- Their town burned to the ground. Should they get a pass from California’s new housing laws?
A bill (SB 1090) seeks to exempt Altadena, California, from two housing laws (SB 9 and SB 1123) to allow fire survivors to rebuild without developer interference. Supporters argue it protects homeowners, while critics warn it may hinder rebuilding efforts by limiting housing options.
- Bill Would Pause Density Laws in Fire-Scarred Altadena
State Sen. Sasha Renée Pérez introduced amendments to SB 1090, a bill that would temporarily block California’s housing density laws (Senate Bills 9 and 1123) in fire-affected Altadena ZIP codes 91001 and 91003 for five years. The proposal aims to address real estate speculation following the Eaton Fire.
