Especially true in CA: where we have the most billionaires in the country yet the most people who sleep on the streets. Wealth exists. It’s just concentrated at the top.
We don’t suffer from scarcity, we suffer from greed. The money is there. It’s just being hoarded by the wealthy while everyday people are struggling to afford groceries and rent.

Respectfully… why?. CA independent citizen redistricting (imperfect) is model for the nation. The legislature became Dem supermajority because voters moved left organically . Reps resort to cheating to win. We win by running clear platform for the working class & delivering.
NEWS: Newsom floats calling for a special election to change CA constitution on redistricting:. "[The legislature] can put something on the ballot. I could call a special election. We can change the constitution with the consent of the voters, and I think we would win that."

Building more homes near transit, and in urban infill cities is a far cry from building on coast and wetlands. I am begging journalist to understand the building more housing or housing is best suited SAVES nature from sprawling development.
Not loving @nytimes's "housing trumps the environment" gloss on today's generational reforms of CEQA. These reforms most certainly are not an invitation to pave over paradise. 1/9

Big congrats to @Scott_Wiener for passing #SB79 thru Asm Housing Committee! As someone who’s lived directly next to transit all my life, we need to accelerate our TOD hubs! . 1/4 mile from train stations is exactly where we need an abundance of housing . Proud to co-author
