Working for better options for housing and transportation in Redwood City

[big_pedestrian @big_pedestrian]

I moved back to CA in the 90s. I had a good job, and still had a terrible time finding housing; at one point half my income went to rent for a room. What I understand now is this was deliberate. The result of decades of housing opposition and zoning. #SupportYIMBY @yimbyaction

It’s been a long road but I’m so pleased to see @LesterHoltNBC and @NBCNightlyNews feature our legislation to pursue equitable zoning. Go Berkeley!

AB1401 will eliminate costly and environmentally harmful parking mandates within 1/2 mile of transit. We are thrilled to see that AB1401 passed the Assembly yesterday with a 50-17 vote! Big shoutout to @AsmRichardBloom for his support.

Redwood City is one of the most progressive cities on the peninsula and a leader in evidence based policy. It’s time to rethink parking minimums. @lissetteforrwc @gisellemarie @RWCforward

How is this not every downtown on the Peninsula? Do we not like good things?

Accessory Commercial Units add visual interest, affordable rents for small, local businesses and are a much more productive use of valuable infill land than scraggly grass or ornamental plantings. @RWCforward

First impression of a car-free State St in #SantaBarbara - so quiet and peaceful to walk and stroll along.

Such a rarity in CA where pedestrian streets remain a rarity. #WalkCA

Assemblymember Friedman just announced her AB 1401 which will eliminate local parking requirements for residential and commercial buildings near transit and in low-VMT areas. #CALeg

Quick-build projects are the best way to give Californians more transportation choices quickly and with minimal expense.

Minimum parking requirements... subsidize cars, increase traffic congestion and carbon emissions, pollute the air and water, encourage sprawl, raise housing costs, damage the economy, degrade urban design, reduce walkability, and exclude poor people. @DonaldShoup @RedwoodCity
