Tomorrow evening, it's time to turn out in support of the Food Bin's mixed-use housing project! This housing would be a great option for students or other folks who don't need a car and want convenient access to campus or downtown.

The Coastal Commission’s allies say they should block market rate homes. The Commission implies they are pro-housing. But they’re opposing incentives for mixed-income infill buildings and described one with 117 affordable homes as enriching “billionaires and corrupt kleptocrats”

It’s time for serious reform at @TheCACoast — they are an impediment to building the housing and safe multimodal streets that we need.

Last day to review/comment on City's draft application to HUD's Pathways to Removing Obstacles to Housing Grant Program for Preserving and Promoting Housing Affordability and Climate Resilience in Front Line Communities of Santa Cruz, CA! loom.ly/uE0fB60
These planning commissioners are spot on: Santa Cruz is among only 6% of cities statewide meeting housing production goals, and we’re doing it thanks to state laws that make our very high affordability requirements more feasible, resulting in more affordable homes being built!

Come talk housing with us! Our next meet up is just around the corner on April 5th at 5:30pm. We will be at Pono in Capitola with special guest @manukoenig, can't wait to see you there!
Hearing Notice! Support letters must be submitted by 5pm on March 20th! calegislation.lc.ca.gov/Advocates/
Greenway and Trail Now are at it again, this time asking the City of Santa Cruz to stop everything and remove the rail line before building any more trail. Don’t let these obstructionists delay the trail!
RHNA goes up for the victor

Friends of the Santa .. @FriendsSCPL
664 Followers 145 Following The Friends of the Santa Cruz Public Libraries support the Santa Cruz City-County Library System through fundraising, volunteer services, and advocacy.I did a PRA of the @TheCACoast Commission's fight against AB 1287, which sought to apply Density Bonus Law to the coast - nothing here surprises someone who believes they are ideologically committed preserving authority to stop mixed income projects, but two things stand out:
Since when is it the Coastal Commission's job to ensure affordable housing, or to decide which housing is good and bad, especially outside of environmental concerns? We have other agencies for that — people who actually have expertise in the field.
The California Coastal Commission is doing the meme. politico.com/newsletters/ca…
.@TheCACoast must be reigned in by the state legislature. They are an out of control agency that blocks needed housing and transportation reform in the name of environmental protection 🙃
Why in the hell has a state agency @TheCACoast hired lobbyists to influence legislature and PR pros to fight them?! they have it backwards - it’s the LEGISLATURE that sets policy. Their job to implement. Not other way around. Bureaucracy out of control politico.com/newsletters/ca…
I believe in the Coastal Act’s mission of public access to the coast, but its skepticism of housing harms access. The Coastal Commission shouldn’t block housing in environmentally beneficial places for it. Let’s modernize the Coastal Act. Thanks @politicoca and @dustingardiner
"Louis Mirante, vp of public policy at the Bay Area Council, a pro-business advocacy group, has helped lead the effort to curtail the commission’s authority. It arguably hasn’t faced such a challenge since voters approved the Coastal Act of 1972..." politico.com/newsletters/ca…
To make housing broadly affordable, we should just build a lot of homes in the places people want to live. This really isn’t that complicated.
Half of all *market-rate* rental housing built since 2010 in Sacramento is affordable at 80% AMI and fully 9 out of 10 units are affordable at 120% AMI. We should be honest that "workforce" affordable housing programs are almost certainly a distraction
Not to worry though — if anyone tries to, say, have outdoor seating at their restaurant, which is by the water, with a view, and incredible weather, the Coastal Commission will be there to make sure they only allow car parking instead. obrag.org/2023/05/city-c…
But they’re actually fair in their denying of sustainable transport access to and along the coast — they also block bus lanes! montereycountynow.com/news/local_new…
Ah yes, it’s me, the California Coastal Commission, protecting coastal access and habitat by … … blocking protected bike lanes. At the beach. youtu.be/NEBjip4zVV4?fe…
The fact that there are nowhere near enough parking spots to accommodate beach access for all Californians kind of gives away the game: The California Coastal Commission is a state-chartered Coastal Homeowner’s Association for the richest humans on the face of the planet.
The airport's director maintains that the runway closure, if it goes through, would have only a “marginal” impact on airport operations. The asphalt isn’t going anywhere, and will still be available to accommodate pilots and the community in future emergencies, he said.

@louismirante If the CCC was actually doing its job, there would be bus transfer stations at every State Beach with bus service 6x an hour.
The Coastal Commission’s allies say they should block market rate homes. The Commission implies they are pro-housing. But they’re opposing incentives for mixed-income infill buildings and described one with 117 affordable homes as enriching “billionaires and corrupt kleptocrats”
Second, Coastal Staff rotely repeat that the coast does not need more market-rate housing, which is false. They refer to the project above (which would build 117 homes affordable to low income people) as "padding the profit margins of luxury developers". Here's an example:
@coreysmith_17 @SantaCruzYIMBY @uhshanti Geez, this really seems like it should be a 'per building' tax, not a 'per hookup' tax. That way it's cheap for apartments, expensive for... Well, single family homes like mine. Because we're the ones with lines strung out where they'll get hit by weather.
