If your business is within a half mile of a transit (eg., bus) stop, you will no longer be able to build parking spaces or a parking lot to accommodate your customers. If you are building apartments, you can't provide parking spaces for your tenants. If you are a car dealer... Well, you get the idea here. The state of California expects you to take the bus or other public transit everywhere like a good little peasant.

So, I guess this means people won't need those mandated electric cars after all...

from the article:
so they CAN have parking if they want it just cant require it via zoning.Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a bill that bars local governments from mandating parking spaces as part of most development near transit stops.
I guess the question becomes, does the property owner want low income or not. I'm guessing not.

The state wants low income housing to be built in large numbers. Want to be it cities and such still allow parking the state will just up this to a total ban? After all, people in low income housing should have no say in their pathetic lives according to the Left's actions...
OMG. You are a complete idiot. They didn't ban parking. They banned mandated parking
There is nothing banning parking. They only said parking can not be a requirement imposed by local governments before approving construction.Citing the need to address California’s twin crises of housing affordability and climate change, Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a bill that bars local governments from mandating parking spaces as part of most development near transit stops.

yes I understand govt wants more low income housing but lets face itany developer will opt for high income over low to maximize his profits.
And a ban will more likely mean no development.
Cali needs to quit developing, you cant handle the numbers of people you already have.

This is actually good legislation. Everyone here complains there's too much traffic, congestion blah, blah, blah along with completely unaffordable housing. How do you deal with that? Build more housing near public transportation that allows those who want to to get around without a car. Previously the law required a minimum parking amount which was a huge cost burden and contributed to preventing development. If you're building out in the burbs away from public transit then yes you need to provide more parking. But if you're building right next to BART and other public transportation then you need less.
This will help provide more housing. It's a good thing.

And it’s only NEAR mass transit stations
No place to park?
So take the transit
It’s called good planning

If you are still living in California you might think about getting out while you still can.
I choose my own words like the Americans of olden times........before this dystopia arrived.
DARK AGES SUCK!
We moved to California in 1981. At that time people complained the state was already overcrowded and they were passing anti-development/anti-growth measures. And look where we are 40 years later; most wealth in the country and highest poverty rate and housing prices that are off the charts. NIMBYism is like a religion here and many share your belief that the state should quit developing (it's one of the few things those on the right and left agree upon).
That's why the YIMBY movement was created. Population growth in this country isn't going to slow down so stopping development only puts upwards pressure on housing costs.

The same dumb shit republicans have said for decades while California kicks their ass economically
We are the 5 largest economy in the world
Oh and guess what
If you take just Latino Americans into consideration
Latinos are the 5th largest economy in the world
Latinos are great in the small business area for an economy
Give them a generation or two and they will be sitting as CEOs of large companies
Yet the right hates them
Go figure
