California 's Proposition 33 gives voters the option of repealing all state-level limitations on rent control.

The implications of a "yes" vote would be dire for new housing supply.

Prop. 33 would repeal Costa-Hawkins in its entirety and give local governments free rein to adopt whatever rent control policies they want.

California housing law features a "builder's remedy" which allows developers to build housing developments that are larger than what local zoning codes allow.

New Jersey lawmakers have found their latest scapegoat for high housing costs.
