How effective has SB9 been in California?
Unfortunately, SB9 hasn’t seen the expected wave of use statewide as anticipated in providing more additional housing. This is primarily attributable to the lack of knowledge and assistance in the marketplace for individuals looking to take advantage of SB9. Further, the state bill allows for local municipalities to interpret and implement SB9 independently thus making it that much harder for individuals to maximize their property’s potential.
