It does not read as a joke and I said nothing about your “authority”, whatever the hell that’s supposed to mean

The way our laws are structured, the executive branch has enormous discretion to block most energy projects, but it cannot just jam through a permit for any project without getting buried in litigation. It is distressing that a major voice in climate doesn’t know something so basic

Dr. Genevieve Guenther (she/they) @doctorvive.bsky.social · 6d

Now that we know the Executive can just permit some energy projects & refuse to permit others, if a Dem ever gets back in the White House, we should stop negotiating w oil and gas Republicans for "permitting reform" and just stop permitting fossil fuels while permitting the fuck out of clean energy.

jael holzman @jael.bsky.social · 6d

this is such a wild and weird takeaway from this situation

permitting reform will not save renewable energy if a government simply doesn’t want to issue permits

unless you’re trying to literally require permits in all cases or just end all permits ever

I really enjoyed talking to Tom Steyer abut the climate movement and abundance!

I called the governor to ask him to sign SB 79. It was easy and it only took a few minutes.

"But if you think you're gonna do huge things without any negative side effects, then you're in California.

You don't get anything done. We need to get things done. We need to build. I mean, you do it in a fair way, but we can't take 10 years to get an apartment" - @tomsteyer1.bsky.social

That’s nonsense. Did you actually read the book?

False

There’s no “abundance” stance on school vouchers either way

The most Abundance Governor in the county is undeniably Josh Shapiro, who’s most famous abundance accomplishment is a super fast road rebuild using union labor

David Dayen @ddayen.bsky.social · May 19

Also Brock Hrehor on how Jared Polis absolutely sucks. For all the insistence from the Abundance set that they are really truly pro-labor liberals, I don't think it's a coincidence that the politicians who support their ideas the most do stuff like this:

The Democrats’ One and Only Union-Busting Governor

Colorado’s Democratic legislature voted to repeal the state’s de facto right-to-work law. On Friday, Gov. Jared Polis vetoed it.

Jane is a hero and I’m very frustrated she was removed from the Airport Commission for basically no reason

I spoke with BAR about not being reappointed to Airport. Whatever’s next, I appreciate the kind words of many leaders I respect in our community! In the meantime, I’ll keep busy I’m sure www.ebar.com/story/158675...

the jeffersonian tilt of anti-trust is one reason, imho, some of its loudest advocates occasionally fall into a reactionary producerism, whereby the small business owner is always Good and anyone who seeks to limit their autonomy is Bad www.theargumentmag.com/p/the-proble...

I have been involved with this stuff for a long time and the left wing statewide groups like the Western Center and ACCE have consistently opposed YIMBY upzoning efforts from the start, despite YIMBY groups supporting several rent control measures

I think it’s pretty telling that the people who hate speed cameras also often want more police enforcement of traffic violations—because they trust that cops aren’t going to go after *them*

Next door in Silicon Valley @nextdoorsv.bsky.social · 21d

People on NextDoor frequently think that the reason cities keep recklessly adding speed bumps is because we've defunded the police. All time I see requests for more traffic enforcement.

Reality: Police and Fire take up 50% of most city budgets. In Redwood City, it is already 57%!

Also the whole framing of cities as less affluent in suburbs is kind of outdated, NYC and SF are much more expensive than their nearby suburbs

Armand Domalewski @armanddomalewski.bsky.social · 21d

It is very much not a minor part of the discourse, and in practice what you see is that left wing groups *oppose* upzoning of suburbs! When CA YIMBY passed SB-9 all of the “equity” groups in Sacramento fought it

2 1

Armand Domalewski @armanddomalewski.bsky.social · 22d

I mean these are mostly single family neighborhoods within the legal boundaries of SF, yes. But CA YIMBY has also passed (and tried to pass) a lot of bills to upzone suburbs
