Today, Circulate released our report Win-Win Bonus: How California's Bonus Law quietly transformed housing approvals. The report details how Bonus Law became California's most successful housing streamlining tool. Read the full report here: circulatesd.org/win_win_bonus_…

The first two comments are my people

My boomer dad retired at 62. Full pension. Paid off house. Medicare at 65. Social security at 67. Told me at Thanksgiving, I just need to be more disciplined with my money, I make $71,000. Rent is $1,900. I have $4,000 in savings. I didn't say anything. I passed the rolls. But here's what i wanted to say: Your pension was defunded by lobbyists your generation elected. Your social security is solvent because mine is still paying in. Your houseis worth $800,000 because mine costs $600,000. You didn't build differently. You just got there first.

Sarah Karlinsky talks with the @latimes about vacancy taxes: "'It’s 'one tool that cities have been exploring, but how effective these taxes are, I think, will remain to be seen... It’s not a substitute for adding new housing supply.'" latimes.com/california/sto…

I’m proud of San Diego’s progress building more homes—but we’ve got more work to do, especially on family-sized, for-sale homes. Neighborhood Homes for All of Us is how we’ll close that gap. axios.com/local/san-dieg…

@TheRHPolls @BravoTV @Andy I like the women who made their own money, not those who just married it

🗳️ Who would you rather returned for another season of Beverly Hills? #RHOBH 💎 @BravoTV @Andy

@TheRHPolls Yes she is amazing

Do you hope to see Rachel Zoe stick around for future seasons of #RHOBH? 💎

A year ago we were supposed to be getting $2,000 rebate checks, DOGE was going to find $2 trillion in waste to balance the budget, we were going to pay no income taxes because tariffs would pay for everything, gas & home electric bills would be cut in half, and no new wars.

The Strait of Hormuz has been closed for 8 days. Everyone thinks this is about oil. This is about what oil becomes. 92% of the world's sulfur comes from refining oil and gas. Close the Strait of Hormuz and you don't just lose 20 million barrels of crude per day. You lose the feedstock for sulfuric acid, the single most produced chemical on Earth. Sulfuric acid is how we extract copper. It's how we extract cobalt. Without it, you can't make transformers, EV batteries, or the substrates inside every data center on the planet. One chemical, made from one feedstock, shipped through one chokepoint. The cascade goes further: Qatar ships 30% of Taiwan's liquefied natural gas through Hormuz. Taiwan has 11 days of reserves left. TSMC, the company that makes 90% of the world's advanced chips, draws 8.9% of Taiwan's total electricity. No gas, no power, no chips. Then food. 33% of the world's nitrogen fertilizer feedstock moves through the Strait. Half of all humans alive today exist because of synthetic nitrogen. Sulfur, semiconductors, food. That makes three supply chains, one 21-nautical-mile chokepoint, and zero domestic alternatives at scale.

@CoachDanGo Do you also add these in your Greek yogurt? How else do you consume Chia seeds? Separately as a pudding?

2. Chia Seeds Two tablespoons have more fiber than most people eat in a meal. They absorb 10x their weight in water, expand in your gut, and slow digestion to keep blood sugar stable.

95% of people aren't getting enough of this nutrient and it may be killing them. It's not protein. It's fiber. Fiber protects against colon cancer, fights heart disease and even helps you lose fat. Here are 10 high-fiber foods to eat every week:

I want to walk you through why it’s nearly certain Trump’s Iran War is going to be a massive, deadly, trillion dollar failure. And why you should be furious he’s set us on this path.

@Yimby_Law How did they delay it? Slow reviews?

That was us in court with the city of LA! yimbylaw.org/winnetka-ed1-l… Not only does LA spend money on its own lawyers to defend lawsuits when it ignores state housing laws, they have to pay our bills too when they lose.

🚨 BREAKING: Rep. Ted Lieu says the full Epstein files contain information that Donald Trump RAPED minors. So he started a war to distract us from his crimes. Never stop speaking about Epstein.

Why is the city of Los Angeles stopping affordable housing during a housing crisis?

@RpsAgainstTrump Well you sure can’t make this shit up, can you? Bragging about receiving a made-up peace prize as you literally just started an actual war. Unfuckingbelievable! 🤦‍♀️

SCOOP: Kristi Noem's plan to use border funds for an almost $300 million luxury jet fleet has horrified top Trump officials. "This is the world's worst deal to buy an aircraft," a senior administration official told @brittanyagibson. axios.com/2026/02/28/noe…

@jonlovett @nithyavraman Come build minesterially in San Diego/ no mansion tax.

LA city council just blocked a reform by @nithyavraman that would fix a dumb, economically illiterate policy in LA that taxes multifamily apartments like mansions and has according to all evidence made LA’s housing crisis WORSE. Shameful, pathetic. Look at what is coming for us:

The CA Supreme Court just elected not to take up or de-publish the New Commune v Redondo app ct decision invalidating the City’s HE. This clears the path for Builders Remedy in Redondo and other cities with defective HE overlays. So much for waiting patiently for the 7th cycle!
