Episode 10 (Housing Laws Series) - SB79 - Nine-Stories Tall and Right Next Door
In Episode 9, we talked about the wave of housing laws already reshaping California—and the bigger question of where growth should go. This week, we’re stepping into what happens when one of those laws, SB 79, lands right at your doorstep. This isn’t just a professional discussion for us—both Katie and Arlene are homeowners in neighborhoods that could be directly impacted. In Episode 10 of Architecting in Stilettos, we’re unpacking what SB 79 really means, not just as architects or potential developers, but as people who live on these streets too. We’re not here to panic or preach—we’re here to talk honestly about density, design, and how neighborhoods adapt when the rules change. To help keep all of this in context, we’re also including a cheat-sheet worksheet that places these newer laws alongside previously approved housing legislation—so it’s easier to keep the facts straight and see how different rules can be stacked for maximum impact on real sites. View our worksheet here: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/exy4parf8eginthwa1kw7/2025-CA_Housing_Laws_Cheat_Sheet_amkSTUDIO.pdf?rlkey=n6lf749vvki6w6489y33686us&dl=0

Episode 9 (Housing Laws Series) - California’s Housing Reset: What Just Happened?
California didn’t just pass a housing bill — it passed nearly 30 of them. And the ripple effects are already showing up in our neighborhoods. In Episode 9 of Architecting in Stilettos, we break down what actually changed — from SB 9 lot splits and parking-free housing under AB 2097, to CEQA reform with AB 130 and small-lot development under SB 684 and SB 1123. This isn’t an anti-housing rant or a neighborhood panic button.It’s a clear-headed look at where California is headed — and the bigger question of where growth should really go.
