Bikes and apartments are good. Cars and sprawl are bad. Build big apartment buildings in wealthy neighborhoods.

SB 79, which legalized hundreds of thousands of new infill homes within walking distance of transit, is perhaps the biggest environmental win of a generation, yet the old guard of environmentalism can't even recognize it as such.

Straight into my veins. 🏗️🏢🏡 #YIMBY
Trump: He wants to see no crime. He wants to see housing being built. He wants to see rents coming down. All the things that I agree with. We may disagree how we get there, the rent coming down, I think one of the things I really gleaned very much today, he'd like it see them come down, but building a lot of additional housing—that's the ultimate way. He agrees with that and so do I. When you read the newspapers, you don’t see that.

New drawing: Hire bike
ALT Cartoon showing street scene with lots of cars, some of which are on or blocking pavements. One bike is also parked on a pavement. A couple are saying ‘Look - someone’s left a hire bike on the pavement’.

This is not hard. I strongly support SB 79 and SB 677 to make it possible to build more housing in California. Aisha Wahab is my state senator, and I strongly urge her to support these bills as Senate Housing Chair.

Most people are not angry enough about forced car dependency for me personally. Like our cities are designed so you basically have to own expensive and dangerous heavy machinery and you're not mad??

is anyone else a part of the eras tour Vancouver group on Facebook where a ton of people are just now realizing they can’t go to Canada because they have a DUI or is it just me
I've lived in this apartment complex for 12 years and never had a package stolen until @OnTrac_Shipping placed a package directly on top of the box with the big red sign that says DO NOT PLACE PACKAGES HERE. Everyone else is smart enough to put them by the stairs 2 feet away.

If your city doesn't make it possible to build quality homes that are affordable to the middle class without public subsidies, then it will never be capable of providing enough affordable homes for its lower income residents no matter how much money you can throw at the problem.
