Golden Together Unveils Second Policy Paper On Universal Housing Affordability
Sacramento, CA... Golden Together, a Movement to Restore the California Dream, led by author and government policy advisor Steve Hilton, unveiled its second policy paper aimed at ending California’s housing shortage and ushering in a new era of housing abundance. "California’s housing crisis is manmade; with the right reforms our state can end the emergency and usher in a new era of housing abundance"
Click here to view the paper titled “Achieving Universal Housing Affordability”
Last year, Golden Together received Title and Summary for a new voter initiative titled The California Homeownership Affordability Act which would greatly eliminate CEQA lawsuit abuse, one of the single greatest drivers of housing costs and barriers to production. Universal Housing Affordability expands on this proposal to include a suite of detailed policies aimed at moving beyond a state of housing emergency and into one of abundance.
"California’s Housing Crisis is not some natural disaster or unavoidable accident. It is the direct result of policy choices, many of them well-intended, that have combined over the years to make it almost impossible to build homes on the scale we need,” Hilton said. “The good news is these policies can be changed; we can reform the policies which have made housing so expensive. Instead of scarcity, we can have abundance. Instead of politicians telling people where and how to live we can move into a new era of Housing Choice and Homeowner Autonomy. We can solve our debilitating housing crisis with a new approach that is modern, sustainable and more human. We must plan for, and achieve, Universal Housing Affordability. This, our second policy report from Golden Together, shows the way.”Steve
Key points from the policy paper include:
- Eliminating the private right of action under CEQA, and capping Impact Fees, as outlined in the California Homeownership Affordability Act could help expedite the delivery of nearly 1 million homes currently targeted by CEQA litigation and bring down costs.
- Achieving Universal Housing Affordability will require a diverse mix of solutions that include single family homes; by using the latest innovations and technologies, California’s new, 21st century suburban neighborhoods can be designed to be beautiful, and most importantly, sustainable.
- Increasing California’s urban footprint by 1 percent could provide housing for 10 million new residents, all of them living in homes on quarter acre lots (four person households), with an equivalent area set aside for schools, parks, roads, retail and commercial centers.
Golden Together aims to produce a monthly series of reports that will offer substantive analysis of California's most serious challenges, along with positive and practical, common sense ideas to help solve them.

President Dementia has claimed he has traveled over Baltimore’s Francis Scott Key Bridge "many, many times … either on a train or by car.”
One problem Mr Dementia with your story, there no tracks on the bridge.
Kind of like when you said you were at ground zero the day after the September attack but your book says you were in DC that day. Or how about
when you said you "watched” a Pittsburgh bridge collapse when in fact you visited the disaster site hours afterward?"
You just have to insert yourself into every disaster and make it about YOU time after time. Like you told the loved ones when your actions killed their kids in your Disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal that your son Beau died
while in action overseas. You care more about making it all about you and not what your actions did to these family members.
Disgusting President, Disgusting Family

Please.. Can you give it a rest. You write this a statement. That rambles on and on. Let me give you an example. Today, Trump now selling sixty dollar Bibles and four hundred dollar gold converse shoes. That’s why America needs four more years of grifting again.

I'm sure his 'version' of the bible excludes Exodus and all the admonition of adultery.

Buy Truth Social Stock!!!! Its public now. Remember Trumps last stock public offer?? It was a casino. It went bankrupt. He made millions. It was a scam. Some things never change.
It amazes me that some people here in Calaveras County, intelligent people, continue to fall for this grifters shtick. How about him saying he wants to spend his fortune on getting elected? Meanwhile, he hasn't spent a penny of his own money for campaign or lawyer fees. He's spending the money of the people he grifts!!! How can somewhat intelligent people be so stupid?

^Thats the best you got, huh Trumptard? Its all you can say because policy isn't something Trump or his Trumpaholics do well, is it? Its all insults, retribution, falsehoods. That's all you fools have. Go get your Trump bible, put on your Trump gold tennies, listen to Lee Greenwood sing his lame song, and watch your TruthSocial stocks fly until they inevitably crash. You and Trumps lives are just one big lie. And insult.
Enjoy now until early November, when the majority of America tells Trump and people like you to go take a flying fuk. And this time it'll be forever.

Beyond the personal incentives, though, MAGA has a collective interest in pushing conspiracies, even if those conspiracies are too incoherent to promote any specific policy or identify a specific target of hate.
Conspiracy theories undermine faith in a shared truth or a shared community. MAGA isn’t really trying to get people to believe any one story. They’re just trying to sow doubt. If nobody can be trusted, if everyone is corrupt, then Trump and his ilk are no worse than anyone else. Conspiracy theories alienate people from the democratic process. That’s good for Trump, who hates democracy.

And, so far, none of the comments relate to the article, Steve Hilton's proposal or the housing crisis America is in. Just another example of the useless click-bait reason this website exists. The the businesses who advertise here: please stop giving your money to John Hamilton or the Pine Tree. It only encourages hateful behaviors and isn't a good look for Calaveras County. Do better.

What do you have against free speech and local news? Are you afraid of debate? Just want to see news from left wing outlets?
I have come to tpt everyday since 2005. I love what they do! Who else covers local events in their entirety like TPT? Full parade video? Lots of photos?
No one does that better than TPT!!
