@dillonliam @manuelatobiasm Sad to hear, but you were 100% more than interesting and informative! The podcast was essential listening that *welcomed* ppl of any background to grow their understanding the most pressing issue facing CA. I'll miss the show–and the avocados. Keep us posted on the next project!

[Louis Abramson @LouisForCA]

@VoiceWestside He is indeed!

[Louis Abramson @LouisForCA]

I love that the Lower Decks and SNW teams did what they just did.

Love it love it love it.

@joe_antognini Apparently, at the same time, we kept sending uranium to the USSR via lend-lease b/c it was thought that denying it would tip them off that something was going on.

I don't know why the Soviets wanted uranium, but it was an order we filled!

[Louis Abramson @LouisForCA]

@heygalia I doubt Roger will be in it but maybe!

[Louis Abramson @LouisForCA]

This is great.

[Shane Phillips @ShaneDPhillips]

My colleagues at @UCLALewisCenter, UC Davis, UC and Berkeley have published a new tool for measuring whether cities are "affirmatively furthering fair housing" in their land use plans, using several California cities as case studies. Quick thread.🧵 https://t.co/3iLbxDWOmS

[Louis Abramson @LouisForCA]

@heygalia Here for it.

[Louis Abramson @LouisForCA]

Strange New Worlds is frickin great.

@dankmccoy Congrats Dan! The Flop House is always a bright spot in my week. Thank you for putting smiles on my face for so many years. Looking forward to many more!

[Louis Abramson @LouisForCA]

This is 💯💯💯

In Judaism, we believe in Tikkun Olam - a calling to serve humanity and help repair the world.

There is no greater service that LA’s faith communities could do than to provide shelter to those suffering on our streets. SB4 would help us do that work. https://t.co/XyqTyEPhzV

[Louis Abramson @LouisForCA]

Good good. It’s important for the entirety of the district to move forward here. Thanks Rick.

[Jesse Zwick @jessezwick]

Good comments by @RickChavezZbur!

He notes that the bill already has good guardrails for coastal areas, as it only applies to infill residential zones, etc. Wants more work on wildfire zones, notes that Weiner shares these goals, and so he will be supporting it today.

[Louis Abramson @LouisForCA]

Building infill housing is the best thing my part of CA and one of the best things all of CA could do to combat climate change.

Adding housing near jobs and transit is good environmental policy––and good social policy, economic policy, homelessness policy...

To afford to buy a home in Southern California, this housekeeper at two L.A. hotels commutes three hours, sleeps in her car during the week and has her husband commute in so she doesn't fall asleep at the wheel when coming back on weekends https://t.co/8dS6ZyFLOj

[Liam Dillon @dillonliam]

A bill to limit so-called "crime-free" housing policies in California — the subject of a 2020 Times investigation on their disproportionate effects on Black and Latino tenants — cleared another legislative committee today.

[Louis Abramson @LouisForCA]

These stats come as no surprise to those working on housing and homelessness in LA.

Arbitrarily powerful people can push arbitrarily hard on the current system. But until we actually redesign that system, we’ll see results like this.

Happy 4th of July everyone.

If there’s a part of this union you can help perfect, may tonight’s BBQ fuel tomorrow’s work. 🇺🇸💪

[Louis Abramson @LouisForCA]

This.

@cafedujord Even better: high enough frequency that schedules don't really matter
