Gov. Newsom abolishes most single-family zoning in California

Appreciate the disagreement. honestly.
 I remember hearing similar calls about planning for orange county. Have to say they did much better planning there and the property values reflect that.
 City councils acting like lemming in enacting zoning that mirrors adjacent communities without regard for the big picture, as in the overall industrial/commercial/retail/residential mix and with consideration to traffic flow is my point against bad gov't, which you elaborated nicely on. Yeah you could call that a planning deficiency if you're the central planning commie type :w00t:  You say central planning I say free markets.
Just sayin  

With regard to LA and Riverside, I should have specified "Infrastructure Planning" as opposed to the City Residential/Commercial/Industrial/Agriculture Zoning type planning. They both have different and sometimes unfortunately competing considerations. My bad for not clarifying better.

Infrastructure needs and the planning for it are much different than if you can build a granny flat on your own property or not. As long as what you do on/with your property doesn't negatively affect neighbor's property, do whatever you want IMHO. But if you put a granny flat in your back yard and now people can't park in front of their own house because of it, yeah, people are generally gonna have a problem with that. If you're gonna build that granny flat, you best be making parking provisions for said flat too.
