We support California Forever.

The Golden State is in a rough way. But we believe that our best days lie ahead. When faced with housing shortages in the past, our leaders took bold actions to increase the supply of new housing. For this reason, California YIMBY is proud to support … a project that will—at full build-out—provide homes for as many as 400,000 Californians and provide a template for sustainable growth.

The California Forever project is a great idea. The implementation will be very tricky, but there’s a big opportunity here.

I am optimistic about California Forever. Everything I’ve seen and read so far looks like what the New Urbanists have been trying to get on the ground for 40 years. Including leveling the playing field so urbanism can get permitted as easily as sprawl.

As a lifelong resident of Rio Vista and business owner in this region, I’ve always believed in the potential of Solano County, and the California Forever project is a game-changer for our community. I fully support this project – it’s an opportunity we cannot afford to miss.

Bill Dutra Executive Chairman, Dutra Group

The California Forever project is a monumental endeavor that will make a major contribution to solving California’s housing crisis, create 12,000 jobs during the construction phase, and create over 50,000 permanent jobs by 2040. This project takes California back to what made our state great – big, bold, daring endeavors that redefined our economy and made the California Dream possible for generations of Californians. We are proud to support California Forever.

California Building Industry Association

The California Forever project represents a monumental opportunity for regional growth and development. The construction phase alone would bring $2.4 billion of investment and over 12,000 jobs to Solano County, with over 50,000 jobs supported from 2040 onwards. This project would create generational employment, for workers who apprentice, work, and retire on this project, with hopefully many of them living in the new community. Our company has spent the last 110 years building a better California, including numerous projects in Solano County, a place that many of our employees call home. We would be proud to do our part in bringing this visionary project to life.

I learned about the project via the Navy; I see opportunity to reindustrialize, while employing americans at a more advanced level in the trades- jobs that not only require mechanical skills but critical thinking. I work in the nexus between technology, capital, national security and ensuring we are strong and relevant for the next generation.

California Forever is needlessly “right-coded” but in reality, it is the very essence of American and Californian optimism–that our best days are ahead of us, waiting to be built.

This—plus, California has some of the lowest per-capita emissions (mild climate) and highest per-capita GDP of any state. California Forever would be good for the planet and the economy by letting more people live in the state.

Please make this happen! California needs cities with better urban planning and land use! Set the example for others to follow with high and medium density mixed use zoning that allows people to use their legs instead of separating everyone into dangerous individual vehicles.

California is one of the most beautiful and desirable places on earth. It’s also the world’s innovation hub. It’s time to build more homes and grow California. I’m also really excited to see a pedestrian and bike first American city get built. We need more of that.
