.... 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 …Kim-Mai Cutler added,
Liam DillonVerified account @dillonliamMay was a bloodbath for California housing bills. Highest-profile zoning measure#SB50 fails. Nearly all renter protection bills fail — save a measure to cap rents at about 10% annually for the next three years but it lacks strong teeth to prevent evictions in lieu of rent hikes3 replies 8 retweets 27 likesShow this thread -

Nancy SkinnerVerified account @NancySkinnerCAFantastic! The California Senate, on a 28-7 vote, just approved my legislation,#SB330, the Housing Crisis act of 2019!

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/ …2 replies 4 retweets 46 likesShow 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 …Kim-Mai Cutler added,

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. (La Cañada Flintridge has a median $1.7M home value, or more than SF).https://twitter.com/awalkerinLA/status/1141778270897213440 …Kim-Mai Cutler added,

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 …
