Newsom signs housing bill package to turn up the heat' on development-averse cities
Briefly

Gov. Gavin Newsom's housing bill package aims to combat local development resistance, introducing measures to streamline housing approvals and impose fines on non-compliant cities.
Among the new laws, SB 1037 allows state officials to fine cities for not approving housing developments, which is aimed at cities resistant to the state’s housing agenda.
The builder's remedy will force cities to accept oversized housing proposals if they fail to secure state approval for their housing plans every eight years.
New interim housing regulations under SB 1395 prioritize personal privacy for homelessness solutions by allowing the creation of individual rooms in shelters, moving away from traditional dorm settings.
