Governor Newsom just signed SB 79 into law, and it will go into effect July 1, 2026.
1. Will existing and under development, low density neighborhoods pushback in court?
2. Will the passage of SB 79 be helpful or a headwind to the expansion of ACE and other mass transit proposals and expansions throughout the Bay Area and the rest of California?
Protesters rally against California Senate bill that increases housing density near transit hubs

In 2011, an organization called
“Keep BART on 580” collected signatures to stop the downtown Livermore BART extension.
If BART had been routed through downtown Livermore, in 2026 it would be subject to SB 79, and likely declared a “transit hub”, that would override local planning in favor of 6+ story high density housing. Every ACE train station area however, will likely be subject to SB 79 high density housing with perhaps some exceptions.
What does this have to do with LLNL (or LANL)? Why.is it posted here?

If your are a LLNL employee or a LLNL retiree, topics like earthquakes, CA FAIR rate hikes, and SB 79 “upzoning”, are all relevant topics because they may impact us financially.
There is a bit of real estate along old 1st street, a few shops along that area have closed down. Livermore can take those shops and do eminent domain on the rest and put up hi-density housing. It could be the 21st century version of Tubsville. No need for parking, the residents have the transit hub right next to them and they can walk to downtown for their dining.
“What does this have to do with LLNL” one word housing, rather the current lack of. Both LLNL and LANL are experiencing issues getting their workforce built back up and housing is a major concern with the younger generation. I am glad you got yours…. Let me guess UC pension as well.
