Housing Density Bill Could Bring More High-Rises to 7 California Cities

A bill awaiting the governor's signature would allow seven major California cities with transit stops and populations over 400,000 to build taller residential buildings near transit hubs. It mandates height limits of at least 150 feet, with some areas allowing up to 450 feet. The bill aims to increase housing density to meet a 2.5 million new homes goal by 2030 and would prompt a housing construction loan study.
