When the CBP or ICE agent that Stephen Miller is trying to get killed dies, it is extremely important that every member of the media be told, repeatedly and loudly, that they wanted this and that people called it out in advance.

All the focus is on abolish ICE but CBP seems honestly the worse of the two. Bovino, todayโ€™s shooting, and Ross was former CBP.

No thatโ€™s not it tbh I donโ€™t even know if officially was a CAYIMBY; I could also be misremembering because I caught by accident while searching for something else, thought it was cool saw it immediately died and moved on

Sacramento is blessed to have such pro-housing leadership in the Legislature! Five out of six members of the Sacramento area voted for SB 79

Now the official Senate roll call vote is up, and surprisingly, between the Senate first passing out SB 79 in June and concurring in Assembly amendments Friday Sept. 12th, a full 12 senators changed their position! Let's dig in.

I've really been thinking about SB 79. This is a culmination of a years-long online project for me. We'll see if it works. I've been studying the maps. First of all: the places with the greatest redevelopment potential have the HIGHEST land value, au contraire Assemblymember Zbur. This is obvious.

Maybe wonโ€™t take effect in the municipality until the next RHNA cycle? Still thatโ€™s only until 2029 I think for SoCal

A screenshot from Wikipedia that reads: Candidates Declared

    Damon Connolly (Democratic), state assemblymember from the 12th district (2022โ€“present)
    James Gore (Democratic), Sonoma County supervisor (2015โ€“present)
    Natalie Rogers (Democratic), Santa Rosa city councilor (2020โ€“present)

Who is running for California State Senate district 2? Other than Damon Connolly โ€“ who voted NO on #SB79 despite Marin and Sonoma getting carve outs.

Lots of time between now and the primary, but I'm leaning toward Natalie Rogers: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_Ca...

Very grateful for the support for SB 79 from Sacramento legislators Senator @angeliqueashby.bsky.social & Assemblywoman Maggy Krell. There is a strong coalition of pro-housing folks in Sacramento who will not forget your aye votes for this bill. Thank you!

SB79 and VTA doing TSP would really increase ridership from 12-15k per weekday average to a better level

A major YIMBY win out of California with the passage of SB79!

This should be a model for states all over the USA to help address our housing shortages without creating more unsustainable forced car dependence sprawl.

Way to go @scottwiener.bsky.social

Left wing YIMBY need to start controlling the online narrative better. The majority of the no votes for SB79 came from Orange County and north county San Diego (traditionally Republican areas), yet the prevailing narrative is that the problem is Left-NIMBY.

I actually think Sacramento may be the biggest winner from SB79. It's got a large proportion of land gets upzoned by it.

SB 63 is headed to the Governor's desk. It is a historic opportunity to allow voters in 5 counties of the Bay Area to consider a sales tax measure in Nov 2026 to preserve and improve transit. BART, and the entire transit network that keeps the Bay Area moving, stand to benefit from this bill.

Bay Area transit news: SB 63, a bill to authorize a regional funding measure to fund transit in the Bay Area, passed the state legislature and is headed to Gov. Newsom's desk for his signature. Newsom has until Oct. 12 to either sign or veto the bill.

Statements from SFMTA and BART below.

Last night, the Legislature passed & sent to the Governor our bill to authorize a 2026 Bay Area regional revenue measure to fund our public transportation systems, SB 63.

We need these systems to be strong. Letโ€™s get it done!
