Eviction Moratorium to June 30

February 1, 2021

With days to spare before a statewide eviction moratorium was set to expire, Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a law extending the ban until June 30, 2021, impacting millions of Californians faced with economic hardships brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic. The Judicial Council anticipates 240,000 evictions filings this year, double the amount from 2019-2020, “given the […]

Is Real Estate Key to High Stakes Battle Over CA?

August 17, 2020

It looked like California might be turning a corner in the coronavirus recession, as unemployment leveled off at a jarring 16.3%, and thousands of waiters, bartenders and hair stylists were going back to work. Then came the surge in infections, and with it a new wave of business closures. Now a high-stakes battle is raging […]

5 Takeaways: What Rent Hike Law Means for Real Estate

September 16, 2019

 State legislators passed AB 1482, a bill from Assemblyman David Chiu (D-San Francisco), which limits annual rent increases to 5% plus the rate of inflation (typically 2%-3%). Modeled after a first-in-the-nation Oregon measure adopted earlier this year, the bill also requires landlords to provide a “just cause” for evicting tenants and, in some circumstances, pay for […]

CA Deal Could Provide Money for Homeless

As California contends with dramatic increases in its homeless population, Gov. Gavin Newsom and legislative leaders agreed to send hundreds of millions of dollars to local governments to help address the problem while also cajoling cities and counties to allow more housing development.

Politics Getting in the Way of Housing Legislation

July 8, 2019

In the first half of 2019, members of the California Legislature introduced roughly 200 bills that addressed the state’s worsening housing crisis. By the end of May, most of them had been nixed by the Byzantine nature of California politics. So why can’t California pass real housing reform? Among members of the Bay Area caucus, […]

CCRE: CA Missing the Mark

March 18, 2019

There is no question that California’s Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) process has failed to live up to its stated purpose, as most jurisdictions have continued to fail to meet their housing goals and those that do perform well often do so because there’s a relatively low bar of success. While the housing legislation package of 2017 may help […]

Gov. Newsom Proposes ‘Data Dividend’ for CA Residents

February 25, 2019

My personal data is certainly worth as much as a downpayment on a home. And if so, Gov. Gavin Newsom’s proposal that big tech companies pay a dividend to residents could, in theory, help me get one step closer to the American dream.  The governor sees a “data dividend” as a way to address a widening […]

Gov. Newsom Emphasizes Housing in Proposed Budget
