I find it hard to believe that @toniatkins genuinely wants to solve this brutal statewide housing crisis. She also let @MarkLeno’s Ellis Act reform bill die in an Assembly committee five years ago.

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

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.

We started the year with 200+ housing bills in the California state legislature, and this is all we have left. What a shame and embarrassment:https://twitter.com/dillonliam/status/1148364699957731328 …

Two or three years ago this bill would have been an amazing breakthrough, a national first of its kind. We have come a long way
