Livable California

Livable California is a NIMBY group in California known for advocating against increased housing supply and for local control.^[1]^[2]^[3] The organization disputes the existence of the California housing shortage.^[4] The organization was founded by Marin County-based activist Susan Kirsch.^[2]^[5]

Livable California was founded in 2018 by Marin County-based activist and former teacher Susan Kirsch^[6] and former oil and gas executive Rick Hall of San Francisco.^[2]^[7] They organized in opposition to Senator Scott Wiener’s housing development bill SB 827, helping to defeat it.^[2] The group also opposed subsequent iterations of the bill, such as SB 50, which would permit fourplexes in most neighborhoods exclusively zoned for single-family housing and mid-rises near public transit stations.^[7]^[8]

Susan Kirsch started in anti-housing activism when she successfully prevented a 20-unit apartment building in her neighborhood.^[5] Kirsch self-describes as a proponent for "slow growth",^[5]^[6] and disputes that California is experiencing a housing crisis.^[2] Other members of Livable California describe themselves as proponents for "sensible" development, "smart growth" or "preservationists".^[2] What unifies Livable California members is opposition to high-density housing development^[2] and support for single-family-exclusive zoning.^[7]

Susan Kirsch left the board of Livable California in 2019.^[5]
