Lots of excitement over SB 79—understandably. I would add, every single bill California YIMBY sent to the governor was signed today. gov.ca.gov/2025/10/10/gov…

AB 253 will empower applicants to hire third-party permit reviewers when cities drag their feet on small-scale residential projects, which will help to clear out the log jam in permitting offices. cayimby.org/legislation/ab…

AB 1308 established 14-day inspection shot clock for those same sorts of small-scale residential projects—a major source of needless delays. Blowing passed it will be an HAA violation. cayimby.org/legislation/ab…

In addition to these bills, it looks like the governor signed all of the Fast Track Housing Package bills that made it to his desk. This is a package of individually small bills that fix a lot of problems with building housing in California. cayimby.org/fast-track-hou…

It takes a community to pass a bill, but I would like to highlight my amazing team, without whom this would not be possible. Jordan Panana Carbajal was the legislative lead on all of our assembly bills and our senate bills other than SB 79. He's a bill passing machine!

Aaron Eckhouse was the policy lead on SB 79. (And before that, the CEQA infill exemption.) He burned a lot of midnight oil on both. He's a walking encyclopedia of California housing policy and will now lead on implementation. Overwhelming respect for him.

Ed Mendoza, another microblogging celebrity, was lead on our post-entitlement bills. (He also worked on a lot of building code stuff that happened behind the scenes.) No film photos of him, tragically, so here's a photo I took at one of our team retreats.

California YIMBY works with a few lobbyists, but this year I worked most closely with the amazing Sosan Madanat of W Strategies, who was also a lead on SB 79. She and I also worked together on SB 684-1123. A lobbying rockstar!

Jesus what was the deal here? Just trying to remind YIMBYs not to take him for granted? Trying to make the NIMBYS feel heard? Maybe he actually briefly fell for the bad faith lies about it interfering with fire rebuild, hence the paragraph countering those?

For the ecstatic folks in this thread, did you grew up in a house or shitty cramped apartment building? It may be hard for some of you privileged people to understand, but living your entire life in an apartment is NOT want most US working class folks want if they can help it.
