    State law will put more housing near transit stops. This SoCal map finally shows where

    A new California state law (SB 79) effective July 1 requires cities to increase housing near transit stops. The Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) has published a map detailing allowed housing density, with 'Tier 1' zones near subway stops permitting up to nine-story buildings and 'Tier 2' zones near light rail or bus stops allowing up to eight-story buildings. Political opposition has emerged, particularly in Los Angeles, with debates over housing in single-family zones.
