I've been watching this sort of development pattern issue carefully, as in Petaluma we've had developers near the new rail station fighting pushback from the "that's not Petaluma" folks who are pushing for few stories low density development. It'll be interesting to see if this goes anywhere, and whether or not developers hold off on projects in the hopes that they can go higher: Bill could add millions of new homes next to California's public transit stations:
California State Senator Scott Wiener proposed a trio of new housing bills on Thursday, including one that would make it easier to build taller projects near public transit.
Wiener (D-San Francisco)'s SB 827 calls for the statewide removal of single-family home and parking requirements for projects within a half-mile of transit hubs like BART, Muni and Caltrain stations.
