California voters to decide on repeal of anti-public housing measure in 2024

Abstract

Article 34, which passed in 1950, stymied low-income housing construction in California for decades and continues today to add to the cost and uncertainty of building affordable housing. Those behind repealing Article 34 argue it’s a racist relic that needs repeal. The push to repeal is not a sure success. It will be the fourth time lawmakers have tried to remove or weaken the provision. The most recent attempt to remove the provision was in 1993 in 1993. The last attempt toremove the provision in 1993 was to remove it was in 1992. The campaign to remove and remove the measure was to weaken it was to keep it in place for the 2024 ballot. ‘Where are we at this juncture, in this political climate? It's really a political climate?' says one group that expects to be involved is the California Assn.
