Despite those findings, often showing 60 percent or more in favor, the rebellion against those laws has a decent chance of success.
It’s a matter of what’s at stake and who will eventually vote on the potential landmark initiative to cancel out the new laws where they conflict with local land use ballot measures passed in many cities and counties.
Those surveys often don’t distinguish likely voters from residents who aren’t even registered to vote. Nor do they note whose life savings are invested in their homes and who is now renting. They also do not mention the changes already wrought by the new housing laws in many once-bucolic neighborhoods.
This is where things begin to look optimistic for the measure. A new study from the UC Berkeley Institute of Governmental Studies reveals that the vast majority of California’s most regular voters have a large stake in matters of preserving neighborhood character and ambiance. Out of that 39 percent, seven of 10 are 50 or older and seven of 10 are also white. Fully 68 percent of this cohort own their homes and 55 percent are college graduates.
