Supervising Deputy Attorney General, Adjunct Law Prof, Dad. Connoisseur of nuance. Opinions my own, obviously. But, housing policy = climate policy.

Democrats walked into the trap of defending the very institutions most Americans distrust.

Surfing on Election Day. A tradition only skipped in 2016. Praying this will not be captioned, “The sunset of democracy.”

If voters were voting based on policies alone, Harris would win by a landslide. When voters are asked about policies without a candidate's name attached, there is much larger support for the policies of Harris. But then, when asked who they thought the policies belonged to,

Focusing for a moment on the POLICIES at play. Voters were asked whether they supported 100 different policies, but weren't told whether the policy was from Trump or Harris. Nearly all of Harris' policies got majority support from the public, and... 🧵

#BREAKING: The San Diego Superior Court has ruled in our favor to force the City of Huntington Beach to come into compliance with California’s Housing Element Law.   No city is above the law—local governments up and down our state should take notice.  https://t.co/FF4NflZbN2

The disparate world view expressed here: “…nothing could shake Creitz’s belief in the ongoing promise of the city, not even his own traumatic experiences,�� compared with the last sentence of the article, captures everything about SF.

The city wants to shake its reputation as a “zombie-apocalypse wasteland.” How it achieves that goal is another story.

Was going to amplify our action against La Canada Flintridge, but a consumer alert that balance billing is illegal in California seems more impressive. https://t.co/5jQX3dVvg0
