California Senate Bill 50 was a proposed California bill that would have preempted local government control of land zoning near public transit stations and jobs centers. The bill would have also required,at minimum,four-plex residential zoning statewide. The bill was the successor to a similar bill introduced by state senator Scott Wiener in January 2018 as Senate Bill 827;both would have applied to areas within one-half-mile (0.8 km) of frequent transit corridors,including rail stations and bus routes. The bills were sponsored by California YIMBY,a pro-housing lobbying group while they were opposed by local governments,anti-gentrification activists,and suburban homeowners. The bills were written in response to an ongoing housing affordability crisis in California's largest urban areas.
