    The New York Times editorial board emphatically endorses #SB50, the #MoreHOMES Act, as a strategy to close CA’s 3.5M home housing deficit in a sustainable way: “It is time to rewrite the rules: The solution to California’s housing crisis is more housing.”https://www.nytimes.com/2019/04/27/opinion/california-housing.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share …

        NY Times: “Opponents of the legislation also seem confused about the mechanics of the marketplace. The spread of gentrification in CA is driven by the lack of housing. The state’s population continues to grow; the question confronting policymakers is where to put those people.”

        NY Times: “Under the current rules, the state’s effective plan is to cede urban areas to the wealthy while forcing less affluent families to live on the state’s ever-more-distant suburban fringes.”

        NY Times: “The alternative of concentrating density along transit lines would allow more people to live in the parts of California with better jobs and services — and shorter commutes. That would mitigate economic inequality.”

        They should probably endorse a similar bill for New York.

        The answer is millions of people should move to other, smaller cities & towns around the country. There is so much redevelopment & space available it's off the charts. Connect via high speed trains. It's not new urban centers we need, it's revitalization of old.

        Yes, except for rail. Rail is a 19th century answer to a 21st century problem. Our high-speed connection to remote business locations should be via gigabit fiber optic. In the majority of situations, it's not necessary to be in-person. This is the necessary paradigm shift.

        Borderland Books Cafe is the second cafe to close recently on Valencia Street because of lack of labor supply. Housing shortage directly hurts merchants, and I'm surprised they haven't applied more pressure on #NIMBY BOS.

        the leading affordable housing org in SMC uses this as an organizing tactic, they go around to businesses and encourage support for housing.

        and, more urban density, in an age when electrification and alternative energy #solar are coming, is very unnecessary. Yesterday's war. Also, higher urban density increases odds of #pandemic. Love me the @NYT, but they are wrong on this, as is CA.

        When do you think the average new building will get to net zero emissions including transportation etc?
