This morning, I signed Executive Directive 7 to accelerate MORE HOUSING for Angelenos of ALL income levels.

It's time to expedite and convert existing buildings into housing to ensure everyone can find a place they can afford to call home.

Thrilled and honored to have the support of the @LAnewliberals in advocating for the LA city governance reforms I recommend in "The Dysfunctional Metropolis."

[🌮LA New Liberals 🌐 @LANewLiberals]

Dear friends, after hearing from the excellent @jacobson_em of @cayimby last month, we have prepared a template letter to the LA City Council Ad Hoc Committee on City Governance Reform asking them to take up her report's recommendations for discretionary review reform. ⬇️

[Julie Bush @julie_bush]

in all the BARBIE discourse, i don’t see anyone talking about the female audience. BARBIE is opening to $155+ million!! we are a vastly underserved audience. we’re 51% of the population. the majority male executives think we don’t matter, don’t spend, don’t need to be marketed to

@mnolangray @Skarlinsky @cayimby Stay for @Skarlinsky's thoughtful and compassionate comments about why land use issues become so emotional in the second half.

[Emily Jacobson @jacobson_em]

I had so much fun chatting with @mnolangray and @Skarlinsky about land use policy and processes in Los Angeles and other cities on this episode of Abundance. @cayimby https://t.co/Z2eo6Bxq8X

[Emily Jacobson @jacobson_em]

Is this what it took for the LA City Council to move to codify ED1?
