This is a very big deal. Allowing the separate sale of ADUs opens up huge opportunities for starter home ownership in our cities. Great job, San Jose!

"A big part of how I've envisioned the role will be doing that: being an explainer-in-chief. And also doing stuff that most Lieutenant Governors don't do, like testifying on every single bill (from CEQA reform to transit-oriented development)." - Michael Tubbs

"Not because it's in my job description. Not because Lt Gov is the authority. But because leadership demands action. It's the right thing to do. We have a problem. We don't have enough housing. We need every tool in the toolbox to build more housing." - Michael Tubbs

"An object at rest tends to stay at rest. You have to push, and it's going to take leadership to do that." - Michael Tubbs Watch the full episode of Radio Abundance: yimbydems.substack.com/p/in-the-arena…

Time to end the White House cover-up.

New Yorkers stand up and fight back 👊

Before running for Mayor, Michael Tubbs' brother was murdered. His father's been incarcerated for his entire life. As Mayor of Stockton, Michael's administration reduced homicides by 40% and shootings by 30%. So, how did he do it? @michaeldtubbs tells us on Radio Abundance.

👎 When the 2030 Census hits, the electoral map will change. Dems could win every state Biden won, sweep the Blue Wall in every election, & still lose the Presidency & House for a generation. ‘Progressives’ who block housing in Blue States are MAGA Fascists’ strongest soldiers.

I’m wondering when the “making America great” part is going to kick-in.

When the LA city council opposed our first transit oriented upzoning bill on local control grounds in 2018, rent was $1,663. They have opposed every subsequent bill with the same rationale: trust us, we will fix it ourselves. Now rent is $2,625. Enough is enough. Pass SB 79.
