Last year, we put out a piece making it clear that immigration is NOT why housing is so expensive. We were responding to messages from VP Vance as he scapegoated immigrants while ignoring the importance of reducing barriers to increased homebuilding.

🚨HUGE HOUSING NEWS🚨
@cagovernornewsom.bsky.social has signed SB 79 into law! 🥳
SB 79 means that big cities who don't plan for apartments, condos, and other multi-family homes near transit will have some of their land upzoned by the State.
This is a huge deal, BUT our work isn't done 👀
