Yeah I don't think it's realistic, I'm just thinking something like: * Collusively don't apply for permits or develop for a calendar year to trigger remedies * Then once remedies kick in, apply heavily Perhaps instead the state could track the gap between developer applications and granted permits?

Why do you need (a) to do (b) and (c)?

The tallest hurdles to increased housing production aren’t within the control of cities at this point. The challenges are mostly construction cost related & the availability of capital. The state should focus on building code reform, while increasing the supply of construction material & labor.

My hot take idea is a "One-One" housing plan. During any given rolling five-year period: -for every one percent a jurisdiction's average prices (including deed restriction) rise above inflation; -that jurisdiction must have expanded their housing stock by one percent (with a cap at, say, 3%).

Yeah, pro-housing designation needs to be performance based, not the doubling down on old housing element logic.

C. All C.

Any jurisdiction where a median income family doesn't earn enough to purchase a median priced house should automatically fall under Builders' Remedy and lose the ability to deny building permit submissions that comply with State law.
