Too little, too late, @GavinNewsom. Should have stepped up to prevent this from happening rather than saying you're disappointed afterwards.
Statement by Gov. @GavinNewsom on the demise of #SB50. He’s disappointed

The segregationists won. Californians earning less than $250k/year lost. Environmentalists lost. Unclear whether our current system of democracy is capable of addressing the problems facing the US and California.

Holy shit. #SB50 appears to be held for the year.

How many organizations sent you email alerts today to call California state senators in support of SB50?

Your proposal that affordable housing goal be % of housing stock sounds great. I'm more skeptical of uniform housing growth target: * to prefer infill over sprawl for the environment * there's more demand (stronger economy) in some areas * want to reverse historic segregation

There were a bunch of bills passed last year that made what I've heard described as major changes to the RHNA process. But I don't know what they add up to.

It's somebody who is *already* a professor for other reasons taking on an additional role (in exchange for nice on-campus housing).
Not currently; I'd need to figure out how to convert them.

The constraint that still needs to be satisfied is that the user shouldn't need to scroll in the inline direction for *each line of text*. A particular block of text should be readable with block-direction scrolling only.

Though I guess you were asking specifically about the viability of tear down and rebuild, and not the whole provision.
What about retrofit of existing houses built out to basically that size already?

oops, actually 2550ft², not 2700², since there's a sliding scale.
In Palo Alto, I think it would be pretty viable. R-1 minimum lot size is 6000 ft², max FAR 0.45:1, so a minimum *conformant* lot would allow 2700 ft² of floor area, which is reasonably dividable. I think the biggest deal with the fourplex part is the ministerial approval.

Don't skip <basefont>. In some browsers it was a container and </basefont> reverted its effects... :-/
