California Housing Caps Won't Go Away

"When voters in Tracy approved an annual "cap" on new housing construction last November, it was the first time since the late 1980s that a California municipality enacted this venerable ? yet controversial ? method of restricting growth. The growth management tool of choice these days seems to be the growth boundary, not the growth cap ? a decision to focus on geography, not quantity. Yet in the last couple of years, a number of cities have voted to renew their housing caps for another 10 years or longer."
