Governor Newsom cuts red tape, helping build more affordable housing

Published | Video Starts at 31:51

And here I'll conclude, and this is important and this may actually make some sense because talking about RENA goals and eight year, six cycles makes no sense to anybody, but this might. 682,000 units were constructed since 2019. 59% more residential construction than when we started, 59%. We've reduced the time to entitlement and permittings from 160 days to 68 days. That's a 57% reduction, 59% increase in the number of residential construction units and a 57% decline in the time to get these projects at the state level entitled. (31:51–32:02)
