The "Builders Remedy" is triggered when local agencies fail to provide enough builder-friendly zoning options.
Opponents to any development often fight builders so effectively as to trigger the Builders Remedy, resulting in potentially more objectionable construction projects.

This state needs more housing, but not more luxury housing.
I could handle apartment towers if they were for teachers and retired folks and the rest of us earning less that middle incomes.
