Sacramento thinks a bus stop should decide where high-rises go.

Not your city's zoning. Not your infrastructure. Not the size of your fire department. A transit station.

That's SB 79. If there's a trolley or bus line nearby, the state can force high-rise housing into your neighborhood. No parking required, because Sacramento assumes everyone will just ride the bus.

Cities across California are saying wait a minute. You don't know our streets. You don't know our water and sewer capacity. You don't know what our first responders can handle.

And Sacramento's answer is: it doesn't matter. We're doing it anyway.

Happy 250th birthday, America! 🇺🇸

Two and a half centuries of freedom. Of families building better lives. Of ordinary people doing extraordinary things because nobody told them they couldn’t.

You see it right here in El Cajon every single day. Small business owners opening their doors. Neighbors looking out for neighbors. Kids waving flags at the parade just like their grandparents did.

That’s what we’re celebrating today. Not just a date on the calendar, but the greatest experiment in human freedom the world has ever known.

Have a safe and happy Fourth, El Cajon. God bless you, and God bless the United States of America.

"Bill Wells, the mayor of San Diego County's City of El Cajon, and other critics pointed out that America's founding appeared to be sidelined in tentative plans for the upcoming countywide Fourth of July event held along a San Diego-area waterfront."

@jerrybrookre3 I just wanna set the record straight. I’m opposing this not promoting this.

Below is the County of San Diego’s Fourth of July celebration.

I have an alternative plan:

1.Acknowledge America and its greatness.
2.Celebrate with fireworks and the American National Anthem.

@MoneyPenny91 @grok Oh it’s real

[Bill Wells @MayorBillWells]

For everyone asking if the County of San Diego really turned the Fourth of July into this, here are the meeting minutes where it was decided.

February 10, 2026. Supervisors Desmond and Anderson brought forward a 250th celebration for the whole region.

The three Democrats rewrote it, tied it to the county's "equity, inclusion, and racial justice goals," and handed planning to the Office of Equity and Racial Justice.
