My plan is to focus primarily on recent current policies, especially extremely recent bills passed that I have heard from housing advocacy organizations. Although the article is updated to 2021 and 2022, there are still some major bills that push through interesting new changes, such as SB 886 and SB 423.

Just wanted to take a temperature check on the "Homeless-industrial complex" section. I'm not sure if a section effectively written in reference to one column really merits inclusion here? KyaniteAl2SiO5 (talk) 16:04, 14 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I concur that as it stands, that section seems to violate

WP:UNDUE. However, if it were to be corroborated by quotations from two or three other similar sources, it could be the basis of a "Criticism of housing policy" section. --Coolcaesar (talk) 17:30, 14 January 2025 (UTC)[reply

It had been ended or atleast theoretically been ended in California. Should that be included with reliable sources and could someone do it? I have updated other parts of the article in some aspects. Theofunny (talk) 23:40, 17 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It is already mentioned (though not explicitly as "ended SFZ") in the 2021 legislative session section: California HOME Act: "The California HOME Act (SB 9) upzones most of California to allow building denser housing, up to a fourplex, on a lot." I guess that we could state that in the lead? ---Avatar317^(talk) 01:20, 18 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yes but again there was a court injunction for 4 charter cities. Theofunny (talk) 08:49, 18 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I think the Smart Cities "0%" Study was union backed but I can't find it in the source article. Theofunny (talk) 09:04, 18 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
