    California Housing Bill That Allows 6-Story Building in Residential Neighborhood Near Transit

    To address California’s housing shortage, lawmakers in Sacramento are considering SB 79, a bill that would allow taller apartment buildings in neighborhoods currently reserved for single-family homes. The measure is intended to add housing options, shorten commutes, and make better use of existing infrastructure. But this has also led to discussion of local control and how cities can manage growth. In this episode, former Torrance City Councilmember Mike Griffiths and Nolan Gray, senior director of Legislation and Research at California YIMBY, offer different perspectives on what SB 79 could mean for California communities.

Independent filmmaker and professor Jeff Deverett breaks down why this matters for the next generation of Hollywood talent and what California risks losing if it doesn't act.
