Senate Bill 831 makes secondary units easier to build in CA

Yes, I like this Senate bill too -- as I think many of the older city planning/zoning/building codes are and have been badly in need of updating to modern times and modern social conditions. With the need to have more housing in urban areas, I am in strongly in favor of building second units (or even third units, if the lot is large enough) on city lots. I am not so excited about the prospect of making it easier to build high rise apartment buildings in quiet neighborhoods which are presently almost all single family homes....which is another bill that Wiener and Nancy Skinner have introduced, 827 I think it is. I would like to see the high rise apartments kept along commerical corridors where they don't impinge on quiet neighborhoods and lead to drastic changes in the whole character of the neighborhood.
