I am a black cyclist City Councilmember who believes that city streets should prioritize the mobility & safety of cyclists, pedestrians, & transit riders.

Traffic violence hits low income communities of color the hardest, so I don’t understand caping for cars.

The Social Housing Act #AB2053 is up today in the Senate Governance and Finance Committee.

Hearing starts at 9am, starting with #AB2011, an important bill for building housing on commercial corridors.

Tonight! Join your neighbors in support of maximum neighbors - https://t.co/dXLzi7Yecq

[Telegraph For People @telegraphforppl]

ALL HANDS ON DECK - Join tonight and fight for your future neighbors’ right to live in Berkeley. No more exclusion or gatekeeping—this city is for everyone, and dense housing at our subway stations should be a no-brainer.

For *years,* Berkeley NIMBYs have falsely cited the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) to block new homes.

IPCC done got fed up.

We did it! The Social Housing Act #AB2053 passed the full Assembly floor today 🥳

Why allowing student housing near campus is literally the most effective climate policy the City of Berkeley can pursue in 3 images.

[The New Yorker @NewYorker]

.@IChotiner speaks with the head of a group that sued U.C. Berkeley for violating the California Environmental Quality Act—a law meant to protect the environment that has increasingly been used to stop new housing from being built in California. https://t.co/8cwywchVfg

This is my “Build More Housing” face

[Buffy Wicks @BuffyWicks]

Thousands of hardworking students shouldn’t have to pay the price and be denied their spot at @UCBerkeley because of misguided NIMBYism.

Proud that the Assembly just voted unanimously to right this wrong, and to allow Cal to reinstate their enrollment plans this fall. #SB118

[San Francisco Chronicle @sfchronicle]

Today, just 22% of roughly 40,000 students live in UC Berkeley-owned housing. The result is a student/housing imbalance that is felt by anyone looking for a place to live well beyond the borders of the campus.

Any UC Berkeley students with housing crisis stories to share?

[ASUC AAVP @ASUCAAVP]

The ASUC stands behind all Berkeley students, both current and incoming. This Supreme Court ruling only strengthens our resolve to fight for a campus that is open and affordable for all.

[Rigel Robinson @RigelRobinson]

We fought. We lost. I am grateful to everyone who spoke up and played a part. It will be some time before we can truly comprehend fully the ripple effects of this decision. The precedent this sets is the beginning of a much bigger fight. It's a sad day for education. Stay tuned.

BREAKING: UC Berkeley must slash admissions by thousands after state Supreme Court sides with neighbors who sued. https://t.co/yB6gLmYwi5

We strongly endorse #SB886, a new bill from @Scott_Wiener.

We need #MoreStudentHousing at every UC, CSU, and community college across California.

This bill is a critical step toward making that happen!

[Senator Scott Wiener @Scott_Wiener]

🧵 Today we’re announcing major housing legislation to make it easier & faster for UC, CSU & community colleges to build student & faculty housing.

#SB886 allows this housing to be built without going through CEQA, which has been used to stop or delay it. https://t.co/IMN91o03kc
