I wish this thread by @alfredtwu had existed when was writing the .

Their plan is total Corridor Zoning along 19th Ave: the highest density directly on a car sewer with narrow sidewalks. While I'm glad to see density on the westside at all, this kind of stroad-adjacent housing isn't nice to live in and gives dense housing a bad name. Second Street Housing would be much better.

The draft of the that I’ve been working on for the past few months is now out for public review. It’s already getting some positive comments from one of the city’s most vocal critics.

It’s been a journey to get the city’s staff, decision makers, and community on board with what was needed to ensure enough gets built in South Pasadena, but we did it. I’m incredibly proud of this work, and can’t wait to see it certified by . twitter.com/jalbymd/status/163

Recently @londonbreed launched the plan to help make SF’s recently adopted a reality. The more homes we build here, the more people can live a walkable, low carbon lifestyle.

Let’s thank the mayor for this leadership!

Ben Christopher of CalMatters reports that housing politics around the state are so complicated that most cities in the Bay Area and the rest of CA missed the Wednesday Housing Element deadline– but not the City of Alameda, which was the first to be approved.

City governments around the are doing horribly on the Jan 31st housing element approval deadline.

The "builders remedy" sucks for local communities, but <welp> they had their opportunity to come up with housing plans and just didn't. Complete failure of political will at the local level.

It's about to get real (I mean, after many lawsuits, for sure).
