Cupertino is being sued for violating state law for not rezoning for housing. In fact, Cupertino spent funds allocated for affordable housing on lawyers to fight against affordable housing.

Thank Scott Weiner for the builder’s remedy.

Scott Wiener did not create the builder’s remedy; it was created in 1990 and rediscovered by Chris Elmendorf https://twitter.com/CSElmendorf/status/1474286606982934528 https://escholarship.org/uc/item/38x5760j. But Wiener did make the builder’s remedy apply to more jurisdictions by increasing the RHNA quota (SB 828).
