In this episode of Commercial Real Estate Millionaires, we unpack two groundbreaking California legislative decisions that signal a rare win for both real estate investors and communities battling housing shortages. The defeat of AB1157 (rent control expansion) and the passage of SB79 (transit-oriented upzoning) mark a dramatic shift in housing policy—one that preserves rental income upside while unlocking development potential near transit zones.
If you’ve ever hesitated to invest in California because of restrictive regulations, this may be your green light.
