But surely more density will fix our housing issues.

My pal Wm Wittman just suggested: "Democrats should propose an assault weapons ban and title it the Supreme Court Justice Protection Act." Brill! @SpeakerPelosi @POTUS @SenSchumer @SenateDems @PeteButtigieg @AdamSchiff @GabbyGiffords @staceyabrams @davidhogg111 @VP @SenatorDurbin

Hey YIMBY! Who are we building all this housing FOR?
Short answer: Investors!
Oh, did you hope 'build more' led (someday) to decreased prices?
Here's what increased density did for Vancouver.

Thank you, Torrance, Redondo Beach and Carson, for calling the state out on bullsh#t pretense that dozens of laws pushed thru Sacto are intended to fix the affordable housing crisis.
Rather, they are beautifully crafted to enhance profits for corporate investors + developers.
"The...law doesn’t mention additional traffic, public safety + infrastructure needs req'd by added density that “has not been considered in our planning.. and even if it were considered in our planning, it doesn’t mean that we have the capacity to handle the changes in land use.”
Well, whaddya know. A little bit of truth was allowed to escape in the RHNA Audit Report. Stay tuned for more facts.
Perhaps that's because we all know (and some even admit) that the RHNA numbers "the state says it needs" are outrageously, incorrectly, fixed! Here's to finally having an Audit. Maybe truth will come out? Probably not so much! #DeveloperGifts #FollowTheMoney

It also makes NO SENSE for you to continue to ignore all the facts and allow coal workers and KY citizens to believe that mining is a smart thing (for anyone but you and your broker) and yet you do just that! #FollowTheMoney
WATCH: It makes no sense at all for the United States to be buying millions of barrels of Russian oil and other petroleum products while Russia attacks the free and sovereign nation of Ukraine. That's why I'm calling on @POTUS to immediately stop all imports from Russia.

Here’s to the meat-eating vegetarians and the “anti-capitalist Yimbys”…

Rather than a court battle over SB 9 and SB 10, the city of Woodside and Wiener have agreed to a single round, no-holds-barred fight – winner take all. Woodside has Skippy, the mountain lion, on their side.The vultures are already waiting.. @dillonliam @ilike_mike @Scott_Wiener
Just say No...to developers!
Thank you, Mr Vikstrom.
“You think you’re going to destroy my island with that stupidity?” he recalled responding to the developers, who opened their bids decades ago at $500,000.
"Developers pleaded to buy his island for years. He said no…"

Hey YIMBYS. Surprise, surprise. Big money is coming to town they are building for profit and not to provide you with affordable housing. almanacnews.com/news/2021/12…

Remember the YIMBY claim that no one wants to disallow others from having single-family homes? This proposal is from YIMBY dominated Culver City, which has a lot of its single-family homes on R-2 zoned lots. A “floor on number of units” almost surely would forbid only one unit.
If you didn't understand before what these bills do, and what our initiative is about, this is kind of all you need to read!
“While the developers will certainly come for every neighborhood eventually, they will target low-income communities first where the profit margins are highest because land costs are the lowest.”
Thanks Mayor Enander for standing up & fighting back! ourneighborhoodvoices.com/wh…

Politicians have handed a blank check to developers to build six units or more right next to our homes w/o new contributions to new transit, schools, or roads — & without our ability to speak out about what’s happening. Help us fight back & win here: ourneighborhoodvoices.com/

Working families don't have the funds it takes to split lots. Developers do. When it comes down to a fight btw an average CA family trying to buy a home & a developer trying to upzone that same lot - our families will lose. Stand up for CA families here: ourneighborhoodvoices.com/
And here I thought the desire for local control is exactly why we have Charter Cities in California, where it should remain a sacred principle, as well! #PressComplicitInSilence #DeveloperGreed @RegJeffCollins @MichaelSmolens @acbowen @VP @ByIanJames #OurNeighborhoodVoices.com
"Maine is different from [California and Oregon]. The desire for local control is a sacred principle in politics here." bangordailynews.com/2021/12/…
So, how do you justify now the decision to tell those same black communities, who've worked so hard to overcome those roadblocks, that they now don't deserve to have homes with yards and lawns?

Actually CA law states that a proposition is only allowed to address a single issue. Unlike our Legislators who, indeed, would've been allowed to include requirement for affordable units in their bills. Clearly that wasn't an oversight! @RegJeffCollins @dillonliam @MichaelSmolens
