I am calling for a moratorium on new tote bags. We all have more than enough tote bags already. Stop giving me tote bags at conferences. I do not want or need any more tote bags.

Best thing California could do to fight fascism is build more housing.

Why is the rent so damn high in LA? Simple economics: the demand for housing is extremely high and our housing supply is extremely low.

[VICTORY ALERT] AB 130, which creates a broad CEQA exemption for infill housing projects, has been signed by Governor Newsom. Because it is part of the budget, it is effective immediately.

It's do or die for SB 79, the bill that would legalize multifamily housing around rail and BRT stops across the state. The vote could be held as early as tomorrow morning.

Californians: call your state senator tomorrow morning to help us get out of the senate!

Opinion: Don't let the city kill a successful ADU program building affordable homes With San Diego needing thousands more affordable homes, we can't abandon a housing solution just because it is too successful.

San Diego's backyard home program has created 368 affordable units without taxpayer dollars since 2021.

City Council wants to add restrictions—parking mandates, cul-de-sac bans, and fees—during a housing shortage.

We're throwing away what works.

Screenshot of a headline from tennis.com reading “New American pope Leo XIV is ‘quite the amateur tennis player’ Fittingly, the news of his historic selection was announced at the Foro Italico and shown on screens during the Internazionali BNL d’Italia.” The screenshot is superimposed over a photo of Pope Leo XIV waving from the Vatican balcony with the “I told ya” t-shirt from Challengers photoshopped onto him.

crazy that an influx of dense infill housing can lower prices and make homeownership more attainable

This kind of dense, walkable, mixed-use urbanism is illegal to build in most of the United States

Do you live in Irvine or Costa Mesa (or elsewhere on this map) and want to help get more housing built?

SB 79 won't significantly impact OC, but State Senator Choi might be the deciding vote in next week's Local Government Committee.

Let me know if you want to help!

This year we are sponsoring a housing bill – SB 79 by Senator Wiener. Why are we, Streets For All, getting in the housing space?

Because this bill is vital for our transportation system. 🧵(1/10)

Californians: if you want to support SB 79, which is up for a do-or-die committee vote on Tuesday, you can do so by signing this petition or by calling your state senator.

I cannot stress this enough: your activism makes a real difference at the state level. Your call can move a key senator's vote.
