Update the building codes, California!

Family-sized apartment units like those found in Krøyers Plads, Copenhagen, are illegal to build in all of North America due to our outdated building codes. If you want a large home in America, you are forced to live in car-dependent suburbia. It doesn't have to be this way.

A Republican from Montana had the best answer I have heard to answer the “What about the neighborhood character!?!?” question.

Why are ethics questions always like: "is it ethical to steal bread to feed your starving family?" And not: "is it ethical to hoard bread when families are starving?"

A majority of Bay Area cities lose their zoning tomorrow. Yep. State politicians are holding local governments accountable: Cities that failed to master plan for allotted housing lose ability to enforce exclusionary zoning. This, the cost of inaction. darrellowens.substack.com/p/ca-cities-to…

This is it! HCD will review Bay Area cities to see if they've zoned for new housing in wealthy areas. If a city fails, their zoning will be suspended and unlimited height & density at >20% affordable housing can be approved anywhere. Many are about to fail darrellowens.substack.com/p/ca-cities-to…

Members of Congress get full security clearance. Do you think a fraud like George Santos can be trusted with security clearance?

Dear Corporate Dems: notice the far right GOP presidential hopefuls voted for sick days. They voted for workers. Seen any polling lately? They have. Standing with workers over corporations is extremely popular. Maybe rethink your neoliberalism?

BREAKING: Senate rejects legislation guaranteeing 7 days of paid sick leave as part of the rail labor agreement. Vote was 52-43, needed 60 to pass. All Democrats voted yes except Manchin. All Republicans voted no except 6 (Braun, Cruz, Graham, Hawley, Kennedy, Rubio).

The system as it exists is not capable of effectively combatting the pandemic. The issue is not simply vaccine hesitancy, it’s that the ethos & structures of capitalism are incapable of mounting an effective response. The entire system is outdated.
