Dr. Jeremy Levine, PhD of city council meetings
@JeremyELevine
Supporting houses and the people who live in them with @hlc_sanmateo, @inclusive_laf, and @cocoyoungdems 🏘🏢🌆 Not a real PhD but takes just as good


Not to brag but up here in the Bay Area, San Mateo charged $20k per apartment in parks fees; Palo Alto charges avg $40k; RWC $43k; Sunnyvale $70k PER APARTMENT LA can only dream of loving parks like we do

LA charges park fees between 8 and 18 grand for each new unit of housing built. I guess now we know where it’s going. If you live in LA go enjoy those restrooms, because they’re built into your rent.


It's wild that basic governance in America's second largest city has almost completely broken down in recent years, yet there's no discussion at all about broader governance reforms or even a single serious challenger to the incumbent mayor.


.@ArmandDoma are all abundos anti union?







NEW: @GavinNewsom and team quietly talked to California wealth tax proponents about defusing a ballot fight. Odds of a deal look slim. But talks underscore how fiercely Newsom opposes this proposal: "It’s just what I warned against." politico.com/news/2026/01/1…









(We found basically the same effect if we told them the tall building would provide half a million in community benefits for a park.)


Oh wow, @zoningwonk has a brand new paper out on the 24th on visual context! Different paper, similar topline findings: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/10…
