“A NEW ERA” for ways of knowing and being 😊
Paul’s at the forefront of American housing policy. Tying together YIMBYism, public finance, and public development, he’s building *the model* for American social housing.
Now he’s been appointed to Zohran’s Transition Committee on Housing. We at @publicenterprise.bsky.social couldn’t be prouder!

stop using the phrase “more affordable housing”
instead use “more-affordable housing” or “more affordable-housing” depending on what you mean. (you should know the distinction.

Remember when this guy used to put effort into trying to persuade people that their policies based on populist prejudices were wrong? Me neither.
I think the American right is in fact correct about several things and it would be wise to concede that.

So what exactly do NIMBYs mean when they say SB 79 will make them “lose what makes their neighborhoods so incredibly special”??

While he's less of a prominent Poaster than other members of the @cayimby.bsky.social team, @aceckhouse.bsky.social put in WORK managing the policy development of SB 79 and he deserves more public recognition than he'll get.

After watching the interview, it’s clear---Katie Porter doesn’t have the temperament to be Governor. As a candidate, I welcome the hard questions---the next governor must be accessible and transparent.
No place for temper tantrums. No place for dodging the public’s right to know.

Spend $11 Billion to Build a 20 Mile Freeway Viaduct vs Just Go Around
Caltrans has released a cross section for the ultimate (raised viaduct) version of SR-37.
Now maybe I'm just being paranoid, but if you were building a road that you planned to keep at 4 lanes wide, I don't think it would look like this.

If @gavinnewsom.bsky.social doesn’t sign SB79, then he’s not really serious about California’s future representation in Congress and we all should just vote No on Prop 50 in that case.

Two things can be true at the same time:
- building more homes lowers rental prices
- being *able* to build more homes increases property values
- building more homes lowers rental prices
- being *able* to build more homes increases property values
I just want to say again that building more densely very often does *increase* hyperlocal property values because density brings amenities.
this sometimes gets glossed over.

i agree that building more housing is a good thing! but their own polling shows the average voter has a folk theory of politics where higher supply means higher prices and that they fucking hate any non-SFH zoning!
