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.

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 personally support the California Forever project because it focuses on creating affordable housing and expanding access to clean energy, which are both crucial for building a more sustainable and inclusive community. The idea of living in a place that prioritizes environmental responsibility, economic opportunity, and well-planned urban development is very appealing to me. I would love to move there in the future and be part of a community that values innovation, sustainability, and a high quality of life

I believe in solving California's current problems with lack of housing, housing availability, small business support, and crime due to lack of economic opportunities/joblessness through creating a small city/town mixed use live/work/retail area.

Let's support this and ensure California continues to be the pioneer in building the future of the world.

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.

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.

As the President of the National Town Builders Association I am pleased to see this kind of urban planning that looks to the past for inspiration and to the future for progress. Designing walkable, sustainable, complete neighborhoods and towns is the only real way to get us out of our cars while remarkably improving a sense of community. Humans thrive and flourish when the built environment supports human connectivity, personal safety, and health and wellness. The principles and the people behind the planning of California Forever are both thoughtful and strategic. As a 17 year resident of California prior to relocating for professional reasons, I am excited to see what this project will do for this area and its influence on the country.
