OK i read SB 79 amendments in full. It separates counties with 15+ rail stops. 15+ stops allows homes up to 6/7 stories within 0.5/ 0.25 miles of a station If under 15 rail stops, its only 4/5 stories 0.5/0.25 mi from a station. Cities can introduce their own plans if its equal in capacity to SB 79

So its NOT a blanket exemption for counties with under 15 rail stops. Correcting that here.

Some might think the local govt rezoning opt out could be a poison pill (such as mandating 100% affordable etc) but actually i think that's fine because under SB 423 if you dont build any homes all that gets thrown out.
