"Minneapolis is no closer to being a beacon of affordability than it was before upzoning even started. In fact, we’re farther from achieving it..." **Important to review the data where this has been implemented before upzoning an entire state as diverse as CA 😱 @Asm_Nazarian

As it says, wildly unpopular! Why? Because they don't really make much logical sense and only hurt the progress towards more affordable housing. 48hills.org/2021/08/yimby-ho… @AsmCottie @AsmJamesRamos @BauerKahan
Listening 2 .@PeterDiamandis talk about UNDERpopulation, a problem we'll face in the US soon. Peter, say more → What about CA & what u recommend re all this proposed upzoning & end of single family communities 2 create density everywhere? Needed?

Worth watching @CBSSunday ... ff to the part about the water situation in California and how our state was never meant to house so many. Begs questions re: building anything in the state? Thoughts? youtube.com/watch?v=K9hUNufK…
@KevinKileyCA isn't this story about your district? Is El Dorado "SB 9" country? This article suggests not.
"Locals say that they want to maintain their region’s underdeveloped aura, and fear that newcomers are changing that character. #noonsb9 latimes.com/california/story…
Thank you @CalCities for looking out for the betterment of California on this one. .@KevinKileyCA plz join the wise ones! 🦉 #vision #BetterOptions #protectcommunities #no2homogenizedCali

"Moving homes out of the Wildlands-Urban Interface, increasing density in existing COMMERCIAL cores, adding GENTLE density in areas NOT in the WUI, & embracing manufactured housing as an affordable-by-design approach.” ... is the approach needed. Agree?

Let's ensure we continue with videoconferencing options at all meetings so we support the extraordinary public participation we've seen since Covid. Let's keep cars off the roads & step into the future. State, City Councils, School Boards must always now provide a hybrid option.
As we celebrate #Juneteenth, let’s not forget the important work that remains in the fight for equality, including full, open access to the voting booth.
Yes let's do something more clever, we've always had varying zoning in California. Careful planning always pays off. @luzreyesmartin, @DavidChiu, @KevinMcCartyCA
#SB9 and #SB10 - why does Facebook get to decide what kind of community you get to live in? No to developer giveaways and gentrification! @luzreyesmartin @DavidChiu @KevinMcCartyCA

When a federal judge overturns our assault weapon ban on #GunViolenceAwarenessDay, it’s a perfect example of why we must be unrelenting in our pursuit of common-sense gun safety laws & why elections matter. nytimes.com/2021/06/05/us/ca…
An issue with #sb9 is that it’s just not all that clever or innovative. It’s a copycat form another state where it’s not really worked. Let’s challenge Sacramento to create affordable housing with a win-win concept. We don’t need to destroy what’s right in order to build more.
The outcry has also gotten louder among local governments, with more 100 cities now formally opposed to the bill, including Palo Alto, Lafayette, Orinda, Santa Clara and Rohnert Park.
