Here I come, you West Coast YIMBY losers!

Our Executive Director Laura Foote's op-ed was featured in @richmond.com on why one provision in the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act could detract from an otherwise HUGE pro-housing bill.
Banning build-to-rent homes won’t lower costs, it limits options and reduces the supply of homes available.
The U.S. is short nearly 4 million homes 🏠
When we say no to more housing, prices go up, neighbors get pushed out, and homelessness rises.
The YIMBY movement is about saying yes—to more homes and more inclusive, affordable communities.

Spencer Pratt has spoken again. In his latest Substack he says, "I actually agree we need to build more housing."
Two lines later, he adds: "It’s actually a myth to say we have a supply problem in Los Angeles."
Great stuff.
Are Housing Elements valid without environmental review? We’re about to find out.
We sued Sausalito for skipping an EIR. They completed one during the case — but the court avoided ruling on whether it’s required.
Now we’re appealing for an answer.
