oh, even more context, according to this report california has underproduced 3.4M homes just in the period 2000-2015. so, while this bill helps, we still have a massive shortfall to fill: https://www.upforgrowth.org/research/housing-underproduction-california

some bills passed the legislature last week that promise to make a significant dent in california's housing shortage -- up to as many as 2.4M homes. details here:
