at a time when we’re more isolated from each other than ever, the theatrical experience has never been more important. they may not be perfect, but theaters are some of the few places left that bring people of all walks of life together to escape whatever we endure in the day-to-day and allow us to laugh as one, cry as one, feel as one, and belong to something bigger than ourselves. even if you’re there alone, you’re never truly alone.
theaters are an essential cornerstone of every community, and i shudder to think of a future without them - one where the sadness and division that already corrupts our culture has increased tenfold and further eroded our empathy. the erasure of the theatrical experience isn’t just anti-art, it’s anti-humanity.
The most consequential housing bill I’ve ever worked on has now passed the Assembly and Senate, and is on its way to the governor.
This is DESPITE a huge number of LA’s politicians voting against it (or not voting).
We WILL make California more affordable, with or without them.
My latest column: One of CA’s most powerful Dems wants to exempt a single project in her district from new CEQA reforms. Not only could this chill development statewide, it signals CA gives special treatment to rich areas repped by influential lawmakers. https://t.co/kp5CwDJ6n8
Is the incoming leader of the California senate sneakily trying to kill a proposed 250 unit apartment building in Santa Barbara via a budget trailer bill?
It certainly seems like it! 🧵

Incredible to see such forceful attacks on the "progressive" procedural gunk stymieing delivery of Dem priorities from so many top Biden Administration officials.
1/3
This is one of those stories that could only happen in California:
1. Mayor of Los Angeles issues an executive directive making it fast & easy to build 100% affordable housing.
2. She doesn’t include any new public money in the order, so it’s supposed to just be a fake messaging thing.
3. But there normal process to build housing in CA is so terrible, new policies that make it easy to build can be profitable (even for affordable housing).
4. So private developers start building a ton of new housing using this streamlined process.
5. Faced with a surprising pro-housing supply policy success, the mayor immediately started amending the directive to be more burdensome and revert to the status quo.
The end 🫠
