βThis is, and I can humbly say this as someone whoβs been a student of this and a practitioner of sorts over the past six plus years, the most consequential housing reform that we have seen in modern history in the state of California.β - @gavinnewsom.bsky.social

To win the YIMBY and Abundance movement, the work needs to be done in LA.
That starts by electing Sara Hernandez in SD 26 and @johnericksonwh.bsky.social in SD 24 in these crucial districts next year.

Opinion | Europe Built Trains. America Built Highways and Regret.
While much of the rest of the world invested in rail, the U.S. invested in highways. The result? Unsustainable sprawl & extreme, costly, unhealthy car-dependence.
The rest of the world still invests in transit, as the U.S. lets our transit atrophy.
Letβs change that & invest big time in transit.
