"The nonpartisan Public Policy Institute of California said in a recent report that the state's population grew by more than three times the number of housing units that were built over the last decade. California would need at least 3.5 million new homes by 2025 to meet current demand."

"In a separate poll by the market and research firm Probolsky Research, nearly 65 percent of respondents said they support returning land-use decisions to localities.

“Voters strongly oppose the new state laws that strip our ability to speak out about what is happening literally right next door to our homes,” Redondo Beach Mayor Bill Brand said in a statement.

Lewis, of California YIMBY, said a pattern has emerged pitting Southern California against the rest of the state since Newsom signed the housing bills into law."
