California Unusual
n50 years of continuous growth - 10 million every
generation.
nThe nation’s
most progressive housing requirements matched against the nation’s most complicated, costly,
and risky entitlement process. Guess which wins?
nExtraordinarily costly development inputs. Business of housing production dominated by large, innovation-averse
builders.
nHomeownership is an essential part of the California
dream, yet state homeownership rate is 10%
below national average.
nStill plenty of appropriate land for housing
construction (infill & greenfield) yet
paralyzed by sprawl fears.
