In my lifetime there have been just a few things I saw but still couldn’t believe were real: Jordan flu game, Red Sox ‘04 comeback agains the Yankees, Tiger ‘97 Masters, and @BuffyWicks making infill housing CEQA exempt. Bravo to the team at @cayimby

We are on the cusp of the most significant housing reform in CA in our lifetime, excellent summary below by @CSElmendorf.
An update on California's CEQA / housing package as we hurtle toward the finish line. tldr: @BuffyWicks's CEQA infill exemption is now *even better* than the 6/24 draft ⤵️; and it looks like @Scott_Wiener will land most of the fish in SB 607 but not the real lunker. 🧵/25.

For FY 25/26, LA County will invest hundreds of millions of dollars in affordable housing and homelessness prevention. Thank you to all my board colleagues from city of LA, County of LA, small cities, and industry experts for working together to get this done.

Looks like typical conference. It’s not. It’s a celebration of LA CAHSA (Los Angeles County Affordable Housing Solutions Agency) adopting our first budget. This is huge. Here’s why:

Leadership 🙌.
I can’t believe it - after years of advocacy, exclusionary zoning has ended in Cambridge. We just passed the single most comprehensive rezoning in the US—legalizing multifamily housing up to 6 stories citywide in a Paris style . Here’s the details 🧵

Fixed it.
Goodbye, red tape. Through an executive order, we are making it easier for victims of the SoCal fires to quickly rebuild their homes and lives. We’re also extending key price gouging protections to help make rebuilding more affordable.
