Episode Details

California Forever is demanding fast-tracked housing approvals to make their big industrial projects—like the Solano Shipyard and Foundry—actually happen, arguing that without residential development, the jobs won’t materialize. They highlight California’s lack of public funding for essential infrastructure like water and sewer, forcing private investment only if the industrial sites are paired with housing. With Solano County building fewer than 1,000 homes annually for nearly two decades, they warn that no major employer will move in without a solid housing plan—or else prices soar and shortages worsen. Citing the long-undeveloped Lambie Industrial Park and comparing it to the integrated Puget Sound Naval Shipyard, they stress that mixed-use neighborhoods with diverse housing options are non-negotiable for attracting big employers. Without full approval of the Suisun Expansion Plan—including housing—their entire vision for economic growth collapses.
