT
THAT I THINK IT NEEDS TO BE LEFT
UP TO OUR COMMUNITIES TO DO WHAT
WORKS FORM BECAUSE BELIEVE ME IF
WE HAVE ALL PARKING LOT THE-
THOSEINTO SOMETHING A TAXES.
THEN IT IS A PARKING LOT SO
THEY'RE NOT GOING TO- NET. BUILD
MORE PARKING THAN THEY NEED. BUT
LIKE I SAID SAN DIEGO WORKS. OUT
IN OUR AREA DOESN'T WORK AT ALL.
SO I WON'T BE ABLE TO SUPPORT IT
BECAUSE OF THAT IF IT WERE
NARROWLY TAILORED TO URBAN AREAS
I'D BE ALL OVER IT THANKS. MR
GABRIEL THANK YOU MATTER CHECK A
SIMILAR RESPECTFULLY DISAGREE
WITH MY COLLEAGUE OVER THERE-
YOU KNOW PARKING IS AN AMENITY
THAT CONSUMERS WANT AND IT'S
SOMETHING THAT THEY'LL LOOK AT
WHEN THEY'RE DECIDING WHERE TO
BUY WORD AROUND WHERE THEY WANT
TO LAUGH AND SO I GUESS I JUST
HAVE A LITTLE BIT MORE FAITH. IN
THE PRIVATE MARKET TO FIND THE
APPROPRIATE BALANCE OF SUPPLY
DEMAND OF PARKING AND SO I THINK
WHAT WE'RE DOING HERE IS
STOPPING LOCAL GOVERNMENTS. FROM
REGULATING THOSE PRIVATE
ENTITIES TO COME TO THE OPTIMAL
SOLUTION FROM A SOCIETAL
PERSPECTIVE SO I'M HAPPY TO
SUPPORT THE BILL TODAY- AND
APPRECIATE THE OTHER BRING
AFFORD. THANK YOU ANYONE ELSE
WANT TO SPEAK OUT IN SUPPORT OF
AB TWENTY NINETY SEVEN OR
QUESTIONS FOR THE AUTHOR. OKAY
WITH THAT YOU CAN CLOSE THANK
YOU AND I APPRECIATE THE ROBUST
DISCUSSION I CERTAINLY
APPRECIATE THE CONCERNS I WOULD
JUST SAY THAT. YOU KNOW RIGHT
NOW WITH LIMITED RESOURCES
PARTICULARLY TO BUILD HOUSING
THAT. WE HAVE TO MAKE A CHOICE
OF WHAT WE'RE PRIORITIZING. AND
THERE ARE SO MANY BENEFITS TO
ALLOWING THESE AREAS THAT BY THE
WAY ARE NOT ALL OVER CITIES
THERE RIGHT NEXT TO HIGH QUALITY
TRANSIT. TO BECOME A MORE
WALKABLE AREAS AND TO OFFER A
DIFFERENT KIND OF PRODUCT AND-
AS WE SAW. WE HAVE ACTUAL
EVIDENCE OF WHAT HAPPENS IN THE
PRICE OF HOUSING DOES GO DOWN
AND THEY DO OFFER THOSE UNITS
WITH SOME FLEXIBILITY FOR PEOPLE
WHO. WANT TO USE THAT TRANSIT.
AS THEIR PRIMARY MEANS OF
GETTING AROUND. AND I WOULD ALSO
SAY THAT CITIES HAVE A LOT OF
TOOLS AT THEIR DISPOSAL TO ALSO
HELP MITIGATE ANY IMPACTS. MY
CITY BILL TO MUNICIPAL PARKING
LOTS IN THEIR DOWNTOWN WHICH
TOOK THE BURDEN OFF OF ALL THE
MOM AND POP SHOPS TO PROVIDE
THEIR OWN PARKING. AND IT BECAME
A REVENUE GENERATOR FOR THE CITY
AS WELL WE ALSO CAN RUN BUS.
THAT HELP WITH THESE AND WE'RE
TRYING TO ENCOURAGE CITIES TO DO
IS TO. TO THINK OF THESE OTHER
SOLUTIONS. THOUGH IT DOES BUILD
SUSTAINABILITY. AS WELL AS BUILD
THE ALLOWANCE TO BUILD HOUSING.
AND SO MANY OF OUR CODES ARE
STUCK IN THE PAST AND TAKE WAY
TOO LONG TO CHANGE. AND THIS IS
A PLACE GIVEN THE- THE CRISIS
THAT WE HAVE. BOTH THE FOR
CLIMATE. AND FOR HOUSING WITH
THE CITY WITH THE STATE DOES
HAVE A VESTED INTEREST IN TAKING
A LEAD. SO I DO APPRECIATE THE
SUPPORT OF MY COLLEAGUES TODAY
WE UNDERSTAND THE CONCERNS AND
AS SOMEONE WHO COMES FROM LOCAL
pHAVE THE TOOLS ALSO TO. MITIGATE
ANY IMPACTS. THANK YOU. THANK
YOU I MISS FRIEDMAN I KNOW
YOU'VE WORKED ON THIS ISSUE FOR
QUITE SOME TIME I AM. VERY
APPRECIATIVE OF YOUR WORK AND
GLAD YOU'RE CONTINUING TO DO
THAT I'M GOING TO
ENTHUSIASTICALLY SUPPORT THE
BILL TODAY AND I THINK IT
ADDRESSES TWO OF OUR BIGGEST
CHALLENGES. INCREASING HOUSING
SUPPLY AND SLOWING CLIMATE
CHANGE AND I VIEW AND I KNOW YOU
DO THESE ISSUES IS VERY-
CONNECTED- WE MUST ACT. URGENTLY
URGENTLY AND SWIFTLY AND WITH
THAT I'M HAPPY TO SUPPORT THE
BILL AS FOR ROLL CALL PLEASE.
MOTION IS TO PASS TO THE
ASSEMBLY COMEDIAN APPROPRIATIONS
WEEKS I. DON'T SEE ORIGINAL
CARILLO. GABRIEL GABRIEL I.
KALRA HI KALRA AYE KILEY
QUIRK-SILVA. QUIRK-SILVA A WARD
WHAT HI. HAS FIVE OH TO W. WOULD
OPEN. I MISS FRIEDMAN YOUR UP
AGAIN HERE ON AB NINETEEN THIRTY
THREE. THANK YOU I AM PLEASED TO
PRESENT AB NINETEEN THIRTY THREE
A BILL TO EXPAND THE PROPERTY
TAX WELFARE EXEMPTION TO
ELIGIBLE NONPROFIT CORPORATIONS
THAT'S ALL OF THAT CELL
AFFORDABLE HOUSING UNITS TO LOW
INCOME PEOPLE. THIS IS A TAX
CREDIT THAT ALLOWS FOR THE SAME
NONPROFIT CORPORATIONS TO
REHABILITATE- TO BUILD- FOR-
RENT UNITS USE THE SAME TAX
CREDIT BUT THEY'RE NOT ABLE TO
USE IT WHEN THEY'RE BUILDING
pPROJECT LIKE THIS AND CITY OF
GLENDALE WAS I WAS ON THE
COUNCIL WHICH WERE TOWN HOUSES
THAT WERE SOLD TO LOW INCOME
INDIVIDUALS. AND IT'S VERY VERY
DIFFICULT- FOR DEVELOPERS TO
FINANCE THIS KIND OF PRODUCT
THIS WOULD HELP THEM- BECAUSE-
WHAT HAPPENS IS THAT A NONPROFIT
DEVELOPERS WHO BUILD A DEED
RESTRICTED AFFORDABLE HOUSING
FOR HOME BUYERS ARE CURRENTLY
DENIED A PROPERTY TAX EXEMPTION
BECAUSE THE HOME BUYERS PAYING
INTEREST ON A CONVENTIONAL
MORTGAGE. INSTEAD OF ALL THE
FINANCED AND GOING THROUGH A 0%
INTEREST LOAN. HOW WE'VE HEARD
FROM ONE AT NONPROFIT DEVELOPER
WHO I BELIEVE IS HERE HERITAGE
HOUSING PARTNERS THAT THEY'RE
FORCED TO PAY THE PROPERTY TAX
IN THE TIME THEY PURCHASED THE
LAND. THROUGH CONSTRUCTION UNTIL
THE CLOSE OF ESCROW WHEN THEY
TURN THE KEYS OVER TO THE BUYER.
THIS RESULT IN PROPERTY TAX
PAYMENTS OF MANY THOUSANDS OF
DOLLARS PER HOME THAT COULD
INSTEAD BE PLACED BACK INTO
DEVELOPMENT CONSTRUCTION TO GIVE
THESE LOW INCOME RESIDENTS A
CHANCE TO DEVELOP STABILITY.
EQUITY ALL THE THINGS THAT WE
KNOW HOMEOWNERSHIP OFFERS. AND
YOU KNOW THIS ALSO IS SOMETHING
THAT A LOT. OF MONEY BECAUSE
WHEN THAT THE ON LIKE WITH
RENTAL PROPERTY THESE HOMEOWNERS
WILL EVENTUALLY PAY THEIR OWN
PROPERTY TAX SO IF WE DON'T
ALLOW THESE PROPERTIES TO BE
BUILT IF WE USE THIS IS A
BARRIER. THE CITIES IN THE STATE
IS FOREVER DENIED THATTAX
REVENUE. AND I WILL ALSO SAY
THAT- THESE ARE VERY OF A VERY
SMALL AMOUNT OF THE- PRODUCTS
THAT ARE BROUGHT TO MARKET IT'S
REALLY AN INSIGNIFICANT DROP IN
THE BUCKET N TERMS OF TAX
REVENUE. FOR THE STATE BUT IT
DOES RESULT IN A LOT OF SAVINGS.
AB NINETEEN THIRTY THREE IS
SUPPORTED BY THE ASSESSOR OF LOS
ANGELES COUNTY JEFF PRANG AND
THE CALIFORNIA CATHOLIC.
CONFERENCE TESTIFYING IN SUPPORT
TODAY ARE DAVID WILLS AT BUT NO
I THINK IT'S JUST CHARLES
LUCKMAN. FOR HERITAGE HOUSING
PARTNERS AND HOLLY OF FERMENTED
TO HIS USE FOR HABITAT FOR
HUMANITY. THANK YOU SO MUCH
THANK YOU PERCENT AT MADAME
CHARTER MORNING- DAVID WOLF WITH
WELL VERSED CONSULTING
REPRESENTING HERITAGE HOUSING
PARTNERS WE ARE THE SPONSOR OF
AB NINETEEN THIRTY THREE. AND I
WOULD LIKE TO INTRODUCE CHARLES
LEVIN THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF
HERITAGE HOUSING PARTNERS WHO
FLEW UP FROM LOS ANGELES TODAY-
JUST TO TESTIFY ON. THE BILL
SOME VERY DAVID. NO I YOU MY
NAME IS CHARLES WEBB AND I'M
EXECUTIVE HERE HOUSING PARTNERS
WHERE THE SPONSOR OF THIS
LEGISLATION- JUST A FEW QUICK
WORDS ABOUT OUR ORGANIZATION AND
THE IMPORTANCE OF THIS
LEGISLATION TO US HERITAGE
HOUSING PARTNERS IS A NONPROFIT
HOUSING DEVELOPER FOUNDED IN
NINETEEN NINETY EIGHT SO WE'VE
BEEN AROUND FOR ABOUT TWENTY
THREE PLUS YEARS WE'RE DIFFERENT
THAN MOST OTHER NONPROFITS IN
CALIFORNIA FOR TWO REASONS FIRST
IS OUR FOCUS ON AFFORDABLE
HOMEOWNERSHIP WE SURE THAT FOCUS
WITH OUR FRIENDS AT HABITAT FOR
HUMANITY. AND THE OTHER REASON
THAT WERE DIFFERENT IS BECAUSE
OF OUR FOCUS ON MIXED INCOME
HOUSING SO WHEREVER POSSIBLE WE
DEVELOP OWNERSHIP UNITS FOR LOW
INCOME MODERATE INCOME MIDDLE
INCOME AND MARKET BUYERS ALL
LIVING IN WITHIN THE SAME
PROJECT- WE LIKE TO DO IT
BECAUSE OF A WE FOUND THAT TO
CREATE THEIR SOCIAL OUTCOMES FOR
HOMEOWNERS ECONOMIC DIVERSITY IS
DIVERSITY- AND THE SECOND REASON
IS FRANKLY BECAUSE THERE'S SO
LITTLE FUNDING FOR AFFORDABLE
OWNERSHIP- AT THE STATE THEY
WERE ABLE TO TAKE THE PROFITS
FROM DEVELOPING MARKET UNITS
WITHIN OUR PROJECTS AND SELF
SUBSIDIZE MODERN MIDDLE INCOME
UNITS. SO THAT'S WHY WE DO THAT
OUR GOAL IS TO MAKE OWNERSHIP
HOUSING- ATTAINABLE AND
AFFORDABLE TO REALLY ANY
CALIFORNIANS WHO WANTS TO BE AN
OWNER AND QUALIFIES TO BE AN
OWNER AND WE THINK WE DO THAT
WITH A COMBINATION OF TWO THINGS
WHEREVER POSSIBLE BENDING THE
COST CURVE ON THE COST OF
PRODUCING HOUSING WHICH THIS
LEGISLATION WILL DO AND SECOND
PROVIDED FAVORABLE FINANCING TO
OUR HOME BUYERS- WHICH IS REALLY
THE BIG WAY THAT WE DO THAT
HABITAT DOES THAT TO. MAKE
HOUSING AFFORDABLE THANK YOU
THANK YOU VERY MUCH AGAIN HOLLY
FOR MANY ON BEHALF A HABITAT FOR
HUMANITY CALIFORNIA AND I THINK
MANY OF YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH
HAVE A TOP AT THE MODEL AND HOW
MUCH HAVE HIS EVENT INVOLVING
THE TIMES TO GET REALLY KEEP UP
WITH NOT JUST HOME PRICES WHICH
ARE NOW ACCORDING TO ZILLOW FAR
OF HUNDRED OUT A HOME IS THE%
AVERAGE BEFORE YEAH I DON'T KNOW
WHO. THAT IS AFFORDABLE TO BUT
IT'S DEFINITELY NOT AFFORDABLE
TO PEOPLE WHO UNDER PERCENT OF
THE A MY- AND THERE AND A THE
STATE. AND JUST LAST NIGHT WHEN
YOUR COLLEAGUES AS A WRITING ME
THAT JUST SEVEN YEARS AGO WHEN
HIS LOS ANGELES YOU CAN STILL
BUY A HOME FOR UNDER TWO HUNDRED
THOUSAND DOLLARS JUST SEVEN
YEARS AGO. AND THOSE SAME HOMES
ARE NOW SELLING AT SIX HUNDRED
THOUSAND SO HABITAT INHERITED
ANOTHER IS WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO
DO IS BUILD MORE HOMES. BECAUSE
THEY'RE SUCH A GREAT NEED THAT
ARE AT THE PRICE POINT THE
PEOPLE WHO MAKE LOW INCOMES CAN
ACTUALLY STILL AFFORD. AND I
JUST RECENTLY ASKED HABITAT ARE
IN OUR GREAT ALESSI UNTIL IT
GREATER SAN FRANCISCO AREA IN
EAST BAY SILICON VALLEY THEY
WERE TELLING ME. RIGHT NOW JUST
READ UNDERSTAND THE DEMAND FOR A
TWENTY UNIT- PROJECT THAT WE'RE
BUILDING WE HAD OVER ONE
THOUSAND APPLICATIONS. FOR
TWENTY SIX UNITS AND AN EIGHTY
UNIT A NEW ONE THAT'S ON THE
HORIZON IN MARIN COUNTY ALREADY
FOUR HUNDRED APPLICATIONS ARE IN
THE QUEUE. AND I ASKED THEM HOW
MANY OF THOSE APPLICANTS ARE
QUALIFYING AN ELIGIBLE TO GET
INTO THOSE HOMES AND THEY SAID
IT'S A FIVE TO ONE RATIO SO
EVERYONE HOME HABITAT IS
BUILDING AND SERVING A FAMILY.
FIVE OTHER YOU KNOW FOR OTHER
FAMILIES ARE NOT GETTING INTO A
HOME. ELIGIBLE GAINFULLY
EMPLOYED BUT THERE'S JUST NOT
ENOUGH HOMES ON THE MARKET. SO
WE ARE HAVING TO. BUILD THE
BRIDGE THIS GAP AND REDUCE THE
COST OF NEW CONSTRUCTION TO GET
MORE FAMILIES INTO HOMES BUT IN
ORDER TO DO THAT WOULD BE THAT
TAX CODE TO OF ALL. WITH THE
MODELS THAT ARE EVOLVING OVER
TIME AND WE REALLY HOPE TO HAVE
YOUR SUPPORT- FOR THIS BILL
TODAY. THANK YOU. THANK YOU WE
WILL NOW BRING IT. BACK HERE IN

GABRIEL GABRIEL I'D KALRA AYE
AYE KILEY QUIRK-SILVA WARD THANK
YOU ALL GREAT THANK YOU VERY
MUCH OF THAT BILL. IS- IT'S ON
CALL. IF ABSENT MEMBERS WITHOUT

COMMITTEE. AND WE WOULD THAT
I'VE NEVER BEEN I KNOW WE WANT A
ROUSING CLOSING SPEECH FROM YOU
HERE MR BLOOM. TURNS OUT I DID
HAVE MORE BILLS I HAVE ONE MORE
AT- IT'S STILL COMING UP TO.
YEAH BEGIN THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR
AND MEMBERS- I'M PRESENTING AB
TWENTY FIVE NINETY SEVEN AND I'D
LIKE TO START BY TAKING THE
COMMITTEE AMENDMENTS AND ALSO
REASSURE COMMITTEE MEMBERS THAT
OF MY OFFICE WILL BE WORKING AS
ALWAYS WITH THE OPPOSITION- ON-
ISSUES THAT- FRANKLY SOME OF WE
FOUND OUT THAT- AS RECENTLY AS
FRIDAY SO WE'RE- GOING TO GET TO
WORK ON THOSE. THERE'S NO
QUESTION THAT THE PLANET IS
GETTING WARMER AND EVERY DAY WE
HEAR ABOUT NEW RECORD HIGH
TEMPERATURES ON SEPTEMBER SIXTH
TWENTY TWENTY. THE STATE SOUGHT
NEW RECORD HIGHS ACROSS MUCH OF
THE STATE WOODLAND HILLS NOT TOO
FAR FROM MY DISTRICT SAW A HIGH
OF A HUNDRED TWENTY ONE DEGREES
RIVALING DEF ALLEY OAKLAND HAD A
HUNDRED AND TWO SAN JOSE WAS A
HUNDRED AND FIVE SANTA ANA A
HUNDRED AND TEN ESCONDIDO ONE
HUNDRED AND FIFTEEN AND BEVERLY
HILLS WHICH IS IN MY DISTRICT.
AND NOT FAR FROM THE OCEAN A
HUNDRED AND EIGHTEEN DEGREES.
EXTREME HEAT WARNINGS ARE
BECOMING MORE COMMON AS THE
PLANET WARMS AND SEA LEVELS RISE
AND IT IS THE POOR AND ELDERLY
WHO SUFFER THE MOST. EXTREME
HEAT IS ONE OF THE DEADLIEST
CONSEQUENCES OF GLOBAL WARMING
BETWEEN TWENTY TEN AND TWENTY
NINETEEN. THE HOTTEST DECADE ON
RECORD. OFFICIAL REPORTS WERE
THAT FIVE HUNDRED AND NINETY
NINE PEOPLE IN CALIFORNIA DIED
DUE TO HEAT EXPOSURE. HOWEVER
ACCORDING TO AN INVESTIGATION BY
THE L. A. TIMES THE ACTUAL DEATH
TOLL WAS ALMOST SIX TIMES HIGHER
THAN WHAT WAS REPORTED. TOTALING
NEARLY FOUR THOUSAND DEATHS
THESE NUMBERS WILL CONTINUE TO
GROW AS IT CONTINUES TO GET
HOTTER. EACH YEAR EXTREME HEAT
KILLS MORE AMERICANS THAN ANY
OTHER CLIMATE FUELED HAZARD.
LIKE OTHER CLIMATE CHANGE
DISASTERS EXTREME HEAT IMPACTS
THE POOR ELDERLY SICK AND VERY
ON THE MOST. STATE DATA SHOWS
THAT BLACK CALIFORNIANS ARE MORE
LIKELY TO DIE THAN THOSE OF ANY
OTHER RACE FROM HEAT. AND PEOPLE
OVER SIXTY FIVE ARE ESPECIALLY
AT RISK. PEOPLE DIE IN HOUSES
APARTMENTS AND MOBILE HOMES THAT
LACK MITIGATIONS LIKE MODERN
INSULATION COOL ROOF TECHNOLOGY
ENERGY EFFICIENT WINDOWS AIR
CONDITIONING OR EVEN SOMETHING
AS SIMPLE AS SHADE TREES. HE
DOES SOMETHING THOSE WITH
RESOURCES CAN IGNORE WELL FOR
THOSE WITHOUT RESOURCES IT IS A
THREAT TO THEIR SURVIVAL. THE
LEGISLATURE HAS BEGUN TO TAKE
EXTREME HEAT SERIOUSLY AND HAS
STARTED INVESTING IN PLANS AND
PROGRAMS TO HELP MITIGATE THE
IMPACTS OF EXTREME HEAT EVENTS
AND TO SAVE LIVES WHAT IS
MISSING IS A PLAN TO KEEP PEOPLE
SAFE FROM EXTREME HEAT. IN THEIR
OWN HOMES. CURRENTLY STATE
BUILDING AND HABITABILITY
STANDARDS REQUIRE THAT RENTAL
HOUSING BE ABLE TO MAINTAIN A
MINIMUM INDOOR TEMPERATURE OF
SEVENTY DEGREES. BUT SET NO
MAXIMUM TEMPERATURE. WHEN
TEMPERATURES SOAR OUTSIDE INDOOR
TEMPERATURES CAN REACH EVEN
HIGHER IN UNITS THAT LACK COOLEY
FEATURES WHILE STILL BEING
DEEMED HABITABLE UNDER THE STATE
CODE. THIS MAKES LITTLE SENSE IF
THE GOAL OF HABITABILITY
STANDARDS IS TO KEEP PEOPLE SAFE
AND HEALTHY IN THEIR OWN HOMES.
AB TWENTY FIVE NINETY SEVEN IS A
MEASURE THAT WILL ENSURE THAT
EVERY CALIFORNIANS LIVES IN A
SAFE AND RESILIENT HOME THAT
PROVIDES REFUGE FROM EXTREME
HEAT. IT WOULD MODERNIZE THE
STATE'S HABITABILITY CODE TO
REQUIRE THAT RENTAL UNITS CAN
MAINTAIN A SAFE INDOOR
TEMPERATURE REGARDLESS OF
WHETHER TEMPERATURES ARE
EXTREMELY COLD OR EXTREMELY HOT
. THE BILL DOES NOT REQUIRE
EVERY LANDLORD TO. FOR AND AIR
CONDITIONING OR ANYTHING ELSE
FOR THAT MATTER. INSTEAD IT
REQUIRES THE DEVELOPMENT OF
STANDARDS TO ENSURE SAFE INDOOR
AIR TEMPERATURE ON HOT DAYS BUT
LEAVES IT UP TO THE EXPERTS TO
DETERMINE HOW WE GET THERE. WHAT
IT WILL TAKE TO ACHIEVE THE
STANDARD WILL VERY BASED ON
GEOGRAPHY AND A HOST OF OTHER
FACTORS INCLUDING ENSURING
CONSISTENCY WITH STATE CLIMATE
GOALS. THE BILL DOES NOT DICTATE
ANY OF THIS BUT INSTEAD SET THE
PROCESS IN MOTION TO DEVELOP THE
STANDARDS. SHOULD THIS BILL MOVE
OUT OF COMMITTEE TODAY WE'RE
COMMITTED TO CONTINUING TO WORK
WITH ALL STAKEHOLDERS TO ENSURE
A REASONABLE AND PRACTICAL
APPROACH TO ADDRESSING THIS
CRITICAL PUBLIC HEALTH ISSUE.

ACCELERATED FREQUENCY OF EXTREME
HEAT EVENTS. THIS ISSUE HAS
PARTICULAR IMPACTS WHERE PEOPLE
SPEND THE MOST TIME AT HOME.
HOWEVER THERE'S NO REQUIREMENT
FOR RENTAL HOMES IN CALIFORNIA
TO MAINTAIN A SAFE MAXIMUM
INDOOR TEMPERATURE. THIS FAILURE
DISPROPORTIONATELY IMPACTS
CHILDREN SENIORS AND THOSE WITH
PRE EXISTING HEALTH CONDITIONS
WITH THE MOST EXTREME IMPACTS IN
LOW INCOME COMMUNITIES AND
COMMUNITIES OF COLOR. THERE'S NO
QUESTION THIS IS A PROBLEM
EXTREME HEAT IS THE DEADLIEST
CLIMATE HAZARD AND COUNTLESS
CALIFORNIANS SUFFER FROM HEAT
RELATED ILLNESS EACH YEAR.
ELECTED LEADERS HAVE STEPPED UP
WHEN ISSUES OF HEALTH AND SAFETY
IN THE HOME PRESENT THEMSELVES.
FOR EXAMPLE THE TRAGIC TWENTY
FIFTEEN BALCONY COLLAPSE IN
BERKELEY LED TO A SERIES OF
LEGISLATION ADDRESSING ON TOWN
BUILDINGS. WE'VE ALSO SEEN
NUMEROUS LOCAL POLICIES
REQUIRING SEISMIC RETROFITS OF
SOFT STORY APARTMENTS. AND
EXTREME HEAT IS AN ISSUE THAT IS
APPROPRIATE FOR SIMILAR ACTION.
WE'VE LONG REQUIRED HEATING IN
APARTMENTS TO ENSURE A SAFE
MINIMUM TEMPERATURE HEN IT'S
COLD. THIS BILL SIMPLY CREATES A
COMPANION REQUIREMENT FOR SAFE
MAXIMUM TEMPERATURE AND RELIES
ON THE BUILDING STANDARDS
PROCESS TO DEVELOP THAT
REQUIREMENT. WHILE HUMAN SAFETY
MAKE OFFER A C. IN SOME
CIRCUMSTANCES THAT IS NOT WHAT
THIS BILL REQUIRES FOR THE VAST
MAJORITY OF UNITS. AND A RANGE
OF CLIMATE FRIENDLY TECHNOLOGIES
LIKE WEATHER IS ATION EXIST TO
HELP ACHIEVE SAFE TEMPERATURES.
IN MANY REGIONS SIMPLE
INSTALLATION OR SHADE TREES MAY
DO THE TRICK. BUT GIVEN THE
STATEWIDE IMPACTS OF THIS ISSUE
A STATEWIDE STANDARD IS THE
RIGHT APPROACH. WE LOOK FORWARD
TO ENGAGING WITH SO THE
STAKEHOLDERS TO ENSURE THE
PROPER STANDARD AND THIS BILL
ALLOWS THAT PROCESS TO BEGIN. IF
WE'RE SERIOUS ABOUT ADDRESSING
CLIMATE CHANGE WE CANNOT STAND
BY AS CALIFORNIANS SUFFER IN
THEIR HOMES WE URGE ARRIVA.
THANK YOU. THANK YOU WITH IT
WILL GO TO SUPPORT HER IN THE
ROOM. MARINO I OR THE CALIFORNIA
HOUSING CONSORTIUM WE DON'T HAVE

WHICH GOOD AFTERNOON CHAIR
MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE
CORNELIUS BURKE- WHAT THE
CALIFORNIA BUILDING INDUSTRY
ASSOCIATION I WILL BE EXTREMELY
BRIEF- WE ARE STRONG AND- IN
STRONG OPPOSITION TO AB TWENTY
FIVE NINETY SEVEN FOR THE
FOLLOWING FOR REASONS NUMBER ONE
AB TWENTY FIVE NINETY SEVEN
CIRCUMVENTS THE STATE REGULATORY
PROCESS FOR OVER THIRTY YEARS A
STATE LEGISLATURE HAS AVOIDED
THE ESTABLISHMENT OF BUILDING
CODES AND STATUTES INSTEAD OF
DIRECTING EIGHT CD AND THE
BUILDING STANDARDS COMMISSION TO
INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE AND A
TERMINAL FOR REGULATORY ACTION
IS NEEDED AB TWENTY FIVE NINETY
SEVEN LEAPS OVER THE MINISTER
PROCESS AND MANDATES A CD TO
DEVELOP. AND THE BUILDING SOUNDS
COMMISSION TO ADOPT MANDATORY
BUILDING STAF TO A CAR AC IN
EXCESS AND BIT INTO WELL UNITS
NUMBER TWO THIS BILL HAS A LOT
OF TECHNICAL IMPLEMENTATION
ISSUES RETROFITTING AN OLD
DWELLING UNIT WITH A COOLING
UNIT TO MEET THIS NEW CODE IS
NOT A SIMPLE MATTER FOR EXAMPLE
MANY APARTMENTS ARE NOT DESIGN-
TO ALLOW FOR CENTRAL AC ALSO WE
HAVE A LOT OF CUSTOM HOME
BUILDERS AND ARE. A MAGIC YOU
WANT TO REDUCE OUR CO TWO
EMISSIONS YOU WANT TO REDUCE
YOUR ENERGY USAGE ANYONE TAKE
ADVANTAGE OF WINDOWS AND NATURAL
AIR AND BREEZE THIS BILL REQUIRE
YOU TO HAVE INDOOR AC. NUMBER
THREE. WE HAVEN'T REALLY STUC
THE- ON MY TOLD BILLS. THE COST
RUN A- IS A SINGLE GREATEST USE
OF ENERGY AND A HOME ESPECIALLY
DURING THE PEAK LOAD TIME
PERIOD. THE IMPACT OF MONTHLY
BUDGETS- ENERGY CALLS NEEDS TO
BE FULLY EXAMINED. I JUST LOST A
NUMBER FOR WHEN YOU REALLY
STUDY. THIS THE BILL'S IMPACT ON
OUR EXISTING ELECTRICITY GRID.
IT'S GOING TO HAVE A LOT OF
SIGNIFICANT LOAD AND DEMAND SO
THE GRID THAT'S A RODGER FRAGILE
DURING PEAK DEMAND PERIODS SO WE
NEED TO REALLY THINK ABOUT WHAT
THIS BILL WOULD DO TO LITERACY.
FOR THESE REASONS AND MORE CBRE
THE HOMEBUILDING INDUSTRY AS
OPPOSED TO AB TWENTY FIVE NINETY
SEVEN WE RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR NO
VOTE TODAY BUT WILL ALWAYS ENJOY
CONTINUE CONVERSATION WITH
AUTHOR. THANK YOU. I DEBRA
CARLTON WITH THE CALIFORNIA
APARTMENT ASSOCIATION I DON'T
WANT TO REPEAT ALL THE WORDS
THAT MR AT. THE CORNELIUS TOLD
YOU TODAY BUT I THINK THE MOST
IMPORTANT THINGS THAT WE WOULD
LIKE THE REGULATORY PROCESS TO
CONSIDER IS- THAT MANY OLD
BUILDINGS DO NOT- ARE NOT GOOD
FOR RETROFIT WE NEED TO MAKE
SURE THAT IT DOES TAKE INTO
CONSIDERATION ALL OF THE
DIFFERENT VARIABLES THAT
ASSEMBLYMEMBER BLOOM OUTLINED.
AND OF COURSE THE FINAL
CONSIDERATION SHOULD BE THE
REVIEW OF AREAS OF THE STATE
THAT STILL MAY NOT REQUIRE OR
HAVE THE NEED FOR. A COOLING SO
WITH THOSE REASONS WE
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR NOBLE
TODAY THANK YOU. THANK YOU ARE

TALKING ABOUT ALL MORNING- THE
COMMITTEES TO TALK ABOUT THE-
HOMELESSNESS CRISIS THAT WE HAVE
BEEN IN. THE BILL- DOES A NUMBER
OF THINGS TO EXPAND OUR WORK ON
THE SHELTER CRISIS ACTS OF THE
PAST THE EXTENT TO THIRTY TO

LOCAL GOVERNMENT AS A POPULATION
UNSHELTERED HOMELESS. TO TOTAL
HOMELESS POPULATION GREATER THAN
THE NATIONAL AVERAGE EXCLUDING
CALIFORNIA BE INITIAL TO CRISIS
WITHOUT WAY- LOCAL GOVERNMENTS
CAN AUTOMATICALLY OPT INTO A
SHELTER. IT EXTENDS THE BUILDING
STANDARDS ACCORDING TO THE
DOCTOR CRISIS OUT TO SHELTERS
LOCATED ON PRIVATE PROPERTY- AND
MAKE SURE THAT IT'S JUST EASIER.
EASIER TO USE AND ALSO. TO- MAKE
SURE. THAT WE EXPAND THIS TO
PRIVATE PROPERTY JUST PUBLIC

THANK YOU. THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR
MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE
ASSEMBLY MEMBER TANG MY NAME'S
ADRIAN COVERT AND WITH THE BAY
AREA COUNCIL BEAR COUNCILS PROUD
TO CO SPONSOR AB TWENTY TWO
ELEVEN. AND RESPECTFULLY REQUEST
YOUR AYE VOTE TODAY CALIFORNIA
IS IN A SHELTER CRISIS
CALIFORNIA IS HOME 212% OF ALL
AMERICANS. 29% OF ALL HOMELESS
AMERICANS AND 53% OF ALL
UNSHELTERED HOMELESS AMERICANS
MAJOR CONTRIBUTOR TO
CALIFORNIA'S LARGE UNSHELTERED
POPULATION IS IT'SINSUFFICIENT
INVENTORY OF EMERGENCY SHELTERS.
CALIFORNIA PROVIDES JUST THREE
BEDS FOR EVERY TEN HOMELESS
RESIDENTS LESS THAN ANY OHER
STATE IN THE UNITED STATES AND
FAR BELOW THE NATIONAL AVERAGE
OUTSIDE OF CALIFORNIA WHICH IS
SEVEN AND A HALF BEDS PER TEN.
GIVEN CALIFORNIA'S SIZE IT
WEIGHS DOWN THE NATIONAL AVERAGE
WHEN INCLUDED TO SIX POINT TWO
BEDS OUT OF TEN. THESE THIS
IMBALANCE HAS ONLY GROWN WORSE
OVER THE PAST DECADE
CALIFORNIA'S UNSHELTERED
HOMELESS POPULATION INCREASED
57% SINCE TWO THOUSAND TEN. YET
OUR INVENTORY OF EMERGENCY
SHELTERS INCREASED JUST 6%
SHELTER IS A BASIC HUMAN NEED
WITHOUT WHICH OUR HEALTH
DECLINES RAPIDLY. UNSHELTERED
HOMELESSNESS IS ASSOCIATED WITH
INCREASED RISK OF CHRONIC
DISEASES INCLUDING PULMONARY
DISEASE. HYPERTENSION DIABETES
AND INFECTIOUS DISEASES LIKE
HEPATITIS A AND INCREASED RISK
OF PHYSICAL ASSAULT SEXUAL
ASSAULT AN ACCIDENTAL DEATH BY
REDUCING BUREAUCRATIC BARRIERS.
TO EXPANDING EMERGENCY SHELTERS
AB TWENTY TWO ELEVEN WILL HELP
EXPAND ACCESS TO BASIC SHELTER
AND SANITATION THE CALIFORNIA'S
HOMELESS RESIDENTS AND BRING
CALIFORNIA SHELTER INVENTORY
CLOSER INTO LINE WITH THE
NATIONAL. THANK YOU FOR TAKING
MY COMMENTS AND I RESPECTFULLY
REQUEST YOUR VOTE. THE YOU VERY
MUCH YOU CAN BEGIN. THANK YOU
MADAM CHAIR GOOD AFTERNOON
COMMITTEE MEMBERS AND THANK YOU-
ASSEMBLY TANG MY NAME IS PETER I
DO AM THE ASSISTANT TO THE CITY
MAN WITH CITY OF BERKELEY I'M
HERE TO WIN MAYOR ERROR AGAIN
SUPPORT FOR AB TWENTY TWO ELEVEN
AND TO GIVE YOU A REAL LIFE
EXAMPLE FOR HOW THIS BILL WOULD
HAVE HELPED US IN BERKELEY IN
TWENTY NINETEEN HAD IT BEEN WHAT
THE TIME. I SOME TWENTY NINETEEN
WE WERE APPROACHED BY FRED FINCH
YOU SERVICES WHICH IS A NON
PROFIT SERVING- TRANSITION AGE
YOUTH THEY OWNED AND OPERATED A
TWELVE BED TRANSITIONAL HOUSING
PROGRAM IN SOUTH BERKELEY- AND
AT THE TIME THEIR BOARD HAD MADE
THE DETERMINATION THAT
CONTINUING TO OPERATE THAT
PROGRAM WAS N LONGER
FINANCIALLY OR ADMINISTRATIVELY
VIABLE FOR THEM. AND THEY WERE
LOOKING TO SELL THE PROPERTY IN
TRANSITION THE PROGRAM TO
ANOTHER A NON PROFIT FORTUNATELY
THEY HAD IDENTIFIED A WILLING
BUYER IN COVENANT HOUSE
CALIFORNIA IS THAT ANOTHER
NONPROFIT SERVING TRANSITION AGE
YOUTH AT THE TIME THEY OPERATED
. BED EMERGENCY SHELTER FOR
YOUTH EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS
IN BERKELEY AND D. AT LEAST ON
THAT SHELTER WAS EXPIRING AND
THEY WERE OUT WE AT RISK OF
BEING DISPLACED IN ORDER FOR THE
DEAL TO PENCIL OUT FOR KEPT
COVENANT HOUSE THEY PROPOSED AN
INTERIOR RENOVATION TO THE
BUILDING THAT WOULD. ADDED THE
THIRTY BED SHELTER IN ADDITION
TO MAINTAINING THE TWELVE BED
TRANSITIONAL HOUSING PROGRAM. AT
THE TIME THE PERSON IN QUESTION
WAS OWNED RESIDENTIAL IN
BERKELEY THE EXISTING ZONING
PERMITS DID NOT ALLOW FOR MORE
THAN TWELVE DADS AND OF COURSE
CHANGING THE PARCEL'S ZONING
WOULD HAVE BEEN A WINKY
DISCRETIONARY PROCESS THAT WE
SIMPLY DID NOT HAVE THE TIME FOR
GIVEN THE EXPIRING WEEKS THAT I
MENTIONED- BECAUSE THIS PROPERTY
WAS NEITHER LEAST NOR OWNED BY
THE CITY. WE UNFORTUNATELY HAD
NO IN FORTY UNDER EXISTING
LAUNDRY DISS AND SHELTER CRISIS
LAW TO INVOKE A CRISIS TO WAIVE
STRICT COMPLIANCE WITH THE
ZONING RESTRICTIONS EVEN THOUGH
A CITY FUNDED HOMELESS PROGRAM
HAD BEEN OPERATING THERE FOR
LITERALLY DECADES WHEN STAFF
BROUGHT THIS PROPOSAL BEFORE THE
COUNCIL NEIGHBORHOOD OPPOSITION
WAS QUITE FIERCE AND ULTIMATELY.
PROJECT BURKE WE LOST. THOSE
THIRTY DAD'S. HELLO COMMITTEE
MEMBERS THIS IS A REAL I THINK.
OF COMMONSENSE PRY. THAT CANNOT
BE. AND EXPEDITED UNDER CURRENT
STATE LAW. EXISTIR EXISTING
SHELTER CRISIS BILL WOULD NOT-APPLIED. NORWOOD EIGHTY ONE OF
ONE WOULD HAVE HELPED BECAUSE
THAT LIES VERY. NARROWLY APPLIED
ONLY TO NAVIGATION CENTERS. AND
IN COMMERCIAL OR MIX AND MULTI
FAMILY ZONING DISTRICTS. THIS IS
WHERE AB TWENTY TWO ELEVEN WOULD
HAVE HELPED US WOULD HAVE
ALLOWED US TO WAIVE STRICT
COMPLIANCE WITH ZONING ON THE
PRIVATE PARCEL. AND IT WOULD
ALLOW US TO. APPLY THE SAME
EMERGENCY HOUSING STANDARDS
INITIALLY PROMULGATED AFTER
EIGHTY NINE THIRTY TWO. TO THAT
PRIVATE PARCEL- SO WITH THAT I
RESPECTFULLY ON BEHALF OF MAYOR
DEAN REQUEST YOUR AYE VOTE.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH WILL BRING

. THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR JUST
WANT TO THANK THE AUTHOR FOR
THIS BILL- FOR THE CITY OF LOS
ANGELES THAT MAY BE LISTENING
I'M SURPRISED TO NOT SEE THE
CITY OF LA IN SUPPORT OR IN
CONVERSATION OF THIS BILL.
PRIMARILY BECAUSE IN THE CITY OF
LOS ANGELES WE HAVE PERHAPS THE
MOST NEED BASED ON NUMBERS. WE
ALSO HAVE A SKID ROW WE KNOW
THAT OUR SHELTERS ARE OVER
IMPACTED AND NEED MORE RESOURCES
AND WE CLEARLY NEED SUPPORT. SO
THANK YOU TO THE BAY AREA
COUNCIL AND FOR YOUR REGION IN
PARTICULAR FOR TAKING THIS ON
AND I JUST WOULD HOPE. THAT THE
CITY OF LOS ANGELES ENGAGES IN
SOME WAY THANK YOU. A PUBLIC
ADJUSTER QUICKLY AFTER THAT SO
SB NINE THIRTY TWO WAS MY
ORIGINAL BILL WHICH I WENT A
COUPLE CITIES IN THE CITY OF LA
WAS PART OF THAT BILL- MY
UNDERSTANDING IS THEY HAVE- USE
DROPPED IT INTO USE THAT BILL IN
THE PAST AND SO- MY- JUST
BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT LISTED I
WOULDN'T TAKE THAT AS THEY'RE
NOT SUPPORTIVE THEY THEY'VE
ACTUALLY BEEN VERY SUPPORTIVE OF
MY- PREVIOUS BILLS AND THIS IS
JUST AN EXPANSION OF THAT. THANK

YES I SUPPORT THIS BILL AND
THANK YOU I IT AGAIN IT BRINGS
BACK ARE WE USING THE HAMMER OR

PROBLEM IS THAT. THEY DON'T
RESPOND AND WE HAVE BEEN HERE
NOW YEAR AFTER YEAR. SEEN
MINISTER PELONIS PUSH OFF THEIR
HOMELESS FROM ONE CITY TO
ANOTHER WHICH IS NOT ACCEPTABLE
BUT THEN FROM COUNTY TO COUNTY
WHICH IS IN EVEN MORE ACCEPTABLE
SO UNACCEPTABLE. AND SOMETIMES
EVEN ORGANIZATIONS- THAT ARE
TRYING TO DO SOMETHING AS A NON
PROFIT- THE CITY'S WILL FIND
WAYS TO KEEP THEM FROM EVEN
DOING THAT WORK SO THIS IS
ESSENTIAL AS I'VE MENTIONED
BEFORE IT'S IT SHOULD BE A
TEMPORARY- A SCENARIO FOR
INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE EXPERIENCING
HOMELESSNESS- BUT NOT A THREE OR
FOUR YEAR STAY BUT ALL OF THIS-
FITS TOGETHER WITH ONE PIECE
AFFECTING ANOTHER BUT I
CERTAINLY AGAIN AS A LOCAL.
REPRESENTATIVE I DON'T

COMMITTEE FOR THE LAST FEW
YEARS- SO THIS THIS THIS WILL
MAKE IT EASIER FOR CITIES LIKE

THEIR NON PROFITS TO ENSURE THAT

THANK YOU CHAIR MEMBERS FOR
SOMEONE I THINK YOU AND THANK
YOU IN THE COMMITTEE CONSULTANT
FOR WORKING WITH MY OFFICE. AND
THE SPONSORS ON IMPROVING THE
MEASURE. I ACCEPT THE COMMITTEES
AMENDMENTS THE DEPARTMENT OF
HOUSING AND COMMUNITY
DEVELOPMENT IS REQUIRED TO
INSPECT PARKS TO ENSURE THE
SAFETY OF ALL RESIDENTS IN THE-
IN THE PARK BY ISSUING HEALTH
AND SAFETY CITATIONS TO
RESIDENTS. AND OWNERS. IF A
RESIDENT FAILS TO CORRECT A
VIOLATION AFTER SIXTY DAYS THE
PARK OWNER TO USE IN PERCY'S
WHAT IS CALLED A NOTICE. TO
SUSPEND A PERMIT TO OPERATE
WHICH MEANS THAT THE PARK MAY
LOSE A LOT A ABILITY TO COLLECT
RENT FROM EVERY SPACE IN THE
PARK. UNLESS THE VIOLATION IS
CORRECTED WITHIN THIRTY DAYS
WHICH CURRENTLY MEANS EVICTIONS
. THE BILL DOES DOES TWO THINGS
FIRST IT CREATES A MECHANISM FOR
THE H. C. D. TO CREATE A NEW
GRANT FUND TO PROVIDE FUNDS FOR
THOSE THAT CAN'T. A FOR TO FIX A
VIOLATION THAT THAT COULD
ENDANGER THE LIVES OF THE
RESIDENTS THE NEIGHBORS AND HE
EVEN SURROUNDING CITIES. THINK
THINKING FIRE PRONE AREAS SECOND
THE BILL STATES- BILL STATES
THAT THE THAT A PERMIT TO
OPERATE WON'T BE. WON'T BE
SUSPENDED FOR THE RESIDENTS
VIOLATION HOWEVER I DID ACCEPTED
MOVEMENTS TO NARROW THE SCOPE OF
CITATIONS THAT COULD JEOPARDIZE
HEALTH SAFETY AND LIFE. FINALLY
THE GOVERNOR'S PROPOSALS BUDGET
INCLUDED FIFTY MILLION FOR
SIMILAR PROGRAMS TO ASSIST
RESIDENTS AND IT SEEMS TO MAKE
SENSE TO ALSO PUT A SUBSTANCE OF
AB. TWENTY ZERO ZERO TWO INTO
THE BUDGET PROPOSAL TO EXPEDITE
HELP TO KEEP RESIDENTS IN THEIR
HOMES. WITH ME TODAY TESTIFYING
SUPPORT OF AB TWO ZERO ZERO TWO.
CHRIS WAS GOSSIPY LEVINE YES
OKAY SORRY WITH WITH WESTERN
MANUFACTURING HOUSING
COMMUNITIES ASSOCIATION AND SHE
SAID I KURT REPRESENTING THE
CALIFORNIA MOBILE PARK ALLIANCE
. RIGHT AND THIS IS MAY PROCEED
TWO MINUTES EACH THANK YOU HAVE
A NUMBER GIVEN THE OUR WILL KEEP
IT SHORT- GOOD AFTERNOON MR VICE
CHAIR HAS MEMBERS OF THE
COMMITTEE ON CHRIS WYSOCKI WITH
WESTERN MANUFACTURED HOUSING
COMMUNITIES ASSOCIATION. AND
FIRST I WANT TO THANK THE
ASSEMBLY MEMBER FOR INTRODUCING
AB TWO THOUSAND TWO. RESIDENTS
DESERVE TO LIVE IN THIS
COMMUNITY WHEREVER EVERY
RESIDENT ABIDES BY THE HEALTH
AND SAFETY RULES AND THE RULES
OF THE PARK. THAT WAY EVERYONE
IS ASSURED SAFE COMMUNITIES AND
THAT ARE FREE FROM HAZARDS.
FORTUNATELY A LOT OF RESIDENTS
AREN'T BEING ADDRESSED FOR
NUMBER OF REASONS INCLUDING TWO.
AND INCLUDING NOT BEING ABLE TO
AFFORD THE REPAIRS. THIS BILL IS
MEANT TO ADDRESS THIS BY
CREATING A PROGRAM ADMINISTERED
BY HCD TO ALLOW RESIDENTS TO
ACCESS FUNDS TO FIX HEALTH AND
SAFETY ISSUES. IN ORDER TO AVOID
POSSIBLE INFECTION DUE TO NON
COMPLIANCE IN AND SAFE HAZARDOUS
CONDITIONS. THIS BILL CREATES
THE MOBILE HEAD MOBILE HOME
REPAIR GRANTS FUND AND WILL
ENABLE OUR RESIDENTS TO ACCESS
THESE FUNDS. THAT RESIDENTS CAN
AFFORD TO FIX WITH THE STATE
SURPLUS THAT WE HAVE FOCUSING A
MINIMAL AMOUNT COULD GO A LONG
WAY TOWARDS HELPING RESIDENTS
KEEP ROOFS OVER THEIR HEADS. IN
ADDITION IS THE ASSEMBLY MEMBER
SAID THE GOVERNOR'S PROPOSED
BUDGET HAS FIFTY MILLION DOLLARS
TO DEAL WITH A SIMILAR PROBLEM.
BUT IT'S ONLY LIMITED TO
RESIDENT OWN PARKS AND NOT ALL
PARKS. MIGHT BE A GOOD IDEA TO
HAVE THE LANGUAGE OF THIS BILL
OR PARTS OF IT INSERTED INTO THE
BUDGET IN ORDER TO EXPEDITE THE
PROCESS WE ALSO WANT TO THANK
THE COMMITTEE AND THE COMMITTEE
CONSULTANT FOR HARD WORK ON THIS
ISSUE. AND THE SUGGESTED
AMENDMENTS TO PROVIDE A
FRAMEWORK FOR FURTHER DISCUSSION
TO IMPROVE HOUSING FOR MOBILE
HOME PARK RESIDENTS. AND TO
PREVENT AN OWNER FROM HAVING
THEIR PERMIT TO OPERATE BE
SUSPENDED FOR RESIDENT ELATION.
BEGAN WE SHOULD THANK THE AUTHOR
FOR BRINGING THIS BILL FORWARD
TO ADDRESS CALIFORNIA'S HOUSING
CRISIS AND KEEP PEOPLE IN THEIR
HOMES. THANK YOU. THANK YOU VERY
MUCH NEXT WITNESS. THANK YOU MR
VICE CHAIR AND MEMBERS JASON I
COULD ON BEHALF OF THE
CALIFORNIA MOBILE HOME PARK
OWNERS ALLIANCE I WILL REPEAT MR
WHY SAKI'S TESTIMONY BUT BUT
JUST A COUPLE OF QUICK POINTS IS
HE SAID THANK YOU VERY MUCH TO
THE ASSEMBLY MEMBER FOR BRINGING
A GOOD BILL. RIGHT NOW WHEN A
RESIDENT HAS A VIOLATION AND
CAN'T FIX IT. THE ONLY
ENFORCEMENT MECHANISM THAT THAT
THAT A STATE. OR LOCAL LAW
ENFORCEMENT AGENCY HAS IS ON THE
PARK. AND THE PARK OWNER- BY
REMOVING THAT YOU KNOW WE ARE
BUILDING SOME ROOM. WHERE TO
PARK HONOR HAVING TO MOVE
DIRECTLY TO ADDICTION.
ADDICTIONS ARE GOOD FOR
RESIDENTS OBVIOUSLY THEY'RE NOT
GOOD FOR THE COMMUNITY. AND
THEY'RE NOT WANTED OR GOOD FOR
THE PARK OWNER. SO FOR THESE
REASONS WE ARE WE ARE VERY
STRONG SUPPORT OF ON BEHALF OF
THE MOBILE HOME PARK OWNERS
ALLIANCE. OF AB TWO THOUSAND TWO
. GREAT YOU SO MUCH. SO AT THIS
TIME WE'RE GOING TO GO TO THE
ROOM THERE IS ANYBODY WHO
WISHES TO EXPRESS THEIR SUPPORT
FOR THE BILL YOU CAN COME UP TO
THE MIKE- WOULD YOU STATE YOUR
NAME. THE ORGANIZATION YOU
REPRESENT AND THAT YOU SUPPORT
THE BILL. ANYBODY IN THE ROOM.
THEY'RE BEING NINE WE'RE GONNA
GO TO THE LINES DATING TEACH
AT&T OPERATOR YOU THERE. I AM
MISTER CHAIR FOR THOSE WHO WISH
TO SPEAK ON THIS BILL PLEASE
PRESS ONE ZERO. NO ONE IS
SIGNALED THAT THEY WISH TO SPEAK
ALL RIGHT WE'LL BRING IT BACK TO
THE ROOM AND- ARE THERE ANY
WITNESSES IN OPPOSITION TO THIS
BILL. AND WISH TO SPEAK TO HAVE
ANYBODY ON THE LINE. NO OKAY SO
DOESN'T APPEAR WE HAVE ANY SPEAK
OF JUST DEL BRING IT BACK IN A
MINUTE OF ANYBODY ON THE PHONE
LINES THAT- WISH TO SPEAK IN
OPPOSITION. MISTER EIGHTEEN D.
OPERATOR IF YOU COULD PUT THAT
OUT. IF ANYONE WANTS TO SPEAK IN
OPPOSITION TO THIS BILL PLEASE
PRESS ONE THEN ZERO. THERE IS NO
ONE VERY WILL BRING IT BACK TO
THE DAIS MISTER KALRA I BELIEVE
YOU HAD A COMMENT. THANK YOU-
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR I KNOW I
THINK THE AUTHOR FOR BRINGING
THIS BILL FORWARD- I BELIEVE IT
IS STILL THE CASE A SAN JOSE HAS
MORE. HOMES IN THE CITY IN THE
STATE AND I'VE GOT A LOT OF
MOBILE EMISSION FRANKLY WITH
ORGANIZATIONAL REBUILDING
TOGETHER WHENEVER THEY HAVE
THESE. COME TOGETHER VOLUNTEER
TO FIX UP HOMES. NINETY FIVE
SENATORS TO A MOBILE HOME PARK
BECAUSE OF ONE AND A LOT OF THE
MOBILE HOMES. IN DISREPAIR LOT
ELDERLY RESIDENTS AND I CALL
MOBILE HOMES ESPECIALLY IN AREAS
LIKE SELLING. THE BACK TO
AFFORDABLE OUSING BECAUSE-
CONSIDERING HOW MUCH HAPPENED
AROUND THE MOBILE HOMES AND THE
DEVELOPMENTS COME UP. OF THE
REALITIES THAT MANY THAT LIVE IN
MOBILE HOMES WOULD BE ABLE TO
AFFORD TO LIVE. IN THE AREA
WITHOUT THEM- INSIDE AND I AGREE
WITH AND I LIKE TO UNDERLYING-
THIS IS A BILL I DO THINK THAT.
YOU KNOW THE- IF THERE IS A-
ISSUE WITH THE PARTICULAR HOME
TO. KIND OF. HOLD THE ENTIRE
MOBILE HOME PARK YOU KNOW AT AT
HARM BECAUSE OF IT. I GET THAT
THE ONLY THING I WANTED TO MAKE
SURE JUST TO PUT IT OUT THERE-
IS AND I THINK THAT THE- THE
NEXT BILL THAT IS A RELEASE IN A
PRESENT MAYBE. THE SPONSORS YOU
DON'T LIKE IT BUT I THINK THAT
ACTUALLY DOES HELP. TO GO SOME.
INTERNS THAT COMMUNICATION BUT-
THE ONLY THE ONE THE ONE THING I
MEAN I DO LIKE TO FIND. THERE'S
NO DOUBT THAT WE DO NEED MORE
RESOURCES TO FIX UP SOME OF
THESE ALMOST MOBILE HOMES- IS
THAT WHAT I DON'T WANT TO SEE
HAPPEN BECAUSE WE DO SEE THIS
HAPPENS SOMETIMES. IS IT IS WHEN
THEIR ISSUES IN A MOBILE HOME
PARK THAT AREN'T RESOLVED.
QUICKLY AND IN THIS CASE MAYBE
THERE'S AN ISSUE. THAT OUR
PARTICULAR RESIDENT HAS IS NOT
RESOLVED QUICKLY. BUT NOW
BECAUSE THERE'S NOT THAT OUTSIDE
PRESSURE ON THE MOBILE HOME PARK
THAT THEY'RE GOING TO. LOSE
THEIR PERMIT OPERATE THERE'S
LESS OF AN URGENCY FOR THEM TOMAKE SURE THAT INDIVIDUAL.
RESOLVES IT. AS THAT'S WHERE YOU
KNOW I THINK THAT. AS LONG AS WE
CAN THAT IS JUST RECOGNIZE THAT
TO MAKE SURE THAT. AND I KNOW
MOBILE HOME PARKS IN GENERAL ARE
GOING TO WANT TO HAVE. THE
RESIDENTS UPKEEP WELL TO THE
BEST THAT THEY CAN IN THIS CASE
HAVE SOME RESOURCES TO HELP
THEM. IF NECESSARY BUT THERE MAY
BE SITUATIONS WHERE. A
PARTICULAR RESIDENT MAY HAVE
ISSUES AND NOW BECAUSE THERE'S
NOT THAT EXTRA PRESSURE. OF THE
PARK LOSING LOSING ITS PERMIT.
THERE MAY BE LESS OF A- URGENT
FOR THE PARK TO RESOLVE THAT
ISSUE. AND THEN THEY CAN CAUSE
BLIGHT ON THE- NEIGHBORING
PROBLEMS THAT MAKE SENSE.
GALLIENUS JUST CLICK EVEN IN
MIND AND MAY SURE THAT THERE'S A
IF MAY BE THERE'S TRUMP- SOME.
THAT CAN BE A THERE TO. MAKE
CLEAR THAT THE OVERALL OF IS NOT
TO. ALLOW A LOT KEEP THINGS
REPAIRED A QUITE OPPOSITE THE
ACTUAL FIND MORE. A BACK TO WAYS. TO RESOLVE ISSUES. I WOULD
AGREE WITH IT. I MEAN JUST
BECAUSE- I PUT MYSELF. I THINK
IN THAT AS YOU SAID EARLIER. IT
THERE'S A LOT OF SENIORS RIGHT-
ELDERLY FOLKS. AND SOMETIMES.
YOU KNOW THEY DON'T MOVE AS FAST
AS WE DO RIGHT SO YOU GOT TO
THINK. HOW THEY THINK SOMETIMES
AND IT MAY TAKE A LITTLE MORE
TIME. SO I GREATER. DEPTH
ANYBODY ELSE. I GET A MOTION AND
A SECOND. OUR MOTION BY KALRA

SENIOR LIVING IN A MOBILE HOME
PARK IN ST FE. AT THE- WELL
REGIONAL MANAGER I AM
CONSISTENTLY WORKING TO HELP
SOLVE PROBLEMS AT MY PARK AND
SURROUNDING PARKS. AB TWENTY
THIRTY ONE PROPILOT PROPOSES TO
AMEND THE MOBILE HOME RESIDENCY
LAW TO PROMOTE IMPROVED
COMMUNICATION. AND PROBLEM
SOLVING BETWEEN MOBILE HOME
HOMEOWNERS AND MOBILE HOME PARK
MANAGEMENT. MANY PARK OWNERS
AREN'T CIVIL CODE SEVEN NINE
EIGHT POINT FIVE THREE TWO
LITERALLY ALLOWING EITHER A
MOBILE HOME RESIDENTS FOR THEIR
REPRESENTATIVES TO MEET WITH
PARK MANAGEMENT BUT NOT BOTH.
THIS IS WHAT I WAS MEANT TO
CREATE A VEHICLE FOR RESOLVING
GRIEVANCES WHEN PARK MANAGEMENT
READS THE LAW TO LITERALLY IT
EXCLUDES INDIVIDUALS FROM THE
MEETING. WHETHER IT BE A
TRANSLATOR OR AN ADVOCATE WITH
SPECIALIZED KNOWLEDGE WHO CAN
HELP OF RESIDENTS NAVIGATE AND
EXPLAIN THEIR ISSUE. WHEN PEOPLE
SEEK REDRESS THEY HAVE THE RIGHT. TO DO SO ALONE. BUT SHOULD
THEY NEED A FIFTH. STATE LAWS.
OF THE ALLOW THEM UTILIZE THIS.
OF AND BE JOINED BY QUALIFIED
APPLICANTS OR REPRESENTATIVES

PROBLEMS. THIS BILL PROPOSES TO
ALIGN ITSELF WITH THOSE CURRENT
CALIFORNIA GOVERNANCE VALUES

SUPPORTS THE LEGISLATION IS NOW
IS THE TIME TO COME UP TO THE
MIKE. AND EXPRESS THAT. AND IT'S
A REALLY SCRAMBLING TO THE MIKE
SO WE'RE GONNA GO BACK TO THE
EIGHTEEN T. OPERATOR IS THERE
ANYBODY ON THE LINE TO WHO
WISHES TO EXPRESS SUPPORT. FOR
THIS MEASURE. YOU WISH TO SPEAK
IN SUPPORT PLEASE PRESS ONE THEN
ZERO. NO ONE IS SIGNALED THAT
THEY WISH TO SPEAK OKAY HELLO
AND WE DOES NOT APPEAR WE HAVE
ANY OPPOSITION WITNESSES I'M
SORRY KIND OF PASSED OVER THAT-
WHO DO HAVE OPPOSITION
WITNESSES. COME ON IN OPPOSITION
WITNESSES MY APOLOGIES RIGHT.
THANK YOU MR VICE CHAIR AND
MEMBERS CHASE AND I COULD ON
BEHALF OF THE CALIFORNIA MOBILE
HOME PARK OWNERS ALLIANCE CPA
DOES HAPPEN OPPOSE POSITION ON
THE BILL BUT WANT TO START BY
ACKNOWLEDGING THE COMMITMENTS
THAT THE AUTHOR MADE TO TAKE
AMENDMENTS TODAY OR RATHER THE
AND THEN THE CITY DID TAKE TODAY
AND ESPECIALLY THE EFFORTS OF
THE MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE
THAT WENT INTO THAT- THE REMOVAL
OF SUB D. FROM THE BILL
ADDRESSES THE LARGEST CONCERN
THAT SEEM PA HAD WITH THE BILL.
WE ARE NOT IN A POSITION TO
REMOVE OUR OPPOSITION TODAY
SIMPLY BECAUSE WE DO HAVE
CONCERNS REMAINING AND WE DO
NEED TO TALK TO OUR CLIENT ABOUT
THEIR PERSPECTIVE ON THE BILL
WITH THE AMENDMENTS BUT AGAIN
JUST WANTED TO ACKNOWLEDGE WHAT
HAS BEEN CHANGED- AND WILL BE
HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS AND
OF COURSE LOOK FORWARD TO
WORKING WITH ALL THE IN THE
FUTURE. THANK YOU. NEXT THANK
YOU MR VICE CHAIR CHRIS WYSOCKI-
WITH WESTERN MANUFACTURED.
HOUSING COMMUNITIES ASSOCIATION
AND WE WANT TO THANK THE
COMMITTEE MEMBERS THAT WE MET
WITH- WE THINK. THIS THIS BILL
AND REMOVING THE TEN DAY. ASSESS
IS VERY IMPORTANT AND IT'S A
GOOD FIRST STEP BUT IT'S ONLY
ONE OF A NUMBER OF ISSUES THAT
WE HAVE WITH THE BILL SO WE
RESPECTFULLY MY STILL REMAIN
OPPOSED TO IT- ONE OF THE THINGS
THAT WE- BELIEVE IS THAT. THIS
BILL IS SEEMS TO BE A SOLUTION
IN SEARCH OF A PROBLEM IN MANY
WAYS. IN THAT IT REALLY SEEMS TO
ENCOURAGE THE- INTERACTION
BETWEEN LAWYERS AND- AND THE-
PARK OWNERS THAT SPECIALIZE IN
MOBILE HOME PARK LAWSUITS- SO WE
HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THAT.
THERE'S A VALUE IN FACE TO FACE
DISCUSSIONS AND WHAT WE
APPRECIATE TELECONFERENCING AND
VIDEO CONFERENCING. WE'RE NOT
CONVINCED THAT THE EXISTING M.
R. L. CAN ALREADY ACCOMMODATE
THAT- WHY DOESN'T THE CURRENT
LAW WORK. WHERE BOTH PARTIES CAN
ALREADY CONSENT TO IT THERE
HASN'T BEEN ANY EXAMPLES ABOUT-
OTHER THAN GENERIC EXAMPLES.
THAT HAVE BEEN BROUGHT TO US
ABOUT WHY THIS BILL IS ACTUALLY
NEEDED. SO WHY FORCE THIS BILL-
ON A SUBSET OF INDUSTRIES THAT
ARE JUST MOBILE HOME PARK OWNERS
- WHEN I HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS
WHY NOT ALL LATE LAWYERS IN
MEDIATION ISSUES ONE OF THE
LEGISLATURE ITSELF. YESTERDAY
ALONE THERE WERE TEN HEARINGS IN
THE ASSEMBLY AND ONLY THREE
PROVIDE A CELL PHONE ACCESS.
WITH THE SEVERE LACK OF HOUSING
IN THE STATE. WE JUST DON'T
BELIEVE THIS LEGISLATION
CONTRIBUTES TO THE CREATION OF
MORE OPPORTUNITIES FOR FAMILIES
TO LIVE IN MOBILE HOME PARKS. IN
FURTHER WMA MEMBERS WORK CLOSELY
WITH OUR RESIDENTS ON A REGULAR
BASIS WE'RE A PARK MANAGERS LIVE
RIGHT NEXT TO THE RESIDENTS WHO
ARE THEMSELVES- RESIDENTS. THE
BILL SEEMS TO BE A SOLUTION IN
SEARCH OF A PROBLEM AGAIN. AND
IT ALSO BELIEVE WE BELIEVE THAT
IT CREATES A FALSE NARRATIVE
THAT PARK OWNERS AND RESIDENTS
HAVE AN ADVERSARIAL
RELATIONSHIP. AND THAT'S A
NATION NOTION THAT WE FIRMLY
REJECT SO FOR THESE REASONS AND
OTHERS- WE RESPECTFULLY OPPOSE
BUT WE DO APPRECIATE THE
COMMITTEES- AND THEN. OKAY THANK
YOU VERY MUCH- IS THERE ANYBODY
IN THAT ROOM THAT WISHES TO
EXPRESS OPPOSITION TO THE BILL
COME UP TO THE MIKE CAN DO SO.
IF NOT EIGHTEEN D. OPERATOR CAN
YOU PLEASE OPEN LINE FOR
ANYBODY- IN OPPOSITION OF THE
BILL. IF YOU WISH TO SPEAK IN
OPPOSITION TO THIS BILL PLEASE
PRESS ONE NINE ZERO. MISTER
CHAIR KNOWING THE SIGNAL THAT
THEY WISH TO SPEAK ALL RIGHT
WE'LL BRING IT BACK TO THE DÍAS
FOR ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS
FROM MISTER KALRA GO HEAD. I
THINK THANK YOU THAT IS AS I
MENTIONED DURING THE LAST- BILL-
I DO THINK THIS IS ACTUALLY A
GOOD. PARTNER GO TO SOME EXTENT
HAVING. DONE EXTENSIVELY- WITH
MOBILE HOMES IN MY- IN MY CITY I
OFTENTIMES WITH THE THAT THERE
IS CONFLICT THAT ARISES AND I DO
BELIEVE THAT THERE'S- AN
IMBALANCE OF POWER WITH THE
MOBILE HOMEOWNER IN THE-RESIDENCE- THAT OFTENTIMES MOST
COMPANIES CAN BE RESOLVED IF
THERE'S THAT BALANCE OF POWER
AND COMMUNICATION- PARTICULARLY.
WITH THE PRIOR BILL GOING
FORWARD I THINK THERE'S A
PRIVATE FIVE NUMBER TWO AND IF
THERE ARE ISSUES. REGARDING
MAINTENANCE- WEATHER'S
MAINTENANCE AN ISSUE OF THE
ACTUAL RESIDENT R OF THE PARK
THAT COULD BE RESOLVED IN A IN
A- IN IN A WAY THAT OTHERWISE
MAYBE COULDN'T. AND OBVIOUSLY
THE INTERPRETATION AND OTHER-
ESPECIALLY IN PLACES LIKE SAN
JOSE WE HAVE MOBILE HOME PARKS
THAT ARE ALMOST ENTIRELY A
VIETNAMESE OR SPANISH SPEAKING
RESIDENTS. AND OF HAVING THAT
INTERPRETATION- IT'S A IT IS A
CRITICAL IN ORDER TO MAKE SURE
THAT THEY ARE FULLY INFORMED OF
THEIR RIGHTS AND
RESPONSIBILITIES. AS WELL. THANK
YOU. I AM BE ELSE MISS WARD READ
. THANK YOU. THIS I HAVE A LIGHT
ON THE- OKAY- NO THANK YOU FOR
THE BUILDING FOR THE CHANCE TO
SPEAK- BEFORE GIMME A LITTLE BIT
THIS TO. AND I'M ALSO JUST TRAIN
TRYING TO UNDERSTAND THE
IMPROVEMENT HERE- GIVEN WHAT THE
EXISTING LAW CURRENTLY REQUIRES
WITH THIRTY DAYS NOTICE AND I
KNOW THERE'S SOME EXPANSION OF-
I GUESS TOPICAL MATTERS THAT YOU
KNOW WOULD BE ADDRESSED NOT TAT
CAN I CAN BE HELPFUL- DOES PULL
DOWN THEN TO JUST- A REQUIREMENT
TO. ENSURE THAT OWNERS ARE ABLE
TO MEET SIMULTANEOUSLY WITH A
REPRESENTATIVE. YES BUT ALSO IF
YOUR FIRST QUESTION ABOUT WHAT
COULD BE THE BENEFIT OF IT- ASK
IF ANY OF MY SPONSORS FROM GSM
OR TESTIMONY FROM GSM ALL WON AT
LEAST TODAY HOW HE WOULD
BENEFICIAL IN A KIND OF
INTERPERSONAL CONTEXT YEAH IT
THERE ARE YOU KNOW- JUST KNOWN-
EXPERIENCE IS- REAL WORLD-
EXPERIENCES OF MARTHA BURSE IF
YOUR SONG YOU WANNA. SHOW AN
EXAMPLE OR TELLING EXAMPLE
HOUSLEY BENEFICIAL. BOB THIS IS
MARCEL. I CAN TELL YOU THAT IN
THE IN THE SITUATIONS FOR THE
PARK OWNERS TAKE THE POSITION.
THAT THEY WILL NOT TALK TO ME AS
THE ADVOCATE AND THE
REPRESENTATIVE. IT'S COMPLETELY
UNWORKABLE IT'S EVEN SO BAD THAT
IF I SEND AN EMAIL ON BEHALF OF
THE RESIDENT TO THE PARK OWNER.
THEY WILL CUT THE RESIDENTS OUT
OF THE LOOP THE PRESIDENT
DOESN'T GET THE EMAIL. THAT ALSO
WORKS THE OPPOSITE WAY IF THE
RESIDENT WRITES AN EMAIL AND
COPIED ME THE PARK OWNER WILL
COP WILL CUT ME OUT OF THE LOOP
IT'S COMPLETELY UNWORKABLE. AND
THEY WILL SAY WELL MARTHA WILL
EITHER TALK TO YOU WITHOUT THE
RESIDENT ARE WILL TALK TO THE
RESIDENTS WITHOUT YOU. SO I SEE
THIS IS A REALLY POSITIVE THING
TO SOLVE PROBLEMS IN THE PARK
THAT AND THERE ARE PARKS THAT
LET BOTH THE RESIDENTS. AND THE
RAP I TO THE MEETINGS WE WORK
THINGS. AND IT HAVE TO ASK AND
BY THE WAY I HAVE NEVER HAD A
SINGLE CASE. AND I'VE HANDLED
HUNDREDS OF THEM WERE IN
ATTORNEY HAS COME INTO THE TO
THE MEETINGS. IT'S JUST IT'S
JUST ME AS A NON LEGAL UNPAID
ADVOCATE. SO I HOPE THAT ANSWERS
YOUR YOUR QUESTION- IT DOES- I
MEAN IF IT'S SOMETHING IF IT'S
COMMUNICATION BY EMAIL THAT CAN
ALWAYS BE FORTY ANNOYING BUT I
CAN ALWAYS BE FORWARDED THE
IMPORTANT POINT I THINK IS THAT.
ANY AN OWNER AND THEIR
REPRESENTATIVES ARE ON THE SAME
PAGE AGAIN IN THE SAME SENSE OF
INFORMATION THEY CAN DECIDE. HOW
TO PROCEED- THREE DISAGREEMENTS
HOPEFULLY TOGETHER- IN HI.
CERTAINLY WOULD LIKE TO. AND SEE
THE LAW TIGHTENS THE THAT THAT
WOULD BE REQUIRED THAT THEY
WOULD BE A TO PARTICIPATE. IN
SUCH MEETINGS TOGETHER- YOU'LL
BE BEYOND THAT IS THERE ANYTHING
WITH THE SCOPE OF THE BILL AND
THEN I'M SORRY I'M I'M STILL
FUNDAMENTALLY NOT UNDERSTANDING
WHY THAT'S- WHAT THAT'S A
DISAGREEABLE THINGS. WELL IF
CHRIS WAS SECOND FROM WMA THE
EXISTING AMARILLO ALREADY DEALS
WITH MOST OF THIS ALL RIGHT. SO-THAT'S WHY WE JUST WE FAIL TO
UNDERSTAND WHY THE BILL IS EVEN
NECESSARY. YEAH AND I WOULD JUST
ADD ASSEMBLY MEMBER I MEAN THAT
WE DO I THINK HAVE A LITTLE BIT
OF A DIFFERENCE OF OPINION. IN
TERMS OF THE VALUE AND PURPOSE
OF THE EXISTING LAW VERSUS WHAT
IS BEING AMENDED HERE TODAY- YOU
KNOW AND AGAIN AGAIN I'LL
REITERATE WHERE I STARTED WHICH
IS WE DO APPRECIATE THE
AMENDMENTS THAT WERE TAKEN TODAY
BUT- THE- THE EXISTING LAW. AS
PARK OWNERS IS THAT WE REPRESENT
VIEW IT. IS ABOUT HAVING
CONSTRUCTIVE CONVERSATION AND-
IN A NON LITIGIOUS ENVIRONMENT
AND OF COURSE WE JUST HEARD FROM
AN ADVOCATE BUT THE OTHER PEOPLE
WHO WILL WE ARE EXPANDING THIS
TO IN THE BILL. OUR ATTORNEYS
WHO REPRESENT INDIVIDUAL
RESIDENTS EXISTING LAW IS QUITE
CLEAR THAT REPRESENTATIVES OF
GROUPS OF RESIDENTS. PARK OWNERS
MUST MEET WITH BUT NOT
REPRESENTATIVES IN INDIVIDUAL
RESIDENTS. THIS IS NOT A LEGAL
PROCEEDING IT'S SIMPLY A MEET
AND CONSULT THE IDEA IS TO HAVE
CONSTRUCTIVE DIALOGUE BETWEEN
THE RESIDENT. THE PARK OWNER IT
DOESN'T CHANGE ANY OF THE
RESIDENTS LEGAL REMEDIES AFTER
THE FACT. AND SO FROM OUR
PERSPECTIVE YOU KNOW THERE IS A
RISK THAT THE DISCUSSION BECOMES
MORE LITIGIOUS IT IF A PARK
OWNERS COMPELLED TO MEET. WITH A
RESIDENT AND THE RESIDENTS. I
MEAN FOR AS AT THE ALLOWED INTO
THIS BILL SIMPLY THE RESIDENTS
ATTORNEY AS A DESIGNATED
REPRESENTATIVE. THEY ARE LIKELY
OF COURSE TO BRING IN THEIR OWN
COUNSEL AND AGAIN WE BELIEVE
THAT THE CONVERSATION WILL BE
MUCH MORE LITIGIOUS AND THE RISK
OF LITIGATION IS MUCH HIGHER IN
THE RIGHT. FRAME LIKE HAVING
TONE OF CONVERSATION THAT- HI-
SO I'LL- BE. THE COURTESY TO.
THE- THING THAT WORRIED ME TO AS
A IMMEDIATE SORRY BUT THE LAW
BUT ALSO AND- REAR BY THIS YOU
KNOW- IN IN ALL FAIRNESS- YOU
YOU KNOW IS THERE OR SHOULD
THERE BE NO A LIMIT TO REQUEST
SAID IF SOMEBODY IS- WANTS TO
YOU KNOW HOW HAS IT HAS A
GRIEVANCE AND YOU KNOW THEY WANT
TO FILE A CLAIM THAT MST BE
RESPONDED TO AND THEN NEXT WEEK
THEY FILED A CLAIM IN THE WEEK
AFTER THAT THE FOLLOWING OTHER
CLAIM IS THERE. YOU KNOW- YOU
KNOW LIKE I SAID SORT OF A FAIR
WAY OF- MAKING SHORT AND SHIP
THAT THAT WE ARE- NOT BEING
TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF THE
ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS UNDER
THIS BILL- THAT THAT PRESENT YOU
KNOW JUST A YOU KNOW A FURTHER
ON HEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS THINGS
TO THINK THROUGH I'M GLAD TO SEE
THAT YOU'RE ALREADY WORKING WITH
THEM ON SOME OF THEIR- ISSUES
AND WANT TO TAKE AMENDMENTS- AND
YOU KNOW LIKE ANYTHING WE DO
HERE IS WANT TO MAKE SURE THIS
IS- YOU KNOW SOMETHING IS GOING
TO. IMPLEMENT CORRECTLY AND BE
PROVEN FOR ALL PARTIES SELL ALL
BE HAPPY TO SUPPORT TODAY AND
WATCHES. GOING FORWARD. THANK
YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FROM
COMMITTEE THEM. AND WE'VE XIN.
SO IF MISTER KALRA AND SET. MISC
WITH THAT I HAVE IS FOR THE
MOVING OUT OF COMMITTEE AND GO
AHEAD AND TAKE ALL. I WAS SORRY
WHICH LIKE TO CLOSE THEIR THEIR
FAVORITE IS. MY I A PRE THE-
FROM THE OPPOSITION AND IT IS
WITHIN MY PORTFOLIO WORK TO
EXPAND ACCESS IS PRINCIPLES
LANDING GROUND ACT FORWARDING
ALL SORTS OF REFORMS MAKE SURE.
EVERYTHING'S ACCESSIBLE TO
PEOPLE ON THIS REALLY IS THE
SAME PART OF IT IS TO MAKE SURE
THAT SIMULTANEOUSLY MOBILE HOME
PARK RESIDENTS AND THEIR
ADVOCATES THE REPRESENT OF
WHOEVER THE HIGH AND CAN. CAN
ALSO BE THE MOBILE HOME PARK
OWNER- BY NATURE OF THESE FOLKS
WHO ARE IT'S USUALLY LOWER
INCOME OR OLDER YOU KNOW NOT
LOOKING FOR LITIGATION THE
LOOKING FOR SOLUTIONS ISSUE AND
I TRULY BELIEVE THAT WHEN THEY
GET SOMEONE ELSE INVOLVED IT'S
WHEN THEY FEEL LIKE THEY NEED
SOMEONE ELSE TO HELP BALANCE OUT
THE EQUATION OF THE POWER
BALANCE. SO THAT'S REALLY WHAT
THIS BILL IS ABOUT NOT SEEKING
OUT MORE PROBLEMS BUT REALLY
MISSING SOLUTIONS FOR FOLKS. IS
PART IN ERIC AND I'LL CALL
PUBLIC IF YOU WORK ON THIS BILL
AND- ASK DR. THANK YOU. THE
MOTION. TO PAY. IN THE- WEEKS I
WEEKS I SAY ARE. YOUR TO KNOW.
COULD CARILLO I. GAVE GABRIEL I
CALL. COLOR HI KILEY. KILEY NO
QUIRK-SILVA. WARD WART I. THANK
YOU TO. THAT BILLS FIVE TO TWO
ITS OUT BUT WE BELIEVE IT OPEN.
FOR OTHER FOLKS TO ADD ON
ANYTHING WITH THAT NEXT WE'RE-
GOING TO SEE- HERE MR GABRIEL'S-
EIGHTY NINETEEN NINETY ONE.
ALL RIGHT THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR
COMMITTEE MEMBERS AND I WANT TO

AND RESIDE TEMPORARILY IN HOTELS
MOTELS OR OTHER SITES. MANY
HOTELS AND MOTELS ARE FORCED TO
pREMOVE PEOPLE FROM ROOMS EVERY
FOUR WEEKS TO AVOID POTENTIALLY
CREATING A LANDLORD TENANT
RELATIONSHIP. THE SHUFFLING
PROCESS BY UNIT OWNERS IS
PARTICULARLY DISRUPTIVE TO
FAMILIES IN THESE PROGRAMS WHO
MUST FIND NEW HOUSING EVERY
THIRTY DAYS. THESE PRACTICES
ALSO NECESSARILY CONSUME
RESOURCES A PROGRAM
ADMINISTRATORS WHO MUST SEARCH
FOR OTHER HOUSING. IN OTHER
CASES MOTELS AND HOTELS DO NOT
WANT TO PARTICIPATE IN SHELTER
PROGRAMS OUT OF CONCERN THEY
WILL STAB US LANDLORD TENANT
RELATIONSHIPS LIMIT SENSIBILITY
OF AVAILABLE PROPERTIES FOR USE
IN OKLAHOMA SERVICES. AB
NINETEEN NINETY ONE CRATES
PROTECTION FOR VULNERABLE
INDIVIDUALS EXPERIENCING
HOMELESSNESS AND PROVIDES
LANDLORD TENANT CRAPPIE FOR
THOSE PROGRAMS. THIS BILL WOULD
PER YOU KNOW OWNERS FROM
IMPLEMENTING TERMINATION
POLICIES THAT SPECIFICALLY
TARGET SHELTER PARTICIPANTS THIS

PROCESS. AND ENSURES THAT VERY
AFFORDABLE INDIVIDUALS ARE NOT
TERMINATED FOR PROGRAMS

CALIFORNIA'S SEVERE LACK OF
AFFORDABLE HOUSING DRIVES OUR
HOMELESSNESS CRISIS WHERE A
PERSON WOULD HAVE TO MAKE THIRTY
ONE DOLLARS AN HOUR. TO AFFORD A

SHOWS THAT DIRECT RENTAL

TWENTY THREE NINETEEN IS A
DISTRICT BILL SEEKING A SIMPLE
FIX WITH A COMPLICATED WITHIN A
COMPLICATED ISSUE AREA THE
SURPLUS LAND ACT IN NINETEEN
NINETY SEVEN THE ALAMEDA NAVAL
STATION AC AIR STATION WAS
CLOSED AS PART OF THE BASE
REALIGNMENT AND CLOSURE PROCESS
IN THE FOLLOWING YEARS BLAND NOW
KNOWN AS ALAMEDA POINT WAS
CONVEYED TO THE CITY OF ALAMEDA
IN ACCORDANCE ITH THE FEDERALLY
APPROVED. FOR USE PLANS.
ADDITIONALLY THE CITY OF ALAMEDA
ENTERED INTO A LIKE LEGAL
SETTLEMENTS IN TWO THOUSAND ONE
TO DEDICATE TWENTY FIVE PERCENT.
OF THE HOUSING ON ALAMEDA POINT
AS PERMANENTLY AFFORDABLE TO
VERY LOW LOW AND MODERATE INCOME
FAMILIES. UNFORTUNATELY WHILE
THE DEVELOPMENT AT ALAMEDA POINT
HAS OVERCOME LITIGATION AND A
LOCAL BALLOT MEASURE. THE LATEST
ROADBLOCK WAS THE WELL
INTENTIONED AMENDMENTS TO THE
SURPLUS LAND ACT IN AB FOURTEEN
EIGHTY SIX OF TWENTY NINETEEN.
APPLYING THE SURPLUS LAND ACT
ALAMEDA POINT HAS CAUSED FURTHER
DELAYS TO PLANNED DEVELOPMENTS.
AND HAS CREATED UNCERTAINTY WITH
REGARDS TO BUILDING LEASED OUT
FOR. COMMERCIAL ENTERPRISES AB
TWENTY THREE NINETEEN WOULD
PROVIDE A VERY NARROW EXEMPTION
TO THE SURPLUS LAND ACT FOR
ALAMEDA POINT. AND IN DOING SO
PROVIDE CLARITY IN A PATH
FORWARD FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING
AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT FOR THE
CITY OF ALAMEDA. THANK YOU AND
AS WITNESSES WITH ME TODAY I
HAVE LISA MAXWELL FROM THE
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR
WITH THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
DIRECTOR FOR THE CITY OF
ALAMEDA. AND A BIG WHO IS
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF ALAMEDA
POINT COLLABORATIVE. GOOD
AFTERNOON MADAM CHAIR AND
MEMBERS. THE. THANK YOU FOR THE
OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK IN SUPPORT
OF AB TWENTY THREE NINETEEN
TODAY MY NAME IS LISA MAXWELL
AND I'M THE COMMUNITY
DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR FOR THE
CITY OF ALAMEDA. ALAMEDA IS A
SMALL ISLAND COMMUNITY IN SAN
FRANCISCO BAY AREA THAT WAS
PREVIOUSLY HOME TILL IN THE
NAVAL AIR STATION UNTIL NINETEEN
NINETY SEVEN. WE REFER TO IT AS
ALAMEDA POINT THAT THE CLOSURE
OF THE NAVAL AIR STATION-
NEGOTIATIONS WERE ENTERED INTO
WITH THE NAVY AND THEY- BASE
REUSE PLAN WAS CREATED- BUT
STILL IS IN EFFECT TODAY AND WE
STILL OPERATE ACCORDING TO IT-
THE BASE THREE YEARS PLAN
REQUIRES ALAMEDA. TO BE A MIXED
DEVELOPMENT PROPERTY THAT
INCLUDES HOUSING. COMMERCIAL
USES TO SPUR ECONOMIC
DEVELOPMENT OPEN SPACE AND WE'VE
BEEN WORKING DILIGENTLY TO
IMPLEMENT THIS PLAN FOR THE LAST
TWENTY YEARS. AS NOTED IN TWO
THOUSAND NINETEEN THE SENATE
SURPLUS LANDS ACT WAS AMENDED
AND UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCE OF
THIS AMENDMENT WAS THAT FORMER
MILITARY BASES LIKE ALAMEDA
POINT. ARE MADE SUBJECT TO THE
SURPLUS LANDS ACT THIS REQUIRES
THE CITY TO PUT EACH PARCEL AT
ALAMEDA POINT THROUGH A TIME
CONSUMING SURPLUS PROCESS BEFORE
DEVELOPMENT CAN CONTINUE. THIS
MONEY CAN UNINTENDED
CONSEQUENCES MATERIAL TO THE
CITY BECAUSE THE LAND THAT WAS
TRANSFERRED FROM THE CITY TO THE
NAVY IS NOT SURPLUS LAND FOR
WHICH THE CITY HAS NO USE. AND
SAID THE ALAMEDA POINT LAND IS
ALREADY SUBJECT TO A LEGALLY
BINDING AGREEMENT THAT WAS PUT
IN PLACE WITH THE NAVY IN TWO
THOUSAND. AND PLAN FOR
COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT- IN
CONNECTION WITH THE BASE REDUCE
PLANT. REVENUES THAT ARE
GENERATED BY SALES A LEAKY
LEASING AT ALAMEDA POINT ALLOW
FOR CONTINUED DEVELOPMENT THEY
AMENDMENT HAS DRAMATICALLY
STALLED SALES AND LEASING
LEASING ACTIVITIES. IN FACT
SINCE THE AMENDMENT OF THE
SURPLUS LAND SECOND DURING TWO
THOUSAND TWENTY. NO BUILDINGS AT
ALAMEDA POINT WERE SOLD AND
LEASING ACTIVITY WAS VERY
MINIMAL. IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE
THAT ALL HOUSING DEVELOPMENTS
AND ALAMEDA POINT MUST INCLUDE A
TOTAL OF 25% AFFORDABLE UNITS.
THIS REQUIREMENT HAS BEEN IT
HERE TO CONSISTENTLY SINCE
DEVELOPMENT BANK BEGAN. THE
TESTIMONY OF DOUG BIGGS WITH THE
ELEMENT APPOINT COLLABORATIVE
WILL PROVIDE JUST AN EXAMPLE OF
THE NEGATIVE IMPACT. THAT THE
LEGISLATIVE CHANGE HAS ON THE
HOUSING NEEDS OF RESIDENTS AND
SECURELY MOST VULNERABLE REST.
AB TWO THREE DOT ONE NINETEEN
CREATES A VERY NARROW EXEMPTION
ON THE SURPLUS LANDS ACT TO
ADDRESS THESE ISSUES SOLELY FOR
THE CITY OF ALAMEDA. THIS THIS
EXEMPTION IS NECESSARY SO
DEVELOPMENT ALAMEDA POINT CAN
CONTINUE UNHAMPERED AND WITHOUT
FURTHER DELAY. AS NOTED THE
CITY'S CONTRACTUALLY OBLIGATED
DID HEAR THE BASS YOU REUSE PLAN
WITH THE NAVY AND PURSUE
DEVELOPMENT ALAMEDA POINT
WITHOUT THIS NEAR EXEMPTION THE
CITY MUST CHOOSE BETWEEN
VIOLATING ITS CONTRACT WITH THE
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OR VIOLATING
STATE LAW. NEITHER OF WHICH IS A
VERY APPEALING OPTION FOR THESE
REASONS I RESPECTFULLY ASK YOUR
A VOTE ON AB TWENTY THREE NINE.

AUSTIN'S. PLEASE BONTA THANK YOU
FOR BRINGING THIS LEGISLATION
FORWARD I THINK IT POINTS OUT
THAT WAY AS WELL INTENDED AS
MANY OF OUR BILLS ARE SOMETIMES
ARE UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES AND
THOSE UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES
NEED TO BE DEALT WITH- WITHOUT
DAMAGING THE ORIGINAL INTENT OF
THE LAND OF THE- THEY- MEASURE
OR THAT THE ACT AND THIS IS WHAT
THIS DOES IS VERY NARROW- THERE
ARE MANY CITIES THEY'RE IN THE
SAME SITUATION AS ALAMEDA
ALAMEDA- THAT ARE DEALING WITH
DIFFERENT VERSIONS OF THIS TYPE
OF ISSUE. AND SO I WILL BE
SUPPORTING YOUR BILL TODAY
BECAUSE THIS IMPORTANT PROJECT
FOR ALAMEDA. AND IT'S BEEN ON
THE BOOKS FOR A LONG TIME. AND
THEY NEED TO MOVE THEIR PROJECT
FORWARD AND- SO- APPRECIATE YOU
BRINGING ATTENTION TO IT. AND
LOOK FORWARD TO CASTING A VOTE.
THANK YOU MISTER SAID HER ANYONE

NOT TOTALLY COMMITTED TO WORKING
WITH LABOR TO MAKE SURE THAT WE
ANSWERED AT THE PROVISIONS AS

REALLY HAPPY TO MOVE THE BILL

SAY OCTOBER. HI CARILLO. I
GABRIEL. GABRIEL I KALRA. KALRA
AYE KILEY QUIRK-SILVA PORT PORT
I. THE BILL SIX ZERO IT'S OUT OF
LEAVE IT OPEN FOR ADDITIONAL
FOLKS OUT ON. OKAY WE NOW HAVE.
MISTER YEAH MISTER. WHAT WHY
DON'T WE GO WITH MISTER STATO.
MISTER VICE CHAIR'S GONNA.
PRESENT. MEMBERS WILL BE ABLE TO
DO THAT YOUR. VERY TIMELY IN THE
ORDER- ON WHEELCHAIR I'M HERE TO
PRESENT AB SEVENTEEN FORTY EIGHT
. AB SEVENTEEN FORTY EIGHT SEEKS
TO INCENTIVIZE CITIES TO MEET
CERTAIN HOSING GOALS BY
REWARDING THEM WITH MORE
FLEXIBILITY IN THEIR CITY
PLANNING WHEN THEY MEET THESE
HOUSING GOALS THIS BERYL BILL
NARROWLY TARGETS LAND THAT WOULD
NOT BE BENEFICIAL FOR HOUSING
DEVELOPMENT AND PROVIDES A
CARROT FOR CITIES WHO MEET THEIR
ANNUAL. OUR HAVE MET THEIR
ANNUAL HOUSING NEEDS. OUR
NUMBERS AND INCLUDING LOW INCOME
HOUSING. WHILE LARGE CITIES WITH
NEARLY FULLY DEVELOPED ARE THAT
ARE NEARLY FULLY DEVELOP
STRUGGLE TO PROVIDE MORE HOUSING
IN COLLABORATION WITH THE STATE
NEEDS MASTER PLAN CITIES HAVE
CAREFULLY MAPPED OUT THERE
HOUSING AND BUSINESS AREAS. THIS
BILL WILL ALLOW IN VERY RARE IN
PRESCRIPTIVE CASES A CITY TO USE
THIS LAND FOR OTHER PURPOSES
THAT OTHERWISE WOULD NOT BE
HELPFUL OR USEFUL. SO I WANTED
TO TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT IN
PLAIN ENGLISH WHAT THIS BILL WHY
THIS BILL IS NECESSARY AS THE
SURPLUS LAND ACT YOU KNOW- HAS
PUT CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS ON LAND
THAT CITIES HAVE. MAY BE HELD
FOR A WHILE- THAT CITIES MAY USE
FOR- DOING A LAND LEASE- THAT IS
NOT RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT. AND
SO WHAT THIS ALLOWS THEM TO DO
IF THEY ARE MEETING THEIR
HOUSING NEEDS. IS TO DEVELOP
THOSE. THOSE ARE TO ALLOW THOSE
DIVINE TO GO FORWARD BECAUSE
THIS LAND. WOULD NOT ORDINARILY
BE- IT'S NOT GOING TO GET
DEVELOPED IF THE CITY IS HOLDING
IT AND IT'S AN SAY CIVIC CENTER
AREA AND THE PLAN FOR THE CITY
WAS TO HOLD THIS AND USE THE
LAND LEASE TO HAVE ADDITIONAL
DEVELOPMENT FOR OFFICE AND WHICH
PROVIDES JOBS AND IT PROVIDES
JOBS FOR BOTH WHEN THE
CONSTRUCTION HAPPENS AND ALSO
AFTERWARDS AND IT PROVIDES
SUPPORT OF JOBS. AND SERVICES
FOR THEIR SURROUNDING AREAS
WHICH HAVE AFFORDABLE HOUSING IN
THEM- THE- THIS TYPE OF LAND AND
THAT'S WHY THIS BILL IS SO
NARROWLY WRITTEN. THIS TYPE OF
LAND WOULD NOT BE USED. IT WOULD
NOT BE OFFERED IT WOULD NEVER BE
OFFERED UP BECAUSE THE CITY'S
CAN'T AFFORD TO HAVE THAT LAND
TURNED INTO SOMETHING THAT.
ABSOLUTELY OBLITERATES THEY'RE
PLANNING FOR A DOWNTOWN CIVIC
CENTER TYPE SPACE. AND THIS
WOULD NORMALLY I WOULD SAY WOULD
I WOULD NORMALLY MAKE THIS A
DISTRICT BILL IF I COULD BECAUSE
I'M VERY FAMILIAR WITH ONE OF
THE CITIES THAT. ARE BROUGHT
THIS FORWARD AND I'M FAMILIAR
WITH IT BECAUSE- TWENTY YEARS
AGO- I WAS INVOLVED IN THE
PLANNING FOR THIS COMMUNITY.
TWENTY FIVE YEARS AGO AND THIS
WAS PART OF THAT PLAN WAS
INSTEAD OF BURDENING THE
TAXPAYERS BY TAKING OUT BONDS IN
BUILDING THESE ADDITIONAL OFFICE
SPACE. THE LUCK OF THE LAND FOR
THE CIVIC CENTER WOULD HOUSE THE
POLICE STATION LIBRARY SENIOR
CITIZEN CENTER CITY HALL AND
THEN THE LAND LEASES WOULD BE
ABLE TO HELP PAY FOR THE BONDS
FOR THOSE OTHERS. AND IN THE
MEANWHILE THIS AREA IS OUR OUR-
GUITAR JONES FOR. HIGHER DENSITY
DEVELOPMENT. WHEN WE SPOKE WITH
OTHER CITIES ABOUT THIS THEY
WERE HAVING THE SAME TYPES OF
ISSUES. SO WE REALLY NARROWLY
CRAFTED THIS. SO THAT IT WOULD
ONLY BE ABLE TO BE ACCESSED. AND
USED IF CITIES WERE MEETING
THEIR HOUSING NEEDS AND ALSO
WHICH INCLUDE THE AFFORDABLE
HOUSING ELEMENT. IN THIS
PARTICULAR INSTANCE THERE'S
AFFORDABLE HOUSING RIGHT ACROSS
THE STREET AND THERE'S MORE
AFFORDABLE HOUSING WHICH I
TALKED ABOUT EARLIER- JUST DOWN
AROUND THE BLOCK FROM HERE. THIS
CIVIC CENTER WAS MEANT TO DO
THAT IN OTHER CITIES THAT ARE
DEVELOPING LIKE OUR CITY HAS
BEEN IN MARIETTA. ARE HAVING THE
SAME ISSUES. SO WE CAN NARROWLY
CRAFTED BILL THAT HELPS THEM GET
PAST THAT HURDLE. WE CAN GET
THOSE LANDS USE USABLE FOR THOSE
COMMUNITIES SO THAT THE EXIST-
THE BUILDING OF THE OTHER- THE
REST OF THE HOUSING PART IS
SUPPORTED BY THAT THAT VERY
DEVELOPMENT. SO THAT'S WHY I
BROUGHT THIS BILL- READING THE
BILL LANGUAGE IT'S VERY
CONVOLUTED IT'S VERY HARD TO
UNDERSTAND BECAUSE- WE HAD TO
CHANGE IT INTO. YOU KNOW BILL
LANGUAGE I GUESS. AND BUT WHAT
IT DOES IS JUST ALLOW CITIES. TO
HAVE THAT SMALL EXEMPTION IN
VERY PARTICULAR CASES. JUST LIKE
THE PREVIOUS ONE WE JUST HAD IT
WAS A PARTICULAR CASE THAT
THAT'S HOW YOU SOLVE THE
PROBLEM. AND SO WITH THAT. I DO
HAVE ON BEHALF OF THE LEAGUE
CALIFORNIA CITIES ASSISTANT
DIRECTOR. JASON RYAN WHO'S GOING
TO TESTIFY HELLO MADAM CHAIR
MEMBERS SAID JASON RILEY
CALIFORNIA CITIES A GIVEN LATE
HOUR OF GRIEF. WE BELIEVE THIS
BILL MAKES A LOT OF SENSE I
THINK THE ONE THING THAT WE NEED
TO KEEP IN MIND IS THAT. IT IS
NEARLY TAYLOR LIKE THE AUTHOR
HAS MENTIONED- IT IT'S ONLY
GOING TO PROVIDE THE FEXIBILITY
TO JURISDICTIONS THAT ARE
MEETING OR EXCEEDING THEIR
PROGRESS TOWARDS ARENA ON THE
GOALS OF THE STATE HAS GIVEN US
A CITY'S GONNA HAVE TO BE VERY
VERY AGGRESSIVE NOT ONLY. IN
REMOVING BARRIERS AT THE LOCAL
LEVEL BUT THEY'RE GONNA HAVE TO
ACTIVELY SEEK ALL SORTS OF
FUNDING IN ORDER TO GET THOSE
AFFORDABLE HOUSING UNITS BUILT.
HISTORY SHOWN- THAT NOT VERY
MANY JURISDICTIONS EVEN THROUGH
THE BEST INTENT. CAN HAVE
PROGRESS AT ALL INCOME LEVELS-
WE BELIEVE THIS IS AN
APPROPRIATE INCENTIVE BASED
PROGRAM A TO GET CITIES TO DO
EVERYTHING IN THEIR POWER AS
POSSIBLE TO GET AFFORDABLE
UNITS- CONSTRUCTING THEIR
COMMUNITIES AND IF THEY DO
THEY'RE GONNA GET VERY VERY
MODEST FLEXIBILITY ON THE
SURPLUS LANDS ACT. WITH THAT WE
ASK YOUR ABOUT. THANK YOU TO
HAVE ANYONE ELSE IN THE ROOM HAD
LIKE TO EXPRESS OUR- FOR AB
SEVENTEEN FORTY EIGHT. GO TO THE
PHONE LINES OPERATOR SUPPORT FOR
AB SEVENTEEN FORTY EIGHT. IF YOU
WISH TO SPEAK IN SUPPORT OF
SEVENTEEN FORTY EIGHT PLEASE
PRESS ONE THEN ZERO PRESS ONE
THEN ZERO. WE HAVE AT LEAST ONE
PERSON WHO SIGNALED THAT THEY
WISH TO SPEAK. JUST A MOMENT.
GOING TO GO TO LINE. TWO THIRTY.
GET ACTING CHAIR MEMBERS THE
HOUSING AND COMMUNITY
DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE WE LOCK A
FELLOW REPRESENTING FIFTEEN
MARIETTA AND WE REQUEST YOUR
SUPPORT ON AB SEVENTEEN FORTY
EIGHT AND APPRECIATE OUR STOCK
NUMBER FOR BRING THIS ITEM
FORWARD. THANK YOU. THERE'S NO
ONE ELSE TO SIGNAL THAT THEY
WISH TO SPEAK. GREAT WILL BRING
IT BACK HERE- TO HAVE ANY
WITNESSES IN OPPOSITION TO AB
SEVENTEEN FORTY EIGHT. THANK YOU
COMMITTEE MEMBERS MY NAME'S EVAN
T. AS IN ON THE POLICY DIRECTOR
WITH THE NONPROFIT HOUSING
ASSOCIATION OR IN CALIFORNIA.
AND IN PICTURES AND AROUND SEVEN
HUNDRED OR SO FOR THE HOUSING
BUILDERS ADVOCATES AND COMMUNITY
LEADERS. AND RESPECTFUL POSITION
AB SEVENTEEN FORTY EIGHT WE
APPRECIATE EFFORTS TO CREATE
INCENTIVES FOR MEETING ARENA
REQUIREMENTS. CREATING
EXEMPTIONS IN THE SURPLUS LAND
ACT. IS UNDER MY IS VERY SENATE
PARTS TO ME ARE FOR THE HOUSE
GOALS. THE STATE SURPLUS LAND
ACT AS A LANDMARK FIFTY ALONG
THAT OF THE LAST FEW YEARS
LEGISLATURE STRENGTH STRENGTH-
TO ENSURE THAT WERE ABLE TO ME
ARE AFFORDABLE HOUSING GOALS.
AND RECOGNIZING THAT THAT LAND
PRICES ARE AT A PREMIUM AND THAT
IN THIS ENVIRONMENT
JURISDICTIONS HAVE A REALLY BIG
ROLE TO PLAY. AND WE APPRECIATE
THEM AS GOOD PARTNERS IN MAKING
THE MOST USE OF THESE RESOURCES
FOR HOUSING SOLUTIONS. THE
BILL'S REQUIREMENTS FOR THE
EXEMPTION HAVE A COUPLE OF
CONSTRAINT PRECEDENCE FOR US.
WHILE THE BILL DOES FOCUS ON
LAND THAT'S ZONED TO THIRTY
RESIDENTIAL UNITS. AND THIS MAY
NOT SMUGGLERS OF. DISTILLED OF
LUCK BETTER ACTIVE INTEREST
AFFORDABLE HOUSING DEVELOPERS
INCLUDINGSOME OF OUR MEMBERS OF
OUR MEMBERS AND OTHER PARTS OF
THE STATE AS WELL. A COMMUNITY
LAND TRUST AND I DON'T DO WE
SHOULD BE TAKEN OFF THE TABLE
ADDITIONALLY THE DENSITY
MISSILES THE LEGISLATURE PROVEN
LAST FEW YEARS THEY ALLOW US TO
ADD MORE UNITS THESE PARCELS
WHERE THEY WORK- BEYOND THE
THIRTY UNITS AND HE'S PROCESS
COULD HOUSE DOZENS OF LOW INCOME
FAMILIES AND WE CAN'T REALLY
AFFORD TO LET THEM SLIP BY
DURING THE HOUSING CRISIS. AND
LASTLY THE BILL SPECIFIES ANY
LOCALITY THAT'S MADE ANNUAL
PROGRESS TOWARDS ARENAS. I
PASSED. AWAY FOR. SO AND
APPRECIATE THE- NEED TO PROGRESS
ON THESE. BOLTS REWARDING THEM
FOR FONG TATE HOUSING LAW BY
EXENDIN EXEMPTING THEM FROM
OTHER STATE HOUSING LAWS. IS NOT
A WORTHWHILE POLICY TRADE OFF.
WE NEED ALL THE TOOLS AND
RESOURCES AT OUR DISPOSAL FOR TO
MAKE A DENT IN THE HOUSING
CRISIS NOT JUST IN THIS CYCLE
BUT IN FUTURE CYCLES AS WELL WE
WANT TO SHOW YOU HOW THESE
POLICIES AVAILABLE FOR US TO
CONSIDER. AND IF IT DOESN'T WORK
THEY'LL BE PARTNERSHIP WITH THE
LOCAL GOVERNMENTS TO FIGURE OUT
WHAT WORKS BEST THERE- WE THINK
THERE ARE OTHER BETTER KINDS OF
INCENTIVES WE CAN SUPPORT
WHETHER THAT BE INCREASED
FUNDING FOR CITIES OR STATE
GRANTS. AND AS WE FACE A STARK
HOUSING CRISIS AND WE HAVE A
SHORTAGE OF A MILLION PLUS
AFFORDABLE HOMES THAT WE NEED TO
CREATE- WE NEED TO PROTECT AND
STRENGTHEN THE SLA. AND ARCADE
EXEMPTIONS TO APPRECIATE
CONSIDERATION TODAY I APPRECIATE
THE INTENT OF THE AUTHOR- BUT
FOR THOSE REASONS WE ASK HEARING
OF IT TODAY. THANK YOU. THANK
YOU ANY OTHER FOLKS IN THE ROOM
WHAT WISH EXPRESSED OPPOSITION

JUST A LITTLE CONCERNED THAT
IT'S SORT OF REWARDING THE- CAN
I CLOSE YES WHAT DO YOU CLOSER
THANK YOU I APPRECIATE THAT MR.
SO THIS BILL IS NEARLY TERROR
AND TAILORED ON PURPOSE IT'S
BECAUSE IT IS NARROWLY TAILORED
SO THIS THAT COMMUNITIES THAT
HAVE LANDS THAT FALL INTO THESE
PARTICULAR CASE TYPE OF
SITUATIONS WILL BE ABLE TO MOVE
FORWARD ON USING THOSE PLANS
THEY WILL NEVER BE OFFERED UP
FOR AWHILE HOUSING THE CITY
COMMUNITIES WILL WIND UP HAVING
TO SIT ON THOSE LANDS UNTIL THEY
CAN AFFORD TO BE THE DEVELOPER
THAT BUILDS ALL OF THE-
ANCILLARY OFFICE BUILDINGS AND
OTHER THINGS THAT ARE GOING INTO
A FOR A PROJECT LIKE THAT- AND-
SO. YOU KNOW I RESPECT THE
OPPOSITION'S. CONCERNS THAT IT'S
GOING TO REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF
LAND THAT THEY HAVE AVAILABLE
BUT IN AREAS OUT IN- VIA IN MY
COMMUNITIES WE HAVE A LOT OF
LAND AVAILABLE AND IT'S- A LOT
OF THAT LAND. IS ZONED FOR THEM
TO BE ABLE TO BUILD. AFFORDABLE
HOUSING AFFORDABLE HOUSING ISN'T
NECESSARILY BEING HELD UP. BY
NOT HAVING THE LAND IT'S BEING
HELD UP BY A PROCESS AND WE
TALKED ABOUT THAT THIS MORNING.
SO I UNDERSTAND THEIR CONCERNS
THIS IS NOT A AN ATTACK ON THE
ACT. IT IS SIMPLY TRYING TO TAKE
CARE OF SOME OF THE UNINTENDED
CONSEQUENCES SO THAT EVERYBODY
BENEFITS INCLUDING THE PEOPLE
WHO WIND UP LIVING IN THE
ADJACENT AFFORDABLE HOUSING
UNITS THAT ARE AROUND. AREAS
LIKE THIS SO WITH THAT I DO ASK
