After weeks of waiting, California’s governor signed a bill that will allow mid-rise apartment buildings near major transit stops in California’s biggest metro areas.
This is hopefully going to be great, preventing the NIMBY’s from stopping higher-density housing focused near public transit. I am in a Sacramento suburb and there’s huge empty lots right near the bus lines near the freeway; if those can become high-density housing for people that can have less reliance on cars, it’d be huge for this area. Even a small % nudge would be beneficial.
