CT beating CA to ending parking requirements was not on my bingo card. Kudos to @rpa.org and the rest of the folks involved. bsky.app/profile/danb...

Last night, we filed our appellate brief regarding our case against La Cañada Flintridge. This could lead to the first statewide precedent on California’s builder’s remedy, a law that allows developers to ignore local zoning if a city fails to produce a compliant housing plan. 1/16

Letter to Mountain View, CA re 5x Builder's Remedy projects (2,740 units, 20% affordable). The City cannot charge these projects park fees ($70k+ per unit), which are an unconstitutional taking and inapplicable under the HAA. drive.google.com/file/d/1Q47r...
