SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) – The leader of the California Senate has vowed to pass a law this year that would add more housing in the state.
Senate President Pro Tem Toni Atkins’ comments came moments after the Senate failed to pass an ambitious housing bill.
That bill would have have forced local governments to let developers build small apartment buildings in some neighborhoods reserved for single family homes. T
he bill failed to pass Wednesday after a lengthy debate.
Bill author Sen. Scott Wiener brought it back for another vote on Thursday, but it also failed.
