Eight California counties just lost control of their own zoning and residents may have no idea it happened.

In this episode, Mikey Taylor and Michael Michalov break down SB 79, one of the most aggressive transit-oriented housing laws in California’s recent history. The two unpack how the state took zoning power away from local cities, what it means for the housing shortage, and how some real estate investors are responding.

In this episode:

  • What SB 79 does and the counties it affects

  • How the Builder's Remedy forced cities into a choice

  • Why Orange County's legal fight against the state failed

  • The zero-parking problem

  • Institutional money vs. mom-and-pop investors: who can actually build under this law

  • Does more vertical housing turn California into a renter state?
