Wild stuff from the “model” building code — let’s make reuse of office buildings impossible and limit options for families (I’d prefer my baby’s room didn’t have a window — we’d all sleep better!).

For the past generation, moving to a red state has probably been the definitive marker of someone who has standard working-middle class aspirations: get married, buy a home, have kids, start your own business, etc. That's an existential problem for Democrats.

One of the most important pieces of legislation in modern California history is currently sitting on Governor Newsom's desk: SB 79. He will likely either sign or veto it this week. Here's what you need to know, and how you can help.

Today is a great day to call the governor's office and politely ask him to sign SB 79. (916) 445-2841

You can call her office here to tell her you support SB 79 and to ask her to stop putting her thumb on the scale against it. 📞 (213) 978-0600 🗣️ Script here:

This under-construction 7-bedroom, $14mm mansion did not have to pay any affordable housing fee. If you built a five-unit apartment of the same size, it'd need to pay a $360,000 affordable housing fee. How do five small homes neg. impact affordability more than one mansion?

Taxpayers spent 100M to build a new entrance for the Crystal City metro station, and yet millionaires who live here prevent more people from using it

Do it! https://t.co/cX64ZirAMi

In addition to making housing affordability worse, this also sends a terrible message to public servants. How can we expect people to be motivated to work in local government if, even after years of democratic process, their hard work can be thrown in the trash by a rogue judge?

If you want to understand the problems at @dcdpw, note that they are auctioning a 2017 tow truck because "we bought new trucks" https://t.co/AmX2PJnmW2 Based on its mileage, if it averaged 10 mph, it operated for roughly 30 eight-hour workdays per year.

Soooo @311DCgov @DCDPW @dcdutchiedude are we just leavin it like this or...?? If 395 southbound were fully blocked forcing all traffic to share 1 lane we'd prob.... fix it?? #bikedc #MBT Met Branch Trail btwn R & Randolph NE, I think. Building is structurally compromised...

Guy with 80+ tickets for speeding & running🚦says the kid in a crosswalk with broken toes & tire marks “hit his car” & that his driving record “is irrelevant.” It’s a great example of drivers who do not expect accountability. The STEER Act changes that.

💯 On Monday, a child was struck in a crosswalk in Ward 6 by a driver swerving around a car at 🚦, leaving her with broken toes & tire marks on her leg. He was simply issued a ticket, even with his 80+ speeding tickets/$18K+ in fines he owes. He shouldn’t be driving in DC. 1/2
