I think 1985 was the best housing year for the Sacramento region on record in terms of overall production and product split. Actually the 20 year splits tell an interesting story. 1985: 24k units, 60% attached 2005: 23k units, 17% attached 2023: 12k units, 30% attached highest since GFC

Plans filed for what may be the first development subject to the City of Sacramento's Missing Middle Housing ordinance (per AgencyCounter, idk?). Total of 4 units on an R-1 zoned lot. Good stuff! @sacyimby.bsky.social

REALLY cool project resubmitted in Oak Park on the corner of 3rd Ave and 36th. It's 6 townhome looking lots, except there is a studio on each floor for a total of 18 units. Ground floor units open onto the street, 2nd and 3rd floor units use the external stairway behind. Comes out to 163 units/acre.

This would probably more than double the area in our region relative to the standard “within a half mile of major transit stop” criteria. I think using the transit proximity stuff for all housing bills as a proxy for location efficiency is becoming pretty antiquated.

Sacramento probably the best poised city in the state to successfully develop and operate social housing. Given ample public land, good zoning, and CADA (which currently is a public housing operator) all the pieces are there for a public sector housing boom.

Little 9 unit project in unincorporated Sac County down on Stockton and 66th WITH 3 deed restricted affordable units to get a density bonus. One interesting thing I've been seeing is projects that qualify for 0 parking under AB 2097 using density bonus to reduce required parking.

None of the three story townhomes in this picture would be allowed under Sacramentos bulk control requirements, which are currently the law of the land in all formerly R1 and R2 zones. It’s a problem. We have to fix that before we see meaningful outcome change.

The City of LA is 40% of LA county population but 80% of housing production. City of Sacramento is 33% of sac county population and 36% of permits. What are y’all doing down there in la county suburbs?

Zoning regulations in theory: omg we cannot allow people to live near the big toxic waste plant, that’s unsafe Zoning regulations in practice: look the only place you can build apartments is near the 18-lane interchange because we don’t want those people living any closer

One of the underrated impacts of AB 2097, which eliminated parking mins near existing and planned transit across CA, was that a bunch of cities just expanded that area well beyond the half mile buffer or just did it citywide bc may as well just do the damn thing if half your city is already done.

Ryan isn’t over here yet but he’s calling the Sacramento mayoral race for Kevin McCarty. Unbelievably close primary (where 500 votes separated 4th from 2nd) and now general election.

Sacramento just passed essentially the same reform package minus property tax exemptions (thanks prop 13) but I’m skeptical we will see the same results Spokane is seeing until rates come down. The math isn’t mathing rn.
