What a tremendous day for housing in California. #SB79 goes to Gov’s desk to sign, and Court of Appeals hold in our Huntington Beach case that charter cities cannot use their status to delay or avoid adopting a compliant housing element.

Last year, Governor Gavin Newsom, and California Department of Housing and Community Development, and I sued the City of Norwalk over its unlawful housing ban.

Today, we are announcing a settlement that holds the City accountable.

NEW: The City of Norwalk is now reversing their cruel ban on new homeless shelters after California sued.

Local leaders are not exempt from helping to solve the homelessness crisis—and we'll keep fighting for accountability at every level.

"If you’re mad about what Mr. Musk’s initiative is doing to the institution of government, it’s time to go on the offense to reform it."

I wonder if Trump wants to revive Chevron deference given his carte blanche belief his return is akin to the divine right of kings. If so, curious how SCOTUS will walk back the major questions doctrine. Will find out soon enough, beginning with birthright citizenship. oag.ca.gov/news/press-r...

SB 330 preliminary applications shouldn't be returned just because a city doesn't want an older application to be revised to add affordability.
