The San Francisco Examiner published my op-ed in support of housing and the Marina Safeway project!

A response to another piece declaring YIMBYism a "moral myth." I work for a friggin Center for Ethics in Society, so naturally wasn't gonna sit this one out...

Trump is within sight of an under 30% overall approval rating.

One of the most important causes right now is to establish a media narrative and popular support behind severe punishments and consequences to our present criminals running things.

ok actual lol

this is so profoundly dishonorable

This is already demonstrably incorrect. And Wright isn't even dead yet.

If they wanted to get away with something like this they should have painted the statute brown and raped it.

Yep! It's pretty much an iron law of media consolidation that once massive debts have been incurred, the same $ spent servicing that debt are not available to invest in, you know, new films and tv series, music, journalism, etc.

Safeway is partnering with a homebuilder to build nearly 4,000 homes on underused parking lots across five Bay Area sites — a direct result of state housing law, AB 2011.

The Boyle Heights Community Plan update, which LA started working on in 2006 (!) and "adopted" in 2024, but which still hasn't gone into effect, is likely now going to be modified because state density bonus law has outpaced the local bonuses offered in the plan

This is, without question, a Los Angeles Urban Planning Moment™
