Beautiful evening joining the Consulate of the Netherlands for a discussion on waterfront resilience and climate adaptation with experts from both sides of the Atlantic. As the Bay Area prepares for the impacts of sea level rise, we have so much to learn from the Dutch 🌊🌊🌊

Kamala gives a full throated YIMBY message on ending the housing shortage tonight, to thunderous applause: “For years we have heard excuses about why America can’t build enough housing. Enough with the excuses, I’m gonna cut the red tape…to speed up building and get it done!"

Thank you to Consul General Lim Jung-taek for the invitation to join in Korean Foundation Day celebrations! I'm pretty enthusiastic about Korean-American relations, seeing as I'm a product of them. 🇰🇷🤝🇺🇸

There's a chaos caucus in our politics. The seriousness of our elected leaders can be measured by whether they think these people need to be defeated or pandered to. @RashiKesarwani, you're a warrior. Keep at it. berkeleyside.org/2024/10/25/ber…

This is an absolute kicker. Unreal.

50 days. Let’s make every moment count.

Yes, please. A large scale, mixed use development at Howard Terminal would create the vibrant waterfront that Oakland residents deserve and could help address so many of the Town’s and the region’s major challenges. sfchronicle.com/eastbay/articl…

The Port of Oakland has issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) seeking a developer for its 50-acre Howard Property. Located along the Oakland waterfront, this site is a former marine terminal that has not been used for cargo vessel operations since 2013. Howard Property is adjacent to industrial operations to the west and Jack London Square to the east. The Port will consider a wide range of submissions, including maritime, light industrial, commercial, recreational, and/or water-oriented uses. For more: portofoakland.com/port-of-oaklan….

Last month, CA became the 1st state to launch a clean, renewable hydrogen hub. Today, @CAGovernor Newsom, @ENERGY Under Secretary Crane & @SenAlexPadilla, along side other leaders, gathered in Oakland to celebrate this landmark commitment to build & expand clean energy in CA.

We're working on the future of America's passenger rail system—funding high-speed rail projects in the West and expanding service for communities across the country. Get your ticket to ride!

@loridroste A DECADE

@RigelRobinson A decade?!?

This small child moved to Berkeley a ‼️decade‼️ ago! Could never have imagined the adventures I would get to be a part of here and all the change I would get to make. Thank you for being part of the journey. 🐻

Great and hilarious story from @hknightsf and @AlexandraBerzon on Kamala Harris's subtle erasure of her hometown of Berkeley, which gets traded for Oakland and the East Bay in her speeches. (Just imagine how the Canadians feel.) nytimes.com/2024/08/25/us/…

We led with HEART and our VALUES, and today, it is my incredible honor to break the news that the N Berkeley @SFBART Development has been awarded $49,267,999 (!!!) from California's Affordable Housing Sustainable Communities Program. 💰🏘️🚴‍♂️ What does this mean? Quick 🧵 1/

I always knew that Ronald Reagan signed the California Environmental Quality Act into law as governor, but just learned today that the legislator who authored it was future Republican governor and U.S. Senator Pete Wilson. latimes.com/opinion/story/…

Glad Kamala is talking about her childhood and her mother but the gymnastics to avoid the word ‘Berkeley’ here is hilarious. feels like the line I set that she would not say ‘Berkeley’ until the election needed to actually be lower lol.
