We've given Woodland a D for its very restrictive approach to the implementation of SB 9, which includes excessive regulations.
SB 9 is a state bill that was created to address California's housing crisis. It allows Californians more flexibility with their urban property than they've ever had before.

More about
Woodland
Residents of this Yolo County suburb value their town’s abundance of parks, laid-back culture, and convenient proximity to both the Sacramento International Airport and the UC Davis campus. Visitors enjoy attending the town’s many annual festivals (including the California Honey Festival, Yolo Brewfest, and the One Love One Heart Reggae Festival), thrill-seeking at Velocity Island Park, and admiring the historic Woodland Public Library and Rose Garden. Though not as steep as some other parts of the state, housing prices in Woodland continue to climb. We’re confident SB 9 can help by increasing the inventory of affordable homes across California.
