More high-rises could be coming to several California cities under housing density bill

As someone deeply invested in Santa Monica real estate, I’m always watching for changes that could impact our communities. There’s a new bill on the table that could dramatically reshape the skyline in several major California cities, including those with populations over 400,000 and strong public transit networks. If passed, this legislation would allow residential buildings between 150 and 450 feet tall to rise near transit hubs. For those of us who care about how our neighborhoods grow—and how that growth meets the needs of people who live and work here—this proposal is worth keeping an eye on. My approach has always been to stay accessible and attentive, making sure you have the information you need to navigate shifts like these.
