"Housing is the top target of environmental lawsuits in California. Want to build housing, even put a prefabricated trailer home on your lot? $20,000 for traffic, $20,000 for sewer, $20,000 for electricity, $10,000 for transit, $5,000 for public art, just in fees. San Francisco got up to almost $300,000 per apartment before land, construction, and labor. And many jurisdictions are charging over $100,000".
The cost of housing has skyrocketed in California. Siyamak sits down with Jennifer Hernandez, a land use, environmental, and civil attorney with 40 years of experience. Join us as we dive into all the components that make the cost of housing much higher in California than in the rest of the nation.
"People don't believe it's possible, that it's legal. But in fact, it is. And it happens all the time. A piece of wood doesn't need to cost more here than it does in Nevada."

This is a tiny fraction of the problem that only correlates to new development and some higher taxes to preexisting housing. This doesn't explain the 25% increase to pre-existing homes built decades ago across the country. that's the real housing crisis. New developments are always expensive which has the cost covered by building in large quantities. Environmental policy is not why the 50 year old 1800 sq foot home down the street is going for 1.08 million when it was valued at 200k 10 years ago

She is 100% correct...I bought a small lot to build our home in Rancho cucamonga Ca. I was in shock to learn that the fees will add up to close to $100,000 😳😲 I had no idea the permit fees will be that much. I bought that lot almost three years ago, and sadly haven't yet build bc of the darn fees. Had I know, I would have not bought the lot. And not to mention still paying taxes on the lot. I should have done my homework before buying a lot to build a home ....

I live in Tokyo, Japan, one of the largest and most densely populated cities on earth. Yet, housing in Tokyo is affordable, and the entire country of Japan (123 million people) has half as many homeless as the city of Sacramento (half a million). Why is housing affordable in Tokyo? First, there is minimal housing and construction regulation. There is virtually no zoning, meaning you can build a home, shop, school, or factory pretty much anywhere, or even combine all of these into a single structure. Second, neighboring landlords have practically no say in what you build on your own property, regardless of the effect your new structure may have on the value of their property. Newer buildings, as a rule, drive down the value of older buildings, which may not seem fair to their owners, but the effect is to keep the overall real estate and rental prices lower. Another point is the way the government in Japan works. Japan's election system is interesting, it is illegal to donate money to political campaigns, to politicians, or political parties. Anyone can run for office in Japan, you petition the people in your district, and if you get enough signatures, your name is put on the ballot, and the government funds your campaign. All candidates get the identical amount of financial aid and speaking time. This system prevents candidates from making deals or promises in exchange for campaign contributions. An even more interesting point is that unions have no power in private business or government. Politicians cannot buy the votes of union members with taxpayer money. An added benefit to this system is that labor unions do not constantly lobby for ever higher wages while demanding ever lower standards. I live in the most expensive district in Tokyo, some of the homes in this neighborhood cost upwards of $50 million. Yet, there are small apartments in older buildings which can be rented for less than $1000 per month. Basically, Japan's housing is based upon the free market, more desirable places are more expensive, less desirable places are less expensive. Those who can afford better places can find them, those who can afford less expensive places can find them.

@jpguthrie6669 2 ай бұрын

@@CC-kl4nh There is no capitalism in America, though there is plenty of greed. Capitalism is defined as "free markets," but if you are trying to build a home, apartment building, factory, or anything else, there is nothing "free" about it. In 1931 FDR and his administration were trying to pin down the cause of the Great Depression. Some said that the cause was capitalism. FDR replied "It isn't that free markets have failed in our time, but that they haven't yet been tried." If the President of the United States said in 1931 that America wasn't a capitalist economy, what would he say about today? The goal of business today is to make markets less free, so that they can limit competition and monopolize larger parts of the market.

The markets would easily fix themselves if they were to - Limit individuals to a maximum of 3 properties OR 15 acres (650k sq ft), whichever comes first (that is a LOT of land for an individual). - Also to limit businesses to 10 properties OR 30 acres, whichever comes first. Exceptions should be made for businesses considered to have a national economic interest such as department stores, amazon, farms, and the like. - Businesses owning property cannot be split into shell companies to have them under the same umbrella of corporations and must be entirely uniquely owned and managed. (This would prevent the blackrocks, Invitation Homes, etc, from chunking large swaths of the market.) - No foreign ownership of land. This is a Huge one. All land purchased within the USA must be purchased by a citizen of the USA who has been such for a minimum of 10 years. Straw purchases for foreigners should be severely punished with imprisonment and fines of multiple times of the value of whatever property is straw purchased. If these changes were made, we'd see the housing market in the US level out and become reasonable for the little guy once more. Of course, because changes like these actually help the little guy and not those in power, we won't ever see them.

I bought in the 1990s and my property taxes are low and my mortgage is a low 3+% (I used the house as an ATM for kids’ private schools/colleges, etc. and refinanced). My house is old with fresh air coming in from the sea. No air conditioning necessary in my part of the Bay Area. Still have natural gas appliances. My housing fees are low. I couldn’t afford to buy my house today, much less to buy new housing here (none really exists that is comparable SFH). My wife and I are retiring soon and this is a great place to live bc it is cheap for us. Great medical facilities, restaurants, public transportation, and very walkable. In fact, it makes no sense to sell our house or move due to huge equity gains that exceed the $500k exclusion several times over. California taxes such gains as regular income. So I am a prisoner in paradise. 😢 All I can do is drive an hour to the wine country for lunch to assuage my grief and drown my tears in Cabernet.

New tight homes recirculate conditioned air after passing through equipment to remove dust and allergens. The results are objective. There are cases of 'sick commercial buildings' causing health problems which turned out to be completely psychological.

We do not hear the follow up story that the sickness was all in the heads of those claiming the maladies. Check out the great discussion by Malcom Gladwell on the topic.

Agreed, it's an artificial housing crisis, there are literally 25 units available for every 100 that need them, they are pulling a debeers playbook , besides blood diamonds, supply and demand.... So if 100 are fighting over 25 slots what do you think is going to happen?! Also they have inflated property values so high, that the owners are complaining about the property taxes

I. Watching this video makes me feel grateful where we live which is in rural southern Indiana. We moved from the north of the state for our retirement 14 years ago and nothing much changed when it comes to affordability like housing, food, transportation, employment opportunities, and quality of life like low crime , community spirit, and health outcomes. Even my son who after graduating from business school and started working in Chicago’s business district decided to join us for better life work balance. He used to play ultimate but now he’s an avid disc golf player because we’re surrounded by golf and disc golf parks in the counties in the south. He thinks where we are is the best kept secret to live and let live. Watching CA disintegrate as described here especially with its quality of life due to untenably high cost of living is like watching a horror movie without any ending.

What she is talking about out with the “air tight” home is called “net zero.” All new homes in california are required to reach a specific range of leakage so they can recycle interior air to reduce costs. It is an added expense when building homes because you pretty much have to foam seal every crack in the house and rubber seal your basement, etc.

@Matt90541 3 ай бұрын

Insulation and air tightness requirements aren't unique to California, they've changed and been updated in every state that I know of. They should take a look at the strict regulations that enforce zoning in California that limit the housing supply. It's simple supply and demand/supply side economics which I thought this channel promotes...but I looks like they don't apply that principle to one of humans most basic needs - shelter - most speakers on this channel want to restrict the housing supply. This video is misleading to say the least.

@sheepishmclemmingston5550 3 ай бұрын

This is a MASSIVE problem for health concerns. A tightly sealed home also prevents fumes from vacating the home or structure from building materials like carpet, composite wood products and your Corian countertops to your couch, mattress and recliner off-gassing after installation or placement in the building (releasing gasses from the synthetics used to manufacture the materials) this is one of the issues that create the phenomenon of MANY indoor air qualities being MUCH more toxic than outside air quality even sometimes in regions with moderate to poor outside air quality. Also, tightly sealed structures have resulted in a HUGE uptick in Mold and Mildew issues (most notably BLACK MOLD infestations) as well as a return of different bacterial illnesses like Legionairs Disease, as the guest noted in her interview.

I've lived in LA all my life, and one thing I've noticed is how all these investment companies (chinese mostly) are taking over poor neighborhoods and making it even more expensive to live on. Echo park was sort of an experiment back in the day where investors came in and bought property, made it really expensive to live on, and now mostly white rich people live there. Gangs were used as an excuse to invest, raise rent, and drive a large Latino population out of there. It did rid of a lot of gangs there, true, but at the expense of hard-working, honest people. The same is being done throughout all of California now! Those of you reading this that keep voting blue, please do us all a favor and stop voting for these idiots!!! It's hurting not just me and people like me, but it also hurts you. Swallow your pride and vote differently for a change. This state isn't just yours. it is all of ours! I know truth really hurts, but your party hasnt done better for all of us. Im not saying red is amazing, cuz they're not, but at least it will be a point towards the right direction. A different direction at least. We need California to be great again!!

They also point out that requiring developers to build subsidized housing actually increases housing costs because many projects can't get built as a result of these affordable housing requirements.
