Yep. Oregon has something similar in Measures 5 & 50, and it distorts our market as well.

I follow CA housing politics fairly closely because, as you point out, they are important in Oregon too. It has been really dismaying to see them consistently fail to pass the kinds of reform they need.

I think Oregon has done better than California in this regard, hasn't it, with the ban on single-family zoning?

Yes we have! HB 2001. One of my prouder YIMBY moments was turning out a bunch of people to speak with our state representative in support, on a weekday morning.

Prop 15 and Prop 19 are on the ballot. I think those would reduce market distortions if they pass.
