If Scott Wiener’s SB 50 passes, the power of local Planning Departments to design our cities will be taken over by the state. Developers will become the new city planners and many people will be displaced by investors looking for a place to part their money.

After losing SB 827 last year, Senator Wiener has increased his attack on California residents by doubling down on efforts to control our communities from Sacramento.
