“Urban infill housing is critical for the environment and climate change”

SACRAMENTO – Today, California YIMBY released the following statement about the passage of AB 1633 in the state legislature:

“Building multi-family housing in existing communities not only reduces rents, it is one of the most important steps California can take to reduce climate pollution, and to conserve sensitive lands and ecosystems,” said Brian Hanlon, CEO of California YIMBY. “AB 1633 ensures that environmental laws, like the California Environmental Quality Act, are used to help achieve these objectives. Thanks to Assemblymember Phil Ting for advancing this important reform.”
