Arbitrary Lines: How Zoning Broke the American City and How to Fix It a.co/d/aPlq04R

Coming soon to the OC! 8 units on a single family / R1 lot using SB-1123. This project also includes a remainder lot that allowed us to stay under the 10 unit threshold. Remainder lot will contain one additional unit. Ministerial approval. 60 day shot clock. Let’s goooo!


SB 79 does not apply to Big Thunder Mountain Railroad at Disneyland. Please stop wasting my time with such foolish inquiries.

Reason publishes some of the best reporting on land-use reform out there today. Last Week Tonight getting fussy over outlets blurring the line between news and opinion is pretty rich.
I have much to say about @LastWeekTonight lumping us in with Natl Review & The Federalist & Pod Save & Jacobin as an "opinion-heavy outlet." We are a news outlet that (regardless of our perspective) provides fact-based reporting. Putting us on this list is factually inaccurate.

Laws change, housing gets built.

SB 79 will not apply on the Tijuana side of the California-Mexico border. Please stop DMing me about this.

Had a great chat about my research into US building codes and the perverse incentives that shape them with @ShaneDPhillips and @elpaavo as part of their UCLA Housing Voice podcast. Hope you listen and enjoy! lewis.ucla.edu/2025/10/08/99-…
If your TV's usefulness depended on the local government annually providing roads, water, sewer, parks, education, sidewalks, police, and fire coverage to the TV, you would absolutely pay a tax to keep the TV serviced every year

What wins out for maximizing cultural productivity? Agglomeration economies, or the freedom afforded by a low cost of living?
I think the answer here is that tiny literary magazines with a limited budget should probably be based somewhere like Philly or Baltimore or Chicago where housing costs less and there are still lots of cool, smart people. x.com/kait_tiffany/s…
When things seemed bleak this legislative session, I often thought to myself, "Well, at least we'll provide cover for @StudentHOMESCo to sneakily pass some great bills."
Quite a list ⤵️! A bill that wasn't even on my radar has upzoned ***sites w/in 1/2 mile of a UC, CSU or community-college campus*** for apartment buildings 65' tall! "SB 79 lite" is coming to Davis after all. The bill is AB 893. 🧵/8

My most Hispanic quality is that I love Chinese buffets

Don't miss out on the San Diego celebration of SB 79 tomorrow, 6-8 pm at Coronado Brewing off Morena!

I've said it before and I'll say it again, it's probably impossible to overstate the broader cultural impact of governance failures and housing costs sending hundreds of thousands of Americans from California/Illinois/New York to Texas/Tennessee/Florida.
Grown men who were born in Chicago and work office jobs are wearing cowboy boots And listening to Zachary Bryan Complete cultural victory
What about the California experience would lead Floridians to believe that scrapping efficient property taxes—inevitably leading to increases in inefficient income and capital gains taxes—is a good idea?
