California cities are deep in the process of planning for a lot of housing right now.
Every eight years, the state’s Housing and Community Development Department directs cities to develop plans to build the number of homes the state projects they’ll need to accommodate the growing population. This cycle, the department has asked them to identify spots for about 2.5 million new homes by 2030 – double their last goal.
California’s housing crisis can seem insurmountable. The median home price is more than $800,000, the state needs millions of additional homes to give everyone a place to live and homelessness is on the rise.
Progress is abysmal. The state called for the construction of 180,000 new units annually between 2015 and 2025 to close the gap. We built fewer than half as many, only about 80,000 new units per year.
