California is set to move forward with SB 79, a bill that would allow for the construction of denser, multifamily housing near major train stations and rapid bus lines. The legislation aims to alleviate housing shortages by streamlining permissions for building in transit-rich areas. This aligns with California's broader strategy to improve public transport access while addressing housing needs. Governor Gavin Newsom is expected to review and potentially approve this legislation soon.
