SACRAMENTO After more than two years of debate, five major revisions and two tense days of counting votes, a high-profile legislative effort to dramatically increase home building across California is officially dead.
Senate Bill 50 was an effort to undo Californias decades-long reliance on single-family housing and suburban sprawl stretching inland by spurring a development boom near transit and job centers. But arguments that the legislation would help reduce the housing shortage at the root of the states affordability problems and reduce greenhouse gas emissions from cars met resistance from those who believed the measure took too much power away from local governments and failed to sufficiently address low-income housing needs.
And this week, for the third year in a row, California state senators rejected the measure.

My home state bends over backwards for NIMBYs yet again. For anyone still in CA, you can probably kiss any thought of home ownership goodbye already unless you make oodles of money, then you're probably fine.
