The scope of CA’s fire recovery & housing challenges are huge — and so too is our ambition in the Assembly. Looking forward to working w/AsmMattHaney & all of my other colleagues to make it easier to build, and to make housing more affordable for families across California.

This 💯 Process has gotten in the way of progress. It’s too damn hard to build anything in CA, which has made our beautiful state too expensive. CA needs a total shift in mindset & meaningful, thoughtful policy reform. Appreciate the perspective of Ezra Klein & @dkthomp:

“Crashed” the press conference? He’s a sitting US Senator representing millions of constituents in the nation’s most populous state. He has every right to question a Cabinet member.

From Wilma Chan Park and the streets of Oakland to peaceful protests nationwide, our message is clear: power belongs to the people. We reject authoritarianism — because in this country, there are no kings.

Hard to see me in this photo, but I’m proud to be part of it — standing with SEIU California after presenting AB 1340, legislation that would give hundreds of thousands of rideshare drivers in California the right to unionize. Passed Senate Labor this morning 4-1!

I honestly can barely believe this happened. Total YIMBY victory in California today. After Newsom signs this bill; CEQA will no longer apply to *any* infill housing under 85’. No inclusionary zoning or labor provisions.

I just enacted the most game-changing housing reforms in recent California history. We're urgently embracing an abundance agenda by tearing down the barriers that have delayed new affordable housing and infrastructure for decades. Let’s get building, California.

I can't believe that this takes effect *immediately.* What a baller move. We no longer live in a world where CEQA can block critically needed housing in California's cities.

CEQA reform means "saying 'no housing in my community' is no longer state sanctioned,"" said Asm. Buffy Wicks. San Francisco Business Times breaks down what last night's "historic breakthrough" will change on the ground in San Francisco: bizjournals.com/sanfrancisco/n…
