Amazing news from our friends in California! 🥳

Senator Scott Wiener @scottwiener.bsky.social · 3d

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!

This is Berwyn, my red line station ❤️
Imagine instead of this city block wide jewel parking lot, we instead see more storefronts with entrances facing the sidewalk and housing built on top

we can & should build better than this block long Burlington parking lot on Broadway next to the CTA red line. We want more of what makes city living great: more small biz entrepreneurs, more CTA riders, and more housing opportunities for all people no matter your race or class.

Me. Grey hair. Wearing sunglasses on a sunny day. Standing in the massive Burlington parking lot on Broadway right next to the Berwyn redline station . Empty storefronts in the background

there are two steps left in the Broadway corridor upzoning (zoning cmte. + city council)

Passing both steps isn’t guaranteed so showing up in SUPPORT on Tuesday is needed to counter those who prefer the status quo
