California Redistricting: What It Could Mean for CRE
California’s congressional redistricting has been making major headlines. It’s important to know how these changes could affect properties, tenants, and our advocacy work.
What You Need to Know
In November voters will decide on Proposition 50, which would redraw congressional districts. This is earlier than the usual post-Census process and seems to be in response to redistricting efforts in Texas.
This proposal only affects congressional seats. State Assembly, State Senate, and local districts remain unchanged.
New maps may give some CRE owners, managers, and tenants different members of Congress, which could affect advocacy, funding, and regulations.
