What’s Being Proposed
We’re not against building — we’re against blanket laws that let developers bypass community input. Every project deserves individual scrutiny. California’s housing laws need to be reshaped so communities have a real voice in how their neighborhoods grow.
The proposed development at 1446–1450 12th Street in Manhattan Beach is exactly what happens when these laws are applied without judgment.
The city may not require a public hearing — but that doesn’t mean you’re powerless. Here’s how to act right now.
