Governor Newsom has a historic opportunity to fix the policy roots of California's housing crisis. Sign SB 79!
@mnolangray What do you think our chances are that Newsom signs?
no this won't fix it. It will make it a little better, but there are many many other policies that reduce construction (inclusionary zoning, etc). Or look at the way the "single staircase" will was effectively killed by adding costly riders. This is necessary but not sufficient condition.
@mnolangray Despite not living in CA this would all but guarantee a vote from me in a presidential election
@mnolangray Californias are NOT falling for your over the top statements anymore. Thanks to community members like S. Pratt. Everyone knows what you guys are reallly up to. The Governor will do the right thing by vetoing SB 79. Home Rule and Local Control are the roots of CA. It works.
@mnolangray SB79 is NOT the solution. It is Unconstitutional as mandates are supposed to be reimbursed by the State and in deficit the State is exempting itself while forcing on local agencies which may also be in deficit.
@mnolangray And he will fuck it up. x.com/i/broadcasts/1…
@mnolangray All talk. Newsom is incompetent! @GavinNewsom
@mnolangray This seems like a great act forward. Building transit oriented development is how communities and city economic centers form, as they did 100 years ago with the railroads. Bills like this should be more normalized
@mnolangray He doesn’t want to. Keeping policy issues makes it easier for land grabs.
@mnolangray Did the California Yimby organization ghost write this for you . . .
@mnolangray California housing crisis could single-handedly be fixed by reversing prop 13 and bringing all properties taxable value up to market value. That, and forbidding the construction of any new low income housing.
@mnolangray Lols why would anyone want to live by a loud rail system? Are you that out of touch you’ve never actually lived by the rails??
@mnolangray Because everyone wants to have 9 story buildings lining their cities roads AND be close enough to ride punloc transit that isn’t safe because Weiner wants to defund police and soft on criminals.
@mnolangray It's a gift to transit opponents: building transit will result in upzoning, so locals will oppose new transit to avoid upzoning. Goodbye D line to Santa Monica, BART to Livermore, San Diego Purple Line, etc.
