This is what actual leadership on housing affordability and climate policy looks like!

It actually even *bigger* than that. It eliminates parking requirements for housing, commercial, and retail projects including adaptive reuse!!
I think this is one of the more important things that has been signed for our urban areas in California in a decade.
This can make small mom and pop restaurants, bars, stores, etc possible in cool places that logicially make sense, but didn't have any way previously to provide the draconian amount of parking that would have been necessary before.
Great leadership here from all involved.
