LA Mayor Karen Bass is requesting a veto on transit-oriented development bill SB 79, which is headed to Gavin Newsom's desk: "While SB 79 allows for local ordinances as an alternative compliance, it does not provide a viable path for a pro-housing city like Los Angeles"

Just utterly disappointing from the Mayor of Los Angeles

It's do or die for SB 79, the bill that would legalize multifamily housing around rail and BRT stops across the state. The vote could be held as early as tomorrow morning.

Californians: call your state senator tomorrow morning to help us get out of the senate!

🚨 CALL YOUR REPS 🚨

SB79, a key bill to allow more housing by urban train stations, is up for a vote in the state senate.

This is the single biggest action you can take to help end California's housing crisis this year, and it only takes 30 seconds.

Here's how to do it ⬇️

OK, they're calling it a postponement (with no word on when the meetings may get rescheduled), and offer zero explanation for the 11th hour change, which seems to have come as a shock to pretty much the whole metro board and a ton of other people involved with the project. My money is still on-

I am hearing some, uh, VERY concerning things about the sepulveda line... trying to get more confirmation but it seems there's a chance Metro (presumably Stephanie Wiggins) is trying to wholly spike the project without releasing the EIR
