Thanks for trying

No that’s not it tbh I don’t even know if officially was a CAYIMBY; I could also be misremembering because I caught by accident while searching for something else, thought it was cool saw it immediately died and moved on

There was a Wicks bill a year or two ago for statewide permitting for projects of statewide importance. Said died without a hearing

Sacramento is blessed to have such pro-housing leadership in the Legislature! Five out of six members of the Sacramento area voted for SB 79

Now the official Senate roll call vote is up, and surprisingly, between the Senate first passing out SB 79 in June and concurring in Assembly amendments Friday Sept. 12th, a full 12 senators changed their position! Let's dig in.

I've really been thinking about SB 79. This is a culmination of a years-long online project for me. We'll see if it works. I've been studying the maps. First of all: the places with the greatest redevelopment potential have the HIGHEST land value, au contraire Assemblymember Zbur. This is obvious.

Maybe won’t take effect in the municipality until the next RHNA cycle? Still that’s only until 2029 I think for SoCal

A screenshot from Wikipedia that reads: Candidates Declared Damon Connolly (Democratic), state assemblymember from the 12th district (2022–present) James Gore (Democratic), Sonoma County supervisor (2015–present) Natalie Rogers (Democratic), Santa Rosa city councilor (2020–present)

Who is running for California State Senate district 2? Other than Damon Connolly – who voted NO on #SB79 despite Marin and Sonoma getting carve outs.

Lots of time between now and the primary, but I'm leaning toward Natalie Rogers: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_Ca...

Top five all time housing bills

Very grateful for the support for SB 79 from Sacramento legislators Senator @angeliqueashby.bsky.social & Assemblywoman Maggy Krell. There is a strong coalition of pro-housing folks in Sacramento who will not forget your aye votes for this bill. Thank you!

*sign it sorry.

I’m pretty certain he’ll vote yes

SB79 and VTA doing TSP would really increase ridership from 12-15k per weekday average to a better level

Something to worry about. Let’s hope Haney Wicks and Rivas can kill this

He voted yes in June but flipped to abstain in September.

Guest Opinion: To build housing, we need to fix RHNA As my colleagues and I enter the final weeks of the legislative session, housing is rightly at the center of our attention. But as high-profile bills move across the floor, I keep returning to an elep...

A major YIMBY win out of California with the passage of SB79!

This should be a model for states all over the USA to help address our housing shortages without creating more unsustainable forced car dependence sprawl.

Way to go @scottwiener.bsky.social

Difference between committee chairs and floor no votes

Left wing YIMBY need to start controlling the online narrative better. The majority of the no votes for SB79 came from Orange County and north county San Diego (traditionally Republican areas), yet the prevailing narrative is that the problem is Left-NIMBY.

I actually think Sacramento may be the biggest winner from SB79. It's got a large proportion of land gets upzoned by it.

Ngl I’m sad but alas that’s I’m it

SB 63 is headed to the Governor's desk. It is a historic opportunity to allow voters in 5 counties of the Bay Area to consider a sales tax measure in Nov 2026 to preserve and improve transit. BART, and the entire transit network that keeps the Bay Area moving, stand to benefit from this bill.

Bay Area transit news: SB 63, a bill to authorize a regional funding measure to fund transit in the Bay Area, passed the state legislature and is headed to Gov. Newsom's desk for his signature. Newsom has until Oct. 12 to either sign or veto the bill.

Statements from SFMTA and BART below.

Last night, the Legislature passed & sent to the Governor our bill to authorize a 2026 Bay Area regional revenue measure to fund our public transportation systems, SB 63.

We need these systems to be strong. Let’s get it done!

and lastly, thank you to @seamlessbayareaca.bsky.social and @transbaycoalition.bsky.social for the help with this event, and for all the work you all put in on Transit Month!

And SB63 passed the Senate at 1:30am! Now on to the governor's desk! It took a lot of organizing and mobilizing and compromises to get to a bill that will save and improve Bay Area transit - now on to the governor, and to people power to help gather signatures and pass the measure!

Yesterday we celebrated #SB79 being poised to pass. Today it passed. But the time for celebrations is over. On to the next. #grindsky

Also the HJTPA groups are sadly planning on running a vigorous anti tax anti transit campaign, we need to be pro active in fighting this

Any details about what the chances are in the senate?

SB63 passes Assembly Floor! Transportation Chair Lori Wilson reads from a letter signed by over 30 local electeds in San Mateo County expressing their support. Assembly Members from all 5 counties speak in favor.
