California voters reject 2 housing-affordability measures

By Megan Myscofski

Californians voted on two housing-related measures Tuesday — Propositions 5 and 33 — and rejected both, according to respective Associated Press race calls. Still, many voters cited affordability as a major issue in the state. 

Proposition 33 would’ve rolled back state-wide restrictions on rent control. Proposition 5 would’ve made it easier for local governments to approve bonds for affordable housing, among other projects. 

Mary-Beth Moylan is a law professor at the University of the Pacific. She said the rejection is a sign voters think lawmakers should solve the problem. 

“Maybe the messaging is — we want there to be changes, we want there to be more affordable housing,” she said. “But we want the Legislature to figure out how to do it on its own and not involve the voters.”

But she added that could be bad news for local officials tasked with addressing affordability in their communities. 

“The fact that these two measures didn't pass means that those people will not have, really, the tools that they need to get anything done,” she said. 

Moylan said attack ads probably played a large part in the no votes, too. 

“There were effective campaigns that had people not really understanding what both of them would do and what the consequences of them would be,” she said. 

She also said that when voters don’t understand a measure, they tend to vote it down. 

“Which I'm not saying is a bad thing,” she added. “Because we probably shouldn't be voting for things that we don't understand.” 

Either way, Moylan said that voters didn’t see these as viable solutions to California’s housing affordability problem.

California voters pass $10B bond measure funding environmental projects

By Manola Secaira

California voters passed Proposition 4, according to a race call by the Associated Press. About 58% of voters statewide supported the measure that will issue $10 billion in bonds for climate-related projects. 

The money will fund a variety of projects, including those that boost access to safe drinking water, wildfire prevention and the protection of lands and communities in California. 

“The way that Prop 4 was designed to focus on prevention and preparedness really represents  a pivotal shift away from just reacting to climate change,” said Guillermo Rodriguez, the California state director for the conservation nonprofit Trust for Public Land.

Rodriguez said he sees Proposition 4’s passage as evidence of increased voter interest in projects that tackle climate change impacts. 

“The voters of California are willing to make these kinds of significant investments in the future because I think we're all being impacted by climate change,” he said. 

He says the measure will help his nonprofit’s efforts to make public lands more accessible. The measure promises $700 million toward expanding and renovating local and state parks. 

Ariana Rickard, the public policy and funding program manager for the conservation nonprofit Sonoma Land Trust, said she’s expecting 2025 to be another deficit year for California’s budget. This has previously meant slashed funding for environmental projects. 

But she said this money ensures nonprofits who rely on state funding from agencies like the Wildlife Conservation Board — which will receive funding from the measure — can continue their work regardless of budget cuts.  

“We're really thrilled because it means that our projects can go forward,” Rickard said. “There's not going to be added delays to the timeline because we have that reassurance that that funding will be there.”
