If bills were enacted into law based purely on the discussion they provoke, Senate Bill 827 would be a constitutional amendment by now. Proposed in early January by sponsors Scott Weiner and Nancy Skinner, SB 827 would require residential up-zoning along high-frequency transit lines. The bill is intended to both boost housing production statewide and encourage use of public transit.
