California is in a BUDGET DEFICIT, I still don’t see why we are subsidizing empty vacation homes in the millions annually. There is a proposed $500 million cut in state LIHTC funding this year, what are our priorities?? Shout out Asm. @alex_lee for taking on MID reform again!

General meeting is Wednesday at 630P, the topic is Foundations of Affordable Housing.
The City of Los Altos charges a Public Arts impact fee of 1% of hard costs for multifamily developments. That'll be like $6000 for a 1000 sq ft condo. For art. Nexus study says the below. How does this make sense?
Don't forget to sign up! Come learn why neighborhoods are still segregated and how we can make housing equitable for everyone. Thursday, May 9 at 1pm PT | 4pm ET bit.ly/3TpwUuu
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
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…
Whats notable about this Austin rent trend is that its coinciding with massive tech worker growth. Illustrating that it wasnt a given an in-migrarion of tech workers into San Francisco would lead to non stop rent spikes for 20 years.
Here's a great visualization: Austin's rent relative to the country (@zillow's measure) is now the lowest it has been in at least a decade.
it’s wild that coastal cities have spent years debating if YIMBY policies will lower rents, and Austin just… did it they streamlined permitting, upzoned most of the city, and eliminated parking mandates. Tons of housing is going up and rents are plummeting. YIMBY policies work
Congratulations to @KrampusSnail! Holding it down in Los Altos and surrounding cities! @SouthBayYIMBY @MVyimby @penforeveryone
And finally… our 2024 YIMBY Activist Award for Lifelong Activist goes to Anne Paulson! Anne is one of our CA Housing Elements Watchdogs. She's been a member since 2020, and she has taken all kinds of actions from policy work to op-eds and much more. We're lucky to have her!🤩
This particular section of the interview highlights a critical piece of creating change. We need our elected officials to take action. How do we get electeds to act? By building political power and letting our reps know that pro-housing policy is a top priority for voters.
@NPRKelly recently spoke with @AlexHrwtz of the @pewtrusts Housing Policy Initiative about how the housing shortage is impacting housing costs, what factors impact our lack of housing supply, and what we can do to solve the shortage. Check it out! npr.org/2024/04/23/124…

The area around Tamien Station in San Jose really has so much potential for transit oriented development. Looks like most development is on the other side the freeway for now so I hope this West Alma projects is joined by some new proposals in the future.
Tomorrow night, our Project Advocacy Committee will take a look at 544 W Alma Ave, a 100% affordable, 91-unit, five-story building situated along the Guadalupe River near the Tamien Station area. For more project and meeting details... 1/2 🧵
City officials be like "We gotta ban Airbnbs because they're taking up too much of our housing," but then they won't build any hotels and reject new housing.
Very happy to see AB1932 to eliminate the MID on vacation houses & non primary houses PASS out of committee yesterday!!! Proud to join the effort led by @AsmChrisWard
On Monday, the Assembly Rev & Tax committee will hear a bill that would eliminate the state tax break for mortgage interest on vacation homes, which would be a small but important step toward making the state’s tax system more fair. 🧵

Reducing minimum lot sizes is the easiest thing we can do to revive the dying starter home. Glad to see it catching on!
I’m excited for the #ATX planning commission meeting tonight discussing minimum lot sizes! Austin has the opportunity to legalize small lot homes common in many American cities. In this video, I discuss how these and other housing reforms are very good for the Latino community.
Yesterday in a committee of the Legislature, the California Coastal Commission defended its decision to block a new small apartment in this area because it is "a naturally affordable community." RT if you cannot afford this.

Dense, infill housing is a climate issue. Some environmental organizations get this. However, other orgs don’t & have a big blind spot — viewing it as someone else’s problem to solve or, with some orgs, showing outright hostility to pro-housing policies. This has to change.
This bill is key to building more housing in the coast and reducing segregation there. That means the normal people are all vehemently opposed. Please call your Assemblymember to support AB 2560!
