California's legislature started 2021 with over 100 housing bills. About half are still active. The rest may return next year, or in rare cases, later this year as a gut-and-amend of an unrelated bill. Details in thread & at alfredtwu.medium.com/2021-californi… PDF at dropbox.com/s/zdhhg3qf495c… 
Wildfires and earthquake preparedness: the direction we're going in is hardening existing buildings, and tougher codes for new buildings. SB12, SB63, and AB1329 are still active.
Coastal zones: the remaining active bill is #AB500 to encourage housing near coast, especially if affordable and/or near transit. leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billText…

The fires are happening because we had a record-breaking heatwave due to climate change which is increasing the frequency, severity, and duration of extreme heat and warm nights + unusually muggy air, leading to the lightning storms that started fires
