The loss and suffering of his citizens look like the least of Gavin Newsom’s concerns.
Last January, I let you all know that the state of California had changed the zoning in the subsequent burn area from single-family to multi-family THREE MONTHS BEFORE THE DEVASTATING FIRES destroyed an area the size of San Francisco.
Another bill teamed up with SB1123.
SB 684, which took effect on July 1 of this year, provides for streamlined, ministerial processing of certain residential projects in multifamily zoning districts consisting of no more than 10 single-family homes. The law expanded the Starter Home Revitalization Act to further facilitate the construction of smaller, more naturally affordable “starter” homes. SB 1123, passed during the most recent legislative cycle and effective July 1, 2025, expands SB 684’s reach to legalize construction of up to 10 homes on vacant lots in single-family zoning districts, as well.
To expedite streamlining efforts, SB 684 and SB 1123 projects are exempt from discretionary review, environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), and the right to appeal.
This Alert highlights SB 684’s streamlining incentives, associated siting requirements, and development specifications and denotes how SB 1123 will expand the law’s applicability to allow for more housing development on previously restricted land.
Ministerial processing or “ministerial approval” means a process for development approval involving little or no personal judgment by the public official as to the wisdom or manner of carrying out the project
Let’s cut to the chase. CA changed zoning BEFORE the fires, then made sure that the people could not rebuild. To date, only approximately 70 permits have been approved. Various authorities are now promising to help expedite. Sure.
Standard permitting time in Dallas takes an average of 8 – EIGHT – days.
Now, Newsom is announcing funding for multi-family residential structures in LA.
A UNAgenda “C40” city is the goal, I believe. Newsom and his band of merry crooks want to show the 2028 Olympics what a world-class C40 city looks like. He has zero desire to help the people as he flaps his jaws about expediting things.
Call me crazy, and some, I’m sure do, but the promises of CA officials ring as hollow as their moral code.
What this should show the world is what a world-class gang of Totalitarians in government can do to people’s lives. BEWARE, citizens of the other 49!
Sadly, I called this, on Jan. 15, less than two weeks after the fires. See my substack about Zoning, a True Globalist Tool. I’d have preferred, I guess, to have been off base on this one. But, that would require morals and values to have suddenly taken root in California governance. Silly me.
The most important part of this message is to alert people of other states to the very possible REAL intent of officials in their states, and legislation they’ve passed.
Here we go, to Florida again. Here is a piece of just one example of what has happened there, copied from my Jan. article.
Anytime citizens ignore their government AT THE LOCAL LEVEL their rights – their Constitutional rights – can disappear. You MUST demand a seat at the table. Always.
Ron DeSantis, recently pulled something like this over on his constituents. After his reelection at the end of 2022, Tallahassee quietly and quickly (only 6 weeks!) passed FL SB 102. This is the “Live Local Act”, one of the first laws passed in the new 2023 legislative year:
“deleting the authority of local governments to adopt or maintain laws, ordinances, rules, or other measures that would have the effect of imposing controls on rents; providing an exemption from ad valorem taxation for land that meets certain criteria; authorizing local governments to adopt ordinances to provide an ad valorem tax exemption for portions of property used to provide affordable housing meeting certain requirements; suspending, for a specified period, the General Revenue Fund service charge on documentary stamp tax collections; authorizing the Governor, under the Florida Job Growth Grant Fund, to approve state or local public infrastructure projects to facilitate the development or construction of affordable housing, etc.”
To facilitate the construction of “affordable housing”…rather than “bourgeoise”…
This bill is much less direct but it essentially does the same, removing local government from their own control over zoning and taxing ordinances and allowing the Governor to approve local building projects for affordable housing, ETC. What’s the “ETC”, I wonder…? How much more can Tallahassee slip in here?
How much more of Tallahassee will Floridians take? I leave you with this because – whether or not you think you trust your elected officials, and not a whole lot of Americans do – it is essential to your very freedom that you stay aware.
Then, here I go again – if you con’t like what you see or smell, GET OFF THE COUCH AND OUT THE DOOR. WE HAVE A COUNTRY TO SAVE. More and more, it is apparent that only we can do that.
DEMAND a seat at the table. If you don’t, you will be under it while the Big Boys play with your lives.
