CA Cities to Lose All Zoning Powers in 2 Days

Housing right next to highways is pretty bad. There's a huge amount of pollution, both particulate and noise, and depending on the layout, also light. Constant exposure to all of those will quickly lead to a variety of chronic conditions and generally make one miserable.

You’re right, better have none at all than something below your standards. /s

But the alternative isn’t none at all. The alternative is putting them somewhere better.

That's what HCD is trying to enforce -- that cities aren't just putting all the low-income housing in undesirable areas but are instead spreading it throughout.
