I'm hearing some wild misinformation being spread by some opponents of SB 213 today. To clear it up - no, nothing in SB 213 requires cities to shut down commercial development along transit corridors. To quote actual bill language (1/2):
Senator Kirkmeyer, in particular, is concerned about input from neighbors. But the hyperlocalized process that prioritizes NIMBY voices has proven a huge impediment for creating more housing. #morehousingnow#reducesprawl#preventdisplacement

Yesterday was a tough day -- a car hit @cherryboulder while she was walking our dog. Thank goodness, she's not seriously injured (and the car missed our dog), but we were in the ER for 7 hours and she's all bruised and banged up.
