This bill is do-or-die for California. Check to see if your state senator is one of the outstanding votes and urge them to do the right thing for the future of California and the country.
If you're one of Wahab's constituents, call her office and tell her what an embarrassing dipshit she is.

LA buds, roughly speaking if you live east of Fairfax and north of the 10, you live in Sen. Durazo's district. Give her office a call at (916) 651-4026 and urge her to support SB 79. It will take 3 minutes and it's the most important thing you can do politically today.
Senator Durazo parrots the equity arguments, concerned that the bill will allow for the creation of market rate housing *at the expense of* affordable housing.
Author's note: to be clear, it will not do this

Many state and local policy issues have become national ideological fights over the past decade. My paper suggests that interest groups affiliated with those policy issues could send strong partisan and ideological cues about local candidates when they endorse — and that voters respond accordingly.

In real world incumbent re-election campaigns in cities of 180k+, police union endorsements go from having positive value in all cities during 2012-2015 to having negative effects in liberal cities during the heightened police polarization period of 2016-2022.

These results are significant in non-partisan and same-party elections in my conjoint experiment, showing there is both a partisan and ideological cue contained in police union endorsements.

very negatively and conservatives positively, and (2) this polarization occurs in tandem with increased ideological polarization toward police at the national level. None of these trends emerge for firefighters’ union-endorsed candidates in either study.
