Newsom signs law expanding starter home rules (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Gov. Gavin Newsom has signed legislation intended to make it easier to build small, for-sale homes in California. Senate Bill 1116 strengthens the state’s 2023 Starter Home Revitalization Act. The law provides a ministerial approval path for qualifying small-lot subdivisions and housing projects of up to 10 homes. It passed both chambers without a single no vote. “This will be key to expanding homeownership opportunities and reviving the California Dream,” Nolan Gray, chief urban planner at the
Judge orders NYC to withdraw pied-à-terre surcharge notices (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A Staten Island judge on Tuesday ordered New York City to cancel every pied-à-terre tax notice it mailed to owners of luxury second homes, throwing a wrench into Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s plan to use the tax money to help close the city’s budget gap.

He’s followed through, with the latest round coming in July. Orange County’s Costa Mesa was among five municipalities sued for missing deadlines to plan for their share of state-mandated housing, including units for low- and moderate-income residents. Despite the lawsuit, the Costa Mesa City Council recen
Two competing Chicago rent ordinances head for a showdown (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Chicago’s City Council is weighing competing rewrites of the city’s four-decade-old rental rules, setting up a fight over renter protections, landlord costs and the city’s housing-production strategy. Mayor Brandon Johnson’s Protecting Renters Ordinance, known as PRO, and the rival Fair and Accountable Illinois Rental Ordinance, or FAIR, advanced from separate city council committees last week. Chicago isn’t alone. Cities nationwide are rewriting the rules governing landlords and tenants as affo
