"Incremental housing is not a radical transformation. It’s a return to the adaptable neighborhoods we built for generations.

But helping people rediscover that truth starts with listening, and this conversation starts best at the most local level at city hall."

Why State Housing Reform is Failing (and What We Can Do About It)

Statewide zoning reform isn't producing the wins everyone expected. An architect reveals why: the permissions may have changed, but the reflexes never adapted.

Edward Erfurt, Dec 2, 2025

"What State Mandates Can’t Do
A mandate can change the zoning, but it cannot:

Teach staff how to right-size their review.

Build trust between cities and local builders.

Reform decades of overengineered building codes designed for the biggest projects.

Create financing tools that fit the scale of a backyard cottage rather than a cookie cutter suburban home.

Form local partnerships between small banks and small developers.

Reduce the cultural fear of neighborhoods evolving again.

These changes must be made locally. They are the “ecosystem” of incremental developers, contractors, plan reviewers, lenders, and neighbors. This is why state reforms so often underdeliver: the structure changed, the permissions changed, but the systems never adapted."

Governor Gavin Newsom has signed three bills into law that will make it easier for local homeowners to build accessory dwelling units (ADUs). These new laws will collectively help advance housing development across the state, benefiting tenants, homeowners, and construction workers. alamedapost.com/news/governor-
