New decision from CA Court of Appeal on the fee-shifting provisions of AB 1633 has big implications for NIMBYs' incentive to challenge housing approvals under CEQA & beyond. This one belongs in a Law of Abundance casebook. 🧵/24 https://t.co/rdZjsPAhJM

MAJOR NEWS: @GavinNewsom signed SB 79, my bill allowing more housing near public transit — rail, subway, rapid bus. It’s a huge step for housing in California. It’ll create more homes, strengthen our transit systems & reduce traffic & carbon emissions. Thank you, Governor!

Does U.S. Supreme Court's big new NEPA decision have implications for CEQA? Yes! The liberals' (!) concurring opinion strongly reinforces an argument that @TDuncheon & I made for judicially narrowing the scope of CEQA review of housing projects. 🧵/16

Prop 33 supporters are saying voters needn't worry about cities abusing rent control to kill off housing development b/c state law guarantees landlords a "just and reasonable" return on investment. If only they were right! 🧵/21.

This project was fast-tracked under SB 35, which meant it could get permits in a matter of weeks instead of years. Without YIMBY-backed state streamlining, it would still be a parking lot for a shuttered fast food restaurant.

Great new housing project 200 feet from my apartment! Shame that it isn’t taller and that it doesn’t also have market rate units to do more to address our supply shortage.

Calling the filibuster the “holy grail” of democracy is such an embarrassing thing to say

Lots of folks experienced this tweet (⤵️) as a gibe. I did not mean to offend, or to contribute to the further sewerification of Twitter. So let me explain my concerns. 🧵.
The puzzle for me is not "Should YIMBYs try to build alliances w/ tenants?" but "Are tenant advocacy orgs actually representing the interests of tenants?"

Overturning Roe v Wade killed this woman. There's no other way to put it. These are the stakes in this election.

There’s a serious housing shortage. As President, I will work in partnership with industry to build the housing we need. By the end of my first term, we will end America’s housing shortage by building 3 million new homes and rentals that are affordable for the middle class.
