New ADU laws come to California as 2024 begins

It’s a train wreck waiting to happen.

Bring it to Vegas

Make sense why they pushed SB9 to divide plots now this. Lmao about ti be q clusterfuck

Where I live all the shopping plaza's are empty ran out of business convert those.

The creation of extensive single-family zoning is a major reason why housing is so expensive, and a major reason why people who don't make 6-figure salaries have been pushed into the barrios. If you are so against ADU's, then what's your solution to overpriced housing?

Parking sufficiency?

This is the most none sense rule ever

They need to build more houses in borrego springs as San Diego county out there All that land out there's ridiculous.

NIMBY’s whining; ignore them and build homes.

PARKING!!!!! That's the main thing here in California.

what is wrong with this state it will make every neighborhood more dense with no back yard , the gentleman that was talking his culture doesn't care about over crowding people from south of the boarder are used to living in over crowded environments but lets think about others . maybe a one story granny unit !

I don't blame people trying to get extra money or getting two or three jobs to make more money.

Just lower the fcking house market stop charging everyone an arm and a leg, an apartment here requires you to make 2-3 times your income and some the areas that request that are ghetto and run down like who the fck is going to try to move in that makes 2-3 times more their income move into an apartment building that's barley holding up how about you fix those issues first

California sucks. Glad I moved away. Their political focus is too controlling of the people. I enjoy my freedom and living my life on my own terms. It's also way to expensive to be in California. Too much financial greed and not enough regulation on the housing market. Stop trying to control the people who live there. And people wonder why there was a mass exodus in California

ADUs should have an owner-occupancy requirement. If a homeowner wants to build a home office or an art studio where he will be doing work, that is fine. But the idea of effectively transforming single-family residences into multi-family dwellings by allowing tenants to move into ADUs is absolute lunacy. People are fleeing California in droves specifically to get something resembling the Brady Bunch house, which in L.A. County outside of the barrios cannot be found for less than seven figures.

Say good bye to America’s Finest City 🤬🤬🤬

No insurance company will cover it.

You own the ADU, but not the grass you step out on. Wait till issue comes up and you need the people off your property, or worse, you don’t own the land and the landowner is at your door. YIKES

Very interesting

Luckily most homes in my neighborhood have pools. Gonna be hard to fit in an ADU.

I think this will put a premium on neighborhoods like mine when people figure out the value of moving to an "ADU proof" neighborhood. Thanks for making me richer newsome.

My ADU is for my children!! NOT strangers. I'M BUILDING A FAMILY COMPOUND. Sounds like greedy weirdos are taking advantage.

Need to STOP ADUs....property values are tanking...neighborhood parking & population is beyond the pale. 🙄

Look at our leaders...they grew up in sh it..they got affirmitively hired or pushed in elections and now theyre turning the country into sh it

Bad idea.

This is already ruining my neighborhood, taking all the garages away and in turn all the parking. Who wants their front door right next to a dumpster?

Sounds nice but it is still a expensive Proposition to get one built more like a stop gap result for the cash flush Individuals willing to take on a Build in there back yard !.

Sacramento's housing policies are null and void. Cities and neighborhoods should go ahead and openly show the middle finger to Sacramento when it comes to housing policies, because state law can never legitimately supersede the power of counties, cities, and neighborhoods to regulate zoning in their jurisdiction. Local authorities always have the final say in what gets built in their jurisdiction, whether it be a gentleman's club, a marijuana dispensary, or a skyscraper.

Sacramento constantly drums up hysteria about a "housing crisis". But at the same time, they do nothing about the illegal aliens infesting our state and decreasing the supply of housing

The intent and effect of this is to destroy neighborhoods that have traditionally been for single-family residences. An ADU is bad for traffic, parking, and infrastructure. All one needs to do is to look at conditions in the barrio, such as in Pacoima or Huntington Park to see the effect of the absence of single-family residences.

Democrat over regulation have caused housing problem. Repeal SEQA would be a good start. Elections have consequences so enjoy what you voted for 😂.

HOPEFULLY SOMEWHERE TO PARK ????? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 PARKING NOT REQUIRED for ADUS.

The empty office buildings should convert to apartments

More property crime incoming.

Disaster coming.

“Hopefully finds parking”

It’s all bull crap we bought a home for the reason of our privacy . Now there’s less parking

the guy said "hopefully somewhere to park". parking is a big issue

The third world has officially arrived. The land scape of the nation has changed, so why not the neighborhoods?

I’m curious - for most of those commenting against ADUs and new ADU laws - are most of you home / landowners? 🤔

I was born, raised, and still live in San Diego. I never plan to leave. As someone who has no generational wealth or property to inherit - and as someone who owns a condo but wants to upgrade to a home one day, God only knows when I can afford it - I think ADUs are great.

I don’t get all this hate against ADUs.

Over crowding... No more street parking.... Riff Raff moves in. Drugs, guns, sex in the back alley.

The set of laws that guaranteed the destruction of Californian suburbia.

It's not a "crisis" that everyone who wants to live in "America's finest city" is unable to. This is open borders logic. The intelligent thing to do is to limit population growth until it can occur organically with a natural rise in housing supply, where possible, NOT allowing the floodgates to open by giving residential property owners the ability to plant apartment buildings in their backyards.

Oh so you want favelas?

We’ll, we’re well on our way to becoming a third world country. All types of housing for all types of neighborhoods for all types of people.

ADUs are a form of voluntary infill where the gov gets the homeowners to increase the density of their neighborhood, one unit at a time. Basically allowing the area to double the amount of stress on the infrastructure... Parking, water, sewer, electricity, etc...
Oh, and the gov will be reassessing your property to a higher level to get more property tax from you.

He said hopefully somewhere to park lol

What’s an ADU please?

Why sell an adu, when you can rent one out.

Stupidity..

Do the natives Americans. Have a housing problem.


No. Cause only natives can build on tribel land.

All this bullshit housing has nothing to do with native born.

All others . Transients. Banned from renting or buying .. ..

Look at all this b.s. illegal immigrants..


Get free everything... but Americans get turned down when they apply..

These elected need to be jailed for life...

City. County. State. Federal..

EDU will be a big mess.

This comment section is filled with examples of why this country, and specifically California is facing an incredibly bad housing crisis. Imagine complaining about giving people the FREEDOM to build whatever they want on THEIR land.

There is so much undeveloped land available and it's not far away, everyone just wants to live in the same neighborhood rather than 15-20 minutes away. People who own large acreages should develop some of it and rent it out. Some state owned land can be sold to developers.
