The 1916 vote sparked a wave of similar zoning laws across the country. More than a century later, the status quo is changing. Those flawed zoning practices of old are just now starting to get tossed out, thanks in part to Berkeley's 37-year-old mayor Jesse Arreguín.Berkeley is an affluent college town located just 14 miles from the center of San Francisco. While most of its residents are white, it's also home to fairly large Asian American and Hispanic populations. Median household income was $85,500 at the end of 2019 - 24% higher than the national average - but nearly one-fifth of its population lives in poverty. It's also endured a serious homelessness crisis for decades, making it a fitting proxy for the now-national <keyword id="11909226" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="housing-crisis" source="Orion">housing crisis</keyword>.One flashpoint in the debate on how to solve the crisis is a generational divide. The boomers who want to protect their property values are loath to allow denser development, and the millennials priced out of the market advocate a YIMBY, or "yes in my backyard," approach. The alternative is the NIMBY, or not in my backyard, status quo.Jesse Arreguín is such a millennial, but he also happens to be Berkeley's mayor, and a development-opposer turned YIMBY (although he told Insider he doesn't like to use the "pejorative" acronyms). He championed the contentious legislation that placed Berkeley among the few US cities to eliminate single-family zoning. The March vote kicked off an 18-month process that will overhaul the city's zoning, and shore up home supply.The mayor previously pushed back against efforts to develop larger apartment complexes in the city. Now he's among the most vocal supporters of denser housing and more residential development.The Berkeley overhaul comes as the entire country grapples with an unprecedented housing crisis. Home prices continue to surge at record pace just as <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/millennials-buying-homes-housing-shortage-roaring-20s-demand-2021-7">millennials reach their peak homebuying years</a>, the latest in a series of crushing economic blows to the generation. Most economists blame <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/housing-market-short-millions-homes-homebuilding-real-estate-nar-report-2021-6">the massive deficit of available homes</a> for the crisis. Yet Berkeley's zoning shift suggests the problem <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/california-single-family-zoning-housing-crisis-nimby-yimby-millennials-boomers-2021-8">is deeper than a lack of new units</a> - it's also about the land they're built on.Insider spoke with Arreguín about his change of heart, his city's housing needs, and how he aims to solve the affordability crisis. Here's a transcript of the interview, lightly edited for brevity.Insider's Ben Winck: Berkeley set the benchmark for exclusionary zoning around a century ago. How do you see that coexisting with its recent push for zoning reform? Mayor Jesse Arreguín of Berkeley, California: There are many things that Berkeley is first for, and many things I'm proud of that Berkeley has initiated. But unfortunately, in 1916, neighbors in the exclusive Elmwood district advocated for single-family zoning as a way to exclude a dance hall. It goes without saying that some of the people that would be patronized in the dance hall were principally African American and people of color.So, single-family zoning was established on a foundation of racism in Berkeley and it's the basis upon which our zoning is built. That was further exacerbated by racial covenants and racial discrimination. Lending and leasing of housing in our city really walled off parts of Berkeley to African Americans, Asian Americans, and working-class people. It created the foundation of racial exclusion that we are trying to undo now. As the city that initiated single-family zoning, and as a city that's very committed to addressing systemic racism, we have to take the lead in dismantling single-plan zoning and the foundation of racial exclusion that has affected generations of people in our city. Part of Berkeley's efforts is acknowledging that what happened was wrong and that we're learning from our past mistakes and we're trying to correct them. Winck: Your perspective on this has also shifted over time. You previously called an upzoning bill "<a href="https://eastbayexpress.com/arreguin-sees-the-light-on-the-density-1/">a declaration of war against our neighborhoods</a>," but more recently you've been very pro-housing and pro-development.What prompted that change of heart, and how has that changed your view of Berkeley's identity? Arreguín: I can't sit back and see more people being priced out of my city, more people experiencing homelessness, and say that the status quo is working. It's not working.The <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/san-francisco-homeless-population-increase-17-percent-2019-5">rise in homelessness</a> that we're seeing in Berkeley and the Bay Area is a direct result of our housing crisis. The fact that we do not have available and affordable housing is literally pushing people out onto the streets and pushing people out of our state. It's just wrong. We have a moral obligation to guarantee housing for all people. I do believe that housing is a human right.My perspective on the issue has definitely evolved over the years. For a long time I was skeptical about market-rate housing as a solution to addressing a broader affordability crisis.What I came to realize is, some of the challenges that we're seeing in the Bay Area are due to decades of underproduction of housing. The scarcity of housing is putting increased displacement pressure on people in Berkeley and throughout the Bay Area.We have to embrace housing for people of all income levels. The severity of the crisis is what really changed my perspective. Opposing new housing or putting restrictions on new developments stands in the way of progress.<div type="image" title="University of California Berkeley Campanile clock tower" height="1665" width="2220" msid="86137964" hostid="261"></div> Winck: This problem is a complicated one, but can be summarized by the NIMBY versus YIMBY debate. The former characterizes efforts to protect property values at the expense of new development, while the latter describes the movement for denser housing development championed by millennials and Gen Zers.What would you say to people who would call your former views NIMBY-esque? Arreguín: Well, I never really use those pejoratives, frankly. But it is true that I was very skeptical of market-rate housing and was very critical of new housing projects. I felt that we needed to focus our efforts on permanently affordable housing, strengthening renter protections, and preventing displacement.I didn't understand that, if you build more housing, that reduces displacement pressure because somebody who can afford a new apartment can move in there rather than pricing out an existing tenant.That's why I believe we need an all-of-the-above approach. We need to build housing for people at all income levels, from above-market to moderate-income, with a particular focus on workforce housing.We need to build entry-level ownership housing so that people that have lived in their apartments actually have an opportunity to own the home and can pass on that wealth to future generations.And obviously we need to address the needs of our low and extremely low-income people, including our homeless.My views have been shaped by my own lived experience. I am a lifelong tenant. I grew up in San Francisco and during the last Dot Com boom faced displacement. So I know what it's like to be evicted. I know the uncertainty of not knowing where you're going to live next.I'm also a millennial. Unless there's significant effort to build more housing, I'm never going to own a home in the community that I represent, with median home prices at $1.5 million. I'm never going to be able to afford that. I just think it's fundamentally wrong that we are literally pricing out future generations from being able to own a home.Winck: Pivoting back to the YIMBY movement, those pro-housing ideas have picked up steam over the last few years. To what degree do you support its ideas? And where do you think it could improve? Arreguín: I think it's critical that we hear from the voices of young people that cannot afford to live in Berkeley.Oftentimes the people that we hear in city council meetings around projects or around land-use issues are people that own their homes. And their voice does absolutely matter, but so does the voice of young people and tenants who are directly impacted by the shortage of affordable housing.It's extremely important to have a very vocal pro-housing constituency, certainly on the regional level. And there's an increasing awareness that the YIMBY movement needs to align with stronger rent control and tenant protections, and the need to understand the issues around gentrification and displacement.I don't see the tenant advocates and pro-housing advocates as in conflict. I think they have a lot in common. At the end of the day, it's about creating more homes and opportunities for people to live in our region while also keeping people living in our region here.I really subscribe to the three Ps: to produce new housing; preserve existing, naturally occurring, affordable housing; and protect existing tenants. Winck: Do you see any way to achieve those three Ps while retaining the status quo in residential zoning? Arreguín: As a state, estimates are that we need 3.5 million new homes. And we need 1 million or more new homes in the San Francisco Bay Area. So there's a really critical shortage.<div type="image" title="New housing Berkeley California" height="1666" width="2222" msid="86137966" hostid="261"></div>It is going to require that we look very thoughtfully and look hard at where can we upzone? Where can we build? It will take looking at converting old malls into housing projects. Looking at densifying our transit corridors and building around our transit stations. And yes, looking at adding fourplexes and density in our single-family residential neighborhoods.There's been a lot of fear-mongering over allowing fourplexes and multi-unit housing in residential neighborhoods. We're not talking about building skyscrapers in single-family residential neighborhoods. If you could go through the city of Berkeley, we have a diverse environment in our neighborhoods. We have single-family homes next to apartment buildings.And it could be done very thoughtfully while also adding needed housing. We think this is critical not just to correct generations of racial exclusion, but to address our regional housing goals and to make sure that we can create new opportunities for people to live in our city.I really see it as a moral imperative.

Meet the millennial mayor of Berkeley, who changed his mind on the housing crisis. 'I can't sit back and see more people being priced out of my city.'

"If an underpass was constructed such that a bus carrying mostly Black and Puerto Rican kids to a beach ... was designed too low for it to pass by, that ... obviously reflects <keyword id="11893536" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="racism" source="Orion">racism</keyword> that went into those design choices," he <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/press-briefings/2021/11/08/press-briefing-by-principal-deputy-press-secretary-karine-jean-pierre-and-secretary-of-transportation-pete-buttigieg/">said in a press conference</a>.Fox News host Tucker Carlson dedicated the final minutes of his <a href="https://twitter.com/TuckerCarlson/status/1457906567160995846?s=20">Monday night show</a> to mocking Buttigieg, saying the transportation secretary was one of the "dumbest people in the world" for claiming that inanimate infrastructure can be racist."Roads can't be racist. You can't build racism into a road," Carlson said. "They are inanimate objects. They are not alive. That seems obvious, but apparently, Pete Buttigieg didn't know it. Maybe he did know it, but he was afraid to say it."The exchange illustrates how the left and right can talk past each other on the issue of structural racism. The left sometimes employs the phrase to describe an impersonal force that results from bureaucratic decisions made decades ago. Carlson chooses not to tackle that head-on, instead reducing the phrase to a punchline.Buttigieg's example of a racist underpass harkens back to a story from "The Power Broker," a book by multiple Pulitzer-winning author Robert Caro that chronicles the career of New York political giant Robert Moses. The biography famously details how Moses worked to keep Black Americans from visiting Jones Beach on Long Island. His tool: road design.The politician pushed officials to build certain bridges too low for some buses to pass, according to Caro. By blocking roadways connected to low-income communities, Moses forced buses to take "discouragingly long and arduous" routes to reach the beach. Moses also vetoed a Long Island Rail Road proposal that would've linked Jones Beach to poorer neighborhoods.The roadways themselves might not be living, racist figures. But the people who established them were, and their decisions succeeded in advancing segregation.In St. Louis, the four-lane Delmar Boulevard is colloquially known as the Delmar Divide, as it effectively separates predominately white areas from majority-Black neighborhoods, according to analysis from <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2015/07/16/how-railroads-highways-and-other-man-made-lines-racially-divide-americas-cities/">The Washington Post</a>. Similar street-based divides can be seen in Chicago, Tampa, and Kansas City.Racist city planning doesn't even need to be tangible. In Berkeley, California, residential-zoning laws were created to exclude a dance hall that would've likely brought Black people into a majority-white neighborhood. While the laws were invisible, they created "a foundation of racism in Berkeley," the city's mayor Jesse Arreguin <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/housing-market-crisis-jesse-arreguin-mayor-berkeley-residential-zoning-homes-2021-9">told Insider in September</a>. Berkeley, in fact, was the earliest city to adopt exclusively single-family zoning in the early 1900s on the explicit grounds that it would exclude Blacks. As mayor, Arreguin has banned single-family zoning.While some infrastructure cash will go toward addressing such racist planning, it's a tiny fraction of the entire package. Only $1 billion was allocated to the "Reconnecting Communities" program that aims to remove discriminatory infrastructure. That's down from $20 billion in Democrats' initial proposal, and less than 0.1% of the total package.Still, the program is a promising start to addressing the country's racist legacy, Buttigieg said."I don't think we have anything to lose by confronting that simple reality. And I think we have everything to gain by acknowledging it and then dealing with it," he added.

<ul class="summary-list"><li>A new California law bans single-family-home <keyword id="11969511" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="zoning" source="Orion">zoning</keyword>, upending a century-old norm.</li><li>It's a battleground between pro-housing millennials and older Americans clutching to the status quo.</li><li>Replacing single-family homes with denser developments would chip away at the <keyword id="11916125" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="housing" source="Orion">housing</keyword> shortage - and eat into property values.</li></ul>California is the epicenter of America's housing crisis.For years, the Golden State just hasn't provided enough affordable homes, for the simple reason that it's just not dense enough. It's largely illegal to build anything that's not a single-family home in the state.That is changing.On Friday, Gov. Gavin Newsom <a href="https://www.gov.ca.gov/2021/09/16/governor-newsom-signs-historic-legislation-to-boost-californias-housing-supply-and-fight-the-housing-crisis/">signed into law</a> Senate Bill 9, which permits the construction of two-unit buildings on lots that have long been zoned for single-family homes. He also signed other progressive housing initiatives into law, too.At the root of the affordability problem is a lack of new housing, with construction not keeping up with population or jobs growth.According to <a href="https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/popest.html">Census Bureau population and housing unit estimates</a>, California's population grew 5.9% between 2010 and 2019, while the number of housing units only grew by 5.0%. That suggests not enough new homes for the Golden State's new residents:When you factor in the explosive job growth over the decade - a 22% increase in the <a href="https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/CANA#0">number of nonfarm payroll jobs between 2010 and 2019</a>, fueled by the ongoing concentration of the tech industry in places like Silicon Valley - the lack of new construction is even more apparent:The law's passage represents a colossal shift in attitudes toward housing and a potential breakthrough in the generational warfare over housing pitting the NIMBYs, or "not in my backyard" boomers against the <keyword id="11969509" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="yimby" source="Orion">YIMBY</keyword>, or "yes in my backyard" millennials.Before SB9, the millennial YIMBYs have taken L after L, as NIMBYs have protected their property values at the expense of nearly anyone trying to find an affordable home. Maybe the next generation of American housing could look very different.<h2>It began in Berkeley</h2>The YIMBYs' first key victory was in Berkeley, the heartland of NIMBYism, earlier this year. Over 100 years ago, in 1916, the Bay Area city was the first in the US to enact a single-family <keyword id="11969512" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="zoning-law" source="Orion">zoning law</keyword>. It did so on explicitly racist grounds, as whiter families could more easily afford single-family homes.Yet after decades of inaction, the Berkeley City Council voted unanimously last February to end single-family zoning. (Oregon is so far the only state to ban single-family zoning.)Berkeley's mayor, Jesse Arreguin, is himself a NIMBY-turned-YIMBY. As recently as 2018, he called an upzoning bill "a declaration of war against our neighborhoods," but a year later he told <a href="https://eastbayexpress.com/arreguin-sees-the-light-on-the-density-1/">East Bay Express</a> that his "thinking around the housing crisis has definitely changed."Earlier this month, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/housing-market-crisis-jesse-arreguin-mayor-berkeley-residential-zoning-homes-2021-9">Arreguin told Insider</a> that "single-family zoning was established on a foundation of racism in Berkeley and it's the basis upon which our zoning is built," and the city has to "to take the lead in dismantling single-plan zoning and the foundation of racial exclusion that has affected generations of people in our city." He also said he might never be able to afford to buy a home in the city he represents.But Berkeley was just a warmup.An analysis of SB9 by the Terner Center estimated it would lead to just 700,000 more units in the state, a sharp contrast with just around 100,000 new housing units each year, <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2021/08/26/business/california-duplex-senate-bill-9.html?searchResultPosition=1">The New York Times reports</a>.Ali Wolf, chief economist at housing analytics firm Zonda, told Insider that California will probably remain undersupplied for another decade, "so there will be people who will be very excited about the zoning changes. I, for one, am in support of it."Homeowners and local officials have long cheered zoning as a way to protect property values and ensure neighborhoods don't become too densely populated, but YIMBYs argue that limiting home supply leads to a surge in prices and several related issues, such as supercommuting and mass migrations to smaller cities. During the pandemic, the Bay Area's housing crisis saw tech workers <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/austin-real-estate-texas-home-prices-housing-market-forecast-2021-8">flood into cities such as Austin</a> and Denver, driving prices up there.The YIMBY movement allows millennials and Gen Zers to tackle several economic problems at once, because improving home affordability can have knock-on effects throughout the US <keyword id="11893570" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="economy" source="Orion">economy</keyword>. Greater residential density would be more energy-efficient, thus helping curb climate change. It would improve congestion by funneling more travel to public transit and begin to address gentrification by keeping prices at sustainable levels.Zoning, then, sits at the center of some of millennials' biggest economic concerns, and SB9 is a major development in the long-running <keyword id="11969508" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="nimby" source="Orion">NIMBY</keyword> wars.

Millennials just scored a housing victory over boomers in the California legislature. The fight to solve America's affordability crisis is on.
