A new berkeleyigs survey has revealed broad backing across party lines, demographic groups and all regions in California for restricting housing growth in wildfire zones.

The survey revealed broad backing across party lines, demographic groups and all regions in California for restricting growth in wildfire zones. Nearly 85% of Democrats support doing so compared with 57% of Republicans and 72% of independent voters. Last year Ken Pimlott, the recently retired head of the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, said that government should consider stopping home building in threatened communities because of the substantial loss of property and lives."There's something that is truly Californian about the wilderness and the wild and pioneering spirit," Newsom said."I'm not advocating for no” building.
“This is an issue where there’s concentrated very powerful interests that have a lot to lose by changing the rules,” he said. The Berkeley poll also examined other housing issues and found less consensus among voters than that of limiting growth in wildfire areas. The survey offered respondents three proposed solutions for making housing more affordable: offering more tax breaks or subsidies for lower and middle-income homebuyers; allowing more apartment or condominium construction along mass transit routes; or increasing the share of apartments with rent control.
