Apartments take a few months to build. There are standard designs they build over an over again in different locations. I realize CA has earthquakes and maybe cannot take a design from Ohio (though I wouldn't be surprised if they could), but there should be plenty of designs that meet codes. If they cannot build thousands of apartments in a year the problem isn't the time it is they are doing something to make it not possible to build that fast.
Building should be by right - no need to ask the neighbors for permission or get a review (for a standard design that doesn't do anything unusual), just half hour to get the permit and then a few routine inspections along the way.
You read what he's saying in the article, because the implication is pretty clear that he's saying, "you house these people right now or else" as if that's possible.
He has been threatening for a while now. If they haven't made significant progress it is because they are not trying to.
Bullshit. They have to deal with a bunch of NIMBYism.
They refers to the people of the county in question - which is where those NIMBYs live and thus those who are not trying.
Wow. My building was finished 6 months ago after a 3-year process.
I envy your comparatively-overnight build. Pouring the foundation (parking) alone is a month for 5 storeys for the new one going in next door, and then concrete for each level is at least another fortnight. That's like a year alone just for the concrete skeleton, let alone the infrastructure and then build of the units.
