AB 906 – Upzoning Where It Matters

AB 906 ensures that zoning for higher-density housing happens in higher-income, historically exclusionary neighborhoods—not just in already dense or lower-income areas. It’s a push for equity and opportunity across every community.

This bill addresses a core issue in housing policy: the uneven distribution of zoning burdens. By requiring a “meaningful amount” of rezoning in wealthier areas, AB 906 helps expand access to opportunity, shorten commutes, and foster more inclusive neighborhoods.
