Dear Assemblymember,
We, the undersigned, believe that the California Assembly must not pass AB 1063.
California has a state-wide housing shortage of 3.5 million homes. Low- and middle-income households face historic rent burdens in California, and the problem worsens by the day. To quell California’s mounting affordable housing crisis, local governments must allow low-income housing to be built in addition to ADUs and low-income housing subsidies.
Letting affluent, anti-housing cities like Newport Beach write their own rules about affordable housing is letting the fox guard the hen house. AB 1063 wrongly assumes that new ADUs will be occupied by low-income tenants, when that is not always the case.
Assembly Bill 1063 would let local governments skirt their responsibility to build enough low-income housing for their workers and families who need it. The State Legislature has shown it still lacks the courage to solve our state’s monumental housing crisis. The least they could do is refrain from making the shortage worse.
Sincerely,
