If Martin Luther King Jr was alive today, he would be a YIMBY. This is a great article from his son about how there needs to be zoning reform and significantly more building to make communities more inclusive and diverse.

Another LA Metro Vermont critique:
Environmental contract awarded this month is $55m, will use new state law to be CEQA EIR exempt.
Cancelled proposed contract (with full CEQA EIR) in 2021 was $33m. Delaying for more community engagement led to $22m increase in contractor costs.

@nickSTREETZ Which is closer to CD 14, Glendale, South Pasadena, or the valley???

[Josh @SoPasDad]

@chemdawgrei @CaliCre8ive Sorry. I have a life. Most of the times I have better things to do than argue with lead paint Left NIMBYs.

[Josh @SoPasDad]

@CaliCre8ive @verysmallracoon @Edokwin @dsa_losangeles And no policies cross the boarder from Los Angeles to South Pasadena…

[Josh @SoPasDad]

@CaliCre8ive @EricMcC6 You mean how Andrew pointed out that if you don’t build housing people won’t be able to moved out of their parents home?? He is absolutely right and it’s only morons who think otherwise.

[Josh @SoPasDad]

@sopastenants I was dying about that one.

[Josh @SoPasDad]

@chemdawgrei @CaliCre8ive Man, you Valley people are still going??? You know most people don’t even consider the valley part of Los Angeles.

[Senator Scott Wiener @Scott_Wiener]

Why state action/oversight of SF on housing?

Board of Supervisors agreed to these housing reforms as part of its state housing plan. It’s now balking at actually adopting them.

+ SF has the longest permit process & most anemic housing production

Enough. https://t.co/PEtyRWEWBo

@StreetsblogLA @ActiveSGV The city is getting rid of the slow streets in another month because some people who have power in @SouthPasadenaCA complained.

[Josh @SoPasDad]

South Pasadena installed slow streets on some of their main streets and it got overwhelming support. In response, @SouthPasadenaCA decided that instead of keeping them in for 6 months and evaluating the response they are now tearing it out at 3 months.

@CaliCre8ive @Odettescuck Says a white girl from the Valley who doesn’t even know what Ysabels community is.

[Josh @SoPasDad]

@Edokwin @dsa_losangeles The funny thing about this case, she is a white woman who lives 15 miles away. I live 1 mile away, my kids are Hispanic, and my wife grew up in highland park where her parents still live now.

[Josh @SoPasDad]

@CaliCre8ive @chemdawgrei And Hugo. And they both proceeded to make housing harder to be built. Luckily, the state is about to overrule them.

@CaliCre8ive @elmaoist

[Josh @SoPasDad]

@Edokwin It’s like how @dsa_losangeles is one of the whitest groups in Los Angeles but claim to represent POCs.

[Josh @SoPasDad]

@chemdawgrei @CaliCre8ive Shiiiiittttttt…….. the only people who really hate us are the downwardly mobile gentrifiers. If you haven’t noticed, we have been passing all the laws we want lately. And just wait. We will have tons more housing built soon.

[Josh @SoPasDad]

@chemdawgrei You also live in the Valley. It’s funny how you guys who live so far away from CD 14 and are telling other people what they can and can’t do.

[Josh @SoPasDad]

@CaliCre8ive I will happily tell right and left NIMBYs that we need more housing. And I will also mock dumb white people who doesn’t understand that the way to lower rents is to increase the supply of housing.

[Josh @SoPasDad]

@CaliCre8ive Where did I scream at a POC from Boyle Heights??? I totally did point out that a white person who lives 15 miles away is trying to claim other people cannot have opinions on CD 14.
