After SB 9 had already cleared the state Senate and passed all Assembly policy committees, CD 3's Suzie Price, writing as an individul Councilmember, sent a June 23 letter that stopped short of opposing SB 9 but voiced concerns and suggested that Sacramento lawmakers make unspecified amendments giving LB City Hall greater autonomy on development projects.

Price's letter contended that the City of Long Beach has made "significant, good faith progress to improve housing policies with the goal with the goal of creating an environment conducive to more housing development but does so in a way that considers the unique local circumstances and environment of our city." It requests "that you [state lawmakers] consider appropriate changes to SB 9 with the intention of eliminating unintended consequences that harm communities where good faith and meaningful progress is being made on housing. Perhaps one incentive for cities that are making progress would be would be to allow more autonomy and discretion for future development projects...I defer to you on how that balance could be reached but I hope you will consider something along those lines as the discussion moves forward."
