Orange County Register-
Southern California leaders voted Thursday, March 4, to adopt a new housing plan for the 2020’s that will triple its future homebuilding goals, acting over repeated objections from public officials that the number is too big.
Thursday’s vote by the full membership of the Southern California Association of Governments – made up of elected officials from 191 cities in six counties – officially requires local governments to draft plans to zone for 1.34 million new homes by the end of 2029.
That’s equivalent to adding almost as many new homes in the region as now exist in Orange and Ventura counties combined.
