LA City Council just voted to delay implementing SB79 (more homes near transit), and chose a plan that allows for the least new housing possible - buildings only up to 4 stories. Some of the more progressive members on the council pushed for a compromise that STILL delays SB79 but allows 7 story buildings. Blocked. SB79 still will apply, eventually, and this just kicks the can down the road. But the complacency and lack of urgency is astounding.

@Timodc’s Norma Desmond comparison in today’s @BulwarkOnline podcast nearly made me drive off the road laughing. It snuck in out of nowhere and was A+!

[Zennon For State Senate @zennonuc]

Fascinating to see the stark rural/urban and north/south divide on #SB79, the biggest housing bill of the year.

Let’s dive into the details, and see how your State Senator voted. 👇

[Adam J. Fowler @adamjfowler]

Just called @BenAllenCA’s office (my Senator!) … and urged support. 💪🏠

[Abundant Housing LA @AbundantHousing]

This is LA's loneliest train station.

Call your state senator and ask them to vote YES on SB79 to address our housing crisis and improve public transit today! ⬇️

The U.S. needs national policy leadership to stay competitive in the global film and television industry—but tariffs are the wrong tool.

It’s one thing to announce a new round of tariffs. It’s another thing entirely to have the staffing and infrastructure to enforce them. Does CBP even have the capacity?

[Pew States @PewStates]

Stimulating the construction of badly needed new housing is going to require states and cities to get creative—and maybe a little wonky.

One example: Allowing small apartment buildings to have a single stairway.

They're just as safe as those with two. https://t.co/168gJK83Q3

[M. Nolan Gray 🥑 @mnolangray]

This should be a national scandal: Today, the LA County Board of Supervisors unanimously passed a resolution asking the state to suspend various legal protections for property owners in burned areas—their right to build a duplex or ADU, to reasonable permit timelines, and more.

[Adam J. Fowler @adamjfowler]

When did we liberals get so bad at economic issues? Raising wages is a step forward, but it won’t go far if there’s nothing to spend them on—like affordable housing. ‘Gotta pair higher pay with more housing units to truly tackle affordability.

This is why I revere hot labor markets: It forces employers to look at little harder at those they might otherwise ignore, bringing those who are often at the margins back into the fold.

Turner Classic Movies has been a fixture in my life for as long as I can remember. It’s a holy corner of film history — and a living, breathing library for an entire art form. Please don’t fuck with ⁦@tcm⁩. https://t.co/k37stLFOTN
