      Some talk about how local governments have been demonized. @Scott_Wiener talks about how its a structural problem in our decision-making. "We have set this up that city council members have to walk the plank every week." (See Embarcadero Nav Center for details.)

      "We have to move away from this idea of 'good actors' and 'bad actors' and away from this idea that housing is punishment. We've said 'If you’re bad, if you’re naughty, we punish you with housing.' ...Housing is a benefit." - Senator @Scott_Wiener

      Senator @Jimbealljr says he will only support #SB50 if it's part of a package, especially a package that includes funding. Probably will be similar to the Bay Area #CASA compact, if things go as predicted.

      The official vote will take place shortly, but folks are starting to count votes:https://twitter.com/dillonliam/status/1121116245825216513 …

      By my count, we’re at five likely yes votes today for #SB50, Democrats @Scott_Wiener, @ilike_mike, @Jimbealljr and two Republicans @SenatorMoorlach and Sen. Nielsen. Needs four votes to pass.

          "This bill goes a long way with the amendments that were taken in relation to bus stops. ...one size doesn't fit all...with these amendments only the highest quality bus stops will be included," says Senator @ilike_mike.

          Reiteration of the amendments they're taking and how complicated they are. They have already been misreported (by not us) so keep an eye out for thorough analysis of these amendments.

          Pass as amended? 5-0 vote, with some abstaining. It will pass!
