.... and California's whole housing package basically fell apart except for a rent cap bill that sunsets in three years and isn't really enforceable because
@robbonta's parallel just cause eviction bill failed. This is just embarrassing.https://twitter.com/dillonliam/status/1134169218788683776 …Show this thread -

No thanks to useless
@toniatkins and@GavinNewsom, who campaigned on fixing CA's deficit of 3.5M homes but... uh... has little to show for it. Also undermining HSR, which would've been a stepping stone to fixing mass transit in the South Bay, peninsula.https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2019/02/governor-newsom-addresses-californias-housing-crisis/582892/ …Show this thread -

CA voters aren't dumb. They know to build near transit, jobs and not to extend into land that isn't defensible to climate change. But the housing package died last month on
@gavinnewsom,@toniatkins' watch. And the gov won't rule out building in firezones.https://twitter.com/dillonliam/status/1141000502408167424 …Show this thread -
After
@portantino kills the most significant attempt to address California housing shortage, he somehow pilfers the state's budget for money to fund a tech accelerator in his district.
