REMOTE PUBLIC TESTIMONY- WE WILL

FOR EXAMPLE A COMMON- SO-
CALIFORNIA AS WE KNOW IS IN THE
MIDST OF A CRIPPLING HOUSING
CRISIS. AND ITS IMPACTS ARE FELT
ACROSS THE ENTIRE STATE WE KNOW
THE BIGGEST DRIVER OF THIS
CRISIS IS THAT WE SIMPLY DON'T
HAVE ENOUGH HOMES. AVAILABLE OR
AFFORDABLE FOR PEOPLE WHO NEED
THEM ACROSS THE INCOME SPECTRUM.
IN FACT THAT OUR DEPARTMENT OF
HOUSING AND COMMUNITY
DEVELOPMENT. ESTIMATES THAT
CALIFORNIA MUST PLAN FOR THE
DEVELOPMENT OF MORE THAN TWO
POINT FIVE MILLION HOMES. OVER
THE NEXT EIGHT YEARS WITH A
MILLION OF THOSE. HOMES BEING
AFFORDABLE FOR LOWER INCOME
HOUSEHOLDS. OVER THE LAST HALF
CENTURY CALIFORNIA HAS MADE IT
IMPOSSIBLE TO HAVE ENOUGH.
HOUSING FOR EVERYONE WHO NEEDS
IT. WITH A COMBINATION OF LOCAL-
PERMITTING OBSTACLES ZONING
BARRIERS- OPPOSITION TO CHANGING
NEIGHBORHOODS. A HISTORY OF
SEGREGATION AND EXCLUSION.
INCREASED CONSTRUCTION COSTS AND
OTHER FACTORS HAVE COMBINED. TO
CREATE THIS DEBILITATING-
SHORTAGE. WE ALSO KNOW THAT OUR
HOUSING CRISIS AND MARK
AFFORDABLE HOUSING. IS DIRECTLY
RELATED TO THE HIGH RATE OF
HOMELESSNESS IN CALIFORNIA.
CALIFORNIA'S 12% OF THE NATION'S
POPULATION. YEAH WE ARE 30% OF
NATION'S ON HOUSE POPULATION AND
ONE HOUSE OF THE NATION'S ON
SHELTERED. ALMOST POPULATION
THAT'S NOT RANDOM SITES NOT
BECAUSE WE HAVE MORE MENTAL
HEALTH OR ADDICTION PROBLEMS
HERE THAN ELSEWHERE OF THOSE
PROBLEMS ARE EVERYWHERE BECAUSE
HOUSING IS IN SHORT SUPPLY AND
EXORBITANTLY EXPENSIVE HERE. IN
RECENT YEARS THE LEGISLATURE AND
THE GOVERNOR BOTH GOVERNOR BROWN
AND NOW GOVERNOR NEWSOM WE HAVE
FOUR COLLABORATIVELY AND THOUGHT
FULLY AND HOLISTICALLY TO
ADDRESS THESE CHALLENGES AND TO
SUBMIT TO SPUR AND FACILITATE
HOUSING DEVELOPMENT AT ALL
INCOME LEVELS WE HAVE PASSED A
SERIES OF AGGRESSIVE LAWS TO
STREAMLINE. HOUSING APPROVALS.
TO REFORM ZONING TO. REDHOUNDS
EXIST LAWS SUCH AS ARE YOU DO
YOU LAW HOUSING ACCOUNTABILITY
ACT AND SO FORTH WE HAVE
INVESTED BILLIONS UPON BILLIONS
OF DOLLARS IN SUBSIDIZED
AFFORDABLE HOUSING FOR MORE THAN
WE HAD FOR MANY MANY YEARS. AND
WE HAVE PROVIDED SUBSTANTIAL
RESOURCES FOR LOCAL PLANNING AND
HOUSING INFRASTRUCTURE AND
PROVIDE RESOURCES TO EACH CITY
AS WELL AS INCREASED ENFORCEMENT
POWERS THE CITY AND TO THE
DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE. WE'RE
ALREADY SEEING SOME OF THE
RESULTS IT'S NOT AS QUICKLY AS
WE WANT BUT IT IS GRADUALLY
MOVING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.
DO YOU CONSTRUCTION HAS GROWN
EXPONENTIALLY FROM A HANDFUL OF
UNITS PER YEAR TO OVER TEN
THOUSAND PER YEAR. AFFORDABLE
HOUSING DEVELOPMENT APPROACHED
TWENTY THOUSAND UNITS LAST YEAR
WHICH IS DOUBLE- PRIOR ANNUAL
TOTALS. ACCORDING TO THE SAN
FRANCISCO PLANNING DEPARTMENT IN
SAN FRANCISCO ALONE. SINCE
TWENTY EIGHTEEN SENATE BILL
THIRTY FIVE A LAW THAT I
AUTHORED AS EXPEDITED. BY NEARLY
THREE THOUSAND NEW HOMES
OVERWHELMINGLY AFFORDABLE TO LOW
INCOME. RESIDENTS. IT FOR OF
TODAY'S. IS TO TAKE A LOOK BACK
AT THE LAWS WE PASSED HELLO
THERE ARE BEING IMPLEMENTED
WHAT'S WORKING WHAT'S NOT
WORKING WHAT WE COULD TWEAK OR
CHANGE SIGNIFICANTLY TO MAKE IT
WORK BETTER. AND THIS IS A PART
OF OUR EFFORT I KNOW IN THE
SENATE WHERE FOR FOCUS HERE. ON
WHAT WE CALL PROTECTING OUR
PROGRESS LOOKING AT THE WORK
WE'VE DONE IN THE BUDGET AND THE
POLICY ARENA IN RECENT YEARS.
AND REALLY MAKING SURE THAT IT'S
MEETING OUR NEEDS AND THAT WE
ARE PROTECTING THE PROGRESS AND
BUILDING ON THE PROGRESS. THAT
WE'VE MADE SO LOOK FOR TODAY'S
HEARING- YOU KNOW WANT TO TURN
IT OVER- TO THE AMAZING I CHAIR
OF THE ASSEMBLY. HOUSING
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT- COMMITTEE
ASSEMBLY MEMBER WORKS. THANK YOU
SURE WINNER ALSO WON IT- JUST
THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIRELESS WORK
IN THE SPACE- SINCE THE MOMENT
YOU'VE BEEN HERE AND ALL THE
WORK HE DID SAN FRANCISCO PRIOR-
EVEN A TRUE LEADER- IN THIS
SPACE AND YOU KNOW I THINK-
SENATOR WIENER NICELY SUMMARIZED
ISSUES- AND THE GOALS OF TODAY'S
HEARING I JUST WANT TO ADD- THE
SENSE OF URGENCY WE'VE HAD. ONE
OUT OF A HUNDRED AND FIFTY
CALIFORNIANS WILL BE HOMELESS AT
SOME POINT THIS YEAR ONE OUT OF
ONE HUNDRED FIFTY. 80% OF LOW
INCOME RENTERS HAVE TO SACRIFICE
ESSENTIAL NEEDS LIKE FOOD OR
MEDICINE JUST TO PAY. THE RENT
AND ONLY 18% OF CALIFORNIANS CAN
AFFORD TO BUY A HOME. AND THE
REASON FOR THESE PROBLEMS
ACTUALLY IS PRETTY PLAIN AND
SIMPLE IT'S A LACK OF HOUSING.
WE KNOW WE NEED TO PROVIDE
SERVICES TO OUR OWN HOUSE
NEIGHBORS THAT WE KNOW WE NEED
TO PROTECT TENANTS FROM LOSING.
THEIR HOMES YEAH WE KNOW DO WE
NEED TO MAKE HOMEOWNERSHIP. MORE
EFFORT AVAILABLE TO FOLKS BUT
ULTIMATELY THE SOLUTION FOR ALL
THOSE IS MILLIONS OF MORE HOMES.
WE HAVE A DESPERATE NEED YOU
KNOW I CHAIR TO- DEAD JOINT
OVERSIGHT HEARING LAST WEEK- WE
HAD SECRETARY COLLEEN SENATORS
SEPARATE CUSTOMERS AND MANY
OTHERS TALKING ABOUT. THE OVERLY
WHICH IN HOMELESSNESS AND MENTAL
HEALTH CENTER CHALLENGES THAT WE
HAVE TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE. AND
WHAT CAME UP TIME AND TIME AND
TIME AGAIN THAT HEARING. IS THE
NEED. FOR ON GOING FUNDING FOR
AFFORDABLE HOUSING. AND I NEED
TO BUILD MORE HOUSING WE HAVE
BUILD HOUSING THE STATE- WE ARE
MILLIONS OF HOMES SHY OF WHERE
WE NEED TO BE. WE HAVE TO MAKE
IT EASIER TO BUILD THAT HOUSING-
AND I WILL SAY- YOU KNOW WE ARE
WHERE WE ARE RIGHT NOW BECAUSE
OF CONSCIENTIOUS POLICY CHOICES
WE HAVE MADE IN DECADES PRIOR.
THAT HAVE PUT US WHERE WE ARE-
AND YOU KNOW IT'S ONLY BEEN
REALLY THE LAST SEVEN YEARS OF
THE LEGISLATURE HAS REALLY TAKEN
THIS ISSUE. HEAD ON- AND HAS
REALLY FOCUSED ON DOING THE
NECESSARY STREAMLINING THAT WE
KNOW THAT WE NEED TO DO- AS
CHAIR WIENER SAID WE'VE WE'VE
PASSED. YOU KNOW HUNDREDS OF
BILLS THAT JUST NEEDED
STREAMLINING EFFORTS WE'VE PUT
IN BILLIONS OF DOLLARS. TO
ADDRESS THIS CRISIS SO. I'M
LOOKING FORWARD TO THE
CONVERSATION TODAY TO HAVE A
BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF. YOU
KNOW WHAT IT'S BEEN WORKING OUT
WHERE DO WE NEED TO CONTINUE TO
HAVE CHANGE. WHAT ELSE DO WE
NEED TO CONTINUE TO INVEST IN-
AND HERE FROM THE CITY
SPECIFICALLY- THERE ON THE FRONT
LINES OF THIS. AROUND WHAT IS
WORKING FROM THEIR PERSPECTIVE.
I'M ALSO HERE FROM THE
DEVELOPERS WHO ARE TRYING TO- TO
BUILD THE NECESSARY HOUSING THAT
WE HAVE IN OUR COMMUNITIES
AROUND THEIR PERSPECTIVE AND-
ONE OF THE THINGS I REALLY
APPRECIATE ABOUT. THE HOUSING
ISSUE IS IT'S- IT'S NOT A
PARTISAN ISSUE. YOU KNOW
DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS I
THINK CAN COME TOGETHER ON THIS
ISSUE TO FIGURE OUT THE RIGHT
SOLUTIONS- IT'S A- SORT OF THREE
DIMENSIONAL CHESS OFTEN THE
POLITICS AROUND IT- BUT I'M
EXCITED ABOUT THE COLLABORATION.
THAT WE HAVE FROM ALL DIFFERENT
STAKEHOLDERS IN THIS SPACE. I'M
SO I KNOW THAT WE ALL SHARE THE
SAME GOAL. AND THAT IS TO
ENSURE. THAT FUTURE GENERATIONS.
HAVE THE ABILITY TO AFFORD HOMES
AND TO LIVE IN THIS COMMUNITY
AND TO ATTAIN THE AMERICAN DREAM
I KNOW THAT WE ALL BELIEVE IN
THAT- AND FROM MY PERSPECTIVE
THAT MEANS. BUILDING MARK MORE
HOUSING THAT WE NEED SO WITH
THAT I WILL TURN IT BACK TO
CHAIR WIENER. THANK YOU RENDON.
OR DO ONE IS A- US- WHAT. FUTURE
WITH TO SET THE- HAS. BEEN A BI
PARTISAN AND BICAMERAL AT FOR.
THE LAST NUMBER OF YEARS WHICH
IS REFRESHING GIVEN- SOME OF THE
POLITICS OF COURAGEOUS COUNTRY
DISTANCE. SO WE ARE- BEFORE WE
START- IF ANY OF MY- COLLEAGUES
IN THE SENATE. SENATORS ARE SOME
MEMBERS WANT TO MAKE. ANY BRIEF
OPENING REMARKS- YOU'RE WELCOME
TO DO SO OR WAIT. UNTIL WE HAVE
THE PANELS. OKAY SOON. ONE OF.
WE WILL ALL TURN- OF. THE PANEL

RECENT POLICY CHANGES. THAT
AFFORDABLE HOUSING INVESTMENTS.
THE GOAL OF THIS PANEL. IS TO
BETTER UNDERSTAND THE ENORMOUS
AMOUNT OF WORK THAT WE HAVE DONE
IN RECENT YEARS TO ADDRESS THE
HOUSING CRISIS. TO KNOWLEDGE
WINS- WHETHER IT'S READY TO USE
IT TO USERS HOUSING
STREAMLINING. WITH SB THIRTY
FIVE OR OTHER STREAMLINING LAWS.

AFTERNOON THANK YOU. JERRY INNER
CHAIR WICKS FOR YOUR AMAZING
LEADERSHIP- OVER THE LAST
SEVERAL YEARS AND FIFTY FOR
PULLING TOGETHER THIS
CONVERSATION ON- PLASTIC STOCK
OPENED UP BEFORE WE ARE IN
CALIFORNIA. AFTER SEVERAL YEARS
OF SIGNIFICANT ACTIVITY I GET MY
ESTIMATE KEVIN MANAGING DIRECTOR
AT UC BERKELEY TURNER CENTER FOR
HOUSING INNOVATION WE ARE.
COMMITTED TO RIGOROUS RESEARCH
THAT HELPS ADVANCE THE DIALOGUE
AND MOVED THAT THE NEEDLE FROM
POLICY CONVERSATION HERE IN
CALIFORNIA AND NATIONALLY. AND
I'M GONNA SET THE STAGE TODAY
FOR WHAT'S GOING TO FOLLOW- GIVE
YOU A FEW OF MY THOUGHTS AN
HIGHLIGHTS IN TERMS OF WHERE
WE'VE MADE. SUCCESS OF WHERE
WE'VE FALLEN SHORT. LET ME START
BY. ECHOING WHAT WE HEARD THE
TOP OF FROM WIENER. FIRST OF ALL
JUST VOLUME OF LOS PASTOR LAST
SIX YEARS REALLY STAGGERING BY
ANY OBJECTIVE MEASURE SOMEONE
HUNDRED LAWS HAVE BEEN SIGNED.
BY GOVERNOR BROWN THE NEW SOME
MAKING SOME TWO HUNDRED SEVENTY
FIVE CHANGES TO CODE SECTIONS-
THIS IS SUBSTANTIALLY MORE THAN
WE'VE SEEN IN YEARS PAST IT
CERTAINLY MORE LEGISLATING THAT
WE SEE IN OTHER STATES AROUND
THE NATION. AND ALTHOUGH THE
ATTENTION OFTEN GOES TO THE
LEGISLATURE- THE EXECUTIVE
BRANCH THE MINISTER OF AGENCIES
HAVE ALSO BEEN EQUALLY BUSY
WITH. HUNDREDS OF NEW GUIDELINES
NOVAS REGULATIONS- AS WELL AS
SIGNIFICANT INCREASES IN
HEADCOUNT ALL THE STATE HOUSING
AGENCIES. SO WHAT DOES ALL THAT
ADD UP TO- WELL. I'M NOT SURE
INTERNALLY BUT YOU'RE A FEW FEW
THOUGHTS ONE CERTAINLY AS WAS
MENTIONED AT THE TOP IS. THAT WE
HAVE- MEANINGFULLY INCREASED OUR
INVESTMENT DIRECTLY INTO
BUILDING NEW AFFORDABLE HOUSING
SO. MAYBE THINK THIS IS SORT OF
STOPPING THE HEMORRHAGING- OR
HELPING THE MOST VULNERABLE.
EVEN IF WE WERE NOT ADDRESSING
THE SYSTEM ROOT CAUSES. THERE
ARE OUT WE HAVE BEEN SUCCESSFUL
CERTAINLY JUST LOOKING OVER THE
LAST TEN YEARS WE'VE INCREASED
THE SHARE THE NUMBER OF NEW
CONSTRUCTION FORTY HOUSING UNITS
THAT DON'T CALIFORNIA.
DEPARTMENT. TWENTY THOUSAND
UNITS PER YEAR. EVEN AS CAR HAVE
GROWN- CONSISTENTLY ARE
INFLATION- I PROJECT ALWAYS
HAMBURGER BILLION THIS FOR
QUICKLY. BUT WE DELIVER THIS OUR
OF DIFFERENT HOUSING SOURCES.
SMALLEST HERE- BUT TOTALLY UP
WITH LIKE HOME HOUSING SALES.
HELLO HOW DOWN. TO OUR CORE MHP
PROGRAMS TURN CAL HOME AS WELL
AS INVESTMENTS HOME KEY ALL OF
THESE TAKEN TOGETHER. I REALLY
SUPER CHARGED OUR ABILITY TO
BUILD AFFORDABLE HOUSING THE
ALSO ALLOWED US TO FULLY TAKE
ADVANTAGE OF. ALL THE FEDERAL
LOW INCOME HOUSING TAX CREDITS
IT'S GREAT TO SORT OF BE ABLE TO
SAY TODAY THE CALIFORNIA DOES
NOT LEAD ANY. FEDERAL HOUSING
TAX CREDITS ON THE TABLE AS. WAS
THE CASE PROMOTION THE TWENTY
TENDS. THE QUESTION JUST
BUILDING SUPPLY. I SUPPLY MORE.
CAL IS A FUN CANNOT WE ARE VERY
MUCH THE SUSPENDERS CARE OF
PLACE IN THIS THAT. WE BOTH.
HAVE BEEN WORKING AND ARE
WORKING TO. PUSH OUR CITIES TO
MORE AGGRESSIVELY
COMPREHENSIVELY PLANNER. AND
TALK ABOUT WE'VE ALSO BEEN MORE
AGGRESSIVE TERMS GIVING
PRESCRIPTIVE REQUIREMENTS TO THE
SAME CITIES. ARE THE SPECIFIC
THINGS THAT THEY SHOULD CHANGE
THE LOCAL POLICIES. WE SORT- YOU
KNOW COMP HERE OBVIOUSLY A MUCH
HIGHER RENOWNED GOALS THAT HAVE
BEEN HOUSING TARGETS THE BEEN
HANDED DOWN TO CITIES IN
CALIFORNIA IN THE SIX CYCLE.
MUCH STRICTER REQUIREMENTS ON
WHAT CITIES ARE ABLE TO COUNT AS
A VALID SITE YOU KNOW FEWER.
CEMETERIES ARE CHURCH PARKING
LOTS- MORE CREDIBLE SITES NOW OR
OR GOING INTO THE MIX. VERY
SIGNIFICANT AUTHOR HOW OVER
THAT'S ALSO AFFECTING CREW GETS
THE GREEN ALLOCATIONS AND WHICH
SITES ARE IDENTIFIED WHO IS THAT
REALLY A BIG WIN IN TERMS OF-
OPPORTUNITIES FOR BUILDING A
PLACES THAT HAVE THE GREATEST
ACCESS TO OPPORTUNITY. BUT HELP
ADDRESS SOME OF THE START
PATTERSON NATION. AND OF COURSE
WE REALLY DOUBLE DOWN ON
ENFORCEMENT NUMBER OF DIFFERENT
WAYS TO REALLY MAKE SURE THAT
THAT B. IS GOALS THESE PLANS.
ARE ARE REALLY MEANINGFULLY
BEING HELP. CITIES ARE BEING
HELD TO ACCOUNT FOR WORK FOR
DOING THEM. BOB BUT AGAIN IT'S A
IT'S A BROADBAND HERE SO THAT
THE STATE IS ALSO HANDED DOWN
FOR DISTRICT ZONING REQUIREMENTS
TO FORCE THE HAND OF CITIES TO
ACCEPT CERTAIN KINDS OF
HOUSEHOLDS GET BUILT FREQUENTLY
IN THE COMMUNITIES- YOUR- I
THINK YOU KNOW THE- THE TO WHERE
WE REALLY SEE TO SERVE. AS A
REALLY SEEN THE MOST PROGRESS
REALLY ARE IN THE SMALLEST. OF
THE SMALLEST HOUSING NUMBER
HANDY FOR SOME LARGEST
AFFORDABLE HOUSING- ON THE
OTHER- WE'VE SEEN OUR SHARE EDUS
GROW DRAMATICALLY NOW
REPRESENTING ABOUT A FIFTH OF
ALL BUILDING PERMITS ISSUED IN
CALIFORNIA UP FROM. ALL
SURROUNDING ERROR IN ABOUT A
DECADE AGO. BOB WE'VE MADE A
NUMBER OF IMPROVEMENTS JUST TO
MAKE THAT MUCH EASIER- CHEAPER
FASTER MINISTER REALLY APPROVED
OVER THE COUNTER FOR HOMEOWNERS.
SB NINE IS REALLY HARD TO SOON
TO TELL BUT I THINK WE ALSO HAVE
SOME PROBLEMS HERE IN TERMS OF
MAKING IT. EASIER TO ACCESS FROM
OWNERSHIP. I'M IN THE STATE
BONUS LAW- IS ANOTHER GREAT OF
WHERE THE STATE HAS HAS TURNED
OVER A- ALLOWED TO COULD DOES
BUILDING FOR HOUSING TO PEOPLE
AT. GREATER DENSITY TO GET.
ACCESS TO CONCESSIONS TO LOCAL
ZONING TO ALLOW HASN'T HAPPENED
. I'M ANCHORING THE ZONING
REQUIRED. HAS UP WIDE WERE FOR
ACROSS THE TO CITIES DELIVER- ON
THE PLANS THAT THEY HAVE IN
PLACE SO WHETHER THAT'S
STRENGTHENING OF THE HOUSING
ACCOUNTABILITY ACT. TO MAKE IT
MUCH MORE PAINFUL FOR CITIES
WHEN MAY DECLINE TO APPROVE
CONFORMING PROJECTS. OR
STREAMLINING REFORMS SUCH AS
ADULT THIRTY FIVE AND OTHERS
THAT REQUIRE CITIES TO MINISTER
REALLY APPROVE CERTAIN KINDS OF
PROJECTS THAT CONFORMS OWNING.
WE'RE SEEING BROADLY- HE IS FOR-
HOUSING TO TYPICALLY MOVE
FORWARD. ALL RIGHT SOUNDS GOOD
THE PROBLEM IS WHEN YOU LOOK AT
THE NUMBERS- YOU DON'T SEE. WHAT
YOU MIGHT EXPECT TO SEE AFTER
THAT. AFTER THE SUMMER. IF YOU
TAKE AS A STARTING POINT TWENTY
SIXTEEN WHEN A LOT OF THIS HAS
GOT TO BE STARTED AND YOU LOOK
AT THIS CHART HERE ALL THE WAY
TO FAR FAR RIGHT. I'M IN FACT
PERMITS ISSUED DECLINED FROM
201-722-0182 TWENTY NINETEEN TO
TWENTY TWENTY- DIRECTED UP A
LITTLE BIT TWENTY ONE TO TWENTY
TWENTY TWO. BUT NOT
SIGNIFICANTLY DONE THE WAY THAT
ONE COULD SAY JEEZ WE'VE REALLY-
SUPERCHARGE THE SUPPLY OF NEW
HOUSING. SO I THINK- WE ARE
COMING UP SHORT BUT I THINK IT'S
IMPORTANT TO SAY- THAT- IT'S
ALSO EARLY AND I THINK IT'S
IMPORTANT TO SPOTLIGHT PLACES
WHERE WE REALLY ARE SEEING
PROGRESS SO. ONE OF THESE IS SET
SENATE BILL THIRTY FIVE IN
SPECIFICALLY I'D SAY FOR
AFFORDABLE HOUSING PRODUCTION
CALIFORNIA. SEVEN THIRTY FIVE
IT'S REALLY NOT DELIVERED IN
THIS ATTENTION IN TERMS OF
UNLOCKING NEW MARKETS SUPPLY BUT
IT REALLY HAS BECOME THE PRIMARY
VEHICLE OF CHOICE FOR FOLKS
BUILDING. SUBSIDIZED RENTAL
AFFORDABLE HOUSING- IT OFFERS A
MUCH QUICKER THROUGHPUT TO GET
PROJECTS APPROVED AND WHEN
COMPLEMENT IN THE STATE DENSITY
BONUS LAW ALLOWS DEVELOPERS TO
BUILD SUCH A LOT LARGER PROJECTS
AND LOCAL ZONING MIGHT OTHERWISE
ALLOW. IT ALSO HAS BECOME A VERY
HELPFUL VEHICLE FOR CONTENDING
WITH CONTENDING WITH SOME OF THE
HISTORIC MAYBE CHALLENGES THAT
HAVE THWARTED AFFORDABLE HOUSING
DEVELOPERS. ALLOWING PROJECTS
GET BUILT ON THE CUTS
COMMUNITIES WHICH. STRICTLY MAY
HAVE RESISTED THEM. ONE POINT I
MAKE IS THAT- PRO OF THE TAKEN
BETTER HAS ALSO BEEN ON STATE'S
SUBS SCORING SYSTEMS. WERE WORK
PROJECTS THAT USE THIS
ENTITLEMENT OFTEN LOCAL FUNDING
PROGRAM TO DO AS WELL BECAUSE OF
THE OBVIOUS BENEFITS IN TERMS OF
TIME AND COST. BUT THAT IS ALSO
LIKELY COMPOUNDING SOME OF OUR
CURRENT OVER SUBSCRIPTIONS
REVIEW PROBLEMS PART OF ALL OF.
THE CHARGES WERE BUILDING A LOT
OF HOUSING TODAY THAT MIGHT HAVE
BEEN BUILT- BEER FROM NOW-
INCREASING INCREDIBLE DEMAND ARE
VERY SCARCE BOB PORTABLE HOUSING
SUBSIDY PROGRAMS. THE END OF THE
SPECTRUM WERE I WOULD SAY REALLY
TANGIBLE QUANTIFIABLE PROGRESS
IS IN THE SINGLE FAMILY ZONING
FLEXIBILITY AREA UP TO DO WITH
THE GROWTH OF THE COUNTRY
DRAWING UNITS- AND I THINK
THERE'S A STE REALLY HOPEFUL
STORY- MAYBE PLAY BOOK THAT WE
CAN THINK ABOUT ALL OF THE
FOLLOWING. AND I WOULD MAKE IS
THAT- EIGHTY YOU LAWS ON THE
BOOKS GO BACK A COUPLE DECADES
BUT REALLY IT WASN'T TWENTY
SIXTEEN IT WAS OUR FIRST MAJOR
REFORM. LEGISLATIVELY
SERIOUSNESS WITH TECHNICAL FIXES
AND CLEAN UP BILLS AND IF YOU
SPACE OVER THE LAST FIVE YEARS.
I'M I THINK THAT IS WORTH NOTING
THAT THAT IS. OFTEN OUR BEST
HOUSING WORK HAPPENS THROUGH
DILIGENCE EFFORT IT'S ALSO THE
CASE. BUT EIGHTY USE REQUIRE
LOCAL ORDINANCES THEY THEY
REALLY OBLIGATE CITIES TO STEP
FORWARD COME UP WITH A WORKABLE
PLAN OF THE COMMUNITY LOCAL
COMMUNITY- AS WELL. WHAT ABOUT
EVERYTHING ELSE SO WHAT ABOUT
THE HUGE MIDDLE OF. OF THE
HOUSING STOCK TO BE BETWEEN THE
SMALLEST ON THE ONE HAND ON THE
FOR THE HOUSING ON THE OTHER.
FOR SMOKING I WAS THE TIME WILL
TELL SO THE NUMBERS ARE LAGGING-
AND LIKE ANYTHING WE'VE TAKEN
YOUR SKIN TO THIS WHOLE THING
HERE'S MORE TO SORT OF SEE IF
THE STOCK IS FRUIT. I DO THINK.
THAT TECHNICAL AND FINANCIAL
ASSISTANCE THE STATE IS MADE
AVAILABLE ON THE ONE HAND THE
CITIES TO HELP BUILD UP THE
CAPACITY AND ON THE OTHER HAND
OBVIOUSLY TO DEVELOPERS TO HELP
TO BUILD THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING.
IS A CRITICAL NOT NEARLY ENOUGH
BOTH OF BOTH OF THESE NEED NEED-
REDOUBLE INVESTMENT. FROM THE
STATE IN THE YEARS TO COME. I
THINK. ISSUE IS IT A HUGE EXT.
OF AN AREA THAT WE REALLY NOT
TACKLE THE LAST YEARS- BUT IT'S
ESPECIALLY AS WE SORT OF STEP UP
TO THE EDGE AND ECONOMIC
DOWNTURN OF BECOMES EVEN MORE
APPARENT THIS IS A PLACE. WHERE
SIGNIFICANT WORK IS NEEDED-
LABORS AND ZERO COST GOING UP.
BUILDING CODE REQUIREMENTS DAHLE
CUTS GOOD REASONS BECOME A MORE
STRINGENT. BY CITIES TURNED
IMPACT FEES INCREASE LEGAL TOP
TEN PICKS HOLES IN THEIR
BUDGETS- THIS IS WORK. THAT IS-
I TOUCHED. KAMALA CLEARLY. THIS
HAS TO ITS FOR THE GAS- WITH THE
FORTUNATE COME. SO I THINK
THAT'S BEEN A HUGE- IT'S JUST
HAVING- THE OVERSIGHT THAT COMES
FROM TURKEY JOURNALS OFFICE OF
MACY'S HOUSING ACCOUNTABILITY
UNIT. SO IF YOU SQUINT. YOU KNOW
CAN YOU SEE SORT OF A PATH WITH
WHAT WE'VE DONE- TO GET US THERE
IN THE FUTURE. AYE MAYBE MAYBE-
I THINK ONE BIG LEAP OF FAITH
THAT YOU WILL HAVE TO TAKE. TO
SORT OF TELL A REALLY OPTIMISTIC
STORY. I HATE TO SAY THAT FOR
THOSE YOU'RE JUST COMING OUT OF
THIS CYCLE. THE NEXT CYCLE WILL
BE UPON US SOON. BUT I THINK.
THE SIX CYCLES A BIG PLAY
REALLY. BOB WAS SUCCESSFUL IT
WAS SUCCESSFUL IN INCREASING
RESIDENTIALLY ZONED LAND IT
REALLY IS SUCCESSFUL AT LEAST
FOR SOME LOCALITIES. TO GRAPPLE.
WITH CONSTRAINTS TO DEVELOPMENT
THE THINGS THAT ARE IMPEDING
THOSE SITES FROM BEING BUILT
UPON- BUT I THINK WE SAW CITIES
REALLY STRUGGLED TO DEAL WITH
THESE MARIE SIGNIFICANT
REQUIREMENTS. WE SAW A LOT OF
BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN THE CITY
THE STATE AND ADVOCATES TRYING
TO SORT THROUGH WHAT THE RIGHT
PATH WAS TO DELIVER ON THE
AMBITION OF THESE- SIX CYCLE
CHANGES. I DO THINK THAT A
FUTURE SEVEN CYCLE IN WHICH WERE
ABLE TO INTRODUCE MORE ABOUT.
EVIDENCE BASED APPROACH TO
IDENTIFYING. WHETHER THE SWEET
OF POLICIES THAT THE CITY HAS A
PLACE ARE SUBSTANTIALLY ARE ONLY
MODERATELY INHIBITING HOUSING
DEVELOPMENTS SORT OF YARDSTICK
IF YOU WILL- USING- REAL TIME
DATA IT IS HAS TO BE PART OF THE
SOLUTION SET FOR GETTING US. TO
A PLACE WHERE BY THAT THAT
HOUSING ELEMENT CYCLE CAN CAN
REALLY BEGIN TO DELIVER. ANY
MORE MEANINGFUL WAY THAT I
WASN'T IN THIS ROUND WITH THAT I
THINK AGAIN IF YOU SQUINT YOU
MIGHT SEE. AN OPTIMISTIC A PATH
FORWARD. ON MAKING REAL PROGRESS
CALIFORNIA'S HISTORIC HOUSING.
SHORTAGE THANK YOU VERY MUCH OF
A METCALFE- DO THE THREE WAY. IN
A UP TO QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS
FROM THE- TWO COMMITTEES. NEXT
TO HEAR FROM LORD A SMALL. GOOD
AFTERNOON JERRY MEMBERS I HOPE
YOU CAN SEE THE SCREEN BEFORE
YOU OF THE HANDOUT WILL BE
SHARING. THE HEAD OUT SHOULD BE
BEFORE YOU AS WELL AS ON THE
ALLEY A WEBSITE. I WANT TO GET
INTO THIS ONE ON THIS WITH THE
L. A. O. WE JUST HEARD AN
OVERVIEW OF THE POLICY ACTION
THE STATE HAS TAKEN IN RECENT
YEARS TO ADDRESS. ON HOUSING
I'VE BEEN ASKED TO SPEAK
SPECIFICALLY ON THE FISCAL
ACTIONS IN RECENT YEARS RELATED
TO HOUSING. THE JOURNEY TO THE
FIRST PAGE FEDERAL STATE AND
LOCAL GOVERNMENTS IMPLEMENT A
VARIETY OF PROGRAMS AIMED AT
HELPING CALIFORNIANS.
PARTICULARLY LOW INCOME
CALIFORNIA FOR HOUSING. BONDS
AND TAX CREDITS ARE THE TWO MAIN
WAYS THE STATE HAS FUNDED THESE
ACTIVITIES IN THE PAST. VOTERS
AUTHORIZED AREAS SPONSORED
HERE'S JUST SUPPORT STATE
HOUSING PROGRAMS TO MOST
RECENTLY IN TWENTY EIGHTEEN
VOTERS AUTHORIZED A TOTAL. OF
SIX BILLION DOLLARS IN BONDS FOR
VARIOUS HOUSING RELATED
PROGRAMS. ARE DISCUSS THESE IN
MORE DETAIL LATER IN MY
PRESENTATION. ADDITIONALLY THE
STEEDS INCOME HOUSING TAX CREDIT
PROGRAM PROVIDES TAX CREDITS TO
BUILDERS OF AFFORDABLE RENTAL
HOUSING. THE STATE HAS
HISTORICALLY MADE ABOUT A
HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS
AVAILABLE ANNUALLY FOR THIS
PURPOSE. HOWEVER THE STATE'S
HOUSING AFFORDABILITY CRISIS HAS
BECOME MORE ACUTE IN RECENT
YEARS AND- AS A RESULT THE STATE
HAS SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASED ITS
FISCAL ROLE IN ADDRESSING
HOUSING AFFORDABILITY. THE STATE
HAS DONE THIS LARGELY BY
EXPANDING EXISTING PROGRAMS AND
EXPANDING SOME NEW PROGRAMS THAT
HELP SUBSIDIZE HOUSING
DEVELOPMENT. PRIMARILY USING ONE
TIME TEMPORARY FUNDS. ALTERED TO
SPEAK TO MORE IN MORE DETAIL
ABOUT THE BASE FUNDING I FIRST
MENTIONED AND THEN OUTLINING THE
DISCRETIONARY SPENDING IN RECENT
YEARS. WE PROVIDE AN OVERVIEW OF
ONE OF THE STATE'S MOST RECENTLY
AUTHORIZED BONDS. ON THE TABLE-
OUTLINES THE FOUR BILLION
DOLLARS PROVIDED FROM
PROPOSITION ONE THE VETERANS AND
AFFORDABLE HOUSING. BOND ACT OF
TWENTY EIGHTEEN. YOU KNOW IT'S
ALLOCATED TO VARIOUS PROGRAMS.
THREE BILLION DOLLARS OF THIS
FUNDING- ASIDE FROM SORT OF THE
FUNDING FOR THE VETERANS HOME
OWNERSHIP IS ALLOCATED TO
PROGRAMS ADMINISTERED BY EACH CD
AND COLLEGE THANK. MOST OF THE
SPENDING IS TO THE MULTI FAMILY
HOUSING PROGRAMS. THE ALL THE
THREE BILLION DOLLARS COLLEGE
OPINION EACH CD. HAVE ALLOCATED
SO FAR THREE HUNDRED AND TWENTY
TWO MILLION DOLLARS. AN
ADDITIONAL ONE POINT SEVEN
BILLION HAS BEEN COVERED THIS
MEANS THAT EACH CD AND CALOTYPE.
NINE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY THREE
MILLION REMAINING AND BOND
FUNDING FROM PROPOSITION ONE.
THE NEXT RELEASE OF FUNDING IS
EXPECTED IN THE SPRING AND EACH
CITY ANTICIPATE EXHAUSTING ALL
OF THE PROPOSITION ONE FUNDING
BY THE END OF. THE TWENTY TWENTY
FOUR CALENDAR YEAR. REPUBLICANS
ON THE ONE BILLION DOLLARS FOR
VETERANS HOME OWNERSHIP THAT'S A
MINISTER BY THE DEPARTMENT OF
VETERANS AFFAIRS. HAS ABOUT SIX
HUNDRED AND THIRTY SIX MILLION
DOLLARS A MONTH ALREADY
REMAINING AND THE NEXT RELEASE
OF THAT IS SCHEDULED FOR THE
FALL. TURNING TO THE THIRD PAGE
NO PLACE LIKE HOME PROVIDED- TWO
BILLION DOLLARS IN BONDS
AUTHORITY. SPECIFICALLY FOR
PERMANENT SUPPORTIVE HOUSING FOR
PEOPLE WHO ARE IN NEED OF MENTAL
SERVICES. AND HAVE ARE
EXPERIENCING OR AT RISK OF
EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS THAT'S
PROGRAMS ALSO ADMINISTERED BY
EACH CD. ALL OF THIS BUT BUT BUT
BUT IT HAS THE ALLOCATED AS A
AUGUST TWENTY TWENTY TO. PROVIDE
US ACTIONABLE WAS GOING ON AT
THAT TIME. DID YOU CAN SEE. THE
NUMBERS AND- HOME DOLLARS HAVE
FUNDED A TOTAL OF TWO HUNDRED
AND FORTY SEVEN PROJECTS. THESE
PROJECTS ANTICIPATING IT TO BE
CREATING NEARLY EIGHT THOUSAND
UNITS SUPPORTED BY NO POLITICAL
DOLLARS. IMPORTANT NEED THE
PROJECTS FUND A VARIETY OF UNITS
OF SOME OF THE UNITS ARE NO
PLACE LIKE HOME BUT SOME OF
THESE PROJECTS ALSO HAVE OTHER
UNITS SUPPORTED BY OTHER
SOURCES. SO WHEN ALL THE
PROJECTS THAT SUPPORT THE
DEVELOPMENT OF NEARLY. EIGHTEEN
THOUSAND DOLLARS EIGHTEEN
THOUSAND UNITS EXCEEDING. ONE
HUNDRED AND NINETY ELEVEN
PROJECTS HUNDRED. THIRTY ARKHAM
. AND FIVE UNITS ARE. OCCUPIED.
INITIALLY THE STATE HAS
HISTORICALLY RELIED ON BOND
FUNDING TO SUPPORT ITS HOUSING
PROGRAMS. MORE RECENTLY THE
STATE IS ESTABLISHING YOUR
ONGOING SOURCE OF HOUSE OF
SPENDING FOR HOUSING. THE
BUILDING HOMES AND JOBS AFTER SB
TWO FROM TWENTY SEVENTEEN
ESTABLISH A SEVENTY FIVE DOLLAR
RECORDING TOGETHER I'M REALISTIC
DOCUMENTS. TO GENERATE REVENUE
THAT IS USED TO INCREASE THE
FIVE AFFORDABLE HOUSING IN THE
STATE. THE TABLE ON PAGE FOUR
OUTLINES THE STATUTORILY
ESTABLISHED ALLOCATION
METHODOLOGY. AND HOW MUCH
REVENUE HAS BEEN COLLECTED FROM
THE SOURCE OVER THE YEARS. AS
YOU CAN SEE THE FIRST YEAR
FUNDING TO SPLIT BETWEEN
PLANNING GRANTS TO LOCALS AND
HOMELESSNESS FUNDING. BEGINNING
IN THE SECOND YEAR AND BEYOND
70% OF THE FUNDING FROM SB TWO
IS DISTRIBUTED LOCALLY FOR THEIR
HOUSING PROGRAMS. AND THERE ARE
MANY FUNDING IS ALLOCATED
TOWARDS MIXED INCOME HOUSING
FARMWORKER HOUSING. PRODUCTION
CENTER GROUNDS IN ALL OVER ONE
TWENTY BILLION DOLLARS IN
REVENUE HAVE BEEN ALLOCATED FROM
SB TWO. SINCE THE. TWENTY
SEVENTEEN EIGHTEEN SCHOOL YEAR.
I KNOW THE STATE OFFERING
ADDITIONAL SPENDING ON TWENTY
AND WE YEARS FOR. A INCREASED
FISCAL ROLL AND HOUSING FOR.
CRISIS IS BIG ARGUE. THE TEAM ON
PAGE JENNA CAPTURES A MAJOR TO.
SPENDING ON WITH STATE OF.
WITHIN DEPARTMENT OR PRINCIPLE
WERE. FOR IT IS THE STATE'S PRO
THAT EACH TV CARRIED AND-
APPLICATION COMMITTEE SINCE THE
TWENTY NINETEEN JUST GOING. IN
THIS IS THE DISK. ACTION TODAY
NOT INCLUDE THE PREVIOUS AUTHOR
BASED FOR THE SOURCES I DESCRIBE
. PROP ONE LIKE HOME SB TWO. FOR
EXAMPLE NOTABLY LIKE HOME HAS
HISTORICALLY SUPPORTED BY BOND
FUND FOR THE- HOW AND FIVE
MILLION DOLLARS FOR THE PROGRAM
NOTED ON THIS TABLE. REFLECTS
THE ADDITIONAL STATE ACTION THE
STATE HAS TAKEN TO EXPAND THE
PROGRAM BEYOND THE ONE POINT
FIVE BILLION PROVIDED BY
PROPOSITION ONE. I WILL NOT GO
THROUGH EVERY PROGRAM ON THIS
TABLE. BUT- JUST OVERALL YOU CAN
SEE ABOUT FIFTEEN BILLION
DOLLARS IN ADDITIONAL
DISCRETIONARY FUNDING HAS BEEN
PROVIDED. MOST OF THE SPENDING
HAS GONE TO EACH CD WHICH
RECEIVE JUST OVER TWELVE BILLION
DOLLARS IN SOME CASES THE
FUNDING EXPAND EXISTING
PROGRAMS. AT THE END OF THE
SECOND EXAMPLE I MENTIONED IN
OTHER CASES THE STATE HAS
ESTABLISHED ADDITIONAL NEW
PROGRAMS. SUCH AS THE TWO
BILLION DOLLARS PROVIDED BY EACH
CITY'S ACCELERATOR PROGRAM.
WHICH ADDRESSES FUNDING GAPS FOR
SHOVEL READY PROJECTS THAT HAVE
BEEN UNABLE TO ACCESS TAX
CREDITS. TO GET THIS STARTED
MORE QUICKLY. ADDITIONALLY TO
HAS BEEN PROVIDED TOWARDS THE
LOADED CREDIT. AGAIN THIS ISN'T
A TO THE ONGOING AND YOU. A
THORNY ABOUT A ONE HUNDRED
DOLLARS. AND FINALLY ABOUT ONE
BILL DOLLARS HAS GONE TOWARDS
COLLEGE PROGRAMS AND THEN
DEVELOPMENT SUCH AS EIGHTY JUNE
. AND TO ASSIST WITH HOME. TO
THAT COMPLETELY OVER OF THE
STATE SPENDING ACTUAL TO TAKE.
WHEN THANK YOU. THANK YOU VERY.
AND THEN FINALLY HEAR FOR MAKING
HER COULD BE. THE CITY. GREAT
THANK YOU ARE. FOR HOST US TODAY
. I'M AND SOME TRYING TO LEARN A
AND BAN- TALK ABOUT. HE SAYS- SO
I'M GONNA A LITTLE BIT ABOUT.
HOW THE STATE HAS BEEN
IMPLEMENTING ALL THOSE THINGS
THAT YOU HEARD- BAND AND ARTIST
TALK ABOUT. SO IT JUST CANNOT BE
UNDERSTATED ENOUGH- HOW MUCH
WORK IS GOING ON RIGHT NOW TO
ADDRESS. THE HOUSING CRISIS AT
WORKING UPSTREAM AS WELL AS
ADDRESSING THE NEEDS OF
CALIFORNIANS WHAT THEY'RE
EXPERIENCING TODAY. I SO AT THIS
MOMENT ALL CITIES AND COUNTIES
IN CALIFORNIA ARE IN- SUMS SOME
PHASE THE PROCESS AND UPDATING
THEIR HOUSING ELEMENT TO THEIR
LOCAL HOUSING PLANS. WHICH THIS-
CYCLE AS YOU HEARD AND TALK
ABOUT IT IS DIFFERENT- IT
REQUIRES THE NEED TO PLAN AND
ZONE FOR THE ADDITION OF TWO AND
A HALF MILLION NEW HOMES OVER
THE NEXT EIGHT YEARS. WHICH IS
MORE THAN DOUBLE- WHERE WE WERE
AT LAST CYCLE WHERE
JURISDICTIONS ONLY NEEDED A PLAN
FOR ONE POINT TWO MILLION HOMES
STATEWIDE. ARE OBVIOUSLY
INCREASING THE AMOUNT OF AREA
WHERE HOUSING CAN BE BUILT BY
UPS AND THE EXISTING LAND IS ONE
OF THE MOST IMPORTANT WAYS WERE
INCREASING SUPPLY AND BRINGING
DOWN LAND COSTS. IT SHOULD BE
REVIEWS ALL OF THESE LOCAL
HOUSING ELEMENTS TO ENSURE THE
JURISDICTIONS ARE CALLING PRESS
PRACTICES IDENTIFYING SITES THAT
ARE BALBOA BALL. AND REMOVING
LOCAL BARRIERS HOUSING
PRODUCTION. AND BEN WAS NOT
WRONG IT IS TIME TO START
THINKING. AHEAD TO AND AS FAR AS
THAT IS FOR ME- WE JUST
YESTERDAY LAUNCHED CALIFORNIA'S
HOUSING FUTURE TWENTY FORTY TO
BEGIN GATHERING INPUT ON THE
NEXT REGIONAL HOUSING NEED
ASSESSMENTS THAT WE CAN WALK YOU
TERMS THAT WILL BE THE SEVEN.
THE SEVEN CYCLE- SO THEY'LL BE A
SURVEYS WEBINARS OTHER
OPPORTUNITIES TO WEIGH IN ON
THAT PROCESS- ALL THROUGHOUT
THIS YEAR. SO I MEAN TALK LITTLE
BIT TODAY ABOUT THAT AND- AT THE
REGIONAL HOUSING NEEDS
ASSESSMENT. AND THAT'S WHERE A
LOT OF THE IMPLEMENTATION
EFFORTS SERVICE START TO STEM
FROM I'M SURE THEY TALKED ABOUT
THAT IT IS- A MUCH I'M A MUCH
LARGER PLANNING GOAL THAN IT WAS
IN THE PAST- AND THE RENOWN AS
IT'S COMMONLY REFERRED TO AS A
PROJECTION OF THAT ADDITIONAL
HOUSING UNITS THAT I NEEDED. TO
ACCOMMODATE OUR GROWTH- FOR ALL
INCOME LEVELS FROM THE START IN
CHILE AND THE PROJECTION PERIOD
THAT'S ANOTHER REALLY NERDY
CHARM BUT REALLY TO JUST TALK
ABOUT THIS PLANNING. THIS EIGHT
YEAR CYCLE THAT WE THINK ABOUT
HOUSING PLANS WITH AND IT IS
ABSOLUTELY A PLANNING
REQUIREMENTS IT'S ABOUT ASKING
JURISDICTIONS DO YOU WHAT'S
WITHIN THEIR CONTROL ALL RIGHT
TO ADDRESS THEIR PARTICULAR
HOUSING CHALLENGES AND MAKE
HOUSING POSSIBLE. ON A AND THEN
IT'S A BUILDING TARGET- IT'S NOT
A PREDICTION OF HOW MUCH HOUSING
ACTIVITY THERE WILL BE OR A
CEILING. ADVENTUROUS ACTION IS
DOING THE RIGHT THINGS AND IT'S
ACTUALLY- MEETING ARENA THAT'S
NOT THAT'S NOT A REASON TO STOP-
AND IT'S NOT LIMITED YOU TO
EXISTING LAND USE CAPACITY SO
YOU MIGHT HEAR THE TERM BUILT
OUT OR THINGS LIKE THAT-
REASONING IS. OFTEN NECESSARY TO
ACCOMMODATE- I HAD THE PLANNING
. PLANNING FOR YOUR REGIONAL
HOUSING NEEDS. I SO IT'S- WITH-
THAT THE STATE AND THAT APART
FINING. THANK ABOUT THAT READ
HOUSING NEED IS- BIRDS FOR EACH
SIDE. AND COMING UP WITH A
METHOD. THAT IS- AND DISTRIBUTED
DOWN THE- COUNCILS OF GOVERNMENT
THESE OTHER REGIONAL GOVERNMENTS
IN CALIFORNIA- AND THEN THEY
ALLOCATE THAT REGIONAL NEED DOWN
TO- INDIVIDUAL JURISDICTIONS.
AND- ARE THERE ARE FIVE
STATUTORY OBJECTIVES. WHICH HOW
THAT HAS TO BE ALLOCATED OUT AND
THAT'S AT THE CORE OF THOSE
OBJECTIVES BY MID NEXT WEEK. ON
THE ALLOCATION NEEDS TO BE
INCREASING HOUSING SUPPLY- AND
THE MIX OF HOUSING TYPES- RENTAL
HOMEOWNERSHIP MULTI FAMILY
SINGLE FAMILY- AND AFFORDABILITY
IN AN EQUITABLE MANNER. IT NEEDS
TO BE PROMOTING INFILL
DEVELOPMENT SOCIO ECONOMIC
EQUITY WORKING- ALSO TO PROTECT
OPEN SPACE BY GROWING IN AN
INFILL- INTEL WAY. I'M PROMOTING
JOBS HOUSING SPENT SO MAKING
SURE WE'RE BUILDING HOUSING
WHERE WE NEED IT WHERE JOBS ARE
ARE BALANCING DISPROPORTIONATE
HOUSEHOLD- INCOME DISTRIBUTION
SO. MAKING AT ITS CORE. RENO WAS
CREATED WITH A FAIR GRANT FROM
HUD AND THAT'S BIG PART OF IT'S
TRYING DO IS ABOUT HOW WE INTO
MORE IN. WAY AND A FORMERLY
FURTHERING FAIR HOUSING THIS WAS
NEW FOR THIS CYCLE BUT AS I SAID
IT'S BEEN SORT OF THE BASIS FOR
RAIN ALL ALONG. IS REALLY
THINKING ABOUT HOW WE BUILDING
INCLUSIVE COMMUNITIES HOW ARE WE
ON BRINGING MORE RESOURCES TO
UNDER RESOURCED COMMUNITIES HOW
ARE WE THINKING HOLISTICALLY
ABOUT HOW WE GROW. AND WE'RE
INCREDIBLY GRATEFUL TO THE
LEGISLATURE FOR THE MASSIVE
AMOUNT OF CHANGE THAT HAS BEEN
AND- I IMPROVING HOW HOUSING
WORKS IN CALIFORNIA AND HOUSING
HAS BEEN PLANNED FOR. SO THAT
MEANT WE ARE PLANNING FOR MORE
HOUSING WHERE WE NEEDED IT NEAR
JOBS AND TRANSIT AND WE WERE ON
IT THERE WERE ASSEMBLY
FURTHERING FAIR HOUSING
REQUIREMENTS IN THE HOUSING
ELEMENT FOR THE FIRST TIME SO.
EVERY SINGLE JURISDICTION HOW TO
LOOK AT THEIR- HISTORY OF RACIAL
SEGREGATION I HAD TO THINK ABOUT
WHAT THEY ARE DOING FOR THEM TO
MEET THEIR COMMUNITIES NEEDS. IN
THE AREA- WHAT IS A MUCH HIGHER
BAR TERMS OF GREATER EVIDENCE TO
SHOW POTENTIAL FOR DEVELOPMENT-
STREAMLINED APPROVAL ON SITES
THAT WERE BEING REVIEWED SO
ADDING ADDING MORE POTENTIAL FOR
THESE. DECIDES TO BECOME A
REALITY SO- WHAT'S DIFFERENT
THIS CYCLE THE BAR IS HIGHER BUT
EVERY SINGLE HOUSING- ELEMENT
THAT IS COMPLIANT WILL HAVE A
MUCH BETTER CHANCE OF ACTUALLY
PRODUCING HOUSING. THAT WE'VE
EVER SEEN BEFORE. I SO ACBSP
WORDS OF THIS PARTICULAR LAW- IT
IS OUR JOB ON TO REVIEW THESE
LOCAL HOUSING PLANS. AND THESE
ARE NO LONGER PAPER EXERCISE.
IT'S A CONTRACT WITH THE STATE
IT'S A TERM OF ART WE SAY
PROGRAM COMMITMENTS- BUT LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS AND YOU'LL YOU'LL
HEAR MORE FROM THE SECOND PANEL
TODAY ABOUT THIS. BUT THEY NEED
TO DO THE WORK OF NOT JUST
ZONING APPROPRIATELY TO MEET
THEIR REGIONAL HOUSING NEEDS BUT
LOOKING AT WHAT IS GOING ON IN
THEIR COMMUNITY WHAT ARE THEIR
HOUSING CHALLENGES. WHAT ARE
THEIR GOVERNMENTAL CONSTRAINTS-
AND COMING UP WITH. TIME BOUND
MILESTONES AND COMMITMENTS- BUT
WHAT THEY'RE GONNA DO OVER THE
EIGHT NEXT YEAR TO ADDRESS.
THOSE PARTICULAR HOUSING
CHALLENGES- AND IF THOSE
COMMITMENTS ARE NOT HELD THAT
THAT'S SOMETHING THAT OUR
HOUSING ACCOUNTABILITY UNIT- CAN
ADDRESS. AND SO DID TALK AND- A
LITTLE BIT ABOUT THIS HOW DO WE
HELP JURISDICTIONS MEET THIS
NEWER HIGHER BAR- BEFORE THE
CYCLE STARTED WE PUT OUT MORE
THAN- ALMOST FOUR HUNDRED
MILLION DOLLARS IN PLANNING
GRANTS- THOSE ARE REALLY TO HELP
JURISDICTIONS GET STARTED
MEETING THIS DIRE BAR. BUT WE
ALSO CAPS AND KEPT GOING- THERE
WERE THOUSANDS OF HOURS OF
TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE WE DID
REALLY PERSONALIZED- TA AT THE
REGIONAL LEVEL UPDATED ALL OF
OUR MATERIALS TO MAKE SURE ALL
THESE NEW LAWS THAT GOT PAST ALL
HAD SOME ADDITIONAL. EXPLAINERS
BEHIND THEM AND THEN WE BUILT A
HOUSING HUBS SO WHENEVER WE GOT
SORT OF THE SAME QUESTION TO YOU
THREE TIMES I FOR SOME- HE'S A
TA WE WOULD JUST ASSUME
EVERYBODY NEEDED THAT TA AND
BUILT A HOUSING HAVE WITH
TEMPLATES- THE PEOPLE CAN HAPPEN
TO YOU- I'M- VERY GRATEFUL- AS
BEEN MENTIONED THAT THOSE
PLANNING GRANTS AND
IMPLEMENTATION GRANTS OF
CONTINUED. THERE IS NOW THE
REGIONAL EARLY ACTION PLANNING
GRANT TO POINT OUT OUT- WHICH WE
DO IN PARTNERSHIP WITH- OPR AS
YOU SEE IN THE AIR RESOURCES
BOARD. WHERE WE. WE ARE PUTTING
OUT AN ADDITIONAL SIX HUNDRED
MILLION. IN PLANNING AN
IMPLEMENTING GREAT YOU WANTED
THESE GOING. ON IN TERMS INTO
RE. AND OF COURSE EVERYTHING
HOUSING. LAW PASSED YOU CONTAIN
OUR FINDING THAT THAT OUR CAMPUS
. SIDE OF FINDINGS IT'S OUR
ROADS FOR JURISDICTION TO OBTAIN
COMPLY. AT THE END OF THE DAY WE
WANT PEOPLE TO BE IN COMPLIANCE
YOU KNOW THAT'S WHEN HOUSING IS
GOING TO BEGIN TO HAPPEN IS WHEN
THESE ORDINANCES ARE UPDATED
WHEN HE'S POLICIES BEGIN TO
CHANGE. I'M FOR THE BETTER AND
SO WE WANT PEOPLE TO MEET A LOT
OF BECOME. JOIN US. IN
COMPLIANCE. I WE HAVE A NUMBER-
WE HAVE GROWN SUBSTANTIALLY IN
THE AMOUNT OF LAWS THAT WE ARE
THE STEWARD OF OVERTIME. ON I AM
I'M NOT GONNA NAME ALL OF THESE-
AND ACTUALLY THERE ARE PROBABLY
A FEW MORE I NEED TO ADD TO THE
SLIDE. THE LEGISLATURE IT
CONTINUES TO DO GOOD WORK ON
HOUSING. WE WANT TO MAKE SURE
THAT WE DON'T JUST PASS LAWS
THAT NEVER GET FOLLOWED RIGHT WE
WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE
ACTUALLY- HELPING JURISDICTIONS
FOLLOW THOSE NEW. LAWS THAT HAVE
BEEN CREATED FOR A REASON. SO I
IS JUST LITTLE BIT OF A SNAPSHOT
YOU CAN FIND US ON OUR WEBSITE
ANYTIME. BUT WE TRACKED THE
HOUSING ACCOUNTABILITY UNITS
IMPACT. ON IN JUST JUST THE LAST
COUPLE YEARS. A LITTLE MORE THAN
A YEAR. AND WE HAVE BEEN
TRACKING THE AMOUNT OF PLACES
WHERE WE INTERVENE AND WE'VE
BEEN ABLE TO UNLOCK HOUSING THAT
THAT WAS NOT ON A PATH TO. BE
SUCCESSFUL OTHERWISE- AND SO-
WORK WE'RE NEARING THE FIVE
THOUSAND MARK- AND- I'LL SAY
MANY OF THESE- YOU. DON'T TURN
INTO LAWSUITS RIGHT BECAUSE- A
LOT OF WHAT WE'RE ABLE TO DO. IT
SHOULD INTERVENE EARLY TO
EXPLAIN THE LAW. SOMETIMES TO BE
THE BAD GUY WHICH I'LL TALK A
LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT- BUT TO
JUST SAY HEY ACTUALLY YOU. YOU
DO NEED TO GET OUT OF THE WAY
HERE AND LET THIS HOUSING BE
APPROVED. AND IN TERMS OF
ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS THIS IS
ANOTHER SORT OF STORY OF SUCCESS
RATE AND I'VE HOW THE FACT THAT
LEGISLATION WORKS. ON BEN HODGE
ON THIS A LITTLE BIT BUT I'LL
JUST ADD TO IT. I THIS WAS THIS
WAS AN EIGHT HUNDRED NEW HOMES A
YEAR- VERY SMALL PIECE OF THE
PUZZLE FOR A LONG TIME-
LEGISLATION SHOULD. I CAME IN
REALLY CHANGE WHAT IT TOOK TO-
TO REMOVE BARRIERS- TO CHANGE
THE FEE STRUCTURE AROUND
ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS. I
NEVER THOUGHT I'D TOUCH ON
LOOPHOLE AFTER LOOPHOLE IN TILL
WHERE WE'VE BEEN UP THE LAST FEW
YEARS WE ARE NOW SEEING MORE
THAN TWENTY THOUSAND. NEW HOMES
EVERY YEAR THROUGH THE SUCCESS
WRANGLING UNIT- WORK AND- IT IS
A HUGE PIECE OF H. THESE
TECHNICAL SYSTEMS THAT WE
PROVIDE- TONS OF WORK ON ON IT
WITH AN INDIVIDUAL HOMEOWNERS
OVERCOME HELPING THEM OVERCOME
THINGS. THAT WE PUT OUT THIS
ACCESSORY DWELLING UNIT
HANDBOOK- I'VE BEEN MADE AWARE A
LOT OF REAL ESTATE AGENTS I
GUESS I USE THIS AS PART OF
THEIR SELLING POINT NOW AND
THEY'RE SELLING HOMES TO. SHOW
ACTUALLY HOW EASY IT IS TO ADD
AN ACCESSORY DWELLING UNIT- TO
THE TO THE HOME. I'M AND- WE
ADDRESS- HOUSING OTHER. AS WELL
- THAT WE'VE BEEN A LOT OF WORK
AROUND THE CIRCLE LAND- THIS IS
SOMETHING THAT IT SHOULD BE
BECAME MUSTARD I HAVE- ONLY ONLY
RECENTLY. AND WE PLAN TO GROW
OUR TA MUCH FURTHER HERE- WE
HAVE A LOT TO OFFER LOCAL
JURISDICTIONS TO MAKE THIS
EASIER WE ARE NOT INTERESTED IN.
AND IN MAKING THE SOMETHING
HARD- BUT THIS IS A HUGE
OPPORTUNITY TO BRING NEW HOUSING
STOCK INTO THE FOLD. I'M AND SHE
AND TO LET AND MAKE SURE THE
AFFORDABLE DEVELOPMENT COMMUNITY
KNOWS ABOUT- SURPLUS LAND THAT
THAT IS COMING ONLINE WE HAVE
REALLY GREAT PARTNERSHIP WITH
DEPARTMENT OF GENERAL SERVICES.
THIS HELPED US MAP A LOT OF THIS
LAND- REALLY SHOW WHERE THESE
OPPORTUNITIES ARE- AND THEN ON
OUR OWN SIDE OF THE TABLE- WE
LOOKED AT THE UNDER UTILIZED
LAND- THAT THE STATE HAS AND SO
FAR WE HAVE OVER FIFTY ONE
HUNDRED NEW HOMES IN THE
PIPELINE- THAT ARE GONNA HAPPEN
FOR A LONG TERM LEASE STRUCTURE
ON UNDER UTILIZED STATE LAND. SO
ALL OF THE STUFF THAT I'VE JUST
TALKED ABOUT- I WILL I WILL SAY.
ALPS BRING DOWN HOUSING FILES
HELPS INCREASE HOUSING SUPPLY-
FOR MERCURY HOUSING BUT THOSE
SAME INTERVENTIONS ALSO HELP THE
STATE'S INVESTMENT IN AFFORDABLE
HOUSING STRETCH MUCH FURTHER- SO
EVERYTHING YOU HEARD LARGEST
TALK ABOUT VANTAGE ON THE ISSUE.
ON THAT THE SUBSIDIZED HOUSING
WORK THAT WE DO KNOW IS IT IS A-
CRITICAL PIECE OF THE PUZZLE-
BUT WE- WE WANTED TO GO FAR. AND
SO WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT
EVERYTHING I JUST TALKED ABOUT
IS HAPPENING I'M SO THAT WE CAN
ACTUALLY SEE- SEE SEE THOSE
DOLLARS TURN INTO HOMES AND SO.
WE KNOW THAT FOR EVERY TEN
THOUSAND HOMES THAT UNFUNDED FOR
IT BY HCD THESE ARE GONNA STAY
AFFORDABLE FOR FIFTY FIVE YEARS.
AND SERVING ON AVERAGE SEVEN
HOUSEHOLDS OVER THAT TIME SO THE
STATE'S BEEN ABLE. TO HOW IS A
HUNDRED AND SEVENTY FIVE
THOUSAND CAL CALIFORNIANS OR
LIFETIME OF THOSE. THOSE TEN
THOUSAND HOW. THIS IS A THIS IS
A BIG DEAL TO BE A TO OF HOW. AS
NOT- NOT JUST AN ASSET BUT ALSO
THIS ON GOING- SOCIAL- SOCIAL
SERVICE THAT WE'RE PROVIDING IN
TERMS OF LONG TERM
AFFORDABILITY- SO I. I JUST WANT
TO CLOSE BY SAYING AND YOU'LL
GET YOUR FOR ME AGAIN ON OUR
LOCAL GOVT PANEL AND- HOPEFULLY
GET YOUR SOME. SOME COOL AND
CREATIVE THINGS THAT THE LOCALS
ARE DOING AS WELL BUT- I'M JUST
LIKE MY FELLOW PANELISTS HAPPY
IT ANSWER QUESTIONS WHENEVER THE
TIME IS RIGHT. THANK YOUNG. BUT
THANK YOU MUCH OF TO RESERVE.
HER WORKS GO TO CENTER PLACE
HERE IN CENTER CABALLERO. THANK
YOU FOR THE PRESENTE- TO
QUESTION FOR MR METCALFE- YOU
KNOW WE'VE CLEARLY SEEN SOME
SUCCESSES LIKE EIGHTY YOU BILLS
THAT YOU MENTIONED IN YOUR
PRESENTATION. AND SOME BILLS
THAT WE KNOW HOW THAT WORKED AS
WELL AND THEN THERE ARE SOME
THAT IT'S A LITTLE BIT TOO EARLY
TO TELL I KNOW NOTABLY SENATOR
KABIR AND I WORKED. LAST YEAR ON
A BETWEEN ELEVEN AND SB SIX. AND
THOSE WILL BE IMPLEMENTED IN
JULY OF THIS YEAR- GIVEN THAT
WHAT DO YOU THINK ARE STILL THE
BIG MOVES LEFT FOR THE
LEGISLATURE IN TERMS OF
EXPANDING PRODUCTION OF HOUSING
. THANK YOU- A GOOD QUESTION. AS
I SAID IN MY REMARKS I THINK THE
COST ISSUE REMAINS AN
EXCEPTIONAL ONE I THINK BECAUSE
WE- ARE LOOKING AT ECONOMIC
CHALLENGES RENTS- NOT GOING UP
THE SAME RACE THERE ARE ACTUALLY
HOMEBUILDING HAS BEEN REALLY HIT
BY INTEREST RATES. ONE OF THE
CONSISTENT PIECES OF FEEDBACK
HAS BEEN YOU KNOW HOW WE- THERE
ARE WAYS GET MORE WORKERS INTO
THE WORKFORCE HOW TO MEASURE OUT
WAYS TO- PRODUCED AN IMPROVED
CONSTRUCTION TECHNOLOGY. I'M
MORE INFORMATION RELYING
WHATEVER IT DOES JEWELERS
CONSTRUCTION- I THINK THOSE ARE
OPPORTUNITIES WITH THE STATE
DOESN'T ROLL IT'S LIKE ACTUALLY
WE DIDN'T MAKE IT HOUSE
COMMITTEE'S PURVIEW STRICTLY
SPEAKING BUT I THINK IT'S A
PLACE WHERE THERE'S STILL A LOT
OF ROOM TO RUN. I'M NOT I ALSO
THINK YOU KNOW THE QUEST OF SORT
OF IMPACT. AND HOUSES. ARE
ASSESSING THE AND WHEN THEY MAKE
SENSE TO. I THINK ANOTHER WAY.
SEES US OBVIOUSLY FISCALLY WITH
THE AFTER SO. THAT POTENTIAL
BUILDING CODE ALL ABOUT NEED TO
GET PUT ON A MICRO. AND THE NEXT
COUPLE OF YEARS. I'M AND THEN
ONE LAST THING- PARTLY BECAUSE
MAKING MOST ABOUT A PUBLIC. I
THINK I DO TALK ABOUT MY REMARKS
TO ADD TO THE THERE'S A HUGE
JUMP. FOR US TO OUT WAYS TO
SERVE BOARDS OF WHAT. YOU READ
ABOUT AGENCIES USED TO DO ONE
PART OF THAT WE TALK A LOT ABOUT
THE TAX INCREMENT ONE BIG PART
OF THAT WAS ACTUALLY JUST LAND
ASSEMBLAGE LAND BANKING. HELPING
FACILITATE- THE DISPOSITION OF
PUBLIC LANDS. THAT'S STILL
MISSING- MISSING. MISSING TWO OR
TO GET. THANK FOR. BUT YOU
CENTER BREAKS FOR. YES WELL
THANK YOU VERY MUCH TO THE
PANEL- AND I DO WANT TO SAY
ALSO. YOU TO CHAIR FOR ORGANIZE
THIS ON THE ASSEMBLY SENATE IT'S
GREAT TO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY
THIS IS A TO BISECT HEARINGS
I'M- REALLY THRILLED TO BE HERE
ON THIS- SO. I COME FROM BEING
THE MAYOR OF THE CITY THAT NEVER
HAD AN APPROVED HOUSING ELEMENT.
AND WHEN I BECAME THE MAYOR OF
THE CITY OF ENCINITAS WE WERE
LOCKED IN A PITCHED BATTLE WITH
AGE CD REGULATORY BATTLE WHERE
BEN METCALF WAS ACTUALLY THE
DIRECTOR. AND WE HAD MULTIPLE
VERY EXPENSIVE LAWSUITS THAT
WERE DRAINING OUR GENERAL FUND.
AND LUCKILY I WAS I AND MY
COLLEAGUES SPENT A LOT OF TIME
OVER MULTIPLE YEARS ENDING THAT
ENTIRE QUAGMIRE AROUND HOUSING.
SO I FEEL VERY WELL- AWARE OF
THE LOCAL BARRIERS TO PRODUCING.
A COMPLIANT HOUSING ELEMENT BUT
ALSO MORE AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND
ALSO HOMELESS SERVING HOUSING.
AND SO WHAT I WHAT I REALLY WANT
TO ASK TODAY IS. THAT IT IT
SEEMS TO ME AND I APPRECIATED
THE DOCUMENTATION YOU PROVIDED
THAT. THEY BASICALLY SAID THAT
PRODUCTION IS RELATIVELY
STAGNANT. DESPITE THE FACT THAT
WE'VE DONE SO MUCH WE PROBABLY
HAVE STEM THE TIDE OF IT GOING
DOWN- THE NUMBER OF UNITS THAT
ARE PRODUCED AND- WE HAVE TWENTY
THOUSAND UNITS OF AFFORDABLE
HOUSING THAT ARE PRODUCED PER
YEAR. AND THEN WE HAVE A REALLY
GOOD GOOD SHOWING WITH AT IS-
BUT- BUT SO RECOGNIZING THAT
TWENTY THOUSAND UNITS OF
AFFORDABLE HOUSING. IS NOWHERE
NEAR THE MILLION WE NEED- WHEN
IT COMES TO THE FOR AFFORDABLE
HOUSING NEEDED TO STEM THE TIDE
OF HOMELESSNESS- AND THE REALITY
THAT THE LACK OF AFFORDABLE
HOUSING IS THE BIGGEST
CONTRIBUTOR TO HOMELESSNESS.
WHEN WE THINK ABOUT THE REALITY
THAT WE ARE ACTUALLY NOT
SUBSTANTIVELY GOING TO BE ABLE
TO MOVE THE NEEDLE ON
HOMELESSNESS. GIVEN THE CURRENT
THE CURRENT SYSTEM THE-
REGULATORY APPROACHES WE HAVE
THE AMOUNT OF MONEY THAT WE'VE
DEDICATED TO THIS- AND SO. I
THINK ALL THE TIME ABOUT HOW CAN
WE EXPAND THE RENEWAL PROCESS TO
INCENTIVIZE. AND THE WORDS THAT
YOU USE TODAY. MAKE WORK CON
WITH THIS. HOW DO WE CREDIT.
WITH THE STATE WITH LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS TO ACTUALLY PROVIDE
HOUSING FOR HOMELESSNESS PUT FOR
HOMELESS PEOPLE- BUT RENO
ALTERNATELY IS ROOTED IN LOCAL
CONTROL IT IS AS WAS SAID IT'S A
PLANNING REQUIREMENT AT THE
BUILDING TARGET. BUT THERE IS NO
PRODUCTION A REQUIREMENT AS PART
OF RINA. AND SO I JUST REALLY
WONDER IF THERE'S I THINK. THAT
IT'S SUCH AN URGENT PROBLEM
HOMELESSNESS AND IT'S GETTING
WORSE EVERY SINGLE MONTH AND WE
NEED TO REALLY FOCUS ON THE
PART. AS WE SAID IT'S NOT THE
CALIFORNIA HAS MORE MENTALLY ILL
OR DRUG ADDICTED PEOPLE THERE'S
THAT SUBPOPULATION WHICH IS
OBVIOUSLY ORIGIN AS WELL BUT
EVERY STATE HAS THAT. BUT WE
HAVE THIS CRITICAL SHORTAGE OF
AFFORDABLE HOUSING SO. WHAT WHAT
CAN WE DO IS IT SURPLUS LANDS
AND THE STATE DIRECTLY BUILDING
HOUSING ON IT SURPLUS LANDS IS
THERE SOME WAY TO REDUCE THE
COST OF THE HOUSING. TO CREATE.
HOMELESS SERVING OR VIRTUALLY
FREE HOUSING PUBLIC HOUSING
SOMETHING IN THAT AREA THAT'S
EITHER TIED TO THE RENEWAL
PROCESS AS THE VERY BOTTOM LAYER
OF IT- THAT THAT IS NOT
CURRENTLY THEIR IN ARENA
PROCESSES SO STRIKING TO ME HOW
MUCH WE TALK ABOUT. IN RENO AND
ENDS AT THE VERY LOW INCOME AND
THE EXTREMELY LOW INCOME BUT
NEVER THE HOMELESS AND SO. LOCAL
GOVERNMENT LOCAL COMMUNITIES
THAT STRUGGLE WITH NIMBYISM. ARE
OFF THE CHARTS NIMBY WHEN IT
COMES TO HELPING HOMELESS PEOPLE
BECAUSE THOSE POPULATIONS ARE
EVEN. LESS SEEMINGLY- WORTHY OF
OUR CONSIDERATION THAN THAN LOW
INCOME PEOPLE WHICH ARE VERY
HARD TO GET IN AND BE
COMMUNITIES TO BUILD FOUR. SO MY
QUESTION REALLY IS TO BAN OR TO
MEGAN TO SAY CAN YOU WHEN YOU
THINK ABOUT THE RENEWAL PROCESS
OR ALTERNATELY OUTSIDE OF THE
READER PROCESS IS THERE A WAY
THAT YOU SEE THAT WE COULD. BE
PROVIDING FOR HOMELESS SERVING
HOUSING IN THE SHORTER TERM
WITHOUT WAITING TEN YEARS TO GET
A MILLION UNITS ON THE HIGH SIDE
OF TRULY AFFORDABLE HOUSING.
BECAUSE WAITING FOR THE SUPPLY
SIDE TO JUST DELIVER THIS IS IT
I JUST FEEL THAT THAT'S STE AND
HONEST. WAIT AND A WE JUST NEED
TO DO BETTER. THANK YOU WILL
JUMP IN THE BACK AND YOU CAN
FOLLOW THAT NUMBER ONE I THINK
THERE ARE MANY OPPORTUNITIES
JUST TO HELP KEEP. OUR MOST
VULNERABLE RENTERS STABLY HOUSED
AND AVOID. THE IMPACT THAT THE
SHOCK OF THEM FALLING ALMOST IN
THE FIRST PLACE SO I THINK.
WE'VE SEEN THE LAST COUPLE OF
YEARS INCREDIBLE POLICY SHIFTS
AROUND THROUGH THINKING ABOUT
THINGS LIKE RENTS STABLE
CIVILIZATION. ALL RIGHT- ACTION
- MURDER. RENTAL ASSISTANCE
FUNDS THE CONSERVING TIME-
SUBSIDIES AGODA VERY VERY VERY
VULNERABLE RENTERS WHO RECENTLY
LOST JOB AROUND HOW THEY SHOULD
KEEP THE HOUSE. THE SECOND IS I
THINK. YOU KNOW ALL THE
QUESTIONS BUILDING MORE HOUSING
TO THE PERMANENT SUPPORTIVE
HOUSING FOR FORMERLY HOMELESS
INDIVIDUALS. I THINK WE HAVE A
COUPLE OF SUCCESS STORIES LOOK
AT HOME HE WASN'T BIG ONES LAST
COUPLE OF YEARS I WAS A MAJOR
DRIVER OF OUR OVERALL PERMITS
FOR HOUSING SUPPLY A LOT OF THAT
DID COME FROM THE CONVERSION OF
EXISTING MOTELS. I THINK THERE'S
A STILL A LOT OF. OPPORTUNITY IN
THAT SPACE OF THE CONVERSION OF
EXISTING APARTMENT BUILDINGS-
I'M BUYING OCCUPIED THE
BUILDINGS BUT A MOVING-
INDIVIDUALS. THEY CAN. THEY OUT
AND A VOUCHER- SO I THINK ARE
THAT WE CAN USE- OBVIOUSLY THEY
WILL. CANCEL THE SYSTEMS ISSUES
ARE PUTTING PEOPLE IN ALMOST THE
FIRST PLACE WILL NEVER BE ABLE
TO KEEP UP. BUT I THINK THERE'S
MORE WE CAN. WE CAN CERTAINLY
YES WE DO THEY ARE DOES REQUIRE
FUNDING AND INVESTMENT FROM
STATE. BANK IT ALSO HAS HELPED
NOW BY FLEXIBILITY RUN MEDICAL
PROGRAM THAT ALLOW US TO.
PROVIDE MANY OF THE SERVICES
THAT USED TO COME OUT OF A
HOUSING STYLE SIDE OF THE STATE
BUDGET CONAKRY'S COMING OF THE
HEALTHCARE SIDE THE BUDGET. I'M
IN THE PROMISED ONE OF HOUSING
THAT'S GOING TO BE A BIG HELP AS
WELL. YEAH I MEAN I THINK ECHO
OF WEAPONS SAID AT THE END- THIS
. HAS TO BE ABOUT. AND HALF BE
ABOUT. THE URGENT. TO AND ON
THAT OF HE- A LOT OF WHAT I
ABOUT IS FOR. BECAUSE COST
BURDEN IS WHAT DRIVING
HOMELESSNESS RATE IF WE DO NOT.
IF YOU IF YOU HAVE PEOPLE PAYING
HIGHER AND HIGHER PERCENTAGES OF
THEIR INCOME TOWARD HOUSING
COSTS EVERY MONTH. THEY ARE
GOING TO BE A CAR BREAKDOWN AWAY
FROM A MUSTACHE LIKE THIS IS
WHERE HOUSING INSTABILITY COMES
FROM IS A LACK OF. OF IS HIGH
COST BURDENS AND A LACK OF
AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND SO WE
HAVE TO BE ADDRESSING THAT. AS
THE UPSTREAM HE SAYS AND I THINK
THE GOOD NEWS IS LIKE WE'RE
SENDING A LOT OF PIECES IN PLACE
TO DO THAT- BUT HOME HE IS A
PIECE OF HOW WE SOLVE THE RIGHT
NOW. AND I THINK. IT'S IMPORTANT
TO THINK ABOUT HOW QUICKLY WE'VE
BEEN ABLE TO MOVE ON THAT YOU
KNOW WE'RE TALKING ABOUT TWO
HUNDRED AND TEN. DIFFERENT SITES
SUCH AS WE WATCH JUST IN TWENTY
TWENTY- OR TALKING ABOUT TWELVE
THOUSAND SEVEN HUNDRED PLUS- NEW
NEW HOUSING UNITS COMING ONLINE.
THAT IS EXPECTED TO SERVE TWO
HUNDRED AND ELEVEN THOUSAND
PEOPLE OVER THE PROJECT'S
AFFORDABILITY TERM. SO HOME HE
HAS TO BE SOMETHING THAT WE
CONTINUE TO DO- THAT'S GOING TO
BE A REALLY IMPORTANT PIECE AND
IT'S A SPEEDY STRATEGY BUT ALSO
PAIRS WITH THAT- A LOT OF THE
THINGS WE KNOW HAVE A LONG TERM
IMPACT. ON ON- ON HELPING PEOPLE
ACCEPT HOMELESSNESS- AND THEN
THE OTHER THING I THINK AND-
SPENT ALMOST TOUCHED ON THIS A
LITTLE BIT BUT- YOU KNOW
PRESERVATION IS AN IMPORTANT
PIECE OF THIS TOO. IT IS- WE
HAVE FUNDED A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT
OF HOUSING OVER TIME. THE LAST
THING ANY OF US WANT IS FOR THAT
HOUSING TO BE LOST AT THE END OF
ITS AFFORDABILITY TERM. IT IS SO
CRITICAL AND- NOT AS MUCH IN MY
SHOP AND OTHERS IN HD. I DO.
THIS REALLY IMPORTANT AND OUR-
OF PRESERVE. AND REHAB. A
DEVELOPMENTS TO KEEP THAT.
HOUSING AS PART OF AS PART OF
THAT PART OF SOLUTION- WE THAT
WE KNOW IT'S A BIG ALMOST AS
RISK WHEN WE- THOSE- THOSE
PORTABLE UNITS CONVERTER MARKET
RATES I THINK PRESERVATION NEEDS
TO CONTINUE TO BE PART OF WHAT
WE'RE DOING- THREAT STOP. THANK
YOU FOR. CENTER COVER OF
FOLLOWED BY A SOME QUIRK'S.
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR- FIRST
LET ME THANK YOU FOR- YOUR
PRESENTATIONS I APPRECIATE THAT
KEY INFORMATION IN THE DATA- LET
ME JUST SAY THAT. THAT THIS IS
AN OVERSIGHT HEARING SO WANT TO
MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE BEING
CRITICAL ABOUT HOW WE LOOK AT
THINGS AND TRYING TO FIGURE OUT
HOW CAN WE DO THIS BETTER- THIS
LEGISLATURE HAS REALLY
PRIORITIZED PUSHING OUT. LARGE
SUMS OF MONEY AND IT'S NOT CLEAR
TO ME FROM THE DIFFERENT
PROGRAMS WHAT'S WORKING AND WHAT
ISN'T- AND BY THAT I MEAN. AND
TO BE MORE SPECIFIC- WHERE IT'S
WORKING AND WHERE IT'S NOT. MY
E. DISTRICT HAS ALWAYS BEEN
RURAL AGRICULTURAL AND WHETHER
I'VE BEEN IN LOCAL GOVERNMENT-
AS A CITY COUNCILMAN AND MEMBER
ANNA MAIER- THE REALITY THE
SITUATION IS BLUE COLLAR
COMMUNITIES TEND TO BUILD
AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND WEALTHY
COMMUNITIES DON'T- AND I HAVEN'T
SEEN A BIG CHANGE IN THAT QUITE
FRANKLY AND SO I'M WONDERING- AS
I LOOK AT SOME OF THE SO. SO BEN
METCALF- I'M WONDERING IF YOU
THERE ARE TRENDS. THAT YOU'VE
SEEN IN THE RESEARCH THAT YOU'RE
YOU'VE DONE WHERE A MAJORITY OF
THE HOUSING IS OCCURRING.
GENERALLY IN THE STATE YOU
TALKED ABOUT THE NUMBER OF UNITS
OVER THE PAST YEAR OR TWO AND
WHERE THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING IS
GOING- AND- ME AND WHAT WHAT
WHAT WHAT WHAT WE CAN TAKE FROM
THAT AND THEN. IN REGARDS TO
THE- OVERVIEW OF STATE HOUSING
SPENDING- THAT WAS PUT TOGETHER
BY THE L. A. O. WHAT WOULD BE
REALLY HELPFUL IS AS YOU LOOK AT
AT ALL OF THESE FUNDS TO
DETERMINE HOW MANY UNITS WERE
CREATED. AGAIN AND WHERE WERE
THEY CREATED SO WE CAN SEE- I
MEAN I WOULD EXPECT THE FORMER
HOUSING FUNDS TO GO INTO RURAL
CALIFORNIA- BUT BEYOND THAT- AND
THE TRANSIT ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT
NOT TO BE IN RURAL CALIFORNIA.
BUT BUT IT WOULD BE REALLY
HELPFUL IF WE COULD LOOK AT THIS
AND GET UP AND UNDERSTANDING OF
WHERE WE'RE PUTTING OUR
RESOURCES AND HOW WE CAN
MAXIMIZE- THE- THE RESOURCES
THAT WE'RE PUTTING OUT THERE TO
CREATED THEM UP THE MOST. AMOUNT
OF UNITS AND ENTERED TO KEY OFF
OF WHAT WAS JUST MENTIONED BY
THE BY THE FORMER THE QUESTIONER
IT IN THE ASSEMBLY IS TO. IS
RATHER THAN. SET UP AS WHERE
WERE. WE'RE FOR LACK OF A OF A
MORE ELEGANT TERM SMACKING
CITIES AND COUNTIES ARE NOT BE
BUILDING THE RENO NUMBERS I'D
LIKE TO THINK THAT. IF YOU'RE
BRICK BUILDING ARENA NUMBERS
THAT THERE ARE BANNY'S YOU GET
THAT THAT. THERE ARE TERRORISTS
OUT THERE THAT YOU GET MONEY TO
HELP BUILD A TRIP THAT TRANSIT-
OPPORTUNITY THAT YOU GET HELP
TO- BUILD THE ROADS AND THE
SEWER AND THE WATER FACILITY SO
THAT. THERE'S REALLY AN
INCENTIVE TO DO THIS I HAVE A
COMMUNITY IN MY DISTRICT THAT-
IS HAS OVER OVER BUILT THEY'VE
SIGNIFICANTLY OVERBUILT THE RENO
NUMBERS IN ALL CATEGORIES
INCLUDING LOW INCOME- AND
THEY'RE BEING TOLD THAT THEY
START FROM SCRATCH THE NEXT.
YEAR AND THERE'S NO BENEFIT I
MEAN IT'S JUST LIKE THANK YOU
VERY MUCH YOU'VE DONE GREAT AND
WE'RE MOVING ON. THE CITY OF
GREENFIELD. IN THE SALINAS
VALLEY AND SO THAT THE QUESTION
BECOMES YOU KNOW HOW CAN WE MAKE
THIS IS A SYSTEM THAT ACTUALLY
INCENTIVIZES IN AND GET THIS
MORE BANG FOR OUR BUCK. SO BEEN
IF YOU'VE GOT AN IDEA ABOUT ANY
TRENDS OR FOR ANY OF THE
SPEAKER'S ACTUALLY ABOUT- WHERE.
WHERE ARE THEM WHEN WE PUT MONEY
IN FUNDS HOW THEY GET.
DISTRIBUTED AROUND THE STATE
THAT THAT MAP THAT WAS USED. ON
THE SCREEN I THOUGHT WAS REALLY
GOOD THE EIGHTY MAP WAS REALLY
GOOD AND I AND I. I THINK THAT'S
WHAT WE NEED FOR ALL OF THESE
FUNDS. THAT SUPPORT OF THE STATE
YOU. NAILED IT I ONE AND ONE
POINT WHICH IS. FRECUENTE OF OUR
FOR. HOUSING SUB DELIVERIES IS
PROBLEMATIC JUST NOT A SOMEHOW
BUILD THIS FEWER SCHOOL. I THINK
IT IS IMPORTANT FOR. THINK ABOUT
WAYS IN WHICH WE CAN. CHANNEL
MORE SERVE NEW MONIES INTO
SINGLE CORE PROGRAMS OF THE
NUMBER. OF FLAVORS TO THEM AS
OPPOSED TO HAVING A
PROLIFERATION FOR PROGRAMS THAT
THEN REQUIRE. DELIVER FOR AWHILE
INDUSTRY COBBLE TOGETHER- AND
STACKING COMPLICATED TYPE. IN
SOME WAYS. THE PROPOSAL WHERE
THE HOUSING IS GETTING BILL. I
THINK YOU'RE- IS THE CORRECT FOR
MUCH OF THE HOW AND HAPPY AND
CAL. TODAY BUT I WOULD SAY AGAIN
IF YOU THINK OF THE JEWS WERE
SUCCESS STORIES OF THE LAST FIVE
YEARS AS BEING ONE EIGHTY USE
ANY OTHER. SUBSIDIZED AFFORDABLE
HOUSING IT'S INTERESTING TO NOTE
THAT THE DISTRIBUTION OF BOTH OF
THOSE HAS SHIFTED OVER TIME
TOWARDS ARE MORE AFFLUENT. A
RELATIVELY HIGHER OPPORTUNITY
AREAS- MOST OF THE STATE'S
AFFORDABLE HOUSING WAS
HISTORICALLY BEING CITED. AND
HIGHER POVERTY NEIGHBORHOODS-
THE STATE HAS BOTH THROUGH
ZONING CHANGES AND THROUGH
PRIORITIES AND SCORING SYSTEM.
THREE SB THIRTY FIVE ENABLE A
LOT MORE ABOUT HOUSING TO GET
BUILT MUCH MORE EVENLY ACROSS-
HIGHER LOWER OPPORTUNITY REGIONS
BUT MANY USERS WELL ARE
DISPROPORTIONATELY GETTING BUILT
TODAY CALIFORNIA IN TERMS.
WEALTHIER INVOLVED HERE
COMMUNITIES TO SO I THINK THAT
THOSE ARE THE PLACES THOUGH
THOSE TWO PIECES ARE WE SEE SOME
SOME SOME SOME BETTER
DISTRIBUTION. THAN WE DO WITH.
US FOR MAINSTREAM WORKFORCE OR.
HOME BUILDER ACTIVITY. I MEAN
ADD TO THAT THE RIGHT LAKE. YOU
KNOW YOU TALK ABOUT. THE GENERAL
OF THINGS THAT HAVE TO. BUT THEY
WERE THE WAY FOR MANY. RIGHT AND
SO. WERE SUCCESSFUL INCLUDED
POLITICIZING THE REALLOCATION
WHICH MEANT THAT CERTAIN
JURISDICTIONS DOT LAST HOUSING
THE PLAN FOR SO THEY DIDN'T HAVE
TO ZONE FOR AS MUCH OF THE
FAMILY HOUSING YOU COMBINE THAT
WITH. UNITY OPPOSITION THAT
DIDN'T USED TO HAVE AN
ACCOUNTABILITY UNIT TO ADDRESS
THAT AND YOU COMBINE THAT WITH
THE FACT THAT A LOT OF
JURISDICTIONS THAT WERE NOT
FRIENDLY TO MULTI FAMILY
HOUSING- THE AND DIDN'T HAVE THE
DENSITY IS JUST SUPPORTER
TRANSIT SYSTEM. SO THEN OUR OUR
HOUSING AND PROGRAMS I WANT YOU
TO BE NEAR TRANSIT AND- ALL OF
THESE THINGS SORT OF REINFORCE
AND BUILD ON EACH OTHER TO A
PLACE WHERE YOU. HAVE A
PORTFOLIO THAT'S IMBALANCED AND
DOESN'T CREATE HOUSING CHOICE-
IN ALL TYPES OF COMMUNITIES IN
AND ALL- REGIONS AND SO I MEAN I
AM DRAMATICALLY PROUD OF THE
WORK THAT WE'VE DONE TO SORT OF
BEGIN TO CHANGE COURSE THERE- I
THINK IT'S I THINK IT'S-
IMPORTANT. AND WE'RE DOING IT ON
BOTH SIDES WE'RE DOING IT ON.
THAT THE ARENA IS LESS
POLITICIZED THAN IT USED TO BE
SO THIS HOUSING TARGETS TO START
WITH- DIFFERENT. THAT MEANS
WE'RE GONNA SEE DIFFERENT KINDS
OF ZONING IN WEALTHIER
COMMUNITIES THAN WE'VE EVER SEEN
BEFORE. WE'RE ALSO. REALIZING
OUR PROGRAMS MAY HAVE HAD SOME
UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES BY. I'M
THINKING ABOUT TRANSIT BUT NOT
THINKING ABOUT JOB CENTERS AS IT
IS A PATH TO- REDUCING DRIVING
AND COMMUTES AND SO. ALL THOSE
THINGS ARE ARE HERE AND ARE ARE
CREATING CHANGE IN TERMS OF
WHERE THAT HOUSING CHOICE IS
AVAILABLE AND AFFORDABLE HOUSING
PORTFOLIO- BUT WE'VE BEEN ON
THAT PATH FOR PROBABLY FIVE
YEARS AND WE ARE ON THE OTHER
PASSED. FOR MANY DECADES AND SO
IT'S GONNA TAKE. TIME FOR THAT
BALANCE IN THE PORTFOLIO TO BE
KEPT CALM- AND OF COURSE PEOPLE
MAKE PLAN IN PURCHASE DECISIONS
WAY FAR ADVANCE AND SO THEY IS
THIS IS NOT. BEEN ALL CHANGED
FROM BUT IT WE'RE ON THE PATH
WE'RE SEEING THE CHANGE IN OUR
PER THERE SHOULD. US THE THIS IS
IT'S WORK. SO I THINK I THINK WE
FEEL GOOD ABOUT ABOUT A LOT OF
THAT. THAT IS GOOD NEWS I
APPRECIATE YOUR COMMENTS THANK
YOU. THANK YOU SENATOR. ASSEMBLY
MEMBER QUIRK-SILVA. SENATE
FOLLOWED BY CENTER WILL HALT
YEAH. GOOD AFTERNOON AND THANK
YOU FOR THE PANELISTS I. MIGHT
BOND APPRECIATE THE INFORMATION.
I TO. HAVE SOME QUESTIONS BUT I
GUESS I'LL JUST ZERO IN ON TWO
AREAS EIGHTY USE IN THE SURPLUS
LAND. OF COURSE WE CAN CELEBRATE
THAT MANY MORE EIGHTY USE- ARE
BEING BUILT I HAVE IN FACT HAD
SOME LEGISLATION TO HELP
CLARIFY- OF WHAT'S HAPPENING IN
THE EIGHTY YOU. WHAT WAS NOTED
BY MY COLLEAGUE HERE FROM. THE
CENTRAL VALLEY ABOUT I THINK YOU
JUST SAID THAT ABOUT EIGHTY USE
BILL IS BEING BUILT IN WEALTHIER
AREAS- THE IT MAKES SENSE
BECAUSE AGAIN YOU HAVE TO OWN
YOUR OWN HOME YOU HAVE TO
CHOOSE. TO WANT TO BUILD ON YOUR
PROPERTY AND YOU HAVE TO HAVE
ACCESS TO CAPITAL. WE'VE SEEN A
VERY LACK OF ACCESS TO CAPITAL
RELATED TO AD YOU BUILDING NOW
LAST YEAR IN THE BUDGET WE HAD-
SUPPORT FOR APPLICATIONS FORTY
THOUSAND WE KNOW THAT WAS. OVER
SUBSCRIBED TO AND I THINK-
MEDIATE LEE BUT WE ALSO SAW-
PEOPLE TAKING INTO IN WORKSHOPS
FOR INDIVIDUALS SO THEY COULD
DETAIN THAT FORTY THOUSAND BUT
WE DIDN'T PUT ANY I THINK OF.
GUARDRAILS AROUND WHO COULD GET
ACCESS TO THAT SO AGAIN ANY UNIT
BEING BUILT IN THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA IS IMPORTANT TO ME
BECAUSE IT MEANS SOMEBODY'S
GOING TO BE IN HOUSE WE DON'T
KNOW WHO'S BEING HOUSED IN AGAIN
IT VERY WELL COULD BE. THE GRAND
MOTHER OR THE MOTHER IN LAW OR
THE THIRTY YEAR OLD. COUPLE
COMING HOME AND THAT THAT'S A
GOOD THING BUT I DO THINK WE
HAVE TO GO BACK AS A BODY AND
LOOK TO ACCESS TO CAPITAL FOR
FAMILIES WHO DO NOT WANT TO.
TAKE A SECOND OUT ON THEIR HOME.
AND ENCOURAGE OTHERS TO JOIN IN
THIS I WOULD SAY ALSO THERE IS
NOT A RUN ON EIGHTY USE MEANING
WE HAVE I THINK YOU SAID TWENTY
THOUSAND ACROSS THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA THAT. IS A DEFINITELY
AN INCREASE. BUT IT IS- SOME
WE'LL GET NOW- THAT WILL SAY YOU
KNOW EVERYBODY'S BUILDING IN A
DO YOU AND WE KNOW THAT SIMPLY
NOT TRUE- BUT IF WE COULD GET
MORE INFORMATION ON THE ACCESS
TO THE CAPITAL EITHER BY THE
SPEAKERS ARE BY OUR BODY. ON WHO
ACTUALLY GOT THOSE FORTY
THOUSAND DOLLAR GRANTS. BECAUSE
WHAT I UNDERSTAND THEY'RE
ALREADY USED AND THERE THE MONEY
IS ALREADY BEEN PUT OUT BUT WHO
GOT THAT MONEY. THE LAST THING
THAT'LL TALK ABOUT IS A SURPLUS
LAND I THINK YOU I'M LOOKING UP
BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE YOU. WE'RE
COMING FROM BUT I KNOW- IS ON
THE SURPLUS LAND I ACTUALLY DID
INDEED ASKED FOR AN AUDIT WHICH
WAS DONE AND WE FOUND. OUT THAT
THERE'S OVER FOUR THOUSAND
PIECES OF SURPLUS LAND ACROSS
THE STATE AND YET WE FOUND AT
THAT TIME THERE WAS ONLY ABOUT
TWENTY OF THOSE FOUR THOUSAND
PROPERTIES THAT HAD ANY PLANS TO
START BUILDING. A SO I AM A I
KNOW ONE OF THE PARTS OF MY OF
THE AUDIT WAS THAT THERE WOULD
BE A WEBSITE TO MAKE SURE-
INDIVIDUALS OR DEVELOPERS CAN
SEE WHERE THESE LANDS ARE SEE IF
A PROJECT CAN BE PROPOSED AND
GET IT MOVING SO. AGAIN I DIDN'T
I THINK IT WOULD BE BANNED I
MASCHINE- HAVE YOU FOLLOWED THAT
BECAUSE AGAIN IF WE DON'T EVEN
HAVE APPLICATIONS- INTEREST IN
THESE PROPERTIES YET WE'RE
LOOKING FIVE YEARS. OUT BEFORE
WE CAN SEE ANY HOUSING SO IF
THERE'S ANY COMMENTS ON THE
SURPLUS PROPERTY THANK YOU. I
THINK THIS IS THE ACCESS LANDS.
PROGRAM IS A HUGE OPPORTUNITY
FOR THE STATE AND A GREAT
SUCCESS STORY- BUT IT'S BEEN
REALLY BECAUSE YOU POINT A
CLUNKY AND THE THROUGHPUT HAS
BEEN VERY ANEMIC. COMPANY DO
THINK THERE ARE GREAT
OPPORTUNITIES THERE ARE OUT
SKILLED THE LARGE NUMBERS OF
UNITS IN THE RIGHT PLACES AND
ALSO THE USE. OF THE POWERS OF
THE STATE ALSO MAKE IT EASIER TO
GO FASTER STATUS ACTIVE. ON THE
DISPOSITION OPPORTUNITIES FROM
THE CITIES TO FLEX MORE OF IN
TERMS OF USING ITS OWNING USING
ITS PERMITTING USING ITS SEQUEL
ABILITY. TO DO THINGS THAT
NORMAL DEVELOPMENT CAN DO AND DO
IT FASTER CHEAPER. SO THERE'S A
THERE'S A OPPORTUNITY ARE IF YOU
. I THANK. ONE OF THE REAL. HERE
IS IT'S IN THE- MARKET MORE
MORTGAGE MARK FOR SOME FAMILY
HOMEOWNERS TO BE ABLE TO
ACTUALLY FINANCE- THE PROCEEDS
TO BE ABLE TO FACILITATE THE
CONSTRUCTION OF THOSE EIGHTY USE
. THE PRICE WAY THAT MOST
CALIFORNIANS TODAY THEIR
MORTGAGES ARE HELD BY FANNIE
FREDDIE FHA AND FANNIE FREDDIE
FHA. HAVE NOT REALLY HAD
MORTGAGE PRODUCTS THAT WORK FOR
ABOUT PULLING OUT MONEY TO DO IF
YOU CONSTRUCTION. I THINK WE'VE
CALIFORNIA SUCCESS THOSE FEDERAL
AGENCIES ARE BEGINNING TO PAY
ATTENTION WE SAW LAST YEAR
FREDDIE MAC BEGIN TO. ALLOW FOR
THE UNDERWRITING SOME OF THE
RENTAL INCOME OF FHA- JUST PUT
OUT A RULEMAKING NOTICE A MONTH
AGO. ASKING FOR FEEDBACK ON HOW
TO DO THE SAME THING- BUT I WILL
NOTE THAT THE THAT THAT FIFTY
MILLION DOLLARS THAT HAD BEEN.
PROPOSED BUT- OR THE WAS IN THE
BUDGET LAST YEAR BUT TO HELP.
THINK ABOUT HOW CALIFORNIA
BETTER LEVERAGE THESE-
GOVERNMENT BACKED. FEDERAL
MORTGAGES- WAS PROPOSED
RESCISSION BY THE GOVERNOR
GENERAL. BUT I THINK IT IS A
MISTAKE. I THINK THAT'S ACTUALLY
A MUCH MORE EFFECTIVE KIND OF
TOOL TO BE ABLE. TO LEVERAGE
THE- MORTGAGE PRODUCTS CAN GET
TO SCALE MUCH MORE. THAN WRITING
EVERY HOMEOWNER FORTY THOUSAND
DOLLAR CHECK WHAT ONE BY ONE.
I'M SITTING THERE SOME SOME
THINKING THAT- IS ONE TO
REMEMBER. IF A GREAT LOSS WHAT.
THANK YOU- THANK TO THE CHAIRS
FOR FISCAL. THE SO DIFFERENT TO
THE BECAUSE I KNOW THAT WE'RE
FOCUSING MOSTLY ON- IN
PARTICULAR DEVELOPMENT- ONE OF
MY BIGGEST CONCERNS ON A LOT OF
THE HOUSING DISCUSSIONS IS THAT-
YOU KNOW WE'RE WE'RE TALKING
ABOUT. PRODUCTION AND TRYING TO
MAKE SURE THAT WE YOU KNOW WE
PRODUCE AS MUCH AS WE CAN AND
MAKE IT STREAMLINED AND SO
FORTH. BUT WHEN IT COMES TO
PRESERVING AND PROTECTING AND
THERE'S NOT A LOT OF
CONVERSATION THERE- IN
PARTICULAR- EIGHTY USE FOR
EXAMPLE- COST IS. YOU KNOW GOOD
CHUNK OF MONEY I'D TO DEVELOP-
IT ALSO ONLY HAPPENS IN AREAS
THAT ACTUALLY DO HAVE LAND TO
DEVELOP- AND IT'S ALSO NOT
NECESSARILY RENTED OUT TO- NON
FAMILY MEMBERS- AS WELL AS- IT'S
AT MARKET RATES- WHEN WE TALK
ABOUT AFFORDABILITY. THERE'S NO
REAL DISCUSSION ON AFFORDABLE.
HOUSING AND IT PARTICULARLY I
MEAN BY. INVESTMENTS AND
PROTECTING AGAINST- CERTAIN
INVESTMENTS EVEN WITH THE BILLS
THAT HAVE COME OUT WHERE WE ARE
SPLITTING LOTS AND SO FORTH- THE
CONCERN THAT I HAVE IS THAT A
LOT OF THE FLAT LANDS ARE
PURCHASED AND- THE HOMES ARE
DEMOLISHED AND- OBVIOUSLY UP
ZONE TO- TO. YOU KNOW BUILD A
COUPLE MORE UNITS AND SO FORTH-
WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN REGARDS TO
DEED RESTRICTED- TACKLING THE
VACANCIES- THAT WE ARE SEEING IN
MULTI FAMILY COMPLEXES AND- JUST
AFFORDABILITY ACROSS. THE BOARD
IT'S NOT JUST A DEVELOPMENT
PROBLEM. I AM WHAT AM I THINK
THERE IS A FEW THINGS THERE I'LL
SAY ON THAT- MONDAY EIGHTEEN
PIECE I THINK- THERE WERE SOME
REALLY SMART DECISIONS EARLY ON
TO BE THINKING ABOUT. FIVE NOT
JUST- THE OPENING THE PATHWAY
FOR NEW DEVELOPMENT EVERY NEW
BUT ALSO BEING A LOT OF
JURISDICTIONS- HAVE MADE JUST IF
YOU'RE REALLY. TRYING TO BRING
IN FROM THE COLD- THAT-
ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS THAT
MAY HAVE BEEN UNPERMITTED IN THE
PAST- AND KIND OF BRING THAT-
INTO LEGITIMACY AND I THINK THAT
HAS BEEN A VERY IMPORTANT PIECE
OF THE EQUITY CONVERSATION THE
EIGHTY YEAR IS NOT JUST LIKE THE
NEW CREATION OF IDEAS BUT- ARE
WE HOW ARE WE- HELPING PEOPLE
SORT OF LEGITIMIZED- HOUSING
THAT MAY HAVE BEEN CREATED OVER
TIME- THE- WE ARE STILL SEEING-
I'M EDUS AS AA. AFFORDABLE BY
DESIGN- SOLUTION EVEN WHEN THERE
IS NOT THE RESTRICTIONS THAT'S
NOT TO SAY THAT THE DEED
RESTRICTIONS WOULDN'T- PROMOTE
LONG TERM AFFORDABILITY OR BE BE
SOMETHING TO CONSIDER- BUT WE
ARE STILL SEEING- THEM BE AT
PEACE A HOUSING CHOICE THAT IS
THAT IS OFFERING A DIFFERENT
RENTAL PRICE THAN- THAN SINGLE
FAMILY HOMES. I ADD NEW
CONSTRUCTION- AND THEN I THINK
YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT THAT
PRESERVATION PIECE AS WELL-
WE'RE WE'RE REALLY GRATEFUL THAT
THERE'S BEEN A RECOGNITION ON
THE PRESERVATION SPACE- AND WE
DO HAVE A- BOMB PRESERVATION
PROGRAM IN EACH CD THAT'S
LOOKING AT THAT OLD PORTFOLIO IS
MAKING SURE WE'RE WE'RE KEEPING
TRACK OF IT. IS REALLY LOOKING
TO JUMP INTO SOME OF THESE HARD
AND AGING PROPERTIES AND
PRESERVE THEM- AND SO I THINK I
THINK THAT'S IMPORTANT WORK AND
I THINK WE NEED TO KEEP DURING
AT- I YOU MENTIONED A- THIRD.
TIME PIECE WHICH WOULD THE BACON
RATE AND OUR BIG RATE IS
ACTUALLY PRETTY LOW- THAT'S NOT
TO SAY THERE ISN'T WORK TO DO
THERE- BUT- WE CAN FOLLOW UP I'M
GETTING YOU KNOW THAT WE CAN
FOLLOW UP WITH SPECIFIC STATS ON
THAT IF YOU LIKE SHOCK MORE
ABOUT THE BIG. THREE YEAH I KNOW
I WOULD LIKE TO TALK ABOUT THE
VACANCY RATES BECAUSE THERE ARE
NEW BUILDINGS GOING UP AND- THAT
THE AMOUNT THAT THEY ARE
CHARGING FOR RENT AND SO FORTH-
THEY'RE ACTUALLY NOT FILLING-
THE SPACE EVEN. I WILL SAY EVEN
CAPITOL TOWERS IN SACRAMENTO-
BUT ONE OF THE OTHER CONCERNS
THAT I DO HAVE IS WHEN WE ARE
TALKING ABOUT PRESERVING-
NATURALLY AFFORDABLE UNITS- IF
YOU TAKE A LOOK AT THE LIGHT
TECH FUNDS. AND HOW IT'S BEING
UTILIZED AND HOW MANY PEOPLE
WERE AFFECTED- YOU KNOW WHAT OR
THE SAFE SAFEGUARDS THAT WE'RE
PUTTING IN PLACE- TO CORRECT BAD
ACTORS. NEAT I MEAN JUST SO YOU
KNOW WE ARE CANNOT A THE READING
ON THIS BUT SHE DOES HAVE
STORAGE OF OVER PRESERVATION
NOTICE LAW AS WELL- WHICH I'M
CAN PREVENT THAT TYPE OF THING
FROM HAPPENING. AT A MINIMUM-
ALLOWS FOR BETTER NOTICING OF
THE TENANTS AND- NO RATE
INCREASES UNTIL THAT PROPER
NOTICING HAS BEEN DONE. IT ALSO
REQUIRES NOTICING OF POTENTIAL
AFFORDABLE BUYERS- TO TAKE OVER
THOSE PROPERTIES IN ADVANCE- AND
THEY'RE SORT OF A RIGHT OF FIRST
REFUSAL I'M TO THE AFFORDABLE
COMMUNITIES FOR THE SALE OF THIS
PROPERTY. YOUR CURRENT
PRESERVATION OF THIS LOSS SO
THAT'S SOMETHING THAT DIDN'T
USED TO HAVE ACCOUNTABILITY
BEHIND IT'S A LAW THAT'S BEEN ON
THE BOOKS BUT NOBODY WAS
NECESSARILY ENFORCING IT. I AM
SO I DO THINK THAT'S OF IT BUT
THE CHANGE- AND SHOULD SHOULD
RESULT AND- MOVEMENT NOT SPACES
WHILE. PROTECTING THE SENATE
THANK YOU AND I WOULD LIKE FOR
YOUR OFFICE TO FOLLOW UP WITH MY
OFFICE WITH. DETAILS. AND FACTS
AND FIGURES THANK YOU. THANK YOU
VERY MUCH OUR NEXT CHRIS FOLLOW
BY CENTER VIDEO. THANK YOU
MISTER- MY CALL. EARLY AT HIM AS
- TO MR. AND PERSONAL ME JUST
SAY. AGREED APPRECIATE ATTENTION
ON ACCESS LANDS ANSWER PROP- IT
IT I DO THINK FOR PURPOSES OF
HERE. AND POLICY WE SHOULD. BE
VERY- GOOD ABOUT DISTINGUISHING
BETWEEN THOSE TWO DIFFERENT.
THOSE TWO DIFFERENT KINDS OF
PROPERTIES- OBVIOUSLY SURPLUS
PROPERTIES BEING. CITY COUNTY
LOCAL AGENCY PROPERTIES SOME OF
WHICH HAVE TO GO THROUGH- THEIR
OWN PROCESSES- TO BE CORD
SURPLUS SOME OF THEM WHICH LOCAL
ENTITIES WILL REFER TO A SURPLUS
WHICH ARE REALLY SURPLUS- IN THE
SENSE THAT THEY WANT TO SELL
THEM. BUT THEY ARE MADE
AVAILABLE FOR GROUND LEASES IN
FOR JOINT VENTURE OPPORTUNITIES-
TO BRING REVENUE INTO THOSE TO
DIVERSIFY PORTFOLIOS IN THOSE
LOCAL ENTITIES- BUT- I
APPRECIATE THE WORK DONE BEFORE
I GOT HERE A COUPLE YEARS AGO-
APPRECIATE THE WORK REFERRED TO
BY SUMMER QUIRK-SILVA. THE
MAPPING WORK- THAT'S BEEN
ORDERED UP- AND- I ALSO WANTED
TO SAY WINEMAKING KNOWLEDGE TEAM
CONTRIBUTIONS- I AM REALLY-
ENCOURAGED- BY THE NEW MEMBERS
THAT HAVE COME IN- IT PARTICULAR
TO OUR HOUSE BECAUSE I KNOW
THEM. BETTER SO FAR AND AS SOON
THE SAME THING MAY HAVE BEEN
HAPPENING IN THE ASSEMBLY BUT
WITH OF LOCAL GOVERNMENT
EXPERIENCE- YOU KNOW VERY VERY
FRESH RECENT LOCAL GOVERNMENT
EXPERIENCE COMING IN HERE- IF
YOU KNOW THOSE OF US WHO- HAVE
ALSO HAVE THAT EXPERIENCE. BUT I
WILL SAY AT LEAST FOR ME OF FOR
EACH MONTH THAT I AM BUT I'M
REMOVED FROM. THOSE MEETINGS IN
THOSE HEARINGS IN THOSE FACE TO
FACE DISCUSSIONS ABOUT THINGS
LIKE EIGHTY USE- IT GETS A
LITTLE BIT MORE CONCEPTUAL AND
OFTEN A LOT LESS. IN A REAL IN
TERMS OF IMPLEMENTATION AND I
THINK IMPLEMENTATION IS. WHERE
WE REALLY NEED TO FOCUS- MISTER
MEDICARE IF. YOU WERE. TALKING
ABOUT. WHAT COULD BE- HUGE
UPSIDE POTENTIAL IF I'M NOT
MISCARRIAGE RAISING YOUR
STATEMENT ON. IT WITH REGARD TO
SURPLUS LANDS IN- AGAIN I AGREE
WITH THAT WHOLE HEARTEDLY. WE
RAN A BILL THAT WAS SIGNED INTO
LAW SB SEVEN NINETY ONE- WHICH
CALLED FOR THE STANDING UP OF A
TECHNICAL ADVISORY GROUP IN A CD
TO WORK WITH LOCAL AGENCIES
INCLUDING SCHOOL DISTRICTS.
OTHER FRANKLY DON'T HAVE THE
CAPACITY TO GO OUT AND HIRE
EXPENSIVE CONSULTANTS AND GO
THROUGH AND USE PROCESSES ON
THEIR OWN TIME TO TRY TO GET
SURPLUS PROPERTY PUT INTO PLAY-
BUT- AS AS SORT OF A SEPARATE
QUESTION I'D LIKE TO ASK- THE
CITY- REPRESENTATIVE TO- IF
POSSIBLE THE DEPUTY DIRECTOR TO
INDICATE. HOW THAT'S GOING HOW
THE TECHNICAL BUT IF WHETHER OR
NOT IT'S THE DIVISION IS BEING
CREATED. AND OF WHAT KIND OUR
REACH IS BEING DONE- BUT- IN MY
CONVERSATIONS WITH EACH CD.
THROUGH NO FAULT OF THE CD'S-
THERE'S VERY VERY LIMITED
CAPACITY TO DEAL WITH THOUSANDS
OF ACCESS PLANS OF THE STATE HAS
SCORED A LOAN- A MULTIPLIER
EFFECTIVE OF THOUSANDS AND
THOUSANDS AND- HUNDREDS OF
THOUSANDS OF PIECES SURPLUS
PROPERTY THAT LOCAL GOVERNMENTS
HAVE. I THINK HE REFERRED TO IT
AT THE TIME IS ARE SMALL BUT
MIGHTY TEAM IS TRYING TO GET
THIS DONE. SO THE CD HOW'S THAT
GOING NUMBER ONE WHAT WE NEED TO
DO- TO SUPPORT AN INCREASE OF
CAPACITY TO GET THIS WORK DONE-
WHAT DO YOU NEED FROM US- IF
INDEED THIS LEGISLATURE WANTS TO
SEE- THE SURPLUS LANDS. ACT IN
EXCESS LANDS FULLY MAXIMIZE AN
OPTIMIZED. IN IN IN ADDITION TO
THAT CAPACITY QUESTION ME JUST.
SIX MR MCAFEE LIKE TO HEAR FROM
YOU MORE SPECIFICALLY WHAT WE
NEED TO DO SO IT'S NOT CLUNKY-
SO THAT YOU KNOW WE CAN- THE
ACCELERATE RAPIDLY ACCELERATE. I
APPRECIATE THE FACT THAT THERE'S
FIFTY ONE HUNDRED ACCESS. YOU
KNOW. DEVELOP SUPPORT PROPERTIES
I GUESS THOSE ARE INCLUDED TO
ONLY MUNICIPAL- PARCELS IN IN
ABOUT FIVE THOUSAND SURPLUS. BUT
THE BAY AREA ALONE OF COURSE HAS
A FOUR HUNDRED AND FORTY
THOUSAND RINA- GREEN A GOAL ON
THE NEXT PLANNING HORIZON ALONE
SO. WHILE EVERY LITTLE BIT HELPS
WE'RE OBVIOUSLY NOT GOING TO GET
THERE AT THAT PACE. NOR DO I
EXPECT SURPLUS LANDS ANNEXES
LANDS OR OR THE SILVER BULLET
BUT IT JUST SEEMS LIKE WHEN
THERE'S THOUSANDS OF PIECES OF
PROPERTY OUT THERE INCLUDING IN
THE BAY AREA- IT THAT WE SHOULD
BE DOING WHATEVER WE CAN IN
TERMS OF- IT'LL- BEEN IN THE
GOVERNOR'S OFFICE TRYING TO
SUPPLY THE TOOLS NECESSARY TO
SPEED THINGS UP. SO PLEASE REACT
TO THE OTHER IF YOU WILL THANK
YOU. WELL THAT'S GREAT I YES SIR
ABSOLUTELY I THINK MORE
TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE TRAINING
RESOURCES FROM LOCAL GOVERNMENTS
TO HELP THEM UNDERSTAND WHAT
DISPOSITION PROCESS IS ACTUALLY
ENTAIL AND HOW TO THE WHILE
CRITICALLY IMPORTANT NUMBER TWO.
MORE STAFF CAPACITY IN SUPPORT
OF THE STATE LEVEL TO THE
DEPARTMENT AND SERVICES ARE.
AVAILABLE TO HELP THERE AS WELL.
THAT'S JUST A THERE'S ALSO
ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY LIKE A BIG
ONE EVEN BIGGER ONE WHICH IS. I
THINK. THERE IS A FINITE AMOUNT
OF LAND IN THE STATE'S COME
YOU'LL MOVE THROUGH ITS CHANNEL
I THINK WE ARE GOING TO ALWAYS
STRUGGLE WITH THE SCHOOL
DISTRICT FOR SCHOOL DISTRICT HAS
NEVER DONE THIS POSITION BEFORE.
I DO THINK WE'RE CRYING OUT HERE
FOR. EMPOWERING LOCALLY
ACCOUNTABLE REGIONAL GOVERNMENT
GOVERNMENT GOVERNMENT ENTITIES.
BOB THAT CAN ACTUALLY BE THE
CUSTODIAN OF BOTH THE LOCAL AND
POSSIBLY SOME OF THE STATE LANDS
AS WELL. AND TO THE DISPOSITION
I THINK WE'RE BEGINNING TO SEE
MORE ATTENTION ON THE- ISSUE
LIKE REGIONAL HOUSING AGENCIES.
OVER THERE YET BAY AREA HOUSING
FIND AUTHORITY BY OFTEN YOU
BEFORE IT DOESN'T HAVE A THREE
TO HOLD. IT'S LIKE THEIR THEIR
WE NEED TO TRY THINKING ABOUT WE
GET TO PASS THE- LOCALLY CARE.
RE REGION ENTITIES LIKE IT TAKES
OF THE LOWER THE SMOKE. AND
ABOUT THE CLASS IS. TO GET
PROPOSED TO STAY LANDS AND ALL
LEVEL THINK THAT'S OLD. A
PREVIEW. FALL THROUGH THE CHIU
BEFORE. THE CITY RESP. YOU KNOW
AS AS A FORMER. MTC CHAIR RICK
THE BEER HOUSING FOR. THE AND
THERE IN A WOMEN'S CHOOSE. WILL
WAS ENACTED THE BILL. A PARTIAL
IT MIGHT BE BEEN COURSE AT THE
COMMISSION'S. IN A PER THAT SAYS
. THAT THE HOUSING FINANCE CAN
ACCEPT- BEGIN ACQUISITION CAN
ACQUIRE IT CAN ACCEPT SURPLUS
PROPERTIES WITHIN ITS
JURISDICTION OF FOR JOINT
VENTURES- IN IN AFFORDABLE
HOUSING FINANCING OPPORTUNITIES
I JUST MET WITH HIM TO SEE A BIG
THIS MORNING THEY HAVEN'T.
RECEIVED OR SOUGHT TO MY
KNOWLEDGE EVEN ONE PROPERTY IN
THAT REGARD SO THE LEGISLATION'S
THERE. THE LAW IS THEY'RE
THEY'RE ALLOWED TO DO IT- I.
AGAIN AND I PRE YOUR COMMENTS
BUT- I AM STILL NOT HEARING.
WHAT'S THE MECHANISM FOR US TO.
BEYOND PASSING THE LAW AND IN
ENABLING THEM TO DO IT TO
ACTUALLY HAVE IT HAPPEN SO
ANYWAY I. I WON'T INTERRUPT US.
AGAIN MISTER CHAIRMAN THANKS FOR
LET ME PULL UP. WELL AND I AM
HAPPY TO KIND OF RECORD A LITTLE
BIT I'M ON HOW WE'RE DOING IT
WITH THAT SEVEN NINETY ONE
IMPLEMENTATION AND I THINK- I
THINK IT'S A- IT'S A GREAT PIECE
OF LEGISLATION AND I THINK
YOU'RE SPOT ON FOR MODEL OF
THOSE I TALKED TO. AND THERE CAN
BE A SENSE OF OVERWHELM WITH THE
SURPLUS LAND ACT AND- A LOT OF
CHANGE IN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME
AND SO- WHAT WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO
REALLY REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF
TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE TOOLS WE
RIGHT ON OUR WEBSITE BEING
TEMPLATES- FOR FOLKS TO USE-
WERE ALSO REALLY STAFFING UP.
THERE AND YOU TAKE SOME OF THE
LESSONS LEARNED WE LEARNED FROM
OUR STATE ACCESS SITES PROGRAMS
THAT UNDER UTILIZED STATE LAND
BURKE WE ARE PUTTING IT OUT FOR
AFFORDABLE DEVELOPMENT. TO
REALLY LOOK TAKE A LOT OF THE
THINGS WE'VE LEARNED FROM DOING
THOSE ARE VIEWS FOR THOSE. FOR
THOSE PARCELS OF LAND M. AND
TURN THOSE INTO TO LOOK AT THAT
LOCALS CAN BASICALLY TAKE OFF
THE SHELF- IF THEY WANT TO-
START DOING ART PIECE ON THERE
SURPLUS LAND. THERE'S ALSO BEEN
A LOT OF DEVELOPMENT IN THE
MAPPING SPACE SO WE HAVE SOME
SOME NEW TOOLS THERE TO REALLY
START TO IT YOU KNOW AMPLIFY.
WHAT IS AVAILABLE. AND I'LL SAY
ANOTHER ANOTHER REALLY IMPORTANT
PIECE OF THE PUZZLE AND EIGHT
EIGHT THIS CAN BE REALLY HARD TO
GRASP WHEN YOU'RE NOT LIVING IN
THE HOUSING ELEMENT. HOUSING
PLANNING WORLD EVERY DAY. BUT
THERE'S SO MUCH GOING ON. IN
TERMS OF THESE EIGHT YEAR
COMMITMENTS THAT LOCAL
JURISDICTIONS ARE MAKING. AND
FOR MANY MANY JURISDICTIONS THIS
IS THE FIRST TIME THEY'RE REALLY
SITTING DOWN AND THINKING ABOUT.
FROM AN EIGHT YEAR PLANNING
PERSPECTIVE ONE OF MY GOING TO
DEAL WITH MY SURPLUS LAND. AND
SO WE HAVE COUNTLESS
JURISDICTIONS THAT ARE MAKING
SOME OF THOSE. HOUSING ELEMENT
COMMITMENTS ARE CONTRACTS I
TALKED ABOUT ARE TALKING ABOUT
THEIR SURPLUS LAND. ARE SAYING
I'M GOING TO DO AN RFP IN THIS.
TIME PERIOD TO TURN THIS THIS
PARCEL INTO AFFORDABLE HOUSING-
AND THAT'S IT. BECAUSE THEY MADE
THAT COMMITMENT THE HOW TO
COMMENT WE CAN ALSO HOLD ON TO
THAT COMMITMENT- AS A- PRETTY
ACCOUNTABILITY. AND SO ALL
THINGS ARE COME TOGETHER AND WAY
THAT. I THINK I'M I'M OPTIMISTIC
ABOUT. AND WE'RE WATER HAPPY TO.
AND CAN YOU THANK YOU. THANK YOU
MISTER I WANT TO THANK FOR A- OF
THE- INDIVIDUALS FOR THE
RESPONSE CARE CENTER HI SIR
PATEA. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR.
CHAIRMAN MY THANKS TO BOTH A
CHAIR. FOR CONVENE THIS- JUST TO
GET A BETTER DO UNDER. OR
CORNERS THE LOOK A CRITICAL
ILLNESS THE PROBLEM THE WHAT
PLAN PROVIDE AN S. OF STATE
ANNUALLY. OF OVER EIGHTEEN
BILLION DOLLARS ANNUALLY OVER
THE NEXT EIGHT YEARS TO
UNDERWRITE. A MAJORITY OF THE
DEMAND. OF A HUNDRED AND FORTY
THOUSAND PRODUCED UNITS EVERY
YEAR TO ADDRESS THE NEEDS OF
FOLKS THAT WE CHARACTERIZE AS
BEING. LOWER INCOME HOUSEHOLDS-
IT INDICATES THAT WOULD BE AN
ESTIMATE OF THE ANNUAL
EXPENDITURE IN ORDER TO
SUBSIDIZE THAT DEMAND FOR THIS
SEGMENT OF- HOUSEHOLD EARNERS.
HOW DID WE FOR PURPOSES OF THAT
NUMBER IS THAT BASED ON. WHAT
SUBSIDIZATION I'M IN OTHER WORDS
ARE WE CHARACTERIZING THIS BASED
ON CONSTRUCTION SUBSIDIES ON
DIRECT RENTAL SUBSIDIES. AND
WHAT WAS THE- ASSUMED QUALIFYING
INCOME THRESHOLDS AND WE USED TO
ARRIVE AT THAT EXPENDITURE
NUMBER FOR UNDERWRITING. I
THINK- NUMBER DON'T DON'T TRACK
EXACTLY FOR ME BUT THAT DOESN'T
MEAN THEY'RE THEY'RE WRONG AND
BUT- AND- THAT WE MIGHT NEED TO
FOLLOW UP ON THE STATEWIDE
HOUSING PLAN PIECE BUT THIS THEY
WENT HOUSING PLAN DOES. THAT FOR
FIRST FLIGHT I SHOWED WITH THE
HOUSING PLANNING- GOAL- THOSE
ARE BY EIGHT THOSE ARE. PLANNING
REQUIREMENT BUILDING TARGETS ON
FOR DIFFERENT INCOME THRESHOLDS
AND THOSE ARE BASED ON THE AREA
MEDIAN INCOMES FOR THE DIFFERENT
REGIONS- SO YOU KNOW THAT THERE
ARE THERE ARE. AT EXTREMELY AND
VERY LOW INCOME HOUSING GOALS
LOW INCOME HOUSING GOALS
MODERATE ABOUT MODERATE INCOME
HOUSING GOALS- FOR EACH OF THOSE
AND THEN THEY WOULD ADDRESS TO
THIS REGIONAL AND. MINE THE AREA
NEEDED. I AND MR IF I UNDER HOW
WE- THE SEGMENTS OF THE MARKET
AND THE DEMAND OF LOW INCOME
HOUSEHOLDS I UNDERSTAND THAT
WHAT I'M ASKING IS WE HAVE AN
ESTIMATED ANNUAL EXPENDITURE ON
THE PART OF THE STATE THAT WOULD
BE REQUIRED. TO BRING AT LEAST A
MAJORITY OF THAT DEMAND INTO
WHAT WE CALL AFFORDABILITY. SO
IS THAT BASED ON CONSTRUCTION
SUBSIDIES IS THAT BASED ON
DIRECT RENTAL SUBSIDIES AND IF
SO WHAT WERE THE ASSUMED
QUALIFYING INCOME THRESHOLDS.
THAT WOULD BE SERVED BY THOSE
SUBSIDIES. AND I AM READING FROM
THE TWENTY TWENTY TO STATEWIDE
HOUSING PLAN AS IT CITED IN THE
BACKGROUND PAPER. I WILL I WILL
LOOK INTO THAT AND FIGURE OUT
WHAT WHAT SOURCE THAT IS CITING-
SO WE CAN ANSWER THE QUESTION
DIRECTLY I DON'T WANT TO
MISSPEAK. YEAH I'M I'M NOT I
WOULD APPRECIATE THAT IF YOU
JUST FORGET THAT OVER AND THEN
LASTLY MISTER CHAIRMAN AND THEN
MAYBE MISS KIRBY. TWENTY
THOUSAND ANNUAL PRODUCTION ON
EIGHTY USE QUITE A ROBUST NUMBER
AND TO THE POINT MADE BY ONE OF
OUR COLLEAGUES- EIGHTY USER BEEN
PRODUCED BY A LOT OF GOOD WORK
SB NINE OTHER INCENTIVES TO
ALLOW LANDOWNERS TO EASILY
SUBDIVIDED AND TO PRODUCE. THE
ASSUMPTION BEING THAT BECAUSE
THEY ARE EIGHTY USE THEY ARE
ALWAYS GOING TO BE RELATIVELY
MORE AFFORDABLE HOWEVER OFTEN
TIMES THOSE THINGS ARE REALLY
DRIVEN BY MARKET FACTORS
GEOGRAPHIC. FACTORS SO WE HAVE
AN ESTIMATE OF THE PRODUCTION
ANNUALLY IN A NEW WAY TO USE DO
WE HAVE ANY OTHER DATA YET ABOUT
HOW THOSE ARE BREAKING OUT IN
TERMS OF. WHAT KIND OF RENTS ARE
BEING DEMANDED FOR THOSE EIGHTY
YEARS OR EVEN- COSTS. SO THAT WE
DO HAVE THAT IT- AND DASHBOARD
ON OUR WEBSITE- THAT SHOWS ALL
THE ANNUAL PROGRESS REPORT DATA
THAT COMES IN FROM THE LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS AND ALL OF THAT IS
TRACKED BY- IT DOES TELL YOU
THAT YOU USE AND IT DOES TELL
YOU THAT. THAT INCOMES- YOU KNOW
WHERE THEY'RE SENT READ RENTS
ARE SET- RELATIVE TO THE INCOMES
FOR THAT INDIVIDUAL SO IT GIVES
YOU A SENSE OF WHERE THOSE-
UNITS ARE WHERE THOSE IDEAS ARE
COMING ONLINE ARE THERE. SERVING
MODERATE INCOME HOUSEHOLDS ARE
THEY SERVING- LOWER INCOME
HOUSEHOLDS FOR THAT COMMUNITY.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH THANK YOU
MISTER CHAIRMAN. THANK YOU
COLLEAGUES ANY OTHER QUESTIONS.
OKAY I WANT TO THANK- IT. ON A
LIST- I DO WANT TO SPEAK FOR
TURN OVER THE- CARE WORKS. I
JUST WANT TO REITERATE A COUPLE
THINGS FIRST OF ALL. THE LAWS
THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT ALL.
HAVE BEEN OF START SOMEWHERE
BETWEEN- TWO MONTHS- AND MAYBE-
FIVE YEARS OR SIXTY FIVE YEARS
REALLY WE'RE TALKING ABOUT. TATA
TWO MONTHS TO FIVE YEARS AND I
KNOW ALL OF US WANT TO SEE A LOT
MORE HOUSING AT ALL INCOME
LEVELS BUILT LIKE. YESTERDAY I
CERTAINLY DO BUT WE KNOW THAT
THIS TAKES IT TAKES TIME WE
SPEND FIFTY YEARS DRIVING A CAR
INTO A DITCH. PASSING SOME LAWS
IS NOT GOING TO TURN THAT ARE
OVER. AND INSTRUCTIONS AS FAST
AS WE WANT IT CETERA SO TWO
YEARS TWO MONTHS TO FIVE YEARS-
THERE WAS ANALYSIS BY THE TURNER
CENTER ABOUT SB NINE. FOR
EXAMPLE IT'S ALWAYS GOOD TO DO
ANALYSIS HONESTLY I WAS GREETED
ANALYSIS HAPPEN SUPER PREMATURE-
TO READ A LOT INTO THAT ANALYSIS
FOR A LAW IT'S BEEN IN EFFECT
FOR TWELVE MONTHS- AND- WHEN WE
SEE THAT WITH OTHER LAWS IT
TAKES. TIME TO REALLY
ACCELERATE- AND BECAUSE OF SOME
OF THE WORK WITH THE ARENA- IT'S
A- IT'S HARD TO OVERSTATE WHAT
THE IMPACT IS GOING TO BE OF THE
NEW HOUSING ELEMENTS AND UP WITH
A MUCH HIGHER REMEMBERS. THAT'S
GOING TO BE I THINK
TRANSFORMATIONAL- SO WE ALL ARE
CHOMPING AT THE BIT TO GET THIS
DONE FASTER AND- I THINK IT'S
GOING. TO HAPPEN BUT IT'S GOING
TO BE A GRADUAL ACCELERATION SO
THANK. YOU TO REX. THANK YOU AND
I THINK THE PANEL ARE FOR PANEL-
CHAIR FOR THE REMINDER OF HOW
LONG THE STATE HAS BEEN. IN
TRYING TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM SO-
AND SOME LAW SEVENTY TO MEN IN
EFFECT AT ALL SO- MORE GOOD
THINGS TO COME. UP THE NEXT
PANEL IS GOING TO FOCUS ON OF
CITIES ARE ACCOMMODATING THE
HOUSING CRISIS. IN DEALING WITH
HOUSING- DESPITE SOME OF THE-
CHANGES THAT WE MADE RECENTLY
MADE RECENTLY LAND USE IS STILL
TYPICALLY A LOCAL ISSUE IN TERMS
OF ZONING OBJECTIVE STANDARDS.
AND THE PROCESS TO PROVE
HOUSING. IF WE'RE GONNA FIX
HOUSING CRISIS WHEN YOUR CITIES
AND COUNTIES TO BE PARTNERS IN
MAKING IT EASIER AND LESS
EXPENSIVE TO BUILD HOUSING. AT
ALL FOR ABILITY LEVELS. FROM
THREE CITIES THEY'RE PROACTIVELY
TRYING TO DO EXACTLY JUST THAT.
AS WELL AS FROM ACD WHO WILL
SHARE SOME STORIES ABOUT CITIES.
THAT PERHAPS NOT FULLY READY TO
DO THEIR PART- AND SO WITH THAT
WE WILL START WITH- AND WE'LL
SAVE QUESTIONS FOR MEMBERS AFTER
ALL PANELISTS- HAVE TESTIFIED.
WE'LL START WITH ANY TICKET
HERE'S A DEVELOPMENT SERVICE
STRUCTURE FOR CITY OF POMONA.
WORLD AFTERNOON SURE WICKS SURE
WINNER MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEES
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE
OPPORTUNITY THIS AFTERNOON TO
GENEROUSLY COMPONENTS
PERSPECTIVE. ON HOUSING
PRODUCTION. INSTRUMENTS.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE
OPPORTUNITY THIS AFTERNOON. THAT
BRIEFLY ABOUT MONA. IT IS NOT
FAMILIAR WITH CANNELLA WOULD
WHEN YOU SPEND A FEW MOMENTS
SITUATING COME OUT OF FOR YOU.
WE'RE LOCATED WITHIN WITHIN THE
SAN GABRIEL VALLEY AT THE
EASTERN EDGE OF LOS ANGELES
COUNTY. ABIDING ASSEMBLY DINO
COUNTY ON OUR CITY'S EASTERN
EDGE. WORK HARDER CITY AND WE'RE
LOCATED ABOUT FORTY FIVE MINUTES
. EAST OF DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES.
I'M FOR PROSPECTIVE HOMEOWNERS
RENEWED FOR THE TWENTY ONE
TWENTY NINE AT SIX CYCLE READING
AS TEN THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED AND
FIFTY SEVEN THE NEXT EIGHT
YEARS. FOR COMPARISON OUR CYCLE
. REALLOCATION WAS THREE
THOUSAND SIX HUNDRED TWENTY SIX
UNITS OF THOSE SEVEN HUNDRED
NINE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY NINE OR
ACTUALLY BUILT. WE HAVE A LOT OF
UNDER UTILIZED DENSITY BASED ON
A ARGENT BUT BASED UPON OUR
GENERAL PLAN WHICH I'LL GET INTO
IN JUST A MINUTE. SO WITH OUR
CURRENT HOUSING ELEMENT WERE
ABLE TO ACCOMMODATE ALL OF OUR
EXISTING ALL OF OUR NEW ARENA
AND THERE'S TEN THOUSAND UNITS
WITHIN EXISTING SITES WITHOUT
ANY DOWN CHANGES ARE GENERAL
PLANET AND AMENDMENTS. WHICH WAS
PRETTY SIGNIFICANT CURRENT A
CITY A POLITICIZED. ON SOME DATA
POINTS TO CONSIDER AND WHAT
PAINTS THE PICTURE AND
CONSTRAINTS OF OUR WHAT OUR
COMMUNITY FACES I WERE YOUNGER
COMMUNITY WITH MEDIAN AGE ABOUT
THIRTY TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY TWO
THOUSAND AND POPULATION. AND SO
WE HAVE A LOT OF YOUNGER
FAMILIES SHIFTING FROM MAYBE
TRANSITION POINT MOVING FROM
RENTING TO OWNING A MAY BECOME A
SMALLER AMOUNT TO A LARGER HOME.
AND WE HAVE A MEDIAN INCOME OF
ABOUT SIXTY THOUSAND WHICH IS.
THE HIGHLIGHT THAT YOU POINT OUT
THAT IT'S ABOUT 11% LOWER THAN
OUR COUNTY AVERAGED WE HAVE A
I'M- LET ME IN INCOME A PRETTY
HIGH. RATE AND AS I'VE HEARD
MENTION OF SOME OF THE FIRST
PANEL A PRETTY SIGNIFICANT COST
BURDEN PARTICULARLY FOR AVENGERS
ABOUT 60% WITH SIGNIFICANT
OVERCROWDING AS WELL. I'M SORRY
I MENTION THOSE THINGS. HAD TO
PAINT THE PICTURE OF WHAT I'M ON
IS TRYING TO SOLVE FOR. AND WE
KNOW WE NEED MORE HOUSING WE
KNOW WE NEED AFFORDABLE HOUSING
AND HOUSING OPTIONS. AND SO AS
ALL DESCRIBING JUST A FEW
MINUTES AND THIS IS WHY PAN IS
CHOOSING TO LEAN INTO YOU
HOUSING WE SHARE THE SAME GOALS
AND HOUSING PRODUCTION AND
TRYING TO FIND. OPTIONS FOR OUR
COMMUNITY. AT USING. ACCORD
AVAILABLE. AND AFFORDABILITY AS
A- OF HOUSING PRODUCTION
SUCCESSFUL THE CITY. OBVIOUSLY
DISCUSSED DISCUSS WHAT
LEGISLATIVE ACTIONS HAVE SPURRED
HOUSING PRODUCTION. I THE MOST
AND WHAT'S HELPED US PRODUCE THE
HOUSING AS WELL THE PORTABLE
UNITS. AND FINALLY SOME POSSIBLE
LEGISLATIVE OPPORTUNITIES TO
HELP. FURTHER SUPPORT FOR
HOUSING AMOUNT IS VISION. SO
FIRST AND FOREMOST BEGINNING
WITH OUR GENERAL PLAN IN TWENTY
FOURTEEN. I'M WE REALLY HAVE IS
REALLY BEEN LAYING THE
GROUNDWORK FOR HOUSING
PRODUCTION IN THE CITY FOR
SEVERAL YEARS NOW. AT IN TWENTY
FOURTEEN PROMOTED UP THE GENERAL
PLAN THAT SPREAD OUR DENSITY
NOTHING NOT THAT HERE BEFORE
YOU. IT'S BETTER DENSITY ACROSS
THE CITY ON THE BILLING HUNDRED
QUEST UNIT. AT A HUNDRED PLUS
GROWING UNITS PER ACRE. IN RTE'S
ENABLE THE PATHWAY FOR TWENTY
DWELLING UNITS PER ACRE IN
SINGLE UNIT. I MEAN IT SOUNDS
ENCOURAGED MIX UNITS OF MIXED
USE DEVELOPMENT ACROSS ARMY
BORDERS. AND ART AND ART
DOWNTOWN. I THE REALLY SET THE
STAGE FOR THAT TODAY. THE KURDS-
HOTEL THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO. THIS
AND BUSCA ALL NOW CODE. FOR THE
DELAY. AND REALLY MADE OUR- AND
IN OUR- I'M BUT WHAT THAT DID IT
PAID THE WAY. SB THREE IN SOME
THE LEGISLATURE ACTION THAT ARE
GOING TO HERE. I'M SO SB THIRTY.
I THE MAP ON THE LOWER TO PAY
ARE OVERLY ZONE THAT. OPTED
CODIFYING AND SPEAK THIRTY. AM
AND YOU'LL NOTICE COVERS NINETY
PER OF THE CITY. I'M THE
EXCEPTION OF THIS PLAN AREA THAT
OUR CAR OUT IS THERE A COUPLE.
IT IMMEDIATELY ENABLE GRANTS
THROUGH. FOR OUR PLAN IT OR OUT
THE DENSITY ALLOWED WITHIN CITY
BUT YET CODIFIED ZONE. NINETY OF
THEM NINETY OF OUR SO WAS CUT IN
THAT. I'M DILLON. THAT OVER CAN
USE PERMITS FOR HOUSING CREATED
A PATHWAY FOR OBJECTIVE DESIGN
REVIEW AND NARROW THE. FINDINGS
FOR. MEDINA HIGHLAND BROKER BALL
. AND THIS MATCH YOUR WHICH ON
THAT WHILE IT CUT SUMMIT OF THE
CITY AND ALSO MADE SB NINE
GENERALLY NOT APPLICABLES YOU
COME BECAUSE WE ALREADY A LEMONY
AND SINGLE YOU KNOW DOWNEY. AND
BY ENABLING THAT TWENTY DRAWING
PER ACRE AS AN- ON THE IMPACT OF
SB THREE THIRTY WHICH WE THINK
IS PRETTY SIGNIFICANT. I'M THIS
IS PAVE THE WAY FOR OURSELVES
AND- FOR POMONA'S HOUSING
MOMENTS WHERE WE HAVE OVER
TWENTY FOUR HUNDRED UNITS ARE IN
THE PIPELINE DOUBLE WHAT WAS
BUILT IN THE WHOLE EIGHT YEAR
CYCLE PREVIOUSLY- AND I COULD
CYCLE. AGAIN M. COMBINED WITH SB
THREE THIRTY APPLICATIONS AND WE
HAVE ABOUT A ELEVEN HUNDRED OF
THOSE UNITS AT THE TWENTY FOUR
HUNDRED UNITS ACCOUNTED FOR
THREE SB THREE THIRTY SPECIFIC
READING ABOUT. AND FOUR HUNDRED
AND. FORTY NINE OF THEM ALREADY
OCCURRED. THERE'S NO DOUBT OUR
MIND THAT SB THREE THIRTY HAS
ALLOWED MORE UNITS. TO MOVE
FORWARD FASTER I'M DONE WITHOUT
IT- NO TO CONSIDERATIONS THAT
TAKE INTO ACCOUNT WHEN
CONSIDERING SB THREE THIRTY IN
AFFECT MYSELF THAT. I FIRST
WOULD NOT SEEN THAT SB THREE
THIRTY WHILE IT HAS PRODUCED
UNITS. BUT HAVEN'T BEEN
AFFORDABLE UNITS UNDER THE L.
ONE HUNDRED UNITS HERE THAT I
MENTIONED THOSE ARE ALL MARKET
RATES THAT HAVE BEEN COMING IN
AND AS AFFORDABLE UNLESS UNDER
SPECIFICALLY UNDER THE CITY'S
INCLUSIONARY. AND MEASURES THAT
WE THE DOCTOR. I'M AT THE LOCAL
LEVEL. I'M AND FOR. ALSO I'VE
HEARD IF YOU ON ON THE PRE PANEL
IS THAT I'M THERE IS SOME RISK
HERE SO FOR EXAMPLE AT A SUMMER
SCHOOL DISPLACEMENT. SO FOR
EXAMPLE I'M WITH THE INCREASED
DENSITY THAT'S ALLOWED NOW AND-
THAT WE HAVE TO IMPLEMENT UNDER
SB THREE THIRTY. I'M A PROJECT
THAT MIGHT HAVE EXISTED FOR
TWENTY OR THIRTY YEARS WITH
FORTY FIVE UNITS ON IT NOW HAS
THE ABILITY TO BUILD LET'S SAY
THIRTY FIVE UNITS ON IT. WHICH
IS GREAT FOR HOUSING PRODUCTION
AND MAY EVEN RETAIN SOME OF
THOSE AFFORDABLE UNITS BUT FOR
THOSE TENANTS THAT HAVE BEEN
THERE IN TWENTY OR THIRTY YEARS.
AND A LONG TERM IT MAY HAVE PUT
THEM AT RISK OF. DETECTION AND
DISPLACEMENT AND FINDING NEW
HOMES AND WE HEAR CONSISTENTLY
FROM COMPONENTS WITHIN THE CITY
OF WANTING TO STAY AND COME ON
AT AND FIND OF. AFFORDABLE
HOUSING WITHIN THE COMMUNITY
THAT THEY- ARE GROWING UP AND.
HAVE LIVED ON FOR GENERATIONS.
I'M CERTAIN SECONDLY I LAST WEEK
THIRTY SOME THE STREAM BENEFITS
THAT HAS BROUGHT FOR ITS THAT
ALLOW TO DENY FINDING. AND AS-
YOU TO REDUCE THE TIME THE NILE
. ELIMINATED THE ZONE. AND FROM
SAN TO. THE DENSITY. I'M
REGARDING SO AS I MENTIONED
BEFORE SB THREE THIRTY SENATE OF
SOME CONCERNS WITH
AFFORDABILITY. WHAT'S COME MONEY
DEALING ON THE AFFORDABILITY
FRONT AND IN IT OF ITSELF SO. I
HAVE MULTIPLE A 100% AFFORDABLE
PROJECTS IN CONSTRUCTION ABOUT
TO BEGIN CONSTRUCTION ONE OF THE
BEST TOOL THAT WE HADN'T USED TO
AND HELPED HELPED US IS TO
PROVIDE FUNDING TO STAND UP
THOSE DEVELOPMENTS HAS BEEN
THAT. PERMIT LOCAL HOUSING
ALLOCATION FUNDING THAT WE
LEVERAGE WITH REASON REGIONAL
HOUSING I TRUST YOU BUILD MULTI
LAYERED FUNDING SOURCES FOR
THOSE AT. AFFORDABLE HOUSING
DEVELOPMENTS. AND HOWEVER THE
FUNDING ONLY ALLOWS US TO FIND
ONE A YEAR AND AS YOU CAN SEE
HERE JAMBOREE OR SEASON CHAVEZ
PROJECT ON NATIONAL CORE ONE
EACH YEAR AND WHICH HAS AND-
REALLY ADDED AN ADDITIONAL UNITS
TO OUR CITY BUT AS LIMITED AS AN
ORDER TÍNH. MEETING BEFORE WITH
MULTIPLE PER YEAR WHICH WE WILL
WOULD LIKE TO DO. AND THEN ALSO
ON THE AFFORDABILITY FRENCH AND
WE HAVE A LOCALLY ADOPTED
INCLUSIONARY HOUSING ORDINANCE
WHICH INCLUDES AND 7% 11% AND
13% AFFORDABILITY AT A MODERATE
RATE. AND AS BASED UPON THIS NEW
UNITS ONLINE IT ALSO ESTABLISHES
A LOCAL CITY HOUSING TRUST FOR
ANYONE PAYING INTO IN LIEU FEES
AS PART OF THE INCLUSIONARY.
ORDINANCE AND THEN. I'M AT YOU
WHICH I NEVER HAD THAT A LOT OF
TALK THIS AFTER AS WELL. SO I'M
ON ITSELF HAS SEEN SIGNIFICANT
INCREASE IN THE PRODUCTION AND
APPLICATION OF ACCESSORY
DWELLING UNITS WERE ON. BUSES IN
FIFTEEN TO TWENTY DWELLING UNITS
PER MONTH 70% OF WHICH ARE
GARAGE CONVERSIONS. AND WHAT IS
A RECENT STUDY THAT CAME OUT BY
UC BERKELEY THAT RANKS AND AS
CITIES WITH GRADES BASED UPON
THEIR AGE EIGHTY YOUR
PRODUCTIONS. AND AD OUT OF THE
NINE HUNDRED NINETEEN
JURISDICTIONS I'M TWENTY FIVE
HAS AIDS AND- I'M NOT IN A MINUS
TO DO WHAT WE'RE DOING REALLY
WELL WITH THE ACCESSORY DWELLING
UNIT PRODUCTION. I BASED UPON
THAT STATE LEGISLATION THAT'S
HELPED US. THINGS TO MOVE FASTER
AND CLEAR THOSE BARRIERS. ARE
ALSO USING KELLY KATE FUNDING TO
SUPPORT I'M AT. PRODUCTION
THROUGH INTEREST FREE LOANS. I'M
IN A DIFFERENT TO OUR HOUSING
ELEMENT AS I SAID WE REALLY INTO
PRO HOUSING PRO HOUSING. THE
NAME HOUSING OF HOUSING WE
REALLY SEE IT AS THE OPERA. TO
EVALUATE THOSE POLICIES AND
SENATE WHICH I JUST MENTIONED
AND THEN AND CONTINUE TO MODIFY
AN UPDATE TO HELP. BRING FOR THE
PRODUCTION AS I'VE HOUSING AND
AFFORDABLE HOUSING WITHIN THE
CITY. I'M AND THEN LASTLY SOME
OPPORTUNITIES THAT MAY BE
HELPFUL FOR THE LEGISLATIVE TO
SUPPORT OUR HOUSING AND MAY EVEN
PROVIDE INCENTIVES FOR CITY
LOOKING TO UNSEAT THAT PRO
HOUSING THAT THE NATION. I AM
FIRSTLY ON AFFORDABILITY. AND
LIVABILITY FRONT AS I MENTIONED
THAT J. FUNDING HAS BEEN
SIGNIFICANT AND BEING ABLE TO
STAND UP AS DEVELOPMENT AND ADD
THAT FUNDING SOURCES FROM THE
LOCAL LEVEL. THE MORE FLEXIBLE
NON POPULATION BASED FUNDING TO
FIND MORE AFFORDABLE HOUSING
PROJECTS MORE THAN ONE A YEAR
THAT WERE ABLE TO CURRENTLY DO.
THE POWER TO ASSEMBLE LAND WHICH
I ALSO HEARD I THINK I'M GOING
TO TRANSFER SACRAMENTO AND- I
DIDN'T TAKE ANY AND- AS
IMPORTANT ISSUE FOR THE CITY TO
BE ABLE TO DO THAT. THAT'S ONE
OF OUR GREATEST CONTRIBUTION TO
THE CITY IN THE PRODUCTION OF IN
THE PRODUCTION OF AFFORDABLE
HOUSING IS TO PROVIDE THE LAND
THE LONG TERM LOANS. HOWEVER WE
HAVE LIMITED LAND LEFT TO AND IN
AGGREGATE AS AS CITY THAT WE OWN
THINGS WERE INFILL CITY IS GONNA
BE CROCKETT HE'D HAVE TO BE
ASSEMBLED TO THE POWER TO
ASSEMBLE THAT LAND FOR THE
PROVISION OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING.
WOULD BE REALLY VALUABLE TOOL
FOR AND MEDIUM SIZED. CITIES
LIKE I CANNELLA. OUR PRODUCTION
I FLEXIBILITY TO WOULD THE DANCE
. AND MARK. CITY MANNER THE
OTHERS CODE NOT GENERAL. SO FOR
INSTANCE WE'RE IN THE MIDDLE.
I'M UPDATING COMPREHEND WITHOUT
BEING AS ANY HER INTO A- IS ONLY
FORM. AT EFFORT TO REALLY. ON IS
OBJECTIVE. TO REALLY DRILL DOWN
INTO WHAT TYPE OF FIREARM. AND.
WE'RE LOOKING FOR IN OUR
DEVELOPED ABOUT. SO I WOULD BIT
OF ****. AND SOME OF THESE
LEGISLATIVE ACTIONS US. EXIST
DEVELOPMENTS AS STANDARDS IN
PLACE AT THE TIME BUT PLANTINGS
OF BEING AN ATHLETE. AND TRIED
TO GET BETTER PLANNING AND
BETTER FROM BASE OBJECTIVE
DESIGN STANDARDS PLANNING. AND
SOME FLEXIBILITY. IN BEING ABLE
TO ADAPT TO USERS WOULD REALLY
BENEFICIAL FOR CITIES I'M LYING
AND TRYING TO MEET THE SAME
DENSITY. AND MEETING OUR GOALS.
I'M AND THEN ABILITY TO
INCENTIVIZE SECOND UNITS THE
SIMILAR TO E. USE AS I MENTIONED
COME ON IT IS. OUR PRODUCING AND
EIGHTY YEARS I WILL HAVE SIX
HUNDRED AND THIRTY FIVE EIGHTY
YOU APPLICATIONS BUT AND WE HAD
SIX HUNDRED THIRTY FIVE ET YOUR
APPLICATIONS BY THE END ARE AT
TWENTY TWENTY TWO. AND WE ALSO
SEE THE BENEFIT IN SECOND UNITS
RIGHT NOW AT A LOCAL LEVEL WE
SEE A BIT OF A CONFLICT. THAT
SECOND UNIT AND EIGHTIES. THAT
DIVIDE THAT PROVIDE INCENTIVES
OF EIGHTIES. BUT NOT SO MUCH
WITH WITH THAT WITH SECOND UNITS
AND SO AND WE ARE ABLE TO
PROVIDE MORE DESIGN CONTROL WITH
AND SECOND UNITS. WERE ALSO IN
THE MIDST FOR LOCAL GOVERNMENTS
ROCK TRYING TO CREATE MULTI
MODAL CITIES CONGESTION FRIENDLY
DEVELOPMENT. AND SO I AND SOME
OF IT EIGHTY LAWS AND THE
PLACEMENT OF BANDS LIKE IN IN
THE FRONT YARD. SETBACKS THINGS
LIKE THAT SOMETIMES COMPROMISE
AND THE DESIGN FIRMWARE THAT THE
CITY IS TRYING TO ACHIEVE. AND
SO THE FLEXIBILITY. IN BEING
ABLE TEAM. AT ONE FOUR THE OTHER
. AND WOULD SOME. VALUE TO AGAIN
DOESN'T. AND STILL AT THE SAME.
I AND EVEN PROVIDING SEVEN.
ABILITY EIGHTEEN. HI
HOMEOWNERSHIP WAS UNITS AS
OPPOSED TO ME YOUR- I'M IN THEN
LASTLY INFRASTRUCTURE AND PUBLIC
HEALTH. AND THE STATE EMBLEM
DOLLARS PERHAPS IMPROVEMENTS
LIKE ST MEANS REDUCTION. SO
THERE SOME PLANS DOLLARS WORD
THAT YOU KNOW. AND TO DO SOME
STREETS ARE AND G. OUR- AND
ANALYSIS. AND PUTTING US THE
COMPETITIVE YOU APPLY FOR EACH
DOT THE ROAD. BUT IN. DOLLARS TO
REAL CAPTURE THOSE COUPLE
HUNDRED DOLLARS IT WOULD BE
SICKENING. AND WHY THAT
DIFFERENT THAN. LET'S AND- AND
INFRASTRUCTURE IS THAT INFILL
INFRASTRUCTURE WHICH NUMBER
HOUSING DEVELOPMENT OKAY
UNDERSTAND IT AS AFFORDABLE.
PROJECTS HAVE USED. IS IT'S
CHRISTMAS CRIMES. I AND MAYBE A
LARGER BLOCK EVEN BIGGER CITY.
BUT ALONG WITH SB THREE THIRTY
WHAT. WHAT ARE WE REDUCE AN OX
TO DOT- DISCUSS PART SEXY PIECE
. LOCAL LEVEL WE'VE ALL LESSEN
OF THE OP. TO CAPTURE SOME
IMPROVEMENTS NEED FOR THE ABOUT
ALLEN'S ALLEGED STATE UNDERGRAD
IMPRESSED. STREET ARE SIDEWALKS
THERE'S A LAW PORTION OF OUR
CITY THAT DOES NOT HAVE CURTAINS
OR SIDEWALKS AND WITH OUR
INDUSTRIAL AREA THAT'S
INTERMIXED WITH RESIDENTIAL SO
THAT WAS CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT
IMPLEMENTATION OF. DOLLARS TO
REALLY. THE IN PERFECT CHANGE IN
THOSE WERE HOUSE IS HAPPY UP
HOUSING IS HAPPENING OR NOT MAY
BE DIRECTLY TIED TO YOU. OUR AN
AFFORDABLE HOUSING PROJECT LIKE
LIKE THE 100% AFFORDABLE HOUSING
PROJECTS THAT ARE APPLYING FOR
THEM. UNLIKELY AND THE
ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS IN SB
THREE THIRTY FOUR LUCIEN BURDEN
CITIES SO COMMON THAT IT'S
CURRENTLY ARRANGED BY CONVAIR
CARRYING AS HI VERY HIGH. AND AS
AT IN TERMS OF BEING EXPOSED TO
HARMFUL HARMFUL POLLUTANTS WE
HAVE FOR FREEWAYS CROSSING OUR
FREEWAYS. AND SO WHAT THAT
SPEAKING THIRTY AGAIN GOING BACK
TO THAT MAP THAT I IN THE
BEGINNING WORK COVERS NOW
PERCENT OUR STATE OUR CITY WORLD
. IN THOSE DE. AND ADDRESS
BECAUSE THIRTY BUT SOME OF THE
SITE ARE ALL. VERY CLOSE TO RAIL
LINE'S FREEWAYS ARE HEAVY ADAM.
I WOULD ROADS AND OF THE BILL
EVEN SOME CONSIDERATIONS TO ME
HEY I KNEW THE DENSITY THAT WE-
OUR THINKING ON. HOW AND-
CONCERN HEATING MOVE THEM AWAY
FROM THE AREAS BUT STILL AGAIN A
- ARCING. THIRD AT YOU SO MUCH
DESERVED BY FROM AT PERMITS.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH NEXT WE WILL
HEAR FROM. DAVID LLOYD ON
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT FIRST OF
OUR- AFTER. MR WICKS SURE WINNER
AND MEMBERS YOU SO MUCH FOR. THE
OPPORTUNITIES. TO SURE SCREEN.
SH MY NAME IS DAVID LANDER
DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY
DEVELOPMENT WITH THE CITY OF
ARCADE ATHLETES- AND HAPPY TO
BRING TWO DAYS SOME PERSPECTIVES
FROM THE CITY OF ARCADIA. SHE
PICTURED IN THE FOREGROUND THEIR
ARMS. THE RECORD IS LOCATED IN
THE FAR NORTH- WE HEAR
APPROXIMATELY TEN ACRES I'M
SORRY. TEN SQUARE MILES. LOCATED
HERE YOU SEE DEPICTED IN THE
RED- AND I GOT SOME QUICK FACTS
ON THE SIDE HERE JUST GIVE YOU
SOME CONTEXT REALLY WHAT I WANT
THE STORE WANT TO TELL YOU.
ABOUT CITY VIRGINIA IS LONGER
SMALL. REALLY A- AND WE THIRTY
RULE REALLY A CONTACT- URBAN
CITY. OUR TAKING A LOT OF THE
LEAD FROM THE STATE IN THE
HOUSING POLICY THAT SPAN- NOTED
OVER THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS
TRYING TO SHARE THAT WITH OUR
DECISION MAKERS TO TRY AND
TRANSITION AND CHANGE BECAUSE WE
DO HAVE SOME. SIGNIFICANT
CHALLENGES ALL SHARE WITH YOU
YEAH AND I RECOGNIZE THAT THIS
IS A LITTLE BIT OF PREACHING TO
THE CHOIR. WITHIN OUR CITY. BUT
SOME OF THE KEY PIECES A
HARDCORE OUT YOUR OWNER
OCCUPANCY RATES ARE ARE VERY LOW
RELATIVE TO THE REST OF THE
STATE. ARE YOU MEDIAN INCOME IS
ALSO LOW ALTHOUGH WE HAVE A HIGH
DEGREE OF. EDUCATION OUR
COMMUNITY WITH A HIGHER THAN
AVERAGE NUMBER OF BACHELOR'S OR
HIGHER DEGREES IN THE CITY- AND
I THINK THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN
THAT AREA MEDIAN INCOME BEING SO
LOW AND THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE.
WITH HIGHER DEGREES BEING HIGH-
RELATES A LOT TO ANOTHER KEEP
PEACE OUR ECONOMY AND AN HOUSING
CHALLENGES WHICH IS THE- CAL
POLY FORMALLY HUMBOLDT STATE
UNIVERSITY- ARE MEDIAN HOME
VALUES ARE RELATIVELY LOW- TO
THE REST OF STATE AND PARTICULAR
COMPARED TO. URBAN CENTERS. AS
OUR RENTS. IN ADDITION OUR SALES
HORROR LOW AND SO YOU CAN
IMAGINE ALL OF THESE FACTORS
COMBINED TOGETHER TO CREATE SORT
OF A- PRESSURE ON ON HOUSING. IN
OUR AREA- IN ADDITION WE HAVE
SORT OF THE TRIFECTAS HARD LOOK
AT IT YOU KNOW NOT ONLY DO WE
HAVE THE DRIVER OF CALIFORNIE
WHICH BRINGS IN A NEW CROP OF.
STUDENTS EVERY YEAR. BUT WE ALSO
HAVE A RELATIVELY- MODEST
CLIMATE- WERE A CLIMATE CHANGE
REFUGE. UM N. WITH THE PANDEMIC
SORT OF ON LEACHING PEOPLE FROM
THEIR DESKS WE HAVE A LOT OF
PEOPLE WHO. WHO'VE MOVED UP HERE
AND ARE. COMING IN FROM OUT OF
THE AREA BEING ABLE TO CASH OUT
OF. NO HIGHER. COST AREAS AND
PURCHASE AND WERE MOVED AND
LOCALLY AND STILL CONTINUE TO
EARN THOSE AT A VERY RENTS. AND
SO ALL OF THESE THINGS COMBINED
TOGETHER- IN ADDITION TO THE
AREA IN GENERAL JUST BEING A
DESTINATION. THAT HAS HIGH
QUALITY OF LIFE. TO REALLY-
MICROSCOPE ON CITY OF ARCADIA
AND ITS HOUSING. ONLY PRESSURES
- LOOKING UP YOU CAN SEE FROM
THAT EARLY IMAGE YOU KNOW WERE
WERE SET IN A- JERRY GREEN
SETTING LOOKING UP CLOSE FOR
JUST LIKE ANY OTHER CITY PRETTY
BRILL BUILT OUT. I THINK THIS IS
AN INTERESTING CONTRAST BECAUSE
MANY IN OUR COMMUNITY THINK OF
OURSELVES AS RULE. BUT WE- WE
FOR ALL INTENTS AND PURPOSES
FUNCTION LIKE A LITTLE CITY
THERE'S TONS OF OPPORTUNITY FOR
INFILL DEVELOPMENT IN OUR
COMMUNITY AND REDEVELOPMENT OUR
COMMUNITY. DOES IT MEAN BACK OUT
TO- THE MACRO LEVEL. SHE COULD
SEE ARCADE IN THE FOREGROUND
THERE JUST TO THE NORTH OF THE
BAY IS SURROUNDED BY- YOU KNOW
THOSE BOTTOM LANDS CITY. TO THE
WEST AND- OF COURSE LANDS TO THE
EAST- AND REALLY. ONE VALUES
THAT OUR CADENCE ALL SHARE IS
THE IDEA THAT WE WANT RESPECT
AND- DETECTORS STOSS- WORKING
LANDS RUN US. THESE IMAGES WERE
FROM LAST TELL HOUSING ELEMENT
UPDATE CYCLE AND SO SOME OF THE
NUMBERS ARE A LITTLE DATED. BUT
AT THE TIME THE HOUSING WAS PUT
IN THE STATE WAS PROJECTING
THAT'S HOUSING NEEDS THROUGH
TWENTY TWENTY FIVE WOULD BE ONE
POINT EIGHT MILLION UNITS. AND
EXPECTED PRODUCTION WAS A LITTLE
LESS THAN HALF OF THAT. IN CITY
OR K. LOOKING BACK TO THE FIRST
FIVE HOUSING ELEMENT CYCLES. I
WOULD ACTUALLY PRODUCE 70% OF
OUR REALLOCATION. I'M HAPPY TO
SAY THAT MUCH OF THAT PRODUCTION
WAS INDEED LOW AND VERY LOW
INCOME CATEGORIES WERE REALLY
SUCCESSFUL COMPETING FOR. FOR
HOUSING GRANTS PRIMARILY THROUGH
HOUSING COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT-
BOTH THAT MEANS WE LOST 30% ON
THE TABLE AND SO WE BASICALLY
HAVE. YOU KNOW TWENTY YEARS OF
UNDER PRODUCTION. IN OUR
COMMUNITY. IN OUR CURRENT
HOUSING ELEMENT CYCLE- WE HAD
BEEN ALLOCATED SIX HUNDRED TEN
UNITS I KNOW FOR SOME OF THESE
LARGER JURISDICTIONS- WE
THINKING SIX TENNIS- YOU KNOW
IT'S PRETTY LIFE LEFT. ABOUT
WHEN WE WENT THROUGH THAT OUR
INVENTORY YOU CAN SEE ON THE
LEFT PART OF THE SCREEN HERE. TO
READ PARCELS THAT ARE LIT UP THE
STAR PARCEL MAX MAST FROM R. GIS
THE RED PARCELS THAT ARE LIT UP
THE ONES WE WERE ABLE TO
INCLUDE. AND A GODDESS TO JUST
ABOUT A THIRD OF THE TOTAL NET
HOUSING NEED. ADDING TO THAT THE
NUMBER EIGHTY WITHOUT COULD
PRODUCE WE GOT TO HALF AND SO WE
HAD ABOUT HALF FOR RENO THAT
WE'RE TRYING TO- YOU KNOW TO
TELL ME. THROUGH THIS HOUSING
CYCLE WHICH TRIGGERED A
MANDATORY REZONE. HOW DOES NOT
THAT MANY PEOPLE ARE. YOU KNOW
OVERPAYING FOR THEIR HOUSING
COSTS NOW THIS IS AGAIN A LITTLE
DATED- BUT AT THE TIME WE WERE
DOING OUR HOUSING ELEMENT UPDATE
. IN EVERY INCOME CATEGORY HAD A
SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF PEOPLE
PAYING RENT THAT WAS MORE THAN
50% OF THEIR INCOME. CONSIDERING
THAT 67% OF OUR POPULATION IS
RENTING THAT'S A PRETTY HEAVY
LIFT. AND THEN ADDED TO THAT THE
FACT THAT WE ESTIMATE SOMEWHERE
BETWEEN FIVE AND 10% OF THE
POPULATION OF THE CITY OF
ARCADIA. IS ON HOW MOST. ANY OF
THESE PEOPLE ARE RIGHT ON THE
VERGE OF BEING ON HOUSE AS WELL
SO PRETTY SIGNIFICANT PROBLEM IN
TERMS OF THE- DAMAGE BETWEEN
THOSE HOUSING PRESSURES SO WE
SEE. OUR EXTERNAL AND INTERNAL.
AND THEN D. HOUSING
VULNERABILITY OF THESE FOLKS. I
WOULD ALSO ADD TO THIS THAT THE
HOUSING PROBLEM IS SO
SIGNIFICANT THAT WE'RE SEEING-
MANY OF OUR MAJOR EMPLOYERS-
WING INFLATABLE. OPEN DOOR
COMMUNITY HEALTH. MAD RIVER
COMMUNITY HEALTH. START TO THINK
ABOUT BECOMING HOUSING
DEVELOPERS FOR WORKFORCE HOUSING
FOR THEMSELVES BECAUSE OUR
COMMUNITY JUST CAN'T PRODUCE
ENOUGH HOUSING. I'M REFLECT BACK
ON THE- USE OF THE DATA THAT I
CAN LOOK AT AND SEE A DRAMATIC
IMPACT ON HEARING THIS IS A
RECURRING THEME. ARE THEY USE
BILLS THAT PASSED IN UPDATES
THEN- THAT HAPPEN AS A RESULT OF
THOSE REALLY DOUBLED IF NOT- YOU
KNOW MORE THAN DOUBLED. THE RATE
OF PRODUCTION OF EIGHTY USE THIS
IS THE ONLY CONCRETE CORRELATION
THAT I CAN PULL. FROM ALL OF
THE- CHANGES IN HOUSING ELEMENT
LAW THAT YOU KNOW HOUSING
ACCOUNTABILITY ACT AND SEE BONUS
AND ALL THESE LAWS CHANGED SO
DRAMATICALLY OVER THE LAST
SEVERAL YEARS. OTHER DISCOUNT
INTERESTING- THE ONE THAT WE SEE
IN TWENTY TWENTY ONE WE THINK IS
TRIPLED. NINETEEN I'M IN I WILL
SORT OF ROUND OUT WITH- SOME OF
THE THINGS THAT WE'VE SEEN
WORKING- YOU KNOW CERTAINLY THE
PLANNING GRANTS BUILDING
CAPACITY THE STATE PUTTING
MONEY. TO THE COMMITMENTS- THAT
THEY WANTED TO SEE HAS BEEN.
INSTRUMENTAL I CAN TELL YOU THAT
THE- THE RATE. OF ACCOMPLISHING
THE PLANNING IS NOT- YOU KNOW
FASTER. WITH OUR FIRST SB TO
GRANT WE THOUGHT WE'D BE DONE
WITH THE- REVISIONS FOR GENERAL
PLAN AND SOME OF THE FORM BASED
CODE WORK GOING TO REALLY-
WRAPUP HOUSING PRODUCTION.
WITHIN TWO TO THREE YEARS AND
WE'RE ABOUT FOUR YEARS INTO IT
NOW. SH BUT THOSE PLANNING GRANT
FUNDS ARE CRITICAL IMPORTANT.
AUTOGRAPHS ARE ALSO VERY
IMPORTANT OVER THE LAST COUPLE
OF YEARS WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO
PRODUCE OVER TWO HUNDRED UNITS.
OFFER OR FOR PEOPLE EARNING 80%
PLUS MEDIAN INCOME OR LESS. I
AND MANY OF THOSE EARNING LESS
THAN 50% MEDIAN INCOME. I'M BACK
WE HAD ABOUT A HUNDRED AND FIFTY
HOME TO UNITS PRODUCED OVER JUST
THE LAST TWO YEARS- I THINK THAT
YOU KNOW ONE OF THE THINGS THAT
WE NEED MORE OF. AND I ALLUSIONS
TO THIS AS WELL AS SOME KIND OF-
YOU KNOW READ ABOUT LIFE. THE
CITY WAS VERY EFFECTIVE WITH THE
THREE DEVELOPMENT DOLLARS
BRINGING AFFORDABLE HOUSING TO
THE COMMUNITY. AND HI ANYTHING
THE STATE CAN DO TO SUPPORT THAT
IS. APPRECIATED BY LOCALS-
EXERTION YOU KNOW THE STREAMLINE
STREAMLINE PERMITTING PROVISIONS
FOR WE HAVEN'T SEEN A WHOLE LOT
OF IT IN THE CITY OF ARCADIA YOU
KNOW WE ARE TRYING TO TRACK THAT
AND SHARE THAT INFORMATION WITH
OUR- DECISION MAKERS TO ENSURE
THAT THEIR- STATE UNDERSTAND
WHAT THE STATE EXPECTS. I THINK
THINGS LIKE THE PRO HOUSING
DESIGNATION ARE. REALLY GOOD.
IT'S NICE TO SEE INCENTIVES
COMING FROM THE STATE. TO
SUPPORT THOSE OBJECTIVES. AND AS
ALWAYS YOU KNOW YOU'LL HEAR FROM
ANY LOCAL INSURANCE IF WE WANT
TO SEE MORE FLEXIBILITY TO MEET
THE STATE OBJECTIVES. AND SO
LESS PRESCRIPTIVE. LAWS CAN BE
THE BETTER. I'M HER LOYALISTS
THROUGHOUT THE- YOU KNOW THE
HEARING SO FAR IS THAT THE- MANY
OF THE BILLS JUST REALLY HAVEN'T
HAD THE TRACTION YET THEY
HAVEN'T HAD THE TIME NECESSARY
OR THE- YOU KNOW THEY HAVEN'T
BEEN IMPLEMENTED YET. IT TAKES-
LOCAL JURISDICTIONS QUITE SOME
TIME TO CATCH UP AND THEN LOCAL
ORDINANCES. IN THE CITY MARKET
WE SEEN ONE SB NINE- SUBDIVISION
AND- YOU KNOW WHEN WE HAD A FEW
OTHER PEOPLE INQUIRE BUT THAT
THAT REALLY HASN'T HAD THE
IMPACT THAT. WE THOUGHT IT MIGHT
. AB TWENTY ELEVEN IS- YOU KNOW
KIND OF IN A IN A LOT OF WAYS A
GROUNDBREAKING. ONE PIECE OF
LEGISLATION THAT YOU KNOW WHAT I
DESCRIBED TO MY- MY DECISION
MAKERS AS SORT OF THE- ANTI
PLANNING. LAW IF YOU WELL IT'S-
YOU KNOW COMPLETE- REACTIONS THE
FACT THAT THE LOCAL
JURISDICTIONS AREN'T DOING
ENOUGH TO CREATE A HOUSING AND
MEET THOSE HOUSING TARGETS AND
SO. YOU KNOW WE'RE SEEING MORE
OF THIS- YOU KNOW SORT OF THIS.
STATE LEVEL PRESSURE FROM. YOUR
FOR HOUSING DEVELOPMENT I THINK
THAT THAT YOU KNOW WE HAVE WELL
WE HAVEN'T SEEN IN OUR COMMUNITY
I THINK IT'S HAVING AN IMPACT ON
OUR PLANNING PROCESS- AND I
THINK THAT IT REALLY SHOWS THE
YOU KNOW THE DESPERATION. YOU
KNOW THAT WERE FACING. SENATE
HOUSING ACCOUNTABILITY ACT
PROVISIONS SEE AND DON'T SEE
BONUS PROVISIONS. YOU KNOW THE
LOCAL DEVELOPERS JUST REALLY
AREN'T USING THESE PROPER TRYING
TO ENCOURAGE FOLKS LOOKING. AT
THESE AS YOU MEANS FORGETTING
HOUSING COMPLETED. AND WE'RE
USING THEIR SIN TRYING TO
LEVERAGE ALL OF THESE IDEAS AND
CONCEPTS OF THE STATE'S FROM
PUTTING FORWARD INTO SOME LOCAL
PLANNING WERE ADOPTING OR GOING
THROUGH THE PROCESS OF ADOPTING.
A- A PLAN. AND THE IDEA BEHIND
THE AREA PLAN IS TO TRY AND COME
UP WITH OBJECTIVE STANDARDS FORM
BASED CODE AND THEN MAKE
DEVELOPMENT THAT MEETS UP FORM
BASED CODE OF MINISTERIAL. IF
THOSE KEY PIECES REMAIN INTACT I
FEEL LIKE WE'LL LEARN A LOT FROM
YOU KNOW THE BILL'S SIX FLAGS
STAYS PUT FORWARD IN. AN
EMPLOYMENT IT LOCALLY. AND THEN
LASTLY- YOU KNOW AREAS THAT- YOU
KNOW MANY OF THE FOLKS IN OUR
REGION AND TALKED ABOUT. AS
NEEDED REFORM IN ORDER TO HELP
WITH HOUSING PRODUCTION. YOU
KNOW FIRST AND FOREMOST IS-
STRENGTHENING THE- INTERJECTIONS
AND SYKORA- YOU KNOW WE STRONGLY
BELIEVE THAT. YOU KNOW PROJECTS
TO HAPPEN WITHIN CITY
BOUNDARIES. LARGELY CAN'T HAVE
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS AND SO YOU
KNOW WHERE WE PLAN FOR THEM. WE
SHOULD BE ABLE TO IMPLEMENT
THOSE WITHOUT. IN A FURTHER
BYNUM ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW- THE
COASTAL ACT THIS IS A TRUE FOR
ALL CITIES OBVIOUSLY BUT FOR. TO
THE CITY WORKING OF THE COASTAL
ACT IS- YOU KNOW SIGNIFICANT-
PIECE OF LEGISLATION THAT WE- I
HAVE TO NAVIGATE WHEN DOING
PROJECTS IN THE COASTAL ZONE
OBVIOUSLY SEALEVEL RISE- YOU
KNOW CRITICAL PIECE THAT. WAS
NEVER CONCEIVED WITHIN THE ACT-
AND THERE BEEN. YOU KNOW
REGULATORY AND PROCESS FIXES
THAT- CONSTRUCTION IS TRYING TO
IMPLEMENT BUT I THINK THAT- SHE
KNOWS STATE LEVEL ACTION TO
AMEND THE COASTAL ACT. TO TAKE
INTO CONSIDERATION SEALEVEL RISE
AND TO TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION
THAT SEA LEVEL RISE HAS.
DIFFERENTIAL IMPACTS ACROSS THE
STATE. I WOULD BE IMPORTANT- YOU
KNOW LASTLY. THE HOUSING
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT GRANTS
PROGRAM- YOU KNOW WE'VE HAD A
WONDERFUL RELATIONSHIP WITH THE
STATE- AND PRODUCED HUNDREDS OF
UNITS WHAT UNITS OVER. THE LAST
COUPLE OF DECADES WELL OVER SIX
HUNDRED UNITS ARE USING H. CITY
GRANTS AND SO THIS IS A
PRODUCTIVE RELATIONSHIP- I
UNDERSTAND THE REASONS FOR THE
REGULATORY CHANGES. IN THE
PROGRAMMATIC CHANGES BUT I THINK
THAT YOU KNOW I'M ALWAYS
ENCOURAGING MAXIMUM FLEXIBILITY
WHEN IT COMES TO THE USE OF
THOSE OF THOSE FUNDS IN
PARTICULAR WITH. HOME AND
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK
GRANT FUNDS. WHERE WE CAN YOU
KNOW MAKE DOES MAKE THOSE USES
FLEXIBLE. AND THEN LASTLY I
GUESS I JUST WANT TO YOU KNOW
PUT THE IDEA OUT THERE THAT IT'S
YOU KNOW IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT
TO MAKE PROGRESS ON ALL. YOU
KNOW ON ALL LEVELS- WE NEED TO
ADDRESS CLIMATE CHANGE AND SO
WE'RE HAVING YOU KNOW. BETTER
BUILDING CODES BETTER ENERGY
CODE THAT- YOU KNOW AND THIS
APPLIES TO OTHER. STATE LEVEL
REGULATIONS THAT AFFECT LOCAL
JURISDICTIONS BUT THIS IS A GOOD
EXAMPLE OF WHERE. THOSE CHANGES
IN ENERGY CODE ACTUALLY MAKE
DEVELOPMENT MORE. EXPENSIVE TO
BUILD AND SO WE NEED TO BALANCE
THE COST OF COMPLIANCE. WITH THE
AFFECT ON HOUSING AFFORDABILITY
. I THINK THIS ORDER SOME OF THE
KEY THINGS THAT I'VE BEEN
THINKING ABOUT AND TALKING WITH
MY COLLEAGUES IN THE REGION OVER
THE LAST. COUPLE WEEKS AND I
APPRECIATE. THE OPPORTUNITY
SHARE THEM WITH YOU. THANK YOU
VERY MUCH FOR THE PRESENTATION
NEXT WE WILL HEAR FROM LISA
GLUCKSTEIN MAYOR BREEDS HOUSING
ADVISOR IN THE CITY OF KENNETH
SAN FRANCISCO. EVERYONE. YOU'LL
SEE MY SCREEN. YEP RIGHT. WELL
FIRST OF ALL THANK YOU TED SURE
WINNER ENSURE WAKES. ARE YOUR
STRONG LEADERSHIP ON HOUSING-
AND ALSO FOR CONVENING THIS
IMPORTANT HEARING TODAY. AND
THANK YOU FOR THE REST OF
COMMITTEE MEMBERS ALSO FOR
ALLOWING ME TO PRESENT TO YOU
ABOUT SAN FRANCISCO'S HOUSING
GOALS AND CHALLENGES. I'M LISA
GLADSTEIN HOUSING POLICY HOUSING
AND LAND USE POLICY ADVISER TO
MARYLAND INCREASE. SO I WON'T
PRETEND THAT I CAN SUMMARIZE ALL
BANKS AND IT'S GOT HOUSING IN
FIVE MINUTES OR SO. BUT I'LL
START WITH SOME BASIC BACKGROUND
SO SERVICES BECAUSE HOUSING
CRISIS. IS ROOTED IN A LONG
HISTORY OF EXCLUSION POPULATION
AND JOBS GROWTH AND CHRONIC
UNDER PRODUCTION OF HOUSING. WE
HAVE A NOTORIOUSLY COMPLEX
PERMITTING PROCESS FOR APPROVING
HOUSING. AND SOME OF THESE
PROCESS THESE ARE BAKED AND
TRIED HARDER WHICH MEANS THAT
THEY HAVE TO GO TO THE VOTERS TO
BE CHANGED- AND WE ALSO HAVE A
VERY STRONG ADVOCACY COMMUNITY.
THAT DOESN'T ALWAYS SUPPORT YOU
HOUSING. SO CONSIDERING OUR
DESIRE DIRE NEED FOR MORE
HOUSING IN THE CONTEXT OF A
PRETTY TOUGH ECONOMIC OUTLOOK.
THE MAYOR. IS TAKING DECISIVE
ACTION TO SUPPORT NEW HOUSING
PRODUCTION. VERY MUCH IN LINE
WITH THE STATE'S BROADER
MANDATES. AND HAPPILY AT
DECERTIFIED CHANCES BECAUSE
HOUSING ELEMENT ON EVERY FIRST
OF THIS YEAR. S. REFLECTS A
STRONG PARTNERSHIP WITH THE CD
AND THE HARD WORK OF MANY STATE
ENTITY OF EMPLOYEES. JUST A
FRACTION OF WHOM ARE MAKE SURE
HERE. FINALLY WE AGREE WITH THE
STATE THAT WE MUST ACHIEVE OUR
HOUSING ELEMENT SCHOOLS BECAUSE
IT'S SIMPLY THE RIGHT THING TO
DO. TO PROVIDE HOMES TO THE AND
HOUSED CAN MEET OUR
ENVIRONMENTAL GOALS AND TO
PROVIDE NEW OPPORTUNITIES. TO
OUR RESIDENTS AND WORKERS. AS WE
ALL KNOW. HOUSING ELEMENT IS
JUST A PLAN. AND WE HAVE A LOT
OF WORK TO DO TO MAKE IT REAL.
THAT WORK INCLUDES CREATING NEW
PATH CAPACITY FOR HOUSING
REZONING. REDUCING CONSTRAINTS
THEY GET IN THE WAY OF
DEVELOPMENT. SUCH AS CONDITIONAL
USE AUTHORIZATION. AND PROVIDING
AFFORDABLE HOUSING OPPORTUNITIES
ACROSS OUR CITY WELL MEETING
BEEN HOUSING NEEDS OF DIVERSE
COMMUNITIES. AND WE HAVE TO MOVE
QUICKLY BECAUSE SAN FRANCISCO'S
READ OBLIGATION IS QUITE
SIZEABLE. EIGHTY TWO THOUSAND
UNITS THAT'S HER CONTEXT 20%
MORE THAN SAN FRANCISCO HAS
TODAY. HISTORICALLY WE'VE ADDED
AN AVERAGE OF ABOUT. THIRTY FIVE
HUNDRED NEW UNITS PER YEAR. AND
YOU CAN SEE ON THE RIGHT HERE
THAT WE'VE GOTTEN CLOSE TO FIVE
THOUSAND UNITS PER YEAR IN
RECENT YEARS UP TO TWENTY TWENTY
ONE. UNFORTUNATELY DUE TO
ECONOMIC FACTORS THAT NUMBER IS
TRENDING DOWNWARD SINCE LAST
YEAR TWENTY TWENTY TWO. TO PUT
THIS IN CONTEXT OUR RENO
REQUIRES AN AVERAGE OF TEN
THOUSAND UNITS PER YEAR. OR
ROUGHLY THREE TIMES HISTORICAL
PRODUCTION. AND SO. AS YOU CAN
SEE IN THE DARK ORANGE ON THE
RIGHT HERE PAST PRODUCTION HAS
BEEN CONCENTRATED IN THE EASTERN
PART PORTIONS OF THE CITY NEAR
DOWNTOWN. SO AS PART OF OUR HELP
HOUSING ELEMENT TO ACCOMMODATE.
LARGE RENO OBLIGATION WE'RE
COMMITTING TO DISTRIBUTING NEW
HOUSING OPPORTUNITIES ACROSS OUR
CITY PARTICULARLY AND WHILE
RESOURCE NEIGHBORHOODS THAT
HAVEN'T SEEN MUCH DEVELOPMENT.
OVER THE PAST DECADES SO ON THE
LAST THE DARK BLUE ON THE MAP
SHOWS THAT CURRENT OWN CAPACITY
IS HEAVILY CONCENTRATED ON THE
EASTERN SIDE OF THE CITY. AND
LINE WITH PAST PRODUCTION. AND
ON THE RIGHT HIGHLIGHTED IN
ORANGE YOU'LL SEE THAT WE'RE
PLANNING TO REZONE MAJOR TRANSIT
CORRIDORS ON THE WEST SIDE OF
THE CITY. TO ACCOMMODATE
OVERSTORY SIX THOUSAND NEW UNITS
OF HOUSING CAN BE ARMENIA
SHORTFALL. WE ALL KNOW THAT
ADDING SODA CAPACITY IS
MEANINGLESS IF WE CAN ACTUALLY
GET THOSE UNITS BUILT. SO WE'RE
ALSO TAKING A HARD LOOK AT OUR
OWN PROCESS HE'S TO MAKE NEW
HOUSING CONSTRUCTION WORK
PEACEABLE. THAT INCLUDES AMAZING
MAKING HOUSING APPROVALS SIMPLER
AND FASTER. LIMITING DISCRETION
. AND TOUCH POINTS IN THE
PROCESS FOR DECISION MAKERS TO
INTERFERE. AND REDUCING FEES AND
EXACTIONS BUT I'M COSTA. ALREADY
COSTLY DEVELOPMENT. SO WHILE
REDUCING THESE CONSTRAINTS AND
COSTS FOR ALSO ACTIVELY WORKING.
TO ADDRESS THE QUESTION OF HOW
WE CREATE OVER FORTY SIX
THOUSAND NEW UNITS OF AFFORDABLE
HOUSING IN LINE WITH OUR
VEHICLES. CURRENTLY THE CITY
FUNDS ABOUT 40% OF EACH
AFFORDABLE HOUSING PROJECT
LOCALLY AND RELIES ON STATE
SOURCES IN THE PART OF TAX
CREDITS AND TALKED AT. UNDER A
MAJOR. THAT TRANSLATES TO I NEED
OF ROUGHLY NINETEEN BILLION
DOLLARS AND LOCAL FUNDING PLUS
THIRTY BILLION DOLLARS FROM THE
STATE. TO MAKE IT POSSIBLE FOR
US TO MEET OUR GOALS GIVEN
CURRENT LEVELS. SO A LOT OF
CHALLENGES BUT- IT SHOULD EACH
OF THESE PROCESS HE STARTED THE
MAYOR EARLIER THIS MONTH ISSUED
AN EXECUTIVE DIRECTIVE. WHICH
PRIORITIZES HOUSING ELEMENT
IMPLEMENTATION ACROSS THE CITY.
THIS IS ACHIEVED A FEW THINGS
WANTED ESTABLISHED OVERSIGHT
STRUCTURES AND GROUPS WITHIN THE
CITY THERE ARE CLEARLY
RESPONSIBLE FOR HOUSING ELEMENT
IMPLANTATION CREATING INTERNAL
ACCOUNTABILITY- SECOND. WE SEND
A CLEAR MESSAGE TO ALL
DEPARTMENTS THAT EACH OF THEM
IS. INDIVIDUALLY ACCOUNTABLE TO
THE HOUSING ELEMENT SCHOOLS SO
THAT INCLUDES DEPARTMENTS LIKE
THE DEPARTMENT BUILDING
INSPECTION THE PUBLIC UTILITIES
COMMISSION- THE PORT ALL THESE
DEPARTMENTS THAT TOUCH HOUSING.
AND WE'RE ASKING THEM TO TAKE A
HARD LOOK AT THEIR PROCESS SEES
AND SHORTEN THEIR APPROVAL
TIMELINES AND THEIR PROCESS USED
TO MAKE IT FASTER. FOR HOUSING
PROJECTS TO MOVE FORWARD. I THEN
LASTLY. WE SET CLEAR AND FASTER
TIMELINE FOR CERTAIN. ACTIONS IN
LINE WITH. THE GOALS SET FORTH
IN HOUSING ELEMENT SO FOR
EXAMPLE WHERE PUT IT WE'RE
TRYING TO PUT CORD ORDINANCES
THAT WOULD. REMOVE CERTAIN
APPROVAL REQUIREMENTS SUCH AS
CONDITIONAL USE AUTHORIZATIONS
WERE LOOKING TO RE EVALUATE OUR
INCLUSIONARY REQUIREMENTS WHICH
COMPARED TO MOST OTHER
JURISDICTIONS ACROSS THE STATE
ARE QUITE HIGH- AND WE'RE
LOOKING AT NEW PROJECT FINANCING
TOOLS SUCH AS INFRASTRUCTURE
FINANCE DISTRICTS. BEYOND THE
LOCAL CHANGES WE ALSO LOOK TO
STATE LAW TO MAKE A LOT OF THIS
POSSIBLE AND RECENT STATE
EFFORTS TO STREAMLINE HOUSING
HAVE BENEFITTED SAN FRANCISCO
IMMENSELY. ESPECIALLY DENSITY
BONUS AND SB THIRTY FIVE. SO
THREE SB THIRTY FIVE WE'VE
APPROVED OVER THREE THOUSAND NEW
UNITS OF HOUSING SINCE TWENTY
EIGHTEEN AND IF YOUR MEMBER.
LOOK LOOKING BACK TO THE
HISTORICAL PRODUCTION CHART
THAT'S CLOSE TO AN ADDITIONAL
YEARS WORTH OF HOUSING
PRODUCTION. SENSE SB THIRTY FIVE
WENT INTO EFFECT. AND MOST OF
THOSE UNITS ARE PORTABLE. IN
ADDITION PERMITTING IS ROUGHLY
FOUR TIMES AS FAST. THE BOTTOM
LINE IS THAT STATE INTERVENTION
AND ARE VERY COMPLICATED
PERMITTING PROCESS HE'S MADE A
HUGE DIFFERENCE. AND WE SUPPORT
SENATOR WIENER'S ONGOING WORKS
EXTENT SB THIRTY FIVE-
DISCUSSION. STATION LANDING HAS
ALLOWED US TO DELIVER MORE A
100% AFFORDABLE PROJECTS IN SAN
FRANCISCO. AND AS I MENTIONED
EARLIER WE ALSO RELY HEAVILY ON
STATE FUNDING SOURCES TO MAKE
THIS POSSIBLE. BUT THERE ARE
SOME CHALLENGES SO COMPETITIVE
SAID LACK PROCESS HAS LIMITED
ACCESS TO FUNDING FOR PROJECTS.
WHICH THANKFULLY WE'RE ABLE TO
RELY HEAVILY ON THAT CALIFORNIA
HOUSING ACCELERATOR FUND TO FILL
THE GAP- BUT- THERE IS A LOT OF
OUTSTANDING NEED- AS I MENTIONED
BEFORE. AND WE'RE LOOKING TO THE
STATE TO INCREASE AVAILABLE
FUNDING- BECAUSE THAT WILL MAKE
A HUGE DIFFERENCE AS WE WORK TO
MEET OUR- GOALS. SO JUST TO
SUMMARIZE EVERYTHING SO WE RE WE
RELY HEAVILY ON THE STATE'S
LEADERSHIP AND PARTNERSHIP. AS
WE WORK TOWARDS A HOUSING
ELEMENT GOALS AND WE'VE BEEN
VERY. HAPPY TO HAVE A STRONG
COLLABORATION WITH HDD WE LOOK
TO THEM FOR TECHNICAL GUIDANCE
AND SUPPORT- AS AS WE'VE GONE
THROUGH OUR HOUSING ELEMENT
DRAFTING AND APPROVAL PROCESS
AND AS WE'RE LOOKING TO
IMPLEMENT. AND WE WANT TO
CONTINUE THAT. WE'RE WORKING
ACTIVELY TO REFORM OUR OWN VERY
COMPLEX AND VERY SPECIFIC
APPROVAL PROCESS SEES AND WE'RE
ALSO LOOKING TO THE STATE'S
LEGISLATION TO HELP WITH THAT AS
WELL. SO FOR EXAMPLE AT SB FORTY
THREE WHICH WOULD EXTEND SB
THIRTY FIVE THE SESSION AND AB-
ELEVEN FOURTEEN WHICH WOULD HELP
US WITH WITH THE FACT THAT A LOT
OF OUR BUILDING PERMITS. ARE
DISCRETIONARY- WHICH CREATES
PROBLEMS FOR HOUSING APPROVALS.
WE'RE ALSO WORKING TO REDUCE THE
COST OF BUILDING BOTH MIXED
INCOME AND AFFORDABLE HOUSING
SAN FRANCISCO. AND IT'S ADDRESS-
AND AT THE SAME TIME WE NEED TO
FIGURE OUT HOW WE CAN EXPAND TO
BE CREATIVE ABOUT LOCAL AND NEW
LOCAL AND STATE FUNDING SOURCES-
INCLUDING THROUGH. A SENATE
REPLACEMENT HOUSING BILLS AND
YOU BOUGHT MEASURES THAT WE KNOW
ARE IN THE WORKS- AND LASTLY WE
HAVE. STRONG PRO HOUSING LOCAL
LEADERSHIP AND THEIR BREED. AND
WE RELY HEAVILY ON THE STATE'S
OVERSIGHT AUTHORITY TO MAKE SURE
OTHER DECISION MAKERS. DO RIGHT
BY OUR HOUSING GOALS. SO
GRATEFUL TO THE STATE FOR THEIR
OVERSIGHT AS WELL. SO WE- CAN DO
TO CONTINUE OUR PARTNERSHIP WITH
THE STATE TAKES ON THESE AT
SEVERANCE AND I WELCOME ANY
QUESTIONS FROM THE CHAIRS AND
COMMITTEE MEMBERS WHEN
APPROPRIATE THANK YOU. THANK YOU
VERY MUCH NEXT WE'LL HEAR AGAIN
FROM MEGAN KIRBY FROM H. CD.
HELLO CAN YOU SEE ME AGAIN BUT
WE CAN. APOLOGIES I ATE A SNACK
AT THE WRONG MOMENT AND I'M-
SORRY THAT'S OKAY. YEAH BUT I
DON'T THINK I AM THE
JURISDICTIONS THAT SPOKE. WE'RE
ALWAYS I SAID THIS BEFORE BUT I
CAN'T EMPHASIZE THAT ENOUGH. WE
WANT JURISDICTIONS TO COME INTO
COMPLIANCE. OUR TEAM IS DEEPLY
PASSIONATE ABOUT PROVIDING
TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE ON THESE
HOUSING ELEMENTS. IT IS HARD
WORK. IT IS THOUSANDS AND
THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF
HOURS. OF WORK. AND I'M GLAD
THAT I DON'T HAVE TO DO IT MOST
OF THE TIME- BUT- THROUGH THAT
WORK TO YOU. I GET I GET THE
PLEASURE OF SEEING THEIR
OUTCOMES- NOT JUST WHAT YOU
HEARD FROM THREE JURISDICTIONS
TODAY. BUT MANY MANY
JURISDICTIONS THAT I GET TO SEE-
WHAT IT MEANS FOR THEM TO COME
INTO COMPLIANCE- WE HAVE A
WEALTHIER BEACH COMMUNITY THAT-
NOT EVEN TO MEET THEIR REGIONAL
HOUSING NEEDS ASSESSMENT. BUT TO
ME THEY'RE VERY HOBBLING THEIR
HOUSING OBLIGATIONS OF THEIR
HOUSING ELEMENT. TOTALLY CHANGE
THEIR R. ONE ZONING TO ALLOW UP
TO SIX UNITS BY RIGHT SO GOING
ABOVE AND BEYOND SB NINE- WE'RE
WE'RE ALSO SEEING A LOT OF THESE
MISSING MIDDLE STRATEGIES BE
THOSE EIGHTY USER SB NINE
STRATEGIES- AND THEN WE HAVE
OTHER JURISDICTIONS. WITH VOTER
INITIATIVES THAT THAT PUT THEM
DIRECTLY IN CONFLICT WITH STATE
LAW- AND- SEVERAL THOSE
JURISDICTIONS ARE STEPPING UP TO
SAY WE CANNOT- WE CANNOT RESPECT
OUR VOTER INITIATIVE INDIAN BE
IN COMPLIANCE WITH STATE LAW-
WE'RE GONNA PAUSE A LOT- THEY'VE
THEY'VE HAD TO MAKE THOSE SORT
OF HARD CALLS- THAT ARE NOT
ALWAYS MET- WITH REYES- AND THEY
REQUIRE BRAVERY- AND SO WE GET
TO SEE THAT. WE ALSO SEE A LOT
OF THIS RESISTANCE TO CHANGE IN
THE BEGINNING BUT IT THROUGH
THIS PARTNERSHIP THROUGH THIS
JOINT WORK TOGETHER- YOU KNOW WE
SAW A JURISDICTION- STARTING OUT
CLAIMING. WAIT WAY MORE
ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS THAT
WOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE FOR THEM TO
REALLY ACHIEVE I'M MORE IN THE
REALM OF REALISTIC BRIGHT AND
NOT ALL THOSE INTERESTED SORT OF
PUTTING OFF THE INEVITABLE.
AVOIDING THE REZONING OF
AVOIDING A HARD CONVERSATION-
AND SO- THIS HOUSING ELEMENT
WORK IS ALSO A WAY IN WHICH WE
CAN BE SURE TO BE THE BAD GUY
THAT I TALKED ABOUT EARLIER. OF
SAYING NO YOU YOU GOTTA DO THAT
YOU GOTTA COMPLY WITH STATE LAW-
YOU'VE GOT A CHAU REALISTIC
DEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL HERE- AND
- THROUGH THESE INTEGRATIONS YOU
KNOW IT IS NOT CHEST. ARM DO A
DRAFT. I DO IN ADOPTED GETTING
COMPLIANCE LIKE THIS IS A BACK
AND FORTH CONVERSATION TO GET TO
A BETTER OUTCOME- WE- WE
REVIEWED OVER FIVE HUNDRED
HOUSING ELEMENTS- IN THE LAST
FISCAL YEAR- YOU KNOW MOST OF
THOSE ARE THIS BACK AND FORTH-
I'M AND ARE ARE. ARE MOVING THE
BALL FORWARD TOWARD A BETTER
HOUSING ELEMENT- SO. THAT'S
SOMETHING THAT I APPRECIATE THAT
I GET TO SEE- THAT THAT SORT OF
MULTIPLE ROUNDS OF REVISIONS AND
ENDING UP WITH SOMETHING WE ALL
CAN BE REALLY PROUD OF- THAT
SAID WE STILL HAVE A QUITE A FEW
IN. JURISDICTIONS THAT BUT
HAVEN'T GOTTEN THAT RIGHT THAT
AND THAT HAVING GOT ACROSS THE
LINE- THERE'S NO PERFECT WAY TO
SHOW THIS ON OUR DASHBOARD- BUT
OBVIOUSLY SOMEBODY IS OUT OF
COMPLIANCE MIGHT BE IN A
DIFFERENT PHASE. OF THE OF THE
PROCESS WE DO HAVE JURISDICTIONS
THAT HAVE SUBMITTED NO HOUSING
ELEMENT FAR PAST- FAR PAST THEIR
DUE DATE- AND THEY ARE TALKING
TO OUR HOUSING ACCOUNTABILITY
ACT RIGHT LIKE THERE THERE ARE
GOING TO BE PLACES WHERE WE HAVE
OUR TA APPROACHES IS NO LONGER
WORKING- AND WE NEED TO USE OUR
STICK. APPROACH I'M TO GET
PEOPLE BACK TO THE TABLE- BUT WE
ALSO HAVE JURISDICTIONS THAT ARE
OUT OF COMPLIANCE BUT OUR BUT
ARE PUTTING IN THE WORK ARE ARE
SHOWING UP TO MEETINGS WITH US
ARE MAKING THEIR- THE REVISIONS-
DID YOU GET INTO COMPLIANCE- AND
SO. YOU DON'T LITTLE BY LITTLE
WE'RE GONNA SEE THOSE THOSE
NUMBERS START TO CREEP UP- AND I
THINK THAT SPEAKS TO THE-
SEVERAL THAT PANEL MEMBERS
MENTIONED THIS. ALREADY BUT THE
NEED FOR THESE CARROTS YOU. BUT
YOU KNOW A LOT OF OUR GREAT. A
LOT OF HARD. THAT I'VE MET THIS
HOUSING BAR- ARE GOOD ARE
PUSHING FOR. I'M TO BE PRO
HOUSING JURISDICTIONS- THAT
MEANS THEY'RE NOT ONLY WILLING
TO YOU KNOW BE IN COMPLIANCE
WITH THE LAUNCH OF THEIR MEETING
THAT THRESHOLD- BUT ADOPTED
DECISION ALL. POLICIES THAT ARE
BETTER DOCUMENTED HAVE BEEN A
FACTOR IN ADDRESSING HOUSING
CHALLENGES- AND WE WANT TO WE
WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY HAVE
SOME SOME BENEFIT FOR DOING
THAT- SO WE HAVE THE PRO HOUSING
INCENTIVE PILOT. THAT'S OUT-
WHERE WHERE WE'RE PUTTING
DOLLARS ON THE TABLE AT TWENTY
SIX MILLION DOLLAR STATE
INVESTMENT- TO ENCOURAGE
JURISDICTION TO BECOME- HOUSING-
AND TO GET ADDITIONAL POINTS
UNDER THAT PROGRAM- THEN THE
AFFORDABLE HOUSING SUSTAINABLE
COMMUNITIES PROGRAM. THE INFILL
INFRASTRUCTURE GRANT.
TRANSFORMATIVE CLIMATE
COMMUNITIES PROGRAM SOLUTIONS
FOR CONGESTED CORRIDORS LOCAL
PARTNERSHIP PROGRAM THAT TRANSIT
INTERCITY RAIL. CAPITAL PROGRAM
ALL OF THESE PROGRAMS HAVE
RECOGNIZED THAT IF YOU'RE DOING
YOUR HOUSING PLANNING THAT'S
GOING TO BE GOOD FOR FROM A
CLIMATE CHANGE PERSPECTIVE AS
WELL. AND THAT WE NEED TO REALLY
REWARD JURISDICTIONS THAT ARE
DOING THAT WORK I'M. AND SO
THEY'RE ADDITIONAL FUNDING
POINTS. I ALREADY THROUGHOUT
THOSE PER. IN THE MEAN SOMETHING
ELSE THE LATE THROUGHOUT THIS
PER. THAT I THINK IS A TO KNOW
IS ALL IS LOCAL GOVERNMENTS
APPLY FOR THIS PROGRAMS THESE
ARE PROGRAMS THAT THAT WORK FOR
LOCAL GOVERNMENTS. SO WE ARE
TRYING TO CHECK. ME THE ACTOR IS
GOING TO BE MOST INFLUENCED BY
THIS- MUST HAVE. HAD THE MOST
INFLUENCE OVER THIS HOUSING
PLANNING PROCESS- THROUGH THOSE
PROGRAMS- SO AS OF RIGHT NOW WE
HAVE- TEN PRO HOUSING
JURISDICTIONS WE HAVE QUITE A
FEW- MORE IN THE QUEUE- BUT WE
ARE ALWAYS WELCOMING MORE PEOPLE
TO THAT- WHAT WE HOPE WILL NOT
BE AN EXCLUSIVE CLUB- AND-
THAT'S- BAD SAID. THAT SOMETHING
THAT I THINK IS. IT IS GOING TO
CONTINUE IS REALLY TRYING TO
GET. SET TO MOVE PEOPLE WHERE
THEY ARE ASKED TO THAT- TO BEING
MORE OF A PART OF THE SOLUTION.
BECAUSE WE NEED EVERY CITY AND
COUNTY OF CALIFORNIA ACTING WITH
URGENCY TO PLAN FOR ENCOURAGE
AND IMPROVE HOUSING. WE ARE
STILL TOO OFTEN I WOULD SAY
GETTING AFTER. HAVING TO
INTERVENE WITH OUR HOUSING
ACCOUNTABILITY UNIT TO REMOVE
ILLEGAL ROADBLOCKS FOR HOMES
THAT ARE WAITING APPROVAL OR
FACING REQUEST THAT WOULD ADD
SIGNIFICANT COSTS AND DELAY- WE
WORK WITH LOCAL ENOUGH TO KNOW
THAT MOST LOCALS. KNOW WITHOUT
MORE HOUSING THAT THEY ARE GOING
TO EXPERIENCE TREMENDOUS
CONSEQUENCES- AS A RESULT OF
THAT AIM TO MUCH WORDS HOUSING
WHETHER THAT'S- LOTS OF.
BUSINESSES LESS- LESS CASH IN
PEOPLE'S WALLETS YOU KNOW-
FREQUENT SMALL BUSINESSES THERE
YOU'RE GONNA SEE INCREASES IN
HOMELESSNESS LONGER COMMUTES
MORE TRAFFIC- BUT IT'S A HARD
THING TO SUPPORT HOUSING AT THE
LOCAL LEVEL SOMETIMES- AND SO-
WE DO WE DO YOU WANT TO BE HERE
WOULD YOU WANT TO STEP UP AND
SAY PEOPLE NEED TO FOLLOW STATE
LAW- AND- WE WOULD MANAGER. TO
DO WHAT'S IN CONTROL YOU KNOW WE
DON'T WE DON'T- WE'RE NOT ASKING
FOR THE MOON OR FOR AMERICA ALL
WE KNOW THAT THAT MARKETS
CHANGING REAL ESTATE TAX CYCLE
REAL ESTATE CYCLES EXIST- BUT
THERE ARE SIGNIFICANT THINGS
THAT JURISDICTION'S CONTINUE TO
BE. DOING WHAT'S IT WITHIN THEIR
CONTROL TO ADDRESS THE HOUSING
CRISIS AND SO WHETHER THAT'S
ADDRESSING FINDINGS THAT WE
PROVIDED YOU ON A PAST YOU
HOUSING ELEMENT. COMPLETING A
REZONE THAT YOU'VE COMMITTED TO
NOT PUTTING UNDUE BURDENS ON
MULTI FAMILY HOUSING THAT DOES
COME BEFORE JURISDICTION'S
APPROVAL. AND PROACTIVELY
ENGAGING WITH US YOU KNOW WE'RE
WE'RE HERE TO HELP- YOU KNOW WE
DON'T HAVE ALL THE STAFF THE
WORLD ALL THE TIME THE WORLD BUT
WE HAVE A LOT OF ENTHUSIASTIC
FOLKS IN A LOT MORE THAN WE USED
TO. YOU ARE HERE TO HELP- AND-
AND WE WANT TO DO THAT ON ALL
THE THINGS I MENTIONED AS WELL
AS THE SURPLUS LAND- WORK THAT
WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT. AND
NOT LEAVING BONDS ON THE TABLE.
I MEAN THERE ARE MORE RESOURCES
THAN THERE USED TO BE THERE SOME
THERE ARE PROGRAMS FOR LOCALS
ACCESS. AND MAKING SURE THAT
THAT THEY ARE. SEEING THEMSELVES
AS PART OF THAT SOLUTION ON THE
AFFORDABLE SIDE AS WELL. THANK
YOU AND WE WILL BRING IT BACK
HERE- FOR COLLEAGUES THAT HAVE
QUESTIONS WILL START WITH SURE
WINNER. THANK YOU. ALSO IN
WELCOME CENTERS SKINNER THE
AUTHOR OF SB THREE THIRTY- THE
FIRST WHAT ONE OF OUR GREAT HE
WAS THE- THE- HE WAS THE
INDIVIDUAL OF THE REPRESENTATIVE
OF SIMONA- TALKED ABOUT- THE
DESIRE TO- I ALSO KEEP LOOKING
UP AT THE TV EVEN THOUGH THAT ON
TV SCREEN WORKS- ARE THERE ARE
THERE ON THE LAPTOP- I GUESS IS
A- MISS **** TEAM PERHAPS-
UNKNOWNS. FROM SAN FRANCISCO
MISCUED HEROES SORRY- FROM CITY
OF POMONA- AND TALKED ABOUT- THE
NEWS THE NEED TO STRENGTHEN.
SYKORA INTEL'S EXEMPTIONS. FOR
THE U. WHO'VE TALKED ABOUT THAT
OR WAS THAT MR OF MR LAURIA I'M
SORRY. I GOT CONFUSED. MISTER
LAWYER CAN YOU JUST COMMENT.
MORE ON THAT I MEAN WE ARE
INTERESTED IN THE WEEKS YOU KNOW
IT ALL THIS WORK WE HAD SOME
TENSION WITH- WITH WITH CITIES
OF THEIR PLENTY OF CITIES THAT
ARE REALLY WORKING HARD TO DO
THAT THE RIGHT THING I KNOW THE
CITY'S. SOMETIMES GET YOU KNOW
FRUSTRATED AND YOU TRY TO BE-
COLLABORATIVE- BUT I KNOW THAT
ONE I CONSISTENT REFRAIN THAT I
HEAR. FROM CITY PLANNING- STAFFS
FROM CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS MAYORS
IS THAT HEY WE'RE WE'RE TRYING
ALLEN SYKORA IS MAKING OUR LIVES
A LOT HARDER WE'RE TRYING TO
COMPLY WITH STATE HOUSING LAW
WE'RE TRYING TO. BUILD
SUSTAINABLE HOUSING NEAR JOBS
AND TRANSIT- AND WERE HAVING
PROBLEMS CÁC CØNG SUPER APPEALS
AND LAWSUITS AND SO FORTH SO-
MISTER LUCRATIVE SYSTEM EXPAND.
ON THE COMMENTS THAT YOU MADE.
SURE YEAH I'D BE TO- I THINK
THAT YOU CHARACTER FOR THE-
ISSUE THAT A LOT DRASTIC CAN GO
ITS FROM. AND YOU KNOW EVEN
APPROVE THE PROJECT- BUT THEN
THERE ARE FURTHER APPEALS YOU
KNOW THIS IS A CHALLENGE OF THE
PROJECTS THAT WITHIN A SINGLE
EXEMPTION. OTHER PARTIES PRETTY
STYLED PROTECTED FROM THOSE
KINDS OF CHALLENGES FOR AS IF
THEY ARE REQUIRED TO GO THROUGH
YOU KNOW ANY KIND OF BAYERN A
REVIEW REQUIRING YOU KNOW NEXT
PREPARATION THAT CAN EASILY GET
PUMPED UP TO. AN E. I. R. WHICH
OF COURSE IS OUT OF TIME AND
MONEY. THE IRISH CONNECTICUT
CHALLENGED IN COURT WHICH IS A
LOT OF TIME AND MONEY. AND EVEN
IF THEY PREVAIL- YOU KNOW IT'S
BEEN MY. EXPERIENCE THAT. IT ARE
. YOU KNOW ARE ARE LOOKING AT
THEIR HOLDING COSTS AS MUCH AS
THEY ARE LOOKING AT THE- YOU
KNOW THE ACTUAL COST OF
DEVELOPMENT. FROM THEM SO. EACH
OF THOSE STEPS EACH OF THOSE
PROCEDURES EVERY HEARING TO HAVE
TO GO TO EVERY. LEGAL CHALLENGE
THAT THEY TAKE. IS YOU KNOW IS A
HOLDING COSTS IT CREATES LESS
HOUSING ULTIMATELY. AND THERE
ARE SOME YOU KNOW SOME
EXCEPTIONS FROM THE EXEMPTION
FOR- IN CHILL. EXEMPTION THAT I
TAKE IT THOSE WERE CLEANED UP
MEANT MORE PROJECTS WOULD FIT
WITHIN THE EXEMPTION. AND YOUR
WOULD BE ACCEPTED FROM THAT
EXEMPTION AND THEN. RESULT IN
LOSS HOLDING COSTS. SO I GUESS
WHERE I WAS YOU KNOW IT'S GOING
WITH THIS IS JUST TRYING TO
STRENGTHEN. A SINGLE EXEMPTIONS
AND I'VE SEEN THIS IN A COUPLE
OF THE HOUSING BILLS THAT HAVE
COME OUT IS THAT THEY HAVE
SPECIFIC EXEMPTIONS FOR- YOU
KNOW FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING IN
PARTICULAR THE THIRD THEIR
EXEMPTION FROM CEQA. AND SO I
JUST LIKE TO SEE MORE ABOUT I
THINK IT SUPPORTS LOCAL PROCESS
FOR THOSE JURISDICTIONS THAT ARE
REALLY TRYING TO. IN PARTICULAR
THING. AND TO PROMOTE HOUSING-
YOU KNOW INSIDE OF THE FACT IT.
YOU IN EVERY COMMUNITY YOU'RE
GOING TO HAVE AT LEAST ONE
PERSON AND THAT'S ALL IT TAKES
IS ONE PERSON. WHO'S READY TO
RAISE LEGAL CHALLENGE. YES
ANYONE WHO- VETERAN TO COMPETE A
LAWYER OR SEEN THIS WITH
AFFORDABLE HOUSING LOS A- WHO
WERE SOME MEGHAN AND THE USER.
IS A LAFAYETTE ARE RIGHT ARE YOU
I CAN'T REMEMBER THE EAST BAY
CITY OF THAT- HAS A- LITTLE MORE
TIME THEIR THEIR CITY COUNCIL DO
THE RIGHT THING AND IMPROVE THE
GREAT FOR AWHILE HOUSING PROJECT
AND SEVEN. MILLION EMPLOYEES WHO
HAVE MONEY AND WE'RE JUST
FUNDING SICKLE LAWSUIT THEY
REPRESENT. DON'T REPRESENT A
MAJORITY- THEY'RE JUST ABLE TO
DO THAT IT'S SUPER-
UNDEMOCRATIC- AND- THE- PHONE
NUMBER OF COURSE WE'RE SEEING
WHAT'S HAPPENING RIGHT NOW AT.
UC BERKELEY- FOR THE CALIFORNIA
COURT OF APPEAL ISSUED A
DECISION- THE COLLEGE. OR
POLLUTION THAT'S REALLY WHAT THE
BATES AND A MUCH. ROSIER NICER
SOUNDING WAY BUT IT'S A COLLEGE
. BECAUSE EVERYONE BECAUSE
EVERYONE KNOWS. EARLY TO COLLEGE
STUDENTS MAKE NOISE AS HUMAN
BEINGS. MAKE NOISE- WE ALL MAKE
NOISE AT ALL AGES- BUT IT WAS
FUN TO BE A COLLEGE STUDENT AND-
COLLEGE STUDENTS- ACCORDING TO
COURT OR OR POLLUTION AND SO
THEY HAVE TO BE MITIGATED- AS IF
THEY WERE LIKE. YOU COULD TELL
PLATE LIKE EXHAUST OR LIKE.
FUMES FROM A REFINERY I'M NOT
THAT'S LITERALLY HOW THE
CALIFORNIA COURT OF APPEAL
CLASSIFIED. COLLEGE STUDENTS WHO
ARE JUST TRYING TO GET AN
EDUCATION ARE YOU SEE BERKELEY
AND BE PART OF THE MIDDLE CLASS
AND YET THEIR POLLUTION THAT'S-
DOT TELL FOR SEQUEL HAS FALLEN
FROM WHAT IT WAS INTENDED TO DO
WHICH WAS TO ACTUALLY PROTECT
THE ENVIRONMENT- AND SO WE'RE
GONNA BE. DOING SOME WORK ON
THAT AND SEE WHAT HAS TO BE
FIXED- BUT- I ALSO- THANKS FOR
NOTING SOME OF THE LAWS THAT
REMOVE PROJECTS FROM SEQUOIA
ENTIRELY LIKE SB THIRTY FIVE
AND- THANK YOU- IS COSTING FOR
NOTING HOW SUCCESSFUL SAN
FRANCISCO HAS BEEN. WITH ME-
ABOUT THREE THOUSAND UNITS
ENTITLED TWO THIRDS OF WHICH
HAVE BEEN BUILT. ALREADY HAS
BEEN VERY SUCCESSFUL AND MORE-
GONNA THROUGH US BEFORE TWENTY
THREE THIS YEAR. WORK TO REMOVE
THE SUNSET AND MAKE SB THIRTY
FIVE EVEN MORE. EFFECTIVE AND
WANTS US TO TWENTY ELEVEN GOES
INTO EFFECT- I THINK WE'RE GOING
TO SEE THAT CONTINUING
ACCELERATION. SO THANK YOU
EVERYONE. THANK YOU. WE OF
SENATOR SKINNER OF COURSE- I
DON'T NECESSARILY HAVE A CO. I'M
I AM A- OF THE FACT THAT AND-
BOTH THE CITY'S RESPONSES BUT
ALSO OF THE H. C. D.'S. TAKING
THE REMOTE ENFORCEMENT PROCESS
VERY SERIOUSLY. AND YOU KNOW BUT
HOLDING OUR CITIES ACCOUNTABLE-
HOWEVER I. IT'S VERY IMPORTANT
THAT WE DO THIS HOWEVER HAVING
GOOD RENO'S IS STILL NOT
NECESSARILY GOING TO RESULT. IN-
IN ACHIEVING. THE ACTUAL
CONSTRUCTION OF THE HOUSING. AND
WELL THAT'S NOT THE- PANELS PER
SE OBLIGATION TO ADDRESS. WE ARE
WE ARE OF COURSE FACING PROBLEMS
OF. THE HIGHER INTEREST RATES
WE'RE SEEING A KIND OF DROP IN
MARKET HOUSING- YOU KNOW WE
WE'VE GOT A WE'VE GOT PROJECTS
THAT HAVE PERMITTED BUT HAVEN'T
BROKE GROUND AN INDICATION BY
DEVELOPERS THAT THEY MIGHT NOT-
ANYWAY JUST I FEEL LIKE WE HAVE
TO. WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO WORK
TOGETHER WITH OUR STATE AGENCIES
TO KIND OF UNDERSTAND THAT
LANDSCAPE AND SEE WHETHER IN THE
NEAR TERM. IS THERE IS THERE
SPACE FOR- EITHER MORE
INVESTMENTS IN THE VERY
AFFORDABLE OR LOW INCOME HOUSING
AND IS THERE MORE ABILITY TO GET
THAT. BROKEN GROUND RIGHT NOW.
THEN SOME OF THESE MARKET RATE
PROJECTS- IN IT YOU KNOW AGAIN
THE FINANCING ON THIS SITE IS
NOT AN EXPERTISE I HAVE I KNOW
ONE OF OUR PANELISTS TALKED
ABOUT. THE LOSS OF REDEVELOPMENT
WE DO HAVE IN TWO AREAS THE-
REGIONAL HOUSING FINANCE
AUTHORITY SPOKESMAN BAY AREA NOW
IN LA. AND IT WOULD IT SEEMS TO
ME THAT MORE OF THOSE WOULD
OBVIOUSLY HELP I DON'T KNOW IF
ANY OF OUR- CITY PANELISTS SPOKE
AT ALL ABOUT- WHETHER THEY HAD
EFFORTS TO TRY TO PUT THINGS ON
THE BALLOT THAT MIGHT HELP THEM
FIND HOUSING. THAT THEN FAILED
TO DO TO THE THRESHOLD AND I
DON'T KNOW WHETHER ANY OF THEM
WANTED TO SPEAK TO THAT. THE
VOTER THRESHOLD THAT'S REQUIRED
TO GET THOSE PASSED. DIVERSITIES
WAS SPEAK TO THAT. I CAN SPEAK
BRIEFLY WE THE LAST AFFORDABLE
HOUSING BOND. THAT WE PASSED WAS
IN TWENTY NINETEEN OR SIX
HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS- AND
THAT PASSED AT THE CURRENT
THRESHOLD SO. YOU KNOW WE'RE
ALWAYS LOOKING FOR
OPPORTUNITIES. TO BRING MORE
FUNDING AND YOU KNOW LOOKING AT
BAFA AS AN OPPORTUNITY. TO GET.
FUNDING ACROSS THE REGION WHICH
YOU KNOW WE AND WE UNDERSTAND
INSURANCE CO THAT. TO SUCCEED IN
ADDRESSING OUR HOUSING CRISIS WE
NEED ALL THE JURISDICTIONS
ACROSS THE REGION TO. ALSO BE
PART OF THE SOLUTION AND SO
WE'RE VERY SUPPORTIVE. OF
LOOKING TOWARDS AT THE REGIONAL
LEVEL FOR. MEASURES THAT WOULD
BE HELPFUL- IN BUILDING MORE
AFFORDABLE HOUSING. WITH THAT DO
YOU HAVE AN ESTIMATE OF HOW MANY
GIVEN THE COST OF CONSTRUCTION
NOW HOW MANY UNITS YOU'RE GOING
TO BE ABLE TO ACHIEVE WITH THAT
UP ON MEASURE AT A SIX HUNDRED
MILLION IT WAS A SIX OR MILLION
BOND MEASURE I KNOW IT'S NOT.
COVERING ALL THE COSTS YOU KNOW
HOPING TO MATCH AND SUCH BUT
GIVE AN ESTIMATE. I DON'T HAVE
THAT ON HAND I KNOW THAT WE'RE
ESTIMATING ABOUT BONDS TO LAST
ROUGHLY ANOTHER TWO YEARS AND
THEN- AND IN TERMS OF FUNDING
OUR CURRENT PIPELINE AND WE'RE
GOING TO NEED ADDITIONAL FUNDING
BEYOND THAT. OKAY. THANK YOU

DIFFERENT INTERNAL PLANNING TO
TEAMS AT WILL ALSO INCLUDE A LOT
OF OUR REVIEW- ENVIRONMENTAL
PLANNING BE A SIGN ARE VARIETY
OF DIFFERENT. STUDIES WILL BE
NEEDED INCLUDING SHADOW AND WIND
ANOTHER EACH I WILL REQUIRE
THEIR OWN SPECIALIZED
CONSULTANTS TO COMPLETE- THE
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW VARIES BY
LOCATION FOR THE PROBLEM PROJECT
AND COULD INCLUDING A COMMUNITY
PLAN EXEMPTION FOR PROJECTS
WHOSE. OF OUR MENTAL IMPACT HAS
ALREADY BEEN STUDIED BUT IT
COULD ALSO INVOLVING MEDICATED
NINE DAGGER FOR MORE EXTENSIVE
FOCUS D. I. R. OR FULL LOAN
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT
WHICH COULD ADD A YEAR AND
SIGNIFICANT COSTS IN THE
PROCESS. I'M PROUD TO PLAY AND
IT. REVIEW PROCESS FOR. AND
LANDING IMMUNITY OUT OF REACH IN
COLLABORATION WITH A PUBLIC
RELATIONS CONSULTANT. WE MEET
WITH COMMUNITY STAKEHOLDERS
INCLUDING NEIGHBORS INFLUENTIAL
COMMUNITY GROUPS AND DISTRICTS
SUPERVISORS. TO HE GET BACK AN
ANSWER QUESTIONS AND POTENTIALLY

TO GET APPROVAL FOR PROJECT
IMPACTS THE PARK YOU MIGHT BE
REQUIRED TO HOLD AROUND HIM PARK

HISTORIC RESOURCE YOU MIGHT BE
REQUIRED TO HOLD A HISTORIC
PRESERVATION COMMITTEE HEARING.
ALTERNATELY THERE WILL BE A
PUBLIC HEARING IN FRONT OF THE
SAN FRANCISCO PLANNING

SUPPORT. FROM THE MAJORITY OF
THE SEVEN MEMBER PLANNING
COMMISSION. AND THEN EVEN AFTER
WINNING THERE'S A SIXTY DAY
APPEAL PERIOD AFTER WHICH ARE
PROJECT COULD POTENTIALLY BE
APPEALED TO THE SAN FRANCISCO
BOARD OF SUPERVISORS. AS WELL
ARE PRIVATE PROJECT COULD BE THE
TARGET OF A CIVIL LAWSUIT- THE
INTERNAL PROCESS IS VERY LENGTHY
TIME CONSUMING. I AM EXTREMELY
RISKY HI TO MOST CASES
ENTITLEMENTS. AROUND EIGHTEEN TO
TWENTY FOUR MONTHS- GOING
THROUGH THE NORMAL PROCESS BUT
IN MANY CASES IT COULD TAKE A
MUCH LONGER DEPENDING UPON.
NEIGHBORHOOD ALL OPPOSITIONS.
THE PROBLEM WAS PROBLEM FROM-
PROJECT BUT WE'VE GOT GOOD AND-
YOU KNOW WHAT KIND OF MOVIE AND
THE NEXT PHASE OF PROJECT WHERE
WE SEE. COMMENTS AND REYES-
FINANCE TO BUILD PROJECT. IS
STAR BUYING- I ARCHITECT. TO
KIND OF GO TO THE FULL DESIGN TO
CONSTRUCT PHASE ROGER- TYPICALLY
WOULDN'T ADVANCE THE DRAWINGS TO
THE STAGE BEFORE ENTITLEMENTS
BECAUSE THERE'S A VERY HIGH RISK
OF THE PROJECT MIGHT NOT GET
APPROVED. HERALD I WILL BE
PERMITTING OR PROJECT THROUGH
THE DEPARTMENT OF BUILDING
INSPECTION AND PROCESSING A
VARIETY OF ENVIRONMENTS
INCLUDING EXCAVATION TRYING HER
MAN. SACRAMENTO STREET
IMPROVEMENTS DEMOCRAT MINUTE SIX
ARE ALL. I WILL ALSO NEED TO
KNOW TO CALL THE GUARANTEED
MAXIMUM PRICE CONTRACT FOR THEIR
GENERAL CONTRACTOR TO BUILD THE
BUILDING AND THEN LASTLY AND
MOST IMPORTANTLY. WE NEED TO
IDENTIFY NEGOTIATE AND CLOSE I
JOIN VENTURE HAPPENING PARTNER
AS WELL AS CLOSING THE
CONSTRUCTION FINANCING LANDER TO
PROVIDE FINANCING TO BUILD A
PROJECT- WE IS MARKET RATE
DEVELOPERS AND WORK IN A FAST OF
OUR INVESTORS. WE NEED OUR
DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS TO MEET
CERTAIN RETURN THRESHOLDS I NEED
TO INVESTORS MANY OF WHOM MANAGE
MONEY FOR PENSIONS AND
ENDOWMENTS I HAVE A LOT OF
OPTIONS WHERE THEY CAN BUY
STARTED OUT ALL TO ACHIEVE THE
BEST. RISK ADJUSTED RETURNS. ALL
THESE PAST ARE. WONDERMENT AND
FIND A SUPPLY COULD TAKE YEAR
AFTER ACHIEVE OUR PRODUCT
APPROVALS TO COMPLY. CAL MARKETS
TURN AGAINST YOU AS A- HOW IN
THE CURRENT AND- AS A RESULT OF
RISING. RATES THANK. LONGER TO
LOCK FINANCE THIS IS TO GET A
PROJECT. OFF THE GROUND. SO ONCE
YOU SUCCEED IN- GETTING. PROJECT
FINANCING YEAH. PERMITS AND- YOU
CAN BRING OVER AND FORWARD THE
COUNTRY. LISA IS. A CONSTRUCT IS
VERY COMPLEX AND RISKY IT
REQUIRES VERY SPECIALIZED
STAFFING. TO OVERSEE A PROJECT-
ALL THE BASES AND SUCCESSFUL
COMPLETION. ON TIME AND ON
BUDGET. COMMENTING ON A
CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY. ONCE
THE CONSTRUCTION IS COMPLETE
HOWEVER OKAY REGARD PARTY
PROPERTY MANAGEMENT GROUPS. PLAN
AND EXECUTE DO TELEMARKETING. AT
LEAST OUTLINES FOR A BUILDINGS.
I'M A HELL OF BUDGET. HAS AND
MARK JOB WITH OVER THE LAST.
NUMBER YEARS NOW LIKE. TO HELP
MAKE IT MORE PRACTICAL AND
AVAILABLE. FOR HOUSING
DEVELOPMENT AND TO STREAMLINE
THE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS THROUGH
BILLS SUCH AS SB THIRTY FIVE AND
EIGHTY TWENTY ELEVEN- MY FIRM
HAS AVAILED OURSELVES OF MANY OF
THESE BILLS SUCH AS SB THIRTY
FIVE. AND IT HAS A SIGNIFICANTLY
HELP REDUCE ENTITLEMENT TIME
ADDRESS. I'M ANGRY THAT I SEE
NOW IS THAT HOUSING. DON'T HAVE
GIVEN THE HIGH COST TO BUILD AN
EFFECTIVE RENTS HAVE NOT YET
RECOVERED TO PRE COMING LEVELS
IN SAN FRANCISCO. I'M BATMAN
HAVE HIGHLIGHTED THIS POINT
EARLIER ON THE FIRST PANEL AND
I'M GOING WAS SPOT ON- THE
RETURNS NOW TO DEVELOP HOUSING
GROUND UP OR SIMPLY NOT THERE
ARE FOR MANY INVESTORS TO DEPLOY
CAPITAL IN THE GROUND ON HOUSING
DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS THAT ARE
QUITE RISKY. BUT CERTAIN
JUMPSTART HOUSING WE REALLY NEED
TO FOCUS ON CREATIVE WAYS TO
MAKE HOUSING LESS POPULATED
BILL. IN CALIFORNIA. THANK YOU
FOR YOUR TIME AND ATTENTION. AND
ALL TAKEN BY- LATER- I WOULD BE
HAPPY TO DISCUSS- ANY OF THESE
TOP AND MORE DETAIL AND ALL.
AND- THE PRESENTATION OF OUT OF
MY PANELISTS WHO WILL PROVIDE
THEIR- PERSPECTIVES AND VIEWS ON
THE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS. THANK
YOU SO MUCH FOR THE AUTO WILL
NOW TURN OVER TO THE SUBURBS.
THE YOU THANK YOU VERY. I MISS
THE OPPORTUNITY TO- PREPARE AT
POWER POINT PRESENTATION AND
THOSE OF YOU WHO KNOW ME KNOW
THAT I LOVE POWER POINT
PRESENTATIONS BUT I WILL JUST
USE MY WORDS TODAY- SO HONORABLE
MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEES- THANK
YOU FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY TO
SPEAK MY NAME IS ANSEL BURKE.
I'M A CEO FOR RELATED TO
NORTHERN CALIFORNIA AND
NORTHWEST AFFORDABLE DIVISIONS
AND IN MY ROLE I AM CURRENTLY
OVERSEEING THE CREATION OF OVER
FIVE HOUSING UNITS OF AFFORDABLE
HOUSING- AND IN OUR THIRTY YEAR
HISTORY RELATED CALIFORNIA. HAS
BEEN ONE OF THE LARGER
DEVELOPERS OF AFFORDABLE AND
MIXED INCOME HOUSING IN THE
STATE AND WE HAVE DEVELOPED OVER
EIGHTEEN THOUSAND UNITS- SO
FIRST AND FOREMOST AGAIN I WANT
TO SAY THANK YOU I WOULD LIKE TO
EXPRESS MY- GRATITUDE NINETEEN-
HEARTFELT GRATITUDE ACTUALLY
OUGHT TO THE LAWMAKERS THAT
STAFF MEMBERS. OF THE ASSEMBLY
AND THE SENATE A MOST
PARTICULARLY THE- HOUSING
COMMITTEES- AS WELL AS THE NEW
SOME ADMINISTRATION FOR YOUR
CLEAR COMMITMENT TO COMBATING
THIS SEVERE HOUSING CRISIS THAT
WE'RE IN- THE LAWS AND THE
POLICIES THAT YOU'VE ALL WORKED
TIRELESSLY TO DESIGN AND PASS
AND IMPLEMENT. I HAVE BEEN
CRITICAL TO OUR ABILITY TO
ADDRESS THIS VERY LARGE
CHALLENGE OF HOUSING ON
AVAILABILITY AND SECURITY- WE
ALL TOGETHER HERE FACE AN
ENORMOUS TASK TO ENSURE THAT
CALIFORNIANS HAVE. ACCESS TO
PERMANENT AFFORDABLE HOUSING
NEAR BASIC SERVICE STAYS NEAR
EMPLOYMENT NEAR HIGH QUALITY
TRANSIT AND REALLY THE PROGRESS
THAT'S ALREADY BEEN MADE- IS
MAKING AN INCREDIBLE DIFFERENCE
IN OUR ABILITY TO DELIVER
AFFORDABLE HOMES QUICKLY SO
AGAIN THANK YOU. I WANNA BUILD A
LITTLE BIT ON THE DESCRIPTION OF
THE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS THAT
MARK JUST WENT THROUGH ALL OF
THEM I WILL SAY FOR US IN THE
AFFORDABLE. HOUSING SPACE THE
STEPS- THAT HE DOES ARE THEY SAY
WAY THE FOR. BUT I WOULD LIKE TO
HIGHLIGHT JUST A FEW- UNIQUE
ADVANTAGES AND ALSO CHALLENGES
THAT ARE FACED BY AFFORDABLE
HOUSING DEVELOPERS IN CALIFORNIA
PARTICULARLY RIGHT NOW- SO FIRST
I WANT TO START WITH WHAT'S
WORKING- ALWAYS BEST TO DO THAT
IT HAPPENS TO BE AT THE START OF
THE PROCESS- WHEN IT COMES TO
SITE SELECTION I. I DO WANT TO
SAY THAT THE RECENT AMENDMENTS
TO THE SURPLUS LAND ACT AND THE
ACCESS SITES PROGRAM UNDER
GOVERNOR NUISANCE EXECUTIVE
ORDER. REALLY BOLD HAVE BEEN
VERY EFFECTIVE IN MAKING MORE
SITES AVAILABLE AND ACCESSIBLE
FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF
AFFORDABLE HOUSING I KNOW THE
CONVERSATION EARLIER WAS ABOUT
HOW TO IMPROVE THAT AND MAKE IT
EVEN BETTER AND WE SUPPORT THAT
OF COURSE BUT WE'RE ALREADY
STARTING TO SEE. THE IMPACT OF
HAVING THE SITES AVAILABLE- I
WOULD SAY IF YOU LIKE TO TAKE
THIS ONE STEP FURTHER- WE
ENCOURAGE FACILITATING SITE
ACQUISITION PARTICULARLY IN WHAT
MIGHT BE IT DOWN REAL ESTATE
MARKET BY AYE SUPPORTING PUBLIC
OWNERSHIP THERE WAS SOME TALK OF
THIS EARLIER- WITH SOME OF THE
PRESENTATIONS LAND BANKING. AS
WELL AS LOW COST LOANS OR GRANTS
FOR A- LAND ACQUISITION. ALL
RIGHT SECOND. AND THIS IS
NEARING DEAR TO MY HEART I FEEL
SO STRONGLY ABOUT THIS. ALSO IN
THE CATEGORY OF WHAT'S WORKING
ON THE RECENT SUITE OF LAND USE
REFORM AND STREAMLINING LAWS
STARTING WITH SB THIRTY FIVE BUT
NOW ALSO INCLUDING SB THREE
THIRTY. AB. SEVENTEEN SIXTY
THREE TWENTY ONE SIXTY TWO
TWENTY NINE TWENTY THREE AND
SOON TO BE IMPLEMENTED AB TWENTY
ELEVEN HAVE LITERALLY
REVOLUTIONIZE HOW WE'RE
PROCEEDING WITH ENTITLEMENTS AND
SECRET CLEARANCE WITH AFFORDABLE
HOUSING- I'VE BEEN IN THIS
INDUSTRY DOING THIS WORK FOR-
NEARLY. THIRTY YEARS MAYBE OVER
THIRTY YEARS BUT WE'LL JUST SAY
NEARLY THIRTY YEARS AND SO I CAN
SAY THIS IS A- FROM MY OWN
EXPERIENCE- AND I CAN SAY THIS
VERY CONFIDENTLY- INSTEAD OF
SPENDING YEARS AND YEARS OF TIME
AND MILLIONS OF DOLLARS TO
DEFEND. AND PROCESS AND OFTEN
FIGHT FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING
AFFORDABLE DEVELOPERS ARE ABLE
TO CHOOSE FROM A MENU OF LAWS
NOW TO USE IN STREAMLINING
ENTITLEMENTS AND SECRET
CLEARANCE IN A WAY THAT WE
DIDN'T EVEN DREAM OF- EVEN A
DECADE AGO SO. IN MANY CASES WE
ARE SEEING THE EFFECTS OF ALL OF
YOUR HARD WORK- OUR ORGANIZATION
A LOAN AND HAS ENTITLED EIGHT
HUNDRED AND EIGHTEEN UNITS AND
SEVEN PROJECTS- SINCE SB THIRTY
FIVE AND WE HAVE ANOTHER- ELEVEN
HUNDRED AND SEVENTY SIX UNITS.
IN PROCESS SOME ARE JUST MONTHS
AWAY SO WE'RE SEEING REAL
PROGRESS HERE- AND I KNOW
THERE'S MORE TO BE DONE THAT WE
SEEK BAR- AND STREAMLINING- TO
EXPAND THE APPLICABILITY AND-
IMPORTANTLY TO EXTEND TO MAKE
PERMANENT. THAT SEND SETTING
LEGISLATION OF SB THIRTY FIVE SO
EIGHTY FOUR TWENTY THREE IF I
HAVE MY RIGHT OF MY NUMBER
CORRECT HERE BUT IT'S REALLY
REALLY IMPORTANT TO SEE THOSE
CHANGES THE EXTENSION AND TO
MAKE THAT A PERMANENT. BUT I CAN
SAY SO FAR AT THE PROJECT LEVEL
THE CHANGES THAT ARE RESULTING
FROM THIS LEGISLATION ARE VERY
SIGNIFICANT SIGNIFICANT TURNS
THAT TIME SAVINGS HOUSING
DOLLARS EIGHTY NINE PROVIDING
SOME CERTAINTY TO THE PROCESS
WHICH IN AFFORDABLE HOUSING IS
REALLY IMPORTANT. I WOULD SAY
ALSO BE ON THE PROJECT LEVEL ON
A MACRO LEVEL OR STATEWIDE LEVEL
ON THIS IS BRINGING MANY MORE
PROJECTS FORWARD- CREATING A
REALLY ROBUST AND FULL PIPELINE
OF CRITICALLY NEEDED AFFORDABLE
HOUSING- READY TO BE BUILT FOR
CALIFORNIANS THIS IS WORKING.
ALRIGHT SO THIS LEADS ME TO THE
NEXT THING WHICH IS A CHALLENGE-
IF YOU FOLLOW MARKS- PROCESS
DESCRIPTION. ONE OF THE NEXT-
ITEMS TO TALK POLICE FINANCING
AND THIS IS REAL WHERE WE NEED
TO VOTE OUR AND- TODAY OUR
GREATEST CHALLENGE IN THE
AFFORDABLE HOUSING SPACE IS
FUNDING- WE ARE MOVING PROJECTS
FORWARD THROUGH THE APPROVALS
PROCESS WERE READYING THEM FOR
DEVELOPMENT AND THEN THEY'RE
GETTING BOTTLENECKED AT THE
FINANCING STAGE. THIS IS BEEN
THE CASE OVER THE LAST SEVERAL
YEARS BUT IS BECOMING EVEN MORE
TRUE AND MORE AT YOU TODAY WE
HAVE TO ADDRESS THIS CHALLENGE
OR WILL FALL. FURTHER AND
FURTHER BEHIND IN OUR EFFORTS TO
HOUSE CALIFORNIANS- I WOULD SAY
OVER THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS
WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO PRODUCE UNITS
UP TO THE CAST TO OUR MAXIMUM
UNDER THE LIGHT TECH PROGRAM.
AND THE TAX EXEMPT BOND PROGRAMS
THEIR FEDERAL CAPS THAT ARE
IMPOSED PER CAPITA ON THOSE TWO
PROGRAMS AND THOSE ARE REALLY
WHAT WE'RE USING AS THE MAIN
ENGINE FOR A 100% AFFORDABLE.
HOUSING THAT'S ABOUT TWENTY
THOUSAND UNITS A YEAR THAT WAS
POINTED OUT EARLIER IT'S NOT
NEARLY ENOUGH. BUT AT LEAST IT'S
SOMETHING WHAT WE'RE WORRIED
ABOUT NOW. IS FALLING SHORT OF
THAT I HAD PLANNED ON PRESENTING
A CASE TO ENCOURAGE ADDITIONAL
CAPACITY FOR THE STATE TO COME
UP WITH A WAY TO REPLACE- THE
FEDERAL CREDITS AND GO BEYOND
THE LIMITS OF THE PER CAPITA. A
LIMIT OF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
BUT UNFORTUNATELY I THINK OUR
SUBSIDY SITUATION IS SO MUCH
MORE DIRE THAT WE REALLY HAVE TO
FOCUS ON AT LEAST SUPPORTING THE
PRODUCTION LEVELS THAT WE'VE HAD
OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS-
RIGHT NOW MUCH OF THE CRITICAL.
CRITICALLY NEEDED SOFT DATA THAT
WE USE- TO COMPLETE THE CAPITAL
STACK FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING. IS
ACTUALLY WELL IT'S ALREADY BEEN
INSUFFICIENT BUT NOW IT'S
STARTING. AND DROPPING I'M TO
GIVE YOU A SENSE OF THE ENORMITY
OF THIS PROBLEM- THE READ RECENT
ACT SUPERNOVAE AROUND FOR STATE
LEVEL FINANCING WAS
OVERSUBSCRIBED FIVE TO ONE. OF
THREE POINT FIVE BILLION IN
REQUEST FOR SIX HUNDRED AND
FIFTY MILLION AND RESOURCES
THOSE ARE PROJECTS THAT ARE
READY TO GO- AND THE MHD PROGRAM
IN PARTICULAR WHICH IS A REALLY
CRITICAL PROGRAM FOR THE
DEVELOPMENT OF AFFORDABLE
HOUSING WAS OVERSUBSCRIBED TEN
TO ONE. TEN TO ONE TO MAKE
MATTERS WORSE BAY CITY DIRECTORS
INDICATED THE MHP NEXT ROUND
MAYBE THE LAST ROUND THAT WE
HAVE SO THIS PROBLEM IS ONLY
GOING TO GET WORSE. AS WE RUN
OUT OF FUNDING AND THEN FURTHER
THE STATE CREDITS ARE ALLOCATED
THROUGH THE SIMILAC PRO- PROCESS
ANOTHER AWAY TO FILL THAT
CAPITAL STACK FOR AFFORDABLE
HOUSING. WAS ALSO SERIOUSLY
OVERSUBSCRIBED IN THE LAST
ROUND- ALL OF THE CREDITS FOR
THE ENTIRE YEAR- WILL BE GONE IN
THIS FIRST ROUND SO THE NEXT
COUPLE OF ROUNDS THERE WILL BE
NO STATE CREDIT. YEAH AND WE
STILL HAVE MANY MANY PROJECTS
THAT APPLY FOR CREDIT THAT WILL
NOT GET IN THE WARD AND ARE
STALLED OUT SO. THE SEVERE LACK
OF FUNDING IS COMING AT THE
WORST POSSIBLE TIME WHEN HOUSING
NEEDS R. AS CUTE AS THEY'VE EVER
BEEN- WE NEVER BEEN SO FAR BY.
AND WE ARE FACING A MOMENT IN
THE ECONOMIC CYCLE WHERE WE
ACTUALLY COULD MAKE SOME
PROGRESS AFFORDABLE HOUSING
OFTEN TENDS TO BE COUNTER
CYCLICAL TO MARKET RATE HOUSING
AND WE REALLY COULD BE MOVING
FORWARD- WE CAN'T AFFORD. TO
REPEAT WHAT HAPPENED IN THE LAST
ECONOMIC ECONOMIC DOWN CYCLE-
MANY OF US EXPERIENCE THAT
SQUARE- THAT CYCLED. DOWNSIDE
LOOK HEARD AND THEY AFFORDABLE
HOUSING INDUSTRY SAT IDLY BY
UNABLE TO PRODUCE HOUSING FOR
LACK OF AVAILABLE FUNDING- WE
NOT ONLY LOST GROUND IN OUR
HOUSING PRODUCTION BUT WE ALSO
LOST REALLY. A CRITICAL WORKERS
IN OUR INDUSTRY INCLUDING
CONSTRUCTION WORKERS THAT NEVER
CAME BACK AND WE'RE STILL
FEELING THE EFFECTS OF THAT EVEN
TODAY WITH HOUSING AND LABOR
SHORTAGES. SO TO AVOID THIS
PROBLEM I WOULD RECOMMEND THE
FOLLOWING INCREASE THE
AVAILABILITY OF FUNDING FOR
AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND REPLACE
AND EXPAND THE FUNDING THAT'S
CURRENTLY BEING DEPLETED.
STABILIZE AFFORDABLE HOUSING
PRODUCTION AND- LONG TERM WITH A
RELIABLE ONGOING DEDICATED
SOURCE OF FUNDING FOR AFFORDABLE
HOUSING JUST LIKE THE-
STREAMLINING LEGISLATION WAS
GROUNDBREAKING AND RATHER THAN
YOU KNOW. LEGACY PRODUCING IT
WAS HISTORIC THIS IS AN
OPPORTUNITY TO AGAIN MAKE A MOVE
THAT WILL CHANGE THE WAY WE
BUILD AFFORDABLE HOUSING HAVING
SOME PREDICTABILITY AND
STABILITY IN THE SYSTEM IS
CRITICAL. ALSO BUILD SOME
FLEXIBILITY INTO THE SYSTEM TO
ALLOW FUNDING SOURCE TO FILL
GAPS IN THE CAPITAL STACK AS
THEY'RE NEEDED AND UTILIZE THE
MOST EFFICIENT MECHANISM TO
DELIVER THESE WORST RESOURCES TO
PROJECT TO ENSURE. THE MAXIMUM
BENEFIT- OF MORE FUNDING IS
NEEDED FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING
NOW TO KEEP THE PRODUCTION AT
LEAST AT THE LEVELS THAT IT'S
BEEN OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF
YEARS- AND MAKING THE SOURCES
PREDICTABLE AND ON GOING WILL
ALLOW EVERYONE TO PLAN
EFFICIENTLY AND DELIVER THIS
HOUSING TO DO CALIFORNIANS- AGES
WHEN LAST. WEEK THE ODD TO THOSE
OF YOU WHO HAVE MADE HISTORY AND
ARE INTERESTED IN DOING IT
AGAIN- YOU'VE MADE SO MUCH
HISTORY BY POSSIBLY CHANGING THE
WAY WE ADDRESS HOUSING ISSUES IN
THE STATE. SO MANY MORE UNITS
WILL BE BUILT AS A RESULT OF
YOUR HARD WORK AND YOUR
PARTNERSHIP WITH. LAWMAKERS AND
THE GOVERNOR ALL OF WHOM HAVE
WORK DILIGENT EACH TO PASS AN
EMBLEM AFFECT POLICY. WE LOOK TO
YOU NOW TO MAKE MORE MONEY AND
MORE EXCUSING MORE HISTORY. WITH
MORE MONEY COMMITTED AND
DEDICATED TO AFFORDABLE HOUSING
. TO ENCOURAGE DEVELOPMENT IN
THE STATE AGAIN THANK YOU FOR
ALL OF YOUR SUPPORT YEAH AND- I
HOPE THESE COMMENTS WILL BE
HELPFUL AS YOU NAVIGATE THE
CURRENT ENVIRONMENT THANK YOU.
GREAT THANK YOU. ANALYSTS THREE
QUESTIONS WE WILL MARK FOR ONE
MORE I'M SORRY BUT I WANTED MORE
MISTER ROGERS. MY SINCEREST OF
MY SINCEREST APOLOGIES- MISTER
YOU'RE MY I'M SORRY. FULL
SENATOR WIENER AND ASSEMBLY
MEMBER WICKS AND- CENTER SKINNER
I'M STILL THERE. IT SAID IT'S MY
IT'S MY HONOR TO. TALK WITH YOU
HERE AND- THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR
ALL YOUR HELP WITH AFFORDABLE
HOUSING. FOR ALL THESE YEARS
HOUSING IN GENERAL. AND I'M IN
SACRAMENTO BASIN SACRAMENTO
SUNNY TIME THAT YOU'D LIKE TO
GET TOGETHER TALK RIGHT YOU'RE
WELCOME THAT OPPORTUNITY KNOCKS
THAT'S WHY I'M HERE THIS
AFTERNOON. SO MY COMPANY ANTON
DESCO- WAS FOUNDED IN
SACRAMENTO- ALMOST THIRTY YEARS
AGO WE'VE BUILT TWELVE THOUSAND
UNITS. ABOUT HALF FOR AFFORDABLE
AND HAVE FOR MARKET RATE. WE A
BILL WE STARTED IN LONDON
SACRAMENTO LA MOVED TO THE BAY
AREA. AND WE HAVE BUILT IN
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA BOTH. INLAND
AND COASTAL. AND NOW WE ARE
BUILDING IN COLORADO AND WE'RE
BUILDING IN ARIZONA. AND SO THIS
GEOGRAPHICAL DIVERSITY IS
ENORMOUSLY INTERESTING TO ME AS
SOMEONE AS A STUDENT HOUSING AND
GROUP BASED HOUSING MY LIFE'S
WORK. AND SO I'LL JUST YOU KNOW
. SHERIFF YOU- DOTSON. RENDER
THAT I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY
QUESTIONS YOU HAVE EVEN KNOWER
OR LATER OR- WHAT HAVE YOU-
RIGHT. FIRST THE NEXT THING ON
MY LIST IS TO JUST JUST GET BACK
ON- THANK YOU WHAT'S WHAT YOU
DID SB THREE THIRTY. IS A REALLY
INTERESTING OFFER US IS MARKET
RATE SO THAT'S WHY WE'RE GOING
THROUGH AND READING THAT AND
HOW- YOU KNOW WHOEVER WROTE THAT
LAW- KNOWS WHAT WE DEAL WITH
WITH CITIES AND TRYING TO CLOSE
ALL THOSE LOOPHOLES AND SO I
JUST I JUST THAT LEVEL OF
DETAIL. IN PARTICULAR WAS JUST
SUPER HELPFUL FOR US ET YOU LAWS
HELPFUL. THE DENSITY BONUS LAW
WHICH OBVIOUSLY SOMEBODY FOLKS
MENTIONED THAT'S A BIG BONUS
LAWS A GREAT LAW IT'S
CONTINUALLY STRENGTHENED- EIGHT.
HAS BEEN HELP AND GIVE I'M GONNA
CASE STUDY IN. WHERE EACH YEAR
HELPFUL. AND JUST OVERALL THE
FOCUS ON BIRD BECAUSE THAT THE
WAY TO. ANYTHING WORSE MORE
AFFORDABLE WHETHER IT'S HOUSING
OR WHICH IS OR ANYTHING THIS
MORE SUPPLY. AND SO- AND- NOT
STOCKS WERE WHICH WERE IN THE
BUSINESS DOING COUPLE FEW KEY
FACTS ON COSTS. BUT I'D LIKE TO
SHARE WITH YOU OPEN MICROPHONE A
LITTLE BIT. COLORADO FOUR
HUNDRED UNIT PROJECT UNDER
CONSTRUCTION IN AURORA AURORA
IS- IS THE IS THE DENVER AT THE
DENVER METRO. NEAR FITZSIMMONS
MEDICAL CENTER- AND THEN WE ALSO
HAVE THE PROJECT UNDER
CONSTRUCTION. IN SANTA CRUZ
CALIFORNIA WHICH IS TWO HUNDRED
UNITS THOSE PROJECTS ARE BOTH
PODIUMS BOTH SEVEN STORIES TALL
TOGETHER- THEY BOTH HAVE A
LITTLE TINY BIT OF AFFORDABILITY
MINIMAL SQUARE ABILITY- BUT THE
MARKET RATE DEALS. THE COLORADO
PROJECT ARE HARD COSTS ARE TWO
HUNDRED FIFTY SIX DOLLARS PER
SQUARE FOOT- THE SAME PROJECT IN
SANTA CRUZ. FOUR HUNDRED TWENTY
NINE DOLLARS. THAT IS. ONE POINT
SIX SAID AS A ONE POINT SIX
ALMOST A ONE POINT SEVEN X. AND-
THAT DOES NOT INCLUDE PREVAILING
WAGE YOU SHOULD WAS PREVAILING
WAGES. THE PROJECT WOULD BE
TWICE AS EXPENSIVE AS THE CALLED
THE SANTA CRUZ PROJECT CHOICE
EXPENSIVE. AS THE- KALRA PROJECT
. WELL JUST BY WAY OF
INFORMATION THAT THEY WANTED YOU
KNOW. THIS IS A PIECE OF LAND
COSTS ELEVEN MILLION DOLLARS IN
COLORADO- AND THAT YOU'RE A-
PIECE OF LAND FOR TWO HUNDRED
UNITS A SANTA CRUZ COST IS
TWENTY TWO MILLION DOLLARS. AND
THE PERSON WHO BOUGHT IT FROM
SLAVED AWAY IN THE CITY OF SANTA
CRUZ I'M SURE YOU CAN ALL
IMAGINE- FOR YEARS TO GET THAT
PROJECT APPROVED WE BOUGHT THAT
PROJECT AND PAID THAT PRICE AS
AN APPROVED DEAL THAT WAS
ALREADY THROUGH. SCHOENING AND
SEQUEL- JUST A COUPLE OTHER UP
ACTUALLY HAVE AS- FOR STORY-
PROJECT WE'RE WORKING ON WHICH
FRAME WITH NO CONCRETE NO
STRUCTURE CONCRETE SURFACE
PARKING. THAT'S TWO HUNDRED
THIRTY SEVEN DOLLARS IS REAL
TIME NUMBERS AND THOSE OTHERS
NUMBER IS A REAL DOES NOT
NUMBERS ARE PRICE ABOUT TWELVE
MONTHS AGO. OKAY SO THIS. WOULD
BE A OTHER PROJECT A LOWER
DENSITY PROJECT WE HAVE IS TWO
HUNDRED THIRTY SEVEN. DOLLARS
PER SQUARE FOOT THE PROJECT IN-
INSECT WHERE A PROJECT IN
SACRAMENTO THAT'S AFFORDABLE
HOUSING PROJECT THREE HUNDRED
TWENTY EIGHT DOLLARS PER SQUARE
FOOT. SO EVEN SACRAMENTO WHICH
HAS LOWER CONSTRUCTION COSTS IN
THE BAY AREA. THE COSTS ARE
ENORMOUS. COM SOME OF THE SOME
OF THOSE COSTS OR ARE. SOME OF
THOSE COSTS ARE- SEISMIC AND CAN
UP CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT THAT.
BUT THE VAST MAJORITY OF THAT
COST IS LABOR FOR SURE- SO. I
ASKED MY TEAM TO START WITH TO
FIND OUT WHAT THE PREVAILING
WAGE RATES WERE AND- WHAT THE
WHAT THE MARKET RATE WORKS
BECAUSE PREVAILING WAGES ABOVE
MARKET IT'S WAY WAY WAY ABOVE
MARKET OKAY. BUT JUST SO WE'RE
ALL CLEAR NOW AND OBVIOUSLY WAY
BUTTON IS LIKE A SUPER HIGH FOR
MINIMUM WAGE I'M SURE WE ALL
KNOW- SO IN- IN COLORADO WOULD
TRICK WE PAY OUR WOOD FRAMERS
ARE FOR RESTRAINT THE GUYS
SHOWING HAMMERS. WE PAY THEM
EIGHTY FIVE TO NINETY THOUSAND
DOLLARS PER YEAR THAT'S FORTY TO
FORTY DOLLARS EACH FORTY DOLLARS
AN HOUR. WHICH TRANSLATES. TO
EIGHTY FIVE NINETY THOUSAND
DOLLARS YOU'RE NOT ABOUT LIVING.
AND AND- DOWN IN THE SOUTH BEND.
THE SAME GUYS MAKE A HUNDRED AND
TEN AND TWO HUNDRED TWENTY
THOUSAND DOLLARS PER YEAR- AND-
THAT THAT INFORMATION IS ALIGNED
WITH THE- PREVAILING WAGE
INFORMATION GUY WHICH WHICH
SHOWS. SOME OF THESE MARKET RATE
MARKET RATE AT A HUNDRED AND
FIFTEEN THOUSAND- THE PREVAILING
WAGE RATES. ARE EIGHTY SIX
DOLLARS AN HOUR ONE HUNDRED AND
SEVENTY THOUSAND DOLLARS. SO IF
YOU'RE FOR US DOING MARKET RATE
WE'VE ALL WE'RE ALREADY PAYING A
FORTUNE TO LAND. QUESTIONS JUST.
JUST INSISTED IT'S A NO GO I
DON'T KNOW I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY
I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY ON HIGH
RISES BEING BUILT WITH
PREVAILING WAGE CARPENTRY-
BECAUSE- THAT AND- THAT THAT IS
NOT A TRIVIAL PRICE I THINK IT
WOULD TRANSLATE. INTO THE TWENTY
MILLION RANGE OF ADDITIONAL COST
SOMETHING LIKE THAT. SO REALLY
IS YOU CAN SO WILL WE TALK ABOUT
WHY. IS NOT BUILT ONE MORE
HOUSING IS NOT BUILT. THAT IS A
CHIEF CULPRIT IT'S NOT THE ONLY
CULPRIT BUT IT'S A MAJOR
CORPORATE AND IT'S A SOLVABLE
CULTURE- CORPORATE. SO- SB
THIRTY FIVE IS. SO CLOSE TO
BEING SUCH A GREAT LAW AND- AND
I JUST WANT TO CONCUR WITH. AND
ON THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING HOW-
HOW MUCH IT HELPS AND- BUT- BUT
FOR MARKET RATE HOUSING FOR THE
REASONS YOU JUST DESCRIBE IT
DOES NOT HELP BECAUSE HE MUST
PAY PREVAILING WAGE- BUT IF.
THAT ONE PROVISION WAS STRUCK
THE PREVAILING WAGE REQUIREMENTS
AND I KNOW THAT THE NEW LAW
THERE'S DISTRICTS. RESERVE
CONVERSATIONS ABOUT BUILDING
SKILLED. AND TRAINED WORKFORCE
WHICH IS- YOU CAN PASS LAW THAT
THE YOU'RE GOING TO REDUCE THE
NUMBER NOT HOUSING BILLS FOR
SURE NO QUESTION. BUT IF YOU
SIMPLY SB THIRTY FIVE AND
REWRITE SB THIRTY FIVE CHIU
ELIMINATE THE PREVAILING WAGE
REQUIREMENTS THAT BRINGS MARKET
RATE HOUSING IN THE- PLAY. AND
NOW YOU'RE REALLY GETTING
SUPPLY- SO THAT'S ONE TOOL SB
THIRTY FIVE IN SB THREE THIRTY
AND ALL THESE ARE REALLY
DOUBLING AROUND THE EDGES. I
MEAN IF WE'RE GOING TO BE JUST
LEVEL WITH EACH OTHER- WHAT WE
WOULD DO WHAT I WOULD RECOMMEND
THAT YOU REALLY WANT TO SEE
HOUSING BUILT. ON THE GROUND
WHEN YOU COMPARE MUCH HOUSING
BUT THE BAY AREA CREDITS YOU
NEXT TWENTY SEVEN THOUSAND
UNITS. DENVER TWENTY FIVE
DOLLARS ARE MULTI UNITS OKAY
THEY'RE NOT EVEN COUNT THE
SINGLE FAMILY. SO THEY'RE
GETTING SERIOUS SERIOUS
PRODUCTION THEY DON'T HAVE
SPEAKER. WE DON'T HAVE
PREVAILING WAGE REQUIREMENTS AND
EVERYTHING IS BUILT. THE LABOR
SECRETARY. ENVIRONMENTS
PROTECTED EVERYTHING'S WORKING
RIGHT OKAY- BUT THAT'S A REALLY
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WHAT I'M
SEEING IN THOSE MARKETS AND WHAT
I'M SEEING. IN THE CALIFORNIA
MARKET SYSTEM BEARS. SPECIALLY A
. POLITICS BUT I WOULD ELIMINATE
THE PREVAILING WAGE
REQUIREMENTS- I WOULD WELCOME A
DEBATE- WITH REPRESENTATIVES AND
LABOR ON THAT- AND THEN THE
OTHER THING OF COURSE. IS AND
SENATOR PER WINNER WAS WAS
REFERRING TO IT I THOUGHT
INSERTED IN A CERTAIN WAY THAT-
SEQUOIA HAS BEEN- CORRUPTED. I
MEAN THAT SWIRLED AROUND THE
TRACK WE DON'T KNOW IT- AND I
WOULD RECOMMEND WE JUST SIMPLY
EXEMPT ALL UNTIL HOUSING- FROM
CHICO. AND I APPRECIATED MEMBERS
WERE IS KIND THIS FRANCISCO.
CONICAL ROOFS KIND OF. YOU KNOW
WAY ALLUDING TO THE PAULA OF- OF
WHAT WE'RE DEALING WITH HERE.
BUT IF WE REALLY WANT TO GET OUT
THIS- THOSE TWO THINGS WILL
CHANGE THE FACE OF HOUSING
CALIFORNIA. AND THEN YOU REALLY
SEE PRODUCTION BUILD AND THE
BEST PART IS IT DOES NOT COST
THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA ANYTHING
IT DOES NOT DO NOT NEED PROVIDE.
A PRECISE HOUSING FOR BELOW
MARKET RATES GRADING OKAY YOU
KNOW WHAT. FOR BUT FOR A-
GETTING YOU KNOW REAL AND CERES
PRODUCTION OF THE MOST
ATTRACTION ISN'T GOING TO BE
MARKET RATE HOUSING- DOESN'T
WITH GRASP. TIME WE CAN GET IT
DONE. SO THAT'S WHAT I WANT TO
SAY IN A MICROSECOND HAPPY TO-
ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS I'M SURE
YOU'VE HEARD OF THIS BEFORE FROM
FROM BUILDERS BUT- YEAH MY DUTY
TO KINDA. OFFER MY THOUGHTS AND
PERHAPS AFTER ANY. THANK YOU- I
KNOW BURNING THE PANEL HERE P.
ALL THE PANELISTS OFF- THERE EXT
- JUST REALLY JUST TO ONE I
WANNA UNDER AND SAID ABOUT THE
ONGOING NEED FOR AFFORDABLE
HOUSING- AND I SEE YOU AND I
HEAR YOU- AND ALL OF YOU AROUND
THE NEED FOR THAT AND I AM
COMMITTED TO THAT I KNOW SENATOR
WIENER IS AS WELL AS ARE MANY OF
US AND I THINK IT'S THAT BIG- I.
THINK THAT WE NEED TO TACKLE
NEXT- AND I AM PERSONALLY
WORKING ON THAT OVER THE NEXT
COUPLE OF YEARS AND I'M
COMMITTED TO FIGURING OUT SOME
SORT OF ONGOING FUNDING FOR
AFFORDABLE HOUSING. THAT MATCHES
THE CRISIS THAT WE'RE IN- AND SO
WE'LL HAVE MORE CONVERSATIONS ON
THAT BUT- THAT'S REALLY CRITICAL
AND THEN- RESPECTFULLY- I WANTED
TO JUST DISAGREE WITH THE LAST
PANELISTS I THINK- THAT. IN
TERMS OF HOW THE CONVERSATION
WAS LAID OUT IF YOU LOOK AT A
BILL LIKE AB TWENTY ELEVEN- YES
THERE ARE PREVAILING WAGE-
COMPONENTS IN IT. WHICH WE THINK
ARE REALLY IMPORTANT BUT THIS IS
ALSO A BILL THAT WAS SUPPORTED
BY THE FEDERAL HOUSING
DEVELOPERS. AS WELL AS THE
CARPENTERS UNION OTHERS WHICH WE
SOUGHT TO STRIKE A BALANCE TO
ENSURE THAT- WE CAN PROVIDE SUCH
WAGES BECAUSE WE THINK THERE'S A
REALLY IMPORTANT IMPORTANT TO
GROW OUR WORKFORCE IT'S
IMPORTANT TO HAVE THE WAIT STAFF
PROTECTIONS- THE- HEALTH CARE
COMPONENT THE APPRENTICESHIP
REQUIREMENT. AT CENTER SO WE CAN
BUILD THE WORKFORCE THAT WE NEED
TO- AND WE BELIEVE THAT THAT BY
PROVIDING- THE SIMPLE
STREAMLINING IN THE MINISTERIAL
APPROVAL THAT STREAMLINING
PROCESS WILL THEN ALLOW
DEVELOPERS TO THEN- ENSURE THAT.
THEY'RE PAYING THEIR WORKERS
WHAT WE BELIEVE THEY SHOULD BE
BECAUSE WE DO THINK- THIS IS AN
HONORABLE PROFESSION ONE THAT
NEEDS TO BE- THAT PAID
ACCORDINGLY AND WE ALSO KNOW
THAT THERE ARE WAGE THEFT ISSUES
THAT EXIST. WITHIN THIS INDUSTRY
WANT TO SEEK TO ENSURE THAT
WE'RE PROTECTING THOSE WORKERS
AND SO- OUR HOPE IS THAT TWENTY
ELEVEN STRIKES THAT BALANCE- AND
AS SOMEONE WHO'S A BIG SUPPORTER
PREVAILING WAGE AND- THE LABOR
MOVEMENT BUT ALSO SOMEONE WHO IS
A BIG HOUSING PRODUCTION PERSON.
OUR GOAL IS TO BE ABLE TO ENSURE
THAT WE. DO BOTH OF THOSE THINGS
SO I JUST WANTED TO- PROVIDE
SOME. ON THE- THREE FIVE THANK
YOU- RIGHT TO HAVE A QUESTION I
WROTE. THE ROAD SYSTEM. YEAH
OKAY- SO- IT LOOKS LIKE WE'RE
DOWN TO THE CHAIRS RIGHT NOW- I
DON'T HAVE ANY- ADDITIONAL
QUESTIONS OF THIS VERY
APPRECIATIVE OF- EVERYONE- TO
SPEEDING AND I ALSO APPRECIATIVE
OF THE RECOGNITION OF THE- THE
SEA CHANGE OF. IN TERMS OF STATE
HOUSING LAW OVER THE LAST FEW
YEARS AND WHAT THAT HAS MEANT
AND WE'RE- DEFINITELY NOT GONNA
MAKE EVERYONE HAPPY IS ALWAYS
GOING TO BE SOME PUSH AND PULL
AND GIVE AND TAKE- IT'S-
IMPORTANT IN LEGISLATION FOR ALL
MAJOR PARTICIPANTS TO BE.
FLEXIBLE AND WILLING TO HAVE
THOSE CONVERSATIONS AND NOT SAY
MY WAY OR THE HIGHWAY- MY WAY OR
THE HIGHWAY- DOESN'T- USUALLY
WORKED OUT VERY WELL DOESN'T
LEAD TO PRODUCTIVE DIALOGUE- SO
WE TRIED- YOU KNOW COME UP WITH
THE BEST. LAWS THAT WE CAN- AND-
YOU KNOW IT'S ALWAYS AN ONGOING
CONVERSATION SO I THANK YOU TO
OUR- FINAL PANELISTS- FOR YOUR
INSIGHTS- AND TO ALL THE
PANELISTS TODAY. AND WITHOUT
REAL- OPEN UP- FOR PUBLIC
COMMENTS FIRST AND BECAUSE THIS
IS NOT A BILL HEARING WHERE WE
ASK PEOPLE JUST TO SAY WHETHER
THEY SUPPORT OR OPPOSE. HOUSES
ASK PUBLIC COMMENTERS TO JUST
MAKE A IF YOU STATE YOUR NAME
