The logical move would seem to be to submit lots of proposals for super tall massive ugly developments on Wednesday. No need to actually have the cash arranged to build them. Propose 100 floor tiny apartments everywhere.

Then, they get approved.

Then the city gets it's zoning laws in place and regrets the approval of your massive ugly development.

But then you go to the city with an offer... Send in a new, more reasonable plan. If they approve the new plan, great. If they don't, you're gonna build what they originally approved, and they hate.



This isn't far off from how it works. You can get prelim approval. But I believe you need to have final submittal 6 months later.


It’s this type of poor-faith discourse that has led to some of the, “California-bad”, sentiment you see in the news.

Same energy as states who pay for their homeless to come to California and then blast hit pieces about how terrible California is to live in.
