SB 79 – Local Community Citizens Beware
What is it?
It’s a proposed law expanding the authority of CA’s Dept. of Housing & Community Development (HCD) with legal and financial punitive powers, enforced by the CA Attorney General, targeting local government agencies. If passed in the CA Legislature and signed into law by Governor Newsom, it will establish a complex maze of legal details defining the compliance efforts mandated by local governing agencies at their own expense.
It would institute the involuntary loss of control over properties owned by local governing agencies and by private businesses and individuals that own negatively impacted nearby properties. It would benefit investors and developers who specialize in multi-unit, high density residential housing with twenty-five per cent or more affordable units.
It would mandate the development of subsidized low-income housing projects and public transit support facilities on government owned properties adjacent to public transit corridors, irrespective of local property values. It would provide no legal recourse for its negative impact on adjacent privately owned properties and no recourse by dissenting local citizen constituents through their electoral process representation.
Why local community citizens should beware:
It is yet another example of the corrupt, ongoing and relentless usurpation of self-government control being wrestled away from local citizen constituencies by the centralized, legislative and regulatory malpractice of unaccountable, socialist CA State elected and appointed authorities.
Sacramento legislators have disenfranchised CA’s local electorates by forcing them to pay for and suffer the negative consequences of oppressive central government actions forced upon them, over which they have no direct, representative controlling power. That’s because the CA government has insulated itself from voter backlash through strategic legislative actions (www.eip-ca.com) by corrupting our electoral processes to preserve its majority faction tyranny.
Our CA State government is no longer Republican in form (as guaranteed by the US Constitution: Article IV, Section 4., look it up). This is why it can bully its subservient local government agencies into executing its centralized controls through policies, procedures, regulations and business practices greased by the wheels of happily compliant elected city, school and other locally elected officials.
Like the City of Huntington Beach, Carlsbad must circle the wagons, defy all corrupt laws, seek legal recourse whenever possible, and purge union-backed and other local socialist-leaning politicians from elected offices, all to stand up against the oppressive socialist tyranny of the State of California.
