Realtor here to speak in opposition has some pretty wild comments. "This would destroy my single family home only neighborhood. ...this would create regionalism which I DEFINITELY oppose." This is about destroying suburban one home per lot neighborhoods."

Important point about the "fee out" option for inclusionary requirements for housing. Affordable Housers like fee outs generally, because they build housing with those funds. LA org Housing is a Human Right doesn't because they want on-site affordable.https://twitter.com/dillonliam/status/1113194057705054209?s=19 …
YIMBY Action added,
Liam DillonVerified account @dillonliamA good, wonky question by Sen.@SenMariaEDurazo. SB 50 allows for developers to pay a fee instead of building low-income housing on site. Why? Wiener says that's at the request of low-income developers and conversations are ongoing. (This is important for where housing would go.)Show this thread1 reply 0 retweets 2 likesShow this thread -

Laura BlissVerified account @mslaurablissFirst#SB50 hearing in Sacramento today. California housing makes strange bedfellows. Yes: green orgs, housing developers, and YIMBYs (blue shirts). No/concerned: historic preservationists, suburban homeowner groups, tenants rights orgs like Housing is a Human Right (red shirts). pic.twitter.com/5KelsShPC6Show this thread1 reply 0 retweets 5 likesShow this thread -

6/1 in favor and it is a shoe-in to pass the committee.
They'll hear #SB4 now and hold open the vote.
But you can still celebrate.pic.twitter.com/Xez6nYgKGo

Liam DillonVerified account @dillonliamCalifornia’s#SB50 is passing the Senate housing committee. Takeaways from the hearing: * Negotiations with Sen.@ilike_mike, who is opposed, will take place before the next hearing April 24. * Broader support this year but opponents still come from rich and poor communities.Show this thread1 reply 0 retweets 0 likesShow this thread -
