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’m a Brentwood, California resident and fully support this initiative and improving the lives of our neighbors in Solano County.

I’m also very excited for the fact that this would greatly help the local communities and the next generation in the area to have access to job opportunities.

I myself have been working in Silicon Valley tech for the last 10 years and have realized how important it is for us to keep expanding the region to bring opportunities for the generations to come and have access to the American Dream.

I am also a real-estate investor in the far east bay region which is the other reason why this project excites me a lot.

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.

Walkable communities are essential, to react to climate change, build neighborhood connections and personalize business. And it’s time California had affordable housing. California Forever brings these priorities together so I strongly support the initiative.
