@dillonliam @manuelatobiasm Sad to hear, but you were 100% more than interesting and informative! The podcast was essential listening that *welcomed* ppl of any background to grow their understanding the most pressing issue facing CA. I'll miss the show–and the avocados. Keep us posted on the next project!

@manuelatobiasm Nevertheless, it was a pleasure broadcasting every fortnight, hearing your questions, feedback and episode ideas and talking about everything from mountain lions to golf courses to, of course, casitas. I hope we were interesting and informative. (3/3)

Some news. After six years, the Gimme Shelter housing podcast (@cahousingpod) has officially come to an end. It was a great run talking about California's housing affordability crisis and chatting with so many fascinating people about it (1/3)

I love that the Lower Decks and SNW teams did what they just did.

@joe_antognini Apparently, at the same time, we kept sending uranium to the USSR via lend-lease b/c it was thought that denying it would tip them off that something was going on.
I don't know why the Soviets wanted uranium, but it was an order we filled!

Some Oppenheimer-related trivia:
In 1942 the Soviet physicist Georgy Flyorov figured out that America was building an atomic bomb after he noticed that the US and UK suddenly stopped publishing scientific papers on atomic fission.

This is great.

My colleagues at @UCLALewisCenter, UC Davis, UC and Berkeley have published a new tool for measuring whether cities are "affirmatively furthering fair housing" in their land use plans, using several California cities as case studies. Quick thread.🧵 tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

In Judaism, we believe in Tikkun Olam - a calling to serve humanity and help repair the world.
There is no greater service that LA’s faith communities could do than to provide shelter to those suffering on our streets. SB4 would help us do that work. laist.com/news/housing-h…

Good good. It’s important for the entirety of the district to move forward here. Thanks Rick.
Jesse Zwick@jessezwick
Good comments by @RickChavezZbur! He notes that the bill already has good guardrails for coastal areas, as it only applies to infill residential zones, etc. Wants more work on wildfire zones, notes that Weiner shares these goals, and so he will be supporting it today.

Building infill housing is the best thing my part of CA and one of the best things all of CA could do to combat climate change.
Adding housing near jobs and transit is good environmental policy––and good social policy, economic policy, homelessness policy...

To afford to buy a home in Southern California, this housekeeper at two L.A. hotels commutes three hours, sleeps in her car during the week and has her husband commute in so she doesn't fall asleep at the wheel when coming back on weekends latimes.com/california/sto…

A bill to limit so-called "crime-free" housing policies in California — the subject of a 2020 Times investigation on their disproportionate effects on Black and Latino tenants — cleared another legislative committee today.
Assemblymember Tina McKinnor@AsmTinaMcKinnor
Incredible momentum w/ today’s 10-0 vote in Senate Judiciary Committee for my #ab1418, the Safe & Inclusive Housing Act. Every Californian deserves a safe, inclusive and affordable place to call home. T/y Chair @SenatorUmberg for your support & leadership. #caleg

These stats come as no surprise to those working on housing and homelessness in LA.
Arbitrarily powerful people can push arbitrarily hard on the current system. But until we actually redesign that system, we’ll see results like this.
