But Sup @RafaelMandelman isn't sure he can support because CASA "very clearly it supports a particular strategy: zoning from Sacramento.
..Local communities can receive the information about how many units they need to produce. Then when they do not, then having consequences."
"It is extremely difficult for young people to get started in the Bay Area. ...not even young doctors will move here. ...I have two teenagers who assume they will not be able to stay here."

Lots of talk about taxing business (which is fine) but not a lot of talk about how it is our regressive land taxes that are driving so many problems.
"We HAVE to think regionally. ...there are many people who may not re-elect me to sit on this body because of this vote. But we HAVE to think regionally." - Councilmember Carlos Romero from East Palo Alto Email him a thank you tonight: cromero@cityofepa.org
"I found myself homeless for 27 days...The only way I got myself housed was by paying 6 months rent.
I am a renter. I have no prospect of becoming a homeowner.. I am a lawyer. I am an elected official. CASA helps people like me."
- Napa Councilmember @BeliatheSupe
"The world depends on this region and our economic vitality."
"They say we have a housing crisis, but then they don't take action.
..if we had a health crisis, people would move quickly.
...but many people say, 'well, I've got a home, so how bad can it be?'"
- Sonoma Councilmember @DavidRabbitt
"We need more people, we need more types of housing... ...We all know it's true: certain jurisdictions do a lot to stop housing."
Sonoma is taking this crisis extremely seriously, and more of the elected officials need credit. Supervisor @DavidRabbitt is throwing just the right amount of shade on other jurisdictions.

Crowd gets a bit disruptive as landlord on ABAG talks about how he pays a lot of taxes and that business can't take too much, and there will be a taxpayer revolt. The landlords clap. Tenants mutter.
Marin is outlining how they're doing good. "We're doing our job, just as much as we can." YIMBYs look at one another meaningfully.pic.twitter.com/fW4ADltslF
We'll have the list of votes later... but for now... 21 votes YES. 9 votes NO. (one absent). CASA at ABAG passes!pic.twitter.com/4KgxBGIz5n
