Issues

Growth controls, frivolous and abusive lawsuits, excessive regulations and runaway fees are killing housing production in California and making homes less affordable.  California's policy makers have it in their power to change things - to make housing more plentiful and affordable.  Supported by the practice and experience of its members, it's CBIA's commitment to pursue and push for those changes.
