Dear Fellow Orindans,
Orinda Watch is a volunteer coalition of citizens whose purpose is keeping the people of Orinda, California informed on local affairs while fighting for local control of planning and governance.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here are nine housing laws pending in our CA legislature this month. All of these bills without exception further diminish the power of local control, increase densities, allow multiple dwellings on single family lots, and are rife with vague language and inconsistencies. If we don’t fight this tyranny, our single family zoning will be gone. The legislature has betrayed us and has declared war on all California suburbs. This is a war California suburbs need to win.
Founder of Livable California, Susan Kirsch, has aggregated these bills here: Nix the Nine. Another version of the nine bills is located here: Livable CA.
As a minimum: (1) forward this newsletter to all other Californians and ask for their action, (2) call/write your City Council Members, and (3) contact: Senator Glazer (925) 258-1176, and Assembly Member: Rebecca Bauer-Kahan (925) 328-1515 or call your State Senator and State Assembly Member.
Action is required by August 17, 2020.
Your friends and neighbors at Orinda Watch
