Hey 👋 @California_HCD and @AGRobBonta, Tonight the city of @lagunabeachgov 🏖️approved the first #SB4 💒project in #OrangeCounty! 🍊Thought you should know we do get it right on occasion. Thanks @Scott_Wiener for #SB4! We put it to good use tonight! 🏡 #YIGBY #YIMBY

Tonight we are in @lagunabeachgov for the 1st #SB4 project in OC! City's RHNA is 80 LI units; so far, none have been built. This project would add 28 units of affordable housing. The site is in the city's housing element and has the protection of the HAA. They are using 46% SDBL.

These planning commissioners really understand their purview under SB4 & limitations on their discretion to design review. Most importantly, they are actually supportive of adding affordable housing to their community. Passed 4-0. Feels like Christmas!🎄

Public comment is interesting -- lots and lots of support from residents in this liberal beach town. The naysayers are all people who live adjacent or within a block of the site & are upset about the views from their dining room sitting at the table v. standing on the deck. 🙄

Los Angeles isn't going to fix ULA. If the governor and/or state legislature don't step in, a lot of money is about to flood into a ballot initiative that will blow up local government budgets across California, especially in the Bay Area.

Wow! Unanimous support for AB 1903, which aims to end the onslaught of frivolous litigation that makes it impossible to build condos in California—key to reviving homeownership. Still a ways to go, but @BuffyWicks has a way of making the impossible seem inevitable.

This is a damn good voter guide if you align with the Abundance/YIMBY crowds. And it's got OC candidates 🙏!

[M. Nolan Gray 🥑 @mnolangray]

Thank you to the nearly 200 advocates who took time off school/work and traveled from every part of California to Sacramento yesterday for YIMBY Lobby Day. Your pro-housing advocacy with legislators and staff makes a world of difference!

Here's a recap of the discussion among the council members that resulted in the illegal denial of the #BuildersRemedy project -- 32 townhomes -- by the #Fullerton City Council on 5/5/26. 😵‍💫

Despite all the letters, warnings and briefings to the contrary, tonight the #Fullerton City Council denied the #BuildersRemedy project at Harbor & Hermosa. Now we wait to see who among all the letters submitted will actually sue.

@EN_parker Exactly! $13M has gone missing on their watch, and now they are purposely wasting more!

Kinda reminds me of this one in Glendale-- the redevelopment of the Sears building. City Council knew it was a bad idea when they did it. And then they had to un-do it. https://t.co/beoglflQuf

Forgot to post this picture: even with all the Dos and Don'ts spelled out before them, the City Council could not get to yes.
