That feeling when the Governor signs your bill allowing more homes near public transit & you then walk from your 39-unit apartment building to get on the subway. Housing + transit = perfect combo

And we’re not slowing down.
BREAKING: @GavinNewsom SIGNS #SB79, allowing denser housing near transit. From upzoning to streamlining to CEQA exempting, the biggest housing year I've seen in 10+ years covering Sacramento https://t.co/hx3rBFBfJu

Not as sexy as SB79 but … An appellate court just invalidated Redondo Beach’s HE in a sweeping decision, finding HE housing “overlays” on commercial/industrial land illegal when 100% non resi projects remain allowed under the zoning. Result - mid cycle Builders Remedy is back ⤵️

The BIG outstanding challenge is about funding and project feasibility. We both need massive increases in subsidy for Affordable Housing + ensure market rate housing is feasible. Today, we celebrate! 🎉🎉🎉

We're not done. We still need to effectively implement these laws and ensure local jurisdictions follow the law. But California has put the framework in place to solve this problem.

✅ Process reform (Summer CEQA package) ✅ Process reform (Permitting Package) ✅ Code reform (Zoning) 2025 has been the best housing year to date! Thank you Governor @GavinNewsom, Senator @Scott_Wiener, Asm. @BuffyWicks, Speaker @RobertRivas_CA & Senate Pro Tem @ilike_mike.
HUGE NEWS!! YIMBY’S REJOICE !! California is making historic strides today as @CAGovernor Gavin Newsom signs #SB79 — streamlining the building of more housing all across the Golden State. No, it does not supersede local control as some have falsely claimed. No, it is not

Exciting conversation on building codes with our new Southern CA Director @jessezwick and our friends @ShaneDPhillips & @elpaavo at the @UCLALewisCenter!
Had a great chat about my research into US building codes and the perverse incentives that shape them with @ShaneDPhillips and @elpaavo as part of their UCLA Housing Voice podcast. Hope you listen and enjoy!

Outdated restrictions begone… more homes are on their way to Culver City!
Culver City is the 1st in CA to legalize single-stair buildings up to 6 stories 🏗️—slimmer buildings with bigger, family-sized homes full of light & air. Credit to @bubbathefish, @AbundantHousing & HAC SoCal Dir. @jessezwick for making it happen!

To build the homes Californians need, we must make construction an attractive and sustainable career. We look forward to participating in this process and engaging stakeholders throughout.

We support policies that help build more homes at all income levels. This proposed study to establish a residential living wage is an important step towards providing construction workers with living wages and ensuring projects remain financially feasible.

Elections have consequences. As a consequence of getting a new District 5 Supervsior, I’m getting new neighbors! Thank you Supervisor @bilalmahmood!
This empty car wash at 400 Divis is proof of SF’s housing death spiral - over 200 homes stalled for nearly a decade I’m working to change the law so projects can build under the rules they applied with, cutting millions in costs and finally turning sites like this into housing.

We are excited to support Mayor Lurie in bringing more homes to San Francisco! Our Community Organizer Brianna Morales @BriannaMo41 stands beside him and calls for more homes in SF!
Today, San Franciscans came out to support the Family Zoning Plan and a simple idea—that families and workers should be able to live in San Francisco. Not just visit on the weekends or commute from the greater Bay Area, but live, grow, and thrive here. That is why our plan is
