Scott Wiener did not create the builder’s remedy; it was created in 1990 and rediscovered by Chris Elmendorf https://twitter.com/CSElmendorf/status/1474286606982934528 https://escholarship.org/uc/item/38x5760j. But Wiener did make the builder’s remedy apply to more jurisdictions by increasing the RHNA quota (SB 828).
