Let’s lower the rent! As mayor, I will triple housing production by cutting red tape, lowering costs, and eliminating pointless bureaucracy.

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
Matt Baran@mattbaran

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.

@ArmandDoma I’m grateful for your contributions to the movement. Yet it’s a problem for the movement longterm that a handful of journalists and writers are becoming its archetypes. Spokespeople great, but there’s not much of a grassroots here yet

@UrbanCourtyard I like the courtyard urbanist project but this bias against big towers is bizarre to me. Many global cities—Mexico City, Istanbul, Tokyo, to name a few—have big towers in extremely vibrant neighborhoods. Why not promote cities with both?

Superblock towers include lots of amenities are extremely expensive to build, operate, maintain and buy units in. Nothing says livable neighborhood like a valet-only lobby and 200’ of glass wall

if you’re in a good neighborhood (left), your building has no amenities and your block has tons of ground floor retail. If your building has a lot of amenity space (right), chances are your neighborhood sucks at the street level.

@thuddwhirr I favor repealing California’s proposition system in its entirety. It allows the legislature to shirk responsibility for lawmaking

You know what would solve a lot of this? A prop that puts all tax authority back in the hands of the CA legislature where it’s supposed to be. Give it the same full court press that he gave Prop 5.
Jeremy B. White@JeremyBWhite

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…

A recent working paper estimates federal “planning assistance caused municipalities to build 20% fewer housing units per decade over the 50 years that followed” from the 1960s Shocking if remotely true that adding planners directly causes lower housing production

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

That's right! My newly published paper (with Tali Mendelberg) asks: are concerns about 'neighborhood context' real? (spoiler: yes, very much) Do people prefer traditional/brick buildings? (spoiler: no). And does changing style to "fit" boost support? (spoiler: only a tiny bit).
Alex Armlovich@aarmlovi

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…
