LA Mayor Karen Bass is requesting a veto on transit-oriented development bill SB 79, which is headed to Gavin Newsom's desk: "While SB 79 allows for local ordinances as an alternative compliance, it does not provide a viable path for a pro-housing city like Los Angeles"
September 17, 2025 The Honorable Gavin Newsom Governor, State of California 1021 O Street, Suite 9000 Sacramento, CA 95814 RE: SB 79 (Wiener) - Housing development: transit-oriented development Los Angeles Mayor Bass - REQUEST FOR VETO Dear Governor Newsom, I write to respectfully request your veto on Senate Bill 79 (Wiener). While I support the intent to accelerate housing development statewide, as written, Senate Bill 79 (SB 79) risks significant unintended consequences for many of Los Angeles' diverse communities. As Mayor, creating more affordable housing remains a top priority, and I have cut red tape and spearheaded local initiatives, such as the Citywide Housing Incentive Program, to accelerate housing development. We must create more housing near transit hubs and areas with access to jobs, education, and amenities. We must streamline the production of housing for all Angelenos. However, we must do so in a way that does not erode local control, diminish community input on planning and zoning, and disproportionately impact low-resource neighborhoods. The City of Los Angeles has already made substantial efforts to align with state housing goals and increase housing development citywide and will continue to do so. While SB 79 allows for local ordinances as an alternative compliance, it does not provide a viable path for a pro-housing city like Los Angeles. For these reasons, I respectfully request your veto on SB 79. Sincerely, Kaven Bass KAREN BASS Mayor

Hats off to advocates in SF for fighting for transit funding. (And nice shirt.)
With Bay Area transit funding on ‘life support,’ advocates rally in S.F. for state money
While there’s concern Gov. Newsom’s office will table a key transit loan until next year, politicians suggest there’s still hope for the funding measure to find approval before this week’s...

UPDATE: The Senate parliamentarian advised lawmakers that they couldn't use the Congressional Review Act to revoke California's right to set vehicle standards. But they did it anyway. Expect a legal fight.

Cutting federal funding for clean transportation programs harms people across the country.

The #ChargingUsForward Communities map shows what's at risk, with real people sharing how publicly funded clean transportation projects have helped them.

In a truly tectonic Overton Window shift, the California Assembly just voted 63-0 to advance #AB609, a major new bill by Buffy Wicks to create a statutory exemption from CEQA for environmentally friendly infill housing.

Fantastic news for both housing and the environment!

Another 4.3" (11 cm) of #snow over the last day brings our season total to 362.99" (922 cm), ~3" (7 cm) over our median annual snowfall of 360" (915 cm).

We had 100% of April 1 median for SWE and are now above average for accumulation too! 1/2

Removing people to a third country to be imprisoned in a foreign gulag is also not deportation as it is typically understood. We can't allow these terms to be redefined.

It is legally impossible to deport citizens. This is not deportation. Removing citizens to foreign prisons, knowing to a certainty that they will be subjected to treatment that violates the U.S. constitution, doesn’t deserve any label that connotes legal legitimacy.
