Huge news: over the objections of the chair, #SB79, Scott Wiener's impactful new housing bill to upzone around public transit stations, has PASSED it's first committee hearing! Major win for housing advocates today!

"I don't think duplexes are pushing people out of California, I think the high cost of housing is what's pushing people out." Strong rebuttal from Senator Scott Wiener just now to a Republican colleague claiming people are fleeing California due to allowing duplexes in single-family neighborhoods

Folks, it’s Judgement Day here in the California Senate Housing Committee! Several major housing bills are up, including #SB79 -- Scott Wiener’s new bill to upzone near major transit stops. Does the CA Senate care about solving our housing crisis? We're about to find out!

Today's a Good Day for Gavin Newsom to prove he's presidential material and endorse the major housing bills headed to committee in the state senate. He claims he gets it on Ezra Klein's podcast so now's the time to prove himself.

CA's Sen. Housing Committee has posted bill analyses (committee reports) for @scottwiener.bsky.social 's "plain bagel" upzoning bills. Sad to report that the abundance drumbeat either was not heard by the staffers who wrote them or the chair who told the staffers what to write. 1/6

Katie Porter's new piece on housing is the best I've seen from a California gubernatorial candidate! ✅ Making construction faster & cheaper ✅ Creating certainty in the building process ✅ Streamlining permitting "The only way out of our housing crisis is to build a whole lot more housing.” 🔥🔥🔥

"Just following orders" is literal Nazi shit, did none of you people pay attention in history class?

what exactly would be different? Garcia wasn't given a hearing or formal deportation hearings. Ignored and flouted habeas requests. What would stop them from claiming a citizen is a non-citizen without there being any procedure of due process? (Nothing)

Absolutely huge that Bill McKibben is giving a keynote at YIMBYTown this year! Frankly: you cannot be an impactful climate or conservation advocate without also zealously fighting for infill housing. Can't wait to hear Bill's perspective on aligning the housing and environmental movements!
