It works well inside California as well.
It's unrealistic to fix a 40 year problem in 12 months, but @Scott_Wiener @BuffyWicks @GavinNewsom and others have put us on the right path.

I wrote about Ezra Klein & Derek Thompson's new self-doubt, with some evidence from my sabbatical research so far ⬇️

@paulmitche11 @VoteHub @KevinKileyCA @DarrellIssa @RepDavidValadao They have GA & OH gov races flipping blue 😂🤣 give me a break!

If you're wanting to nerd out, check out @VoteHub's really pretty looking election data and maps. I have to explore more on the methodology, but they have Dems beating @KevinKileyCA by 12-pts, Dems picking up the @DarrellIssa seat by 11, and the @RepDavidValadao seat by 6.

Posting is cool, but taking action is even cooler. One of the most impactful thing you can do to advance YIMBYism in California is to team up with other YIMBYs and knock on doors for pro-housing candidates. Join us this Saturday for the first YIMBY Day of Action!

We’ve been told that we raised more money for State Senate than anyone else my age in CA history.

@cafedujord Sorry we don’t want radical far left Nithya. EMBARRASSING.
English
Both Laurie and Mahan replaced moderate mayors (Breed and Liccardo respectively), not leftists, and Spencer Pratt has not been (and will not be) elected. Embarrassing.
Kyle Tibbitts@KyleTibbitts
California replacing incompetent leftist mayors in its top three cities with Lurie, Mahan and Pratt while NYC goes in the Mamdani direction would make me hopeful for my home state.

With love, CBIA has been one of the chief obstacles to condo defect liability reform in CA because they don’t want competition from urban development.
They are sprawl builders, not infill. Wish they could have a “rising tide lifts all boats” attitude but alas
Matthew Yglesias@mattyglesias
I think we should in general be suspicious of candidates who say their plans will lead to a lot of homebuilding but who can't sell the people who actually build houses on that idea. Two exceptions to this that I am open to!
English
Councilman Soto-Martinez advocates for safe streets but does nothing about fighting these costs. And also approves of the half-ass street repairs around HLA. So where really does he stand on safer streets?
Streets For All@streetsforall
Something about LA just doesn't add up. Cost to do curb ramps per corner: Beverly Hills - $10,000 Caltrans - $15,000 City of LA - $50,000+ Why does basic infrastructure cost so much more in LA compared to surrounding cities or even our state transportation agency!?
English
@HACdotorg Are you guys gonna say the same about construction minimum wage after that gets passed with your support?
English
Measure ULA was passed with good intentions — but it's not working.
English
What YIMBYs should realize is that Matt Mahan *is* the abundance candidate.

Should we assume that the pro-open-borders, anti-enforcing laws guy shares views with @nithyavraman?
Why is her mayoral campaign website in your bio? @LACity has super strict rules about disclosures. 🤔
Joe Cohen@CohenSite
If you moved to LA from Florida a month ago for college, pay no taxes & plan to leave in four years, you can vote in local LA elections If you moved to LA from Mexico 40 years ago, have citizen children in LAUSD, pay taxes, plan to stay here forever, you can’t
English
@cafedujord @okayheyjay Sorry but if your running for Gov and your response to a question about what you have done to promote housing - at a YIMBY candidate forum - is to talk about a project you killed, call me seriously unimpressed. He has no housing plan. Hasn’t talked about it at all

@maxdubler @sands659 Which state legislator (the people making these statewide zoning decisions) are saying it’s not supply and demand?
English
I have been assured that supply does not lower housing prices; so this must be happening because Texas has low income inequality, a ban on algorithmic rent setting software, strict regulations on corporate ownership of single family homes, rent control, and robust social housing.
Rick Palacios Jr.@RickPalaciosJr
In #Dallas, renting a home hasn’t been this affordable since 2008.
English
@sands659 @maxdubler You missed the point. He’s saying people are saying that it’s not supply and demand to which I am saying nobody credible or with any power believes that. Yet he keeps leading with that point and mocking the thought/ideology. It’s supply and demand everyone knows that.
English
@LerHell @maxdubler No they aren’t. There are many, many NIMBYs we need to fight to get the change we need.
English
@E_Barcohana @MattMahanSJ @SteveHiltonx Guess we’re doing Bianco wooooooooo. Come party Elizabeth!!!

English
Mayor @MattMahanSJ must drop out.
The only purpose of his candidacy is to be anti-Steyer, and he’s failed to achieve that.
Instead, he’s pulling votes away from the ACTUAL anti-Steyer candidate, @SteveHiltonx, making it more likely Steyer makes it into the top 2, not less.
