FE-7: YIMBY Act

[pikachu]

Many cities in Fremont suffer from extremely high housing costs, placing a significant burden on working and middle class families. Much of this comes from a lack of supply in housing markets, which is exacerbated by local groups in cities which try to restrict development, despite local laws allowing it. This bill tries to speed up development in areas where local laws and regulations would allow it, while also ensuring the construction of affordable housing.

Just want to bump this to the top of the page.

Just want to comment that I'm ambivalent on the amendment.

I'm not sure if I'm going to end up signing this if it's only passed by one person. I'll contact Griffin and rpryor, but I'd really like some clause that incentivizes more development around public transportation.

I like it, but how are we going to pay for this?

This more of a regulation change than a spending initiative.
