Your Voice.

Your Neighborhood.

Our Neighborhood Voices.

California does not need more towers casting shadows on working neighborhoods.

Sacramento’s rigid housing laws have forced congestion and ruin communities.

OUR NEIGHBORHOOD VOICES will solve the BIG problem with a BIG solution.

We are a long-term solution, to a long-term problem.

We are a Statewide ballot initiative.

We are grassroots, local, community driven.

Statewide Initiative

We are working towards a citizen-led solution to solve Sacramento’s overreach and control.

In the 1970s, Sacramento continuously stepped on local cities and property owners. They fought back with Proposition 13, which held property taxes back from rising and Proposition 2o, which created the Coastal Commission.

Grassroots Organization

Cities, organizations, elected leaders, residents, and communities members from across California have joined to support us.

We are non-partisan, solution oriented problem solvers. See who we are and who has endorsed us.

Educational Movement

Sacramento passes dozens of new State laws every year that destroy our cities ability to plan and zone for housing, jobs, and parks. They are born from false narratives that lobbyists in Sacramento created.

They have led to the destruction of our cities choices on development. Today, housing prices are crashing, sales are plummeting.

The Solution is Simple -take back the control.

Why a ballot initiative?

Sacramento has failed. There are two main weapons in the assault on California’s neighborhoods: New laws and new regulations.

Sacramento lawmakers have passed over 400 laws in the last eight years alone, stripping away local control over development and allowing large developers to bypass nearly all local rules. That’s right — over 400 laws! These laws supersede local authority almost entirely. There is literally nothing cities can do.

The benefits and solutions are simply outlined below.

  • 400 laws in just the last eight years that take away local decision making in zoning are returned to cities. They can choose if they want to adopt these laws or not. What have those 400 laws done?

    Build luxury homes.

  • We put affordable housing first. Our State-wide initiative put the development of affordable housing as a priority. How much luxury housing has been produced by the wealth Wall Street Investors?

    They haven’t done any meaningful amount.

  • Unfortunately, every single grassroots effort to push back has failed. Sacramento bulldozes (literally) local opposition, and overturns the rare court win with new laws. Even electing new legislators hasn’t worked. In fact, the laws keep getting worse every year.

    For every battle that is won, there are 100 new State laws destroying your neighborhood.

  • Lawsuits are draining. Some lawsuits are winners, others are losers. Ultimately, filing a lawsuit is often fruitless. When there is a win against a recently passed State law, the Legislators merely update the broken part. When a project is successful, the underlying laws remain in place.

    Politics is expensive, the law is long term.

    Every lawsuit costs hundreds of thousands of dollars, and fails; the money is better spent on a statewide initiative.
