They aren’t building out their building up. There are those in power that don’t seem to want better living conditions even though California has plenty of land to use for new homes.
A great idea would be teleworking communities… small to medium subdivisions that would be affordable for those willing to telework/ retired/ commute part time/ or online business owners.
We will know when sufficient supply of housing has been built when a minimum wage full time worker can afford to buy a home near his or her workplace for 25% to 33% of his or her net monthly income, and he or she has ten choices of such homes to choose from. Until that day arrives we should keep building homes. It might help to not make this California worker compete economically with all of the wealthiest of the eight billion or so foreign nationals on the globe to buy that home.
The biggest divide in California isn't between Republicans and Democrats, it's between NIMBYs and YIMBYs. It's a very emotional issue in San Mateo, where I live. In the recent election the voters passed Measure T, which increases the height and density limit near downtown and the three Caltrain stations. California's single biggest problem is a severe housing shortage. Forget "affordable housing". Just allow more housing to be built. The market will make this housing affordable by increasing supply.
@@tomtaber1102 I used to be YIMBY before I left that group and realized neither YIMBY or NIMBY have a viable approach. YIMBY only pushes luxury housing developments that only create a supply in housing at the high end that never trickles down to the middle or lower end as those in the market for middle and low cannot afford luxury apartments/condos. Take the issue here in San Diego where the increase in high end developments brought down rents in more affluent zip codes, but rents in disadvantaged communities went up. How can that be? Because unless you actually build in the middle and low end higher end housing does not meet the needs of those struggling and looking for affordability. YIMBY can only pay themselves on the back for creating affordable housing for the rich while everyone else is left fighting for the few scraps of affordability left.
@ California should allow more condos, small single family developments and starter homes, duplexes, triplexes, fourplexes, dingbat buildings etc. California makes it difficult with zoning laws, and regulations to build these types of housing. California socialists want tower block apartments…no ownership, no monetary equity…no upward mobility as a result.
Yeah I don’t want to see Cali turn into NYC …. No thanks! We love our nature, our parties and our pace of life. This isnt the East Coast (and we love it).
@@ivandragomiloff2356 You do realize the more condos and single family developments you build, the worse traffic will be right? Denser apartments around metropolitan areas are the only way to make public transportation more viable and reduce traffic on the road.
It’s amazing how much more cost efficient just a little bit of density can be. Build more apartments with businesses on the first floor please! Everyone wins and you don’t have to waste space with ugly parking lots!
boohoo there is too may cars welcome 21 st century in U.S if we made cali like east coast aka more walkable friendly neighborghoods aka more density with mix use buisness and aprtments and taxes the city can collect from each individual unit to update and sustain infatsructure. Suburbs are not sustainable economically on long run the wealthy who can afford to own homes aka " modern land lords" fuedal era midset are the minorty, majority is not wealthy and majority rules in a REAL democracy not a bought one like we see now with wealthy donating to get their kids into wealthy schools aka cheating and donating to get politicans to listen and side with wealthy minority and ignore the not wealthy majority. The world dose not t revolve around your inconvenience some folks just want somewhere they afford to sleep and work. Your compaling about parking while some folkz dont cant afford a car you complaining about parking while some cant even afford to rent a place of their own and can only afford to rent rooms. You sound like every other NIMBY snob completely detahced from the real world.
@@JakeAoTK too much government we already pay taxes for these PUBLIC streets they belong to public not homeowners. yall answer to evrythingis more government instead of just realizing the house for two people is not sustainabke economicially to much space is taken for too little people some people have house and live by themselves everyone cant have that is not effecient use of space especially when it becomes more and more limited that way of thinking worked in 50s but not with this inflation and poppulation growth plus sububrs are eye sores and souless and dont promote community and healthy walking since everthing is so spread out bc of suburbs
@@JakeAoTK, that could work IF people don’t have a car. If there’s 10 units in a condo building, and only 1/2 have cars, who gets the permits? The streets may not even be that wide to accommodate them.
Also, taxes are so high cost of living is high where you’re running small business out of business you see a lot of empty buildings business that went out of business people are leaving the state to move to other states what happened to the $20 million or was it $20 billion, nobody knows where it went another one. . Another you have way too many restrictions in building or adding onto your home takes you two years just to add a room onto your house give me a freaking break . Also heard that Gavin Newsom just bought him a $9 million mansion on the coast
It’s not the taxes. The commercial rents are just way too high. When rent goes from $3k month to $10k a month you have to make an additional $7k month just to make up the difference and you need to hope and pray customers are willing to pay. I’ve opened and managed like 6 different businesses, but I’ll give you one example. We’ve had to increase prices from $12 a meal to $17 just due to rent costs. It’s insane how housing in a similar area can cost $2.5k for 1400 sq fr, but that same space (commercial) costs $10k and you have to furnish and build out the space yourself. There are cities I can go to where commercial space is plentiful and guess what. More small businesses exist, food is cheaper, and overall there is more competition.
@@RandomRabbit007 In San Jose, the mountains surrounds the city. There’s no where else to build suburbs. Even then tall apartment blocks are hard to build because lack of available land. The city can build tall apartment blocks all they want but theres a limit to that eventually. The real question is Overcrowding- natural births, in-migration from other states and international migration (business, students, other legal) and unauthorized migration (illegal).

28:00 the incentive is what you signed up for, which has been manipulated and distortioned for financial and egotistical gain of those in duty to oversee the sustainability of the communities. Not one politician should be thriving financially, it should be unlawful for them to obtain any gain whatsoever from their position. They should be like self sacrificing monks, nuns, attired in uniform like any other employee, because that's what they are, employees of the incorporated municipality that essentially and literally works for the community. But they seem to feel it's the other way around
I enjoyed hearing some of your ideas and perspective. Communities are changing. It will be interesting to see how Huntington Beach does in their fight against SB330.
Ok so um. I've seen a lot of warehouse development in the IE. Particularly in uncorporated areas. The neighboring cities have brought of home owners and taken their houses. Dismantled them to later build warehouses. None of this constitution is affordable housing. They're working backwards, no. Get rid of houses to build warehouses. I don't get it. And you know the people whose homes were bough off did not get a fair market value. Houses are so expensive now a days and let's not mention the higher property taxes they would be paying in their new house. I swear, theyre working backwars.
If we are so short housing why do people move here all the time with no place to live. As a landlord I hear quite some stories and often they just got here with desperation in their voice. Sometimes I just want to point blank ask why they lived here. Some volunteer some interesting stories.
After WW2, many eastern cities did this, mainly for Americans who were raised on farms, and relocated to the cities during & after the war. It worked ok until politicians started filling these places with "unsuccessful" people who were bused from the rural South , and other places. Then they turned themselves into jungles. What will happen when we do this, and then allow them to be filled with those who refuse to inconvenience themselves, in order hold a job, wash their own faces and ensure that their children do well in school?
Bye-bye American dream about owning house with garage for 2 cars… It’s insane what happens with housing market in the richest country in the world in the one of richest state in the country…
call it the cali dream old america aka original america is the east coast all high density gorgeous walkable neigborhoods all with people who own condos and apartment from economic stand point suburbs arent sustaibale dont produce enough taxes in boston the size of house in cali would have a quadplex in its place each individually owned each individually producing taxes for city which means more money made for city on same amount of space so it means more the city to spend on sustaing and updating infastrcuture this coming from a cali native who grew up in suburb. Surburbs are where the soul goes to die high density neighborhoods promote walking and sense of communty susburbs promote driving and seperation
In my part of California, they are building apartments where there were businesses. They are shutting down Job and replacing them with apartments, and number 2. California population has flat-line, and this guy said that the population is going up, and the announcer said it had flatlined or going down, and Michale Posey didn't know that. We are on the way to becoming China with all those empty apartments.
Diminishing the American Dream and beautiful suburban neighborhoods with high density zoning. California is a large state and has vast undeveloped land. Why settle for one size fits all high density blight of the future?
cuz suburbs dont work in long run economically its why so many suburbs struggle to update their infastrcture not enough taxes can be generated with one house as appose to having a quadplex each producing taxes individually on same size of land look it up not making this up places like boston with high dentsity and walkable neighborhoods work better are more astetically pleasing and more healthy society that walks and uses public tranportation be it they make it more safe. California is just a massive suburb filled with massive parking lots and outlets and wide seperated roads nothing that looks beuitful to the eye. Cali looks like a wealthy suburban person utopia of isolation doesnt promote community just seperation. SF is good example of what a beutiful walkable city looks like sadly is poorly managed and run this coming from a cali native. Suburbs destroy the soul is where the spirirt goes to die evryone drives everywhere aka isolated from others becuase we dont make walkable places with high density and mix use aka comercial spces mixed with housing like on east coast you can walk down one dense street and have cofe shop , small grocery store , and small resturant all within walking distance which you could make converstaion with folks as your walking where as in cali you have drive everywhere because evrthing is far away and driving isolates from society you wont meet someone new while driving spark a conversation. If it wasnt for the wonderfull variety to acces to nature and beaches we have in cali would look like a miserblae place arizona looks like cali in alot ways just without nature and beach and man do those neighborhoods look surbubn boring and miserable
Gavin seems to greatly admire CCP govt & want badly to institute one in California. That govt sys would be great for him as no one would be able to challenge him and he'll have absolute power, but awful for the rest of the state population. Hope the mass will see it and bring Calif back to the main country and the founding principles that created this nation.
Next he'll have the density so high we won't have enough utilities or parking or sewer or water or electrical and they will start enforcing pay by the mile tax for people that own gas powered vehicles
high density produces more taxes if they own each individual unit which means more means to update and sustain infastructure the reason we have such old infastrcure is becuse most cities are sububrs and sububrs in long run dont produce enough taxes to keep up with continual maintinence of a city look it up it known issue yet we continue to build miserable soul killing sububrbs. Places like boston dont strugle to maintain their infastrcuture becuse they have high density neighboorhoods that look gorguous and are very walkable with great transportaion system all which prmote healthier people who like to walk becuse verythig is always within walking distnace and promotes community becuse you socialize more in city where everyone walks as appose to driving isolating themselves from the world like sububrs do
This big companies needs to build their own apartments. To house their employees. A lot of them employees are out of state. Local are benefiting from it.
What about encouraging small businesses throughout the state-remove regulations and decrease taxes. Rezone some land so we can move outward. Better homes could be built. It’s not moral to allow business monopolies and force people to live in apartments. Human beings need a decent size house and land to thrive. Why can’t we do this?
They would have to put me in a cattle car and ship me to one of these dystopian nightmare cities. I have no desire to live in any city or suburb at all.
You also still have to expand the freeways to allow people to go out of town for the weekend as well as evacuate in the case of a disaster. Talk about short term planning.
Why can't those jobs move more inland if they can't get their work force, or is that just against the city's business interest. Not really helping if that is the case.
If you make cities walkable and build out great public transit (like most of the great cities of the world do) then everyone can comfortably get around and you don’t have to worry about expanding existing roadways.

Judge Dredd Mega-City One
In my part of California, they are building apartments where there were businesses. They are shutting down Job and replacing them with apartments, and number 2. California population has flat-line, and this guy said that the population is going up, and the announcer said it had flatlined or going down, and Michale Posey didn't know that. We are on the way to becoming China with all those empty apartments.
More affordable housing/apartment
Good article.
Diminishing the American Dream and beautiful suburban neighborhoods with high density zoning. California is a large state and has vast undeveloped land. Why settle for one size fits all high density blight of the future?
cuz suburbs dont work in long run economically its why so many suburbs struggle to update their infastrcture not enough taxes can be generated with one house as appose to having a quadplex each producing taxes individually on same size of land look it up not making this up places like boston with high dentsity and walkable neighborhoods work better are more astetically pleasing and more healthy society that walks and uses public tranportation be it they make it more safe. California is just a massive suburb filled with massive parking lots and outlets and wide seperated roads nothing that looks beuitful to the eye. Cali looks like a wealthy suburban person utopia of isolation doesnt promote community just seperation. SF is good example of what a beutiful walkable city looks like sadly is poorly managed and run this coming from a cali native. Suburbs destroy the soul is where the spirirt goes to die evryone drives everywhere aka isolated from others becuase we dont make walkable places with high density and mix use aka comercial spces mixed with housing like on east coast you can walk down one dense street and have cofe shop , small grocery store , and small resturant all within walking distance which you could make converstaion with folks as your walking where as in cali you have drive everywhere because evrthing is far away and driving isolates from society you wont meet someone new while driving spark a conversation. If it wasnt for the wonderfull variety to acces to nature and beaches we have in cali would look like a miserblae place arizona looks like cali in alot ways just without nature and beach and man do those neighborhoods look surbubn boring and miserable
Not all land in CA is the same. Coastal areas are scarce.
I WANT NEW & I WANT IT NOW!
I want OLD & I WANT A TIME MACHINE, NOW......😂😂
Gavin seems to greatly admire CCP govt & want badly to institute one in California. That govt sys would be great for him as no one would be able to challenge him and he'll have absolute power, but awful for the rest of the state population. Hope the mass will see it and bring Calif back to the main country and the founding principles that created this nation.
Next he'll have the density so high we won't have enough utilities or parking or sewer or water or electrical and they will start enforcing pay by the mile tax for people that own gas powered vehicles
high density produces more taxes if they own each individual unit which means more means to update and sustain infastructure the reason we have such old infastrcure is becuse most cities are sububrs and sububrs in long run dont produce enough taxes to keep up with continual maintinence of a city look it up it known issue yet we continue to build miserable soul killing sububrbs. Places like boston dont strugle to maintain their infastrcuture becuse they have high density neighboorhoods that look gorguous and are very walkable with great transportaion system all which prmote healthier people who like to walk becuse verythig is always within walking distnace and promotes community becuse you socialize more in city where everyone walks as appose to driving isolating themselves from the world like sububrs do
What part of walk 5 minutes to get groceries don't you understand? Don't need a car or parking
You realize cities didn’t just magically have infrastructure from day 1 right? You build it out. 💀
This big companies needs to build their own apartments. To house their employees. A lot of them employees are out of state. Local are benefiting from it.
What about encouraging small businesses throughout the state-remove regulations and decrease taxes. Rezone some land so we can move outward. Better homes could be built. It’s not moral to allow business monopolies and force people to live in apartments. Human beings need a decent size house and land to thrive. Why can’t we do this?
They would have to put me in a cattle car and ship me to one of these dystopian nightmare cities.
I have no desire to live in any city or suburb at all.
Then you want density. That way people don't come turn your neck of the woods into another Target.
@southend26 ...I don't care how they live, just leave the rest of us alone.
So wait, how are people really expecting to get around, now you have to expand roadway's as well
You also still have to expand the freeways to allow people to go out of town for the weekend as well as evacuate in the case of a disaster. Talk about short term planning.
Why can't those jobs move more inland if they can't get their work force, or is that just against the city's business interest. Not really helping if that is the case.
If you make cities walkable and build out great public transit (like most of the great cities of the world do) then everyone can comfortably get around and you don’t have to worry about expanding existing roadways.
Thank u for the Great reporting
