  1. #California Gov #Newsom signs #ScottWiener bill to bulldoze over opposition to expansion of #housing density and residential construction projects along key rail transit corridors.

    New #Yimby law "Abundant & Affordable Homes Near Transit Act" (#SB79) creates less restrictive state #zoning codes, limits options for those seeking to stall plans, restrict density or halt new housing near transit stations.

    Opposition to legislation included exburb #NIMBY #realestate investors who fear #construction of potential seven story condo bldgs near rail transit corridors that would destroy perception of aesthetic quaintness of #suburbs like Burlingame, or Petaluma etc.

    Earlier this summer #GovNewsom signed similarly YIMBY-backed #legislation to exempt most urban apartment projects from #CEQA reviews, the state’s signature environmental protection law. “Go YIMBYs,” Newsom said when signing that bill into law.

    The state's "housing crisis" conditions in which distinct lack of rental unit availability, and #Prop13 tax measure after effects etc, have all spiked the price of basic housing options, and put vast swaths of not particularly exceptional suburbs amongst the nation's highest priced #realestate markets.

    “In California we talk a lot about where we don’t want to build #homes, but rarely do we talk about where we do—until now,” said law sponsoring state senator Wiener in a statement about his fourth in a decade long attempt to get similar laws passed. “SB 79 unwinds decades of overly restrictive policies that have driven housing costs to astronomical levels, forcing millions of people away from #jobs and #transit and into long commutes from the #suburbs or out of the state entirely. It has been a long road to tackling these decades-old problems, but today’s signing marks a new day for #AffordableHousing in California.”

    More. More more more. Laugh at the dumb fuck, giggle at the stupid racist old shit. It'll be funnier when the mayonnaise tyrant is locked up, but lol, what a goof.

  7. #YourTaxDollarsAtWork : #California state prison site in #KernCounty is being converted into the state’s largest #immigration #detention center under a new contract between #ICE and #PrivatePrison operator #CoreCivic. 2,560-bed facility expands ICE carceral capacity in immigrant heavy state by 36%.

    Since being shuttered by #GovNewsom as a state penal facility in 2024, remote #CaliforniaCity officials had bemoaned losing the jobs and $1 million per year in revenues from #sewage and water services.

  8. 🤦‍♂️ One step forward. Two steps back.

    #TheOrangeMenace practically GIFTED #GovNewsom a chance to rebuild his decimated popularity after #Newsom tried to NORMALIZE #Deplorable Far Right #MAGAts Charlie Kirk & Steve Bannon on his podcast, and he was doing an AMAZING job taking on #MangoMussolini's efforts to declare #MartialLaw in #LA and turn Cali into a #PolceState.

    ...and THEN he has to do something BONE-HEADED like this. #JFC.

  9. @realTuckFrumper
    #Newsom put his judgement in question when he legitimized the likes of Hard Right MAGAts like Steve Bannon & Charlie Kirk on his podcast.

    #OrangeHitler is turning into Newsom's best friend by giving him the opportunity to rebuild his image.

    Right now, #GovNewsom is the only outspoken #Democrat going directly after the #FascistInChief on a near-daily basis, but if other #Dems start following suit, it won't be enough.

    Where is #Harris? #Biden? #Obama? BOTH #Clinton's? 😒

  10. "#Trump said it would be 'great' to arrest Gov. Gavin Newsom."
    Come & try to arrest my Governor
    you orange shithead.
    It's will only start the next civil war!!
    Maybe it's time for a #CivilWar!

  11. #GovNewsom signs executive order protecting #LACounty #renters who take in people displaced by firestorm.

    #ExecutiveOrder does not cover other lease provisions, like ones pertaining to criminal activity in rental property.

    #Landlords who raise rents higher than 10% currently could face up to a year in county jail, fines up to $10,000.

  12. “Death reports obtained by the Guardian reveal more than 3,000 of the 11,500 people who died while unhoused in Los Angeles county between 2014 and 2023 were 60 and older, highlighting the vulnerability of older residents in one of the US’s most expensive regions.”

  13. #Lawyers Andrea Henson and longtime #Berkeley #homelessness advocate Osha Neumann both #arrested by #CHP while defending indigent clients as #GovNewsom sicced #Caltrans in to remove residents from an industrial #WestOakland property. After #SCOTUS case sided with removing #homeless from #PublicProperty in #Oregon, #California Gov issued an #ExecutiveOrder last month, telling CA cities & counties to “move urgently to address dangerous #encampments while supporting and assisting the individuals living in them."
