Siyamak sits down with Christine Epperly, a licensed civil engineer and building designer with over 30 years in business. She discovered a state-run plan called the “15 Minute city”, that is changing the landscape of California. “What’s happening in California is we’re building these high-density communities in the middle of the towns and suburbs. I looked at them and they’re basically all the same. It’s brutalism.”

The Great Housing Challenge: WHAT MATTERS TO CONSTITUENTS? A 4-part Town Hall Series on Zoom (August-November) Thursday nights, 5:00-6:30 pm Part 4: The Constitution Matters! An LA Court (4/24) found SB9, the Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) law, unconstitutional. The ruling could ultimately have a broader impact on the state’s ability to enforce SB 9 and other housing laws in all of California’s 121 charter cities. Presenters: Attorney Pam Lee, Aleshire & Wynder, argued the winning SB9 case. Her colleague, attorney Sunny Soltani (invited), is an expert on how to become a charter city. The California Dream is collapsing into a California Nightmare! Legislators have passed 150 laws since 2017, without increasing the supply of affordable housing. Evidence shows conditions are getting worse. What matters? Affordable housing, of course. And also safety, taxes, elections, and the constitution.
