Her work draws on interviews with licensed general contractors, architects, and city planning staff across San Jose, Oakland, and the Peninsula. Raven coordinates contributors across construction, design, and permitting specialties to keep coverage current with California evolving housing laws, including SB-9, AB-68, and the expanding framework around JADUs and lot splits.
