Shoutout Harut Nazarian #sb79

Can anyone explain the #sb79 situation in LA? Option 2 is on the agenda but not the others?

California's blockbuster housing legislation faces rocky rollout State Sen. Scott Wiener, the author of Senate Bill 79, has not ruled out postponing the July 1 implementation date for the new law because of widespread confusion over what it requires.

California’s landmark housing legislation, Senate Bill 79, is set to reshape development near transit hubs, but its implementation is expected to face several challenges. buff.ly/7KwFwaI

The 2nd panel (bottom) is a skeleton stuck to a chair underwater. The text overlays are: mother figure: “Metro Board”, Happy kid “Sepulveda transit corridor” kid in distress: “k line extension to Torrance. Skeleton: “SB79”.

BTW v Kalifornii velký experiment právě začal - byl schválen #SB79, který státním zákonem nařizuje minimální limity v dosahu za řeč stojící hromadné dopravy, což už znamená právě ten velkoplošný upzoning, o němž mluví často @pbednar.bsky.social coby nutné podmínce, aby to zafungovalo.

#SB79
The financial reprieves from permitted upzoning through Los Angeles’ Transit-Oriented Communities Incentive Program have attracted developers looking to get shovels in the dirt faster. The program has “supercharged housing production” across the city

LA developers flock to transit-oriented development in search of tax incentives Tax incentives for transit-oriented development projects are attracting builders looking for the most financially feasible endeavors.

#SB79
Transit-oriented development is driving multifamily projects in Los Angeles. Developers are chasing density bonuses near rail stations in the hope that renters will flock to the new residences for walkability and transit convenience.

📰 SB 79 has a historical inequality blind spot

💬 Upzoning = stratification, not affordability. NIMBYs? Try those in mansions. Densification without livability? 🤔 🚩 #UrbanPlanning #SB79

This bill has been hailed a ‘landmark’ victory for California YIMBYs. But it only narrowly escaped defeat Sen. Scott Wiener’s bill survived more than a dozen amendments, two hostile committee chairs and a near-failure on the Senate floor, showcasing both his persistence and divisions among Democrats wh…

#SB79 "got 21 votes, just enough to pass — with Sen. Shannon Grove, a Republican from Bakersfield, casting the deciding vote after Southern California Democrat Laura Richardson last-minute flipped her vote from ‘aye’ to ‘no.'"

Legalizing apartments near transit is a bipartisan sport.

Awesome, brilliant use of land within a half mile of Hillsdale @caltrain.com #SB79 #SB63

This question is relevant to @cselmendorf.bsky.social‘s suggestion that California create an official statewide zoning map, presumably created and managed by state employees, that would define exactly how state land use laws ( #AB2097, #SB79, etc.) apply to each parcel in the state.

The Pout, Kings & 15-Minute Cities Episode 208, hosted by Kraig Delaney, recorded on October 21, 2025, which presents a strongly opinionated, conservative commentary on current events. I begin by criticizing a "No Kings Day" protest, arguing that the participants are misguided and confused about the nature of American democracy and the political process, specifically the selection of Kamala Harris as a presidential candidate. I also touche on the politically motivated murder of a Minnesota House Speaker, blaming media coverage for obscuring details, and criticizes California Governor Gavin Newsom’s signing of SB 79, framing it as the implementation of restrictive "15-minute cities" while juxtaposing it with the state's stringent enforcement of building codes. The episode concludes with non-political topics, including a rant about Walmart's self-checkout, a discussion of studies related to vaccine safety, a segment on the inspirational baseball career of Jim Abbott, and a look back at the 1987 rescue of "Baby Jessica." www.buymeacoffee.com/infosoapboW > Leave a voicemail: 812-610-9005 > Email the podcast:  info.soapboxchampion@gmail.com https://rumble.com/c/c-4346725 Music: https://www.bensound.com License code: QRSYBHJMDYFD3HGW

Not that she has a shot at this point, but I'm officially crossing
@bettyyeeforca.bsky.social off my list of candidates I'd consider for Governor of California.

Saying she wouldn't sign #SB79 is totally disqualifying.

Thanks to NIMBY group Catalysts for Local Control for getting the tea!

I spoke to @acbowen.bsky.social of KPBS radio in San Diego yesterday about the significance of #SB79, its major provisions, and its likely impact going forward:

SB79 is not going to do what everyone thinks. It won’t make housing more affordable, nor will it help slow climate change. This is about increasing property values for rich shareholders. #upzoning #housing #realestate #sb79

empty asphalt plot of land next to berryessa BART station.

first time taking BART all the way to end of the line berryessa since they expanded south of fremont.

look how much land is available to build housing! the #housingcrisis was entirely manufactured (ironic pun not intended)

all #bayarea cities need to do their part to allow and build housing. #sb79

It seems to me that #SB79 gives #Stanford a wonderful opportunity. The University’s aging mall and its vast parking lots could be transformed into something better.🧵

Guy doesn't think it's weird that Hanlon alone makes up a 1/3 of the $Million dollar payroll, because of course

That's who #Sb79 is for

SB79 is now law. But California still has work to do to fix the housing crisis and meet its climate goals OPINION: “This bet on housing near transit stations could not come at a worse time. Transit ridership is still below pre-pandemic highs — especially on the rail systems that SB79 focuses on.”
