New decision from CA Court of Appeal on the fee-shifting provisions of AB 1633 has big implications for NIMBYs' incentive to challenge housing approvals under CEQA & beyond.
This one belongs in a Law of Abundance casebook.

MAJOR NEWS: @GavinNewsom signed SB 79, my bill allowing more housing near public transit — rail, subway, rapid bus.
It’s a huge step for housing in California. It’ll create more homes, strengthen our transit systems & reduce traffic & carbon emissions.
Thank you, Governor!

Does U.S. Supreme Court's big new NEPA decision have implications for CEQA?
Yes!
The liberals' (!) concurring opinion strongly reinforces an argument that @TDuncheon & I made for judicially narrowing the scope of CEQA review of housing projects.

"We're withholding our endorsement because our owner is frightened of government retaliation if Donald Trump wins" is a more forceful and eloquent statement than any newspaper editorial ever written.

Prop 33 supporters are saying voters needn't worry about cities abusing rent control to kill off housing development b/c state law guarantees landlords a "just and reasonable" return on investment.
If only they were right! 🧵/21.

This project was fast-tracked under SB 35, which meant it could get permits in a matter of weeks instead of years.
Without YIMBY-backed state streamlining, it would still be a parking lot for a shuttered fast food restaurant.
Great new housing project 200 feet from my apartment!
Shame that it isn’t taller and that it doesn’t also have market rate units to do more to address our supply shortage.

Calling the filibuster the “holy grail” of democracy is such an embarrassing thing to say
New — Joe Manchin, a staunch defender of the filibuster, tells us he WON’T endorse Kamala Harris now over her vow to gut the filibuster to codify Roe.
“Shame on her," Manchin, who is retiring at year's end, said in the Capitol. "She knows the filibuster is the Holy Grail of democracy. It's the only thing that keeps us talking and working together. If she gets rid of that, then this would be the House on steroids."
Now that Harris has vowed to gut the filibuster on this issue, Manchin said he wouldn't back her for president.
"That ain't going to happen," he said. "I think that basically can destroy our country and my country is more important to me than any one person or any one person's ideology...I think it's the most horrible thing."

Lots of folks experienced this tweet (⤵️) as a gibe. I did not mean to offend, or to contribute to the further sewerification of Twitter.
So let me explain my concerns. 🧵.

Overturning Roe v Wade killed this woman. There's no other way to put it. These are the stakes in this election. propublica.org/article/georg…

If there are going to be climate-justified subsidies for owning electric cars, there should be subsidies for not owning cars at all.
