One of the few things they've done that actually makes sense. My own place of work has had Covid sweep right through it, probably at least partly because the sick leave our company used to offer went away. So the only way to get paid while you are away is to use up PTO, and we only get 20 hours a quarter, and work 10 hour days. This doesn't actually encourage people to stay home if they feel sick, or to run out and get tested to see if they actually have the plague or just a common cold or flu.

Since the passing of SB9, which was intended to make it easier to build more homes and solve some of California's extremely housing shortage, cities are coming up with remarkably innovative local laws that prevent SB9 from applying. One of the most expensive and exclusive towns decided that maybe mountain lions might want to move in, and therefore they couldn't have dem poor folks trashing the place up and making it less accessible for underprivileged cougars. Another allowed people to build houses all they want, but passed a law preventing any new water meters from being installed to conserve water, so hope nobody moving into those new homes ever wants a drink or a shower. A third required all new homes to be extensively examined and designed by expensive engineers first to make sure your new house can't throw any shade on a neighbor's solar panels (I'd approve of this in theory if Cali also didn't, as I've said before, do everything they could to make Solar Panels non-viable, and the timing is just a wee bit suspicious). Los Altos required that new construction be exactly 800 square feet (SB9 including wording saying 800 square foot houses could be exempted as a guideline), not a 801 nor 799, exactly 800 square feet, and never more than 1 story causing it's limitations to be so severe nobody could work within it. Cupertino banned decks, basements, and condo conversions to make it harder for proposed designs to get through.
