More than 150 builder’s remedy projects have been filed in dozens of California cities that have failed to gain state approval for their eight-year plans to build new housing.

In 2022, California began enforcing a 1990 law that allows developers of projects with at least 20% affordable housing to bypass the local zoning approval process in cities and counties that don’t have state-certified “housing element” plans that mandate the number of new houses needed over the next eight years.
