The goal is to increase the availability of housing in California, addressing the ongoing housing crisis.

Critics Say

Critics of CA AB2433 contend that increasing density bonuses could lead to overdevelopment and strain local infrastructure. They argue that the bill may prioritize developer profits over community needs, potentially disrupting neighborhoods and diminishing quality of life.
