*Grabar, Henry. "[https://slate.com/business/2018/01/california-bill-sb827-residential-zoning-transit-awesome.html California Bill Would Allow Unrestricted Housing by Transit, Solve State Housing Crisis.]" 5 Jan 2018. [https://slate.com/business/2018/01/california-bill-sb827-residential-zoning-transit-awesome.html https://slate.com/business/2018/01/california-bill-sb827-residential-zoning-transit-awesome.html].<br/> ''"At first glance, the bill is too radical to pass; California homeowners would revolt, or at least use their remaining local power to shut down a whole lot of bus routes. At least one advocate for equitable development in South L.A. has compared the bill to Andrew Jackson’s Indian Removal Act. Like most attempts to build more housing, it will likely be crushed between homeowners seeking to preserve property values and renters fearful of the resultant tear-downs and evictions.''<br/> ''&nbsp; &nbsp; "Wiener’s transit-oriented development bill, if it passed, would have the most radical impact of any California law since Prop 13, the 1978 resolution that permanently lowered the state’s property taxes (and dealt a blow to state finances that continues to this day). But even if it doesn’t, it puts some smaller good ideas on the table. If anyone were in a position to get some part of this passed, it would be California Gov. Jerry Brown, who is in the final year of his well-received second stint in charge of the country’s most populous state."''<br/> &nbsp;
