Judge me by my enemies. Corporations like Chevron, PG&E, and Meta are spending nearly $50 million against me—and only me—because I'm the only candidate who will take on the corporate interests ripping off working people and families. Game on.

Here's why nothing gets built in California:
❌Impact fees
❌Utility hookup fees
❌ Permits & reviews
❌ Frivolous lawsuits
It’s often $150K before a single nail hits the ground. That’s what my housing plan aims fix: MahanForCalifornia.com/housing

The difference is that the Swiss and Germans have real security of tenure in their rental housing.
Keith Humphreys@KeithNHumphreys
If you believe Americans can't be happy when they don't yet own a home consider that the Swiss are consistently among the happiest people on Earth and 2/3 of them rent.

I love Mexico, but I’m not Mexican.
In any event, Airbnb restrictions are good. Mexican cities would benefit from more of them.

@tonyannett Looks like it's counting unrealized income.
In other words, it's dumb.

I seem to have an experienced an alternative timeline of this whole debate. Anyone else remember it this way?

Why do we keep building car lanes when drivers barely use the ones they’ve already got?

@philobaza @santamonicacity @ladottransit @SaMoPlanning @GoSantaMonica @LA_DOTr The on street bike lanes are little used while lots of people bike at the beach

The new protected bike lanes on Broadway in @santamonicacity are wonderful. This should be the gold standard everywhere. 🚲@ladottransit @SaMoPlanning @GoSantaMonica @LA_DOTr

@SpecialPuppy1 Inflation and interest rates? High gas and housing prices too

Whats the best explanation for why consumer sentiment is so bad right now?

@3Sentinel4 @RefrmDemocracy @JuliaCarmel__ If you have a family CORPORATION then you are a professional real estate company and no longer entitled to personal / family exemptions.
Goldman Sachs was technically a family partnership for many years. Your argument would shield them. Ridiculous

Seems like a reasonable law from @JuliaCarmel__. Rather than build new housing, investors are pilfering existing housing stock, converting them into luxury residences that are out of reach for ordinary New Yorkers.

Worth noting: There's a bill in the NY state Legislature that would ban predatory house flipping. amsterdamnews.com/news/2026/03/1…

@RetailBrokerHTX Agreed. Instead of focusing on road diets, build more. Don't subtract

Imagine if Houston acted with this sense of urgency at all times
Honestly I could care much less about the image of my city to once in a generation soccer international fans vs annual residual visitors like OTC and the quilting show
Let’s dress up the city like everyday matters

@conelsolecito @RefrmDemocracy @JuliaCarmel__ That says companies not corporations.
If you start a small business you're caught in this

Desirable, expensive cities are banning short-term rentals and customers are realizing that hotels provide better value, safety, and reliability.

I didn't realize that Airbnb's stock is below its first-day closing price, even before adjusting for inflation.

@3Sentinel4 @RefrmDemocracy @JuliaCarmel__ It’s petty clear Families are excluded — you are corporate real estate actor. You should pay taxes.
