Still wallowing in the failure of California's legislature to do anything significant about climate change, transportation or housing in voting against #SB50. Going to take a Twitter break for a while and focus on other things I can move the needle on, like 🅿️. 👋

The core cause of this crisis IS local municipalities. You've betrayed my entire generation of young Californians, in the interest of keeping your communities exclusive and expensive.

You’re totally missing the forest for the trees, at the expense of millions of Californians or would-be Californians. 😥

Current rules displace POC and all kinds of people, constantly! SB50 would reduce that by rezoning for more housing near transit and setting statewide minimums on BMRs. It’s a huge improvement, and I’m really disappointed you support status quo displacement over it.

And the bill leaves the door open for local municipalities to make decisions like that! In some places, doing off site could make sense and get a lot more units built. Seems like a good reason to support the bill since it raises BMR from 0 to 15-25%.

It supports on-site or off-site. I'm really not following your logic. You're saying you'd rather have wealthy tech workers boot long-time residents from their homes, as they eventually rent/buy older housing stock? And that's better than new buildings which have affordable units?

As a Bay Area native and life-long resident, I've watched hundreds of friends, family and colleagues get priced out. Local cities are incentivized to protect home values and exclude newcomers — how and when will the state finally step in and do SOMETHING?

It DOES do that! It raises the threshold on including affordable housing to 15-25% on small-to-medium projects, up from a statewide minimum of ZERO today. Cities can also set larger minimums for even larger projects, as SF has done in the East Cut. How is this making it worse?

Hah, when I was looking for the line at pdx the young couple in front of me were LIVID that they didn’t have a driver assigned to them and they had to stand in line. It’s so much more efficient though.

Also, people who move to new buildings in East Cut (like I just did) are going to live in the Bay Area regardless. Would you prefer they bid up older housing stock? My old landlord actually had to LOWER the price of my former 60s dingbat apt in Menlo Park to find a tenant.

I remain a firm believer that taking ridesharing from something 1% drivers do to 25% could absolutely transform mobility — but it clashes with AB5 mindset. For the moment, if you commute a popular route and have the patience, you can make a lot of money during your commute. pic.twitter.com/zkecc9K6xr

It can also be a waste of time — last night my one pickup got in the wrong Lyft. @lyft went so far as to actually launch a totally separate, cheaper app called Carpool (forbes.com/sites/briansol…), though it failed — I think partially because normal Lyft drivers weren’t allowed.

Both apps most definitely let you input your own destination and give rides in that direction en route. It’s the only way I’ve used the apps for 3-4 years now, though @uber frequently blocks usage leaving sf. It’s super useful, and can be very lucrative if you’re not in a rush.

I’m constantly confused why this isn’t pointed out in every single discussion. Want to build a 10,000 sq ft mansion? Great! Have fun and do whatever. Want to build 10x 1,000 sq ft units and share your lot? WHOA WHOA WHOA you gotta cough up some coin/subsidize units. twitter.com/IDoTheThinking…

Can’t wait for him to continue he claims about climate change and housing affordability, while his actions speak otherwise. My generation of Palo Alto grads are incredibly let down, though most of us had to migrate elsewhere thanks to housing prices.

So why not move the bill forward, and push on your colleagues in the assembly to push back on those exemptions, and then force compromise in conference? The status quo — what happens if this goes down — is FAR worse for the climate.

But that’s the same line of logic that lead to the current policy we have for HC placards' relationship to parking. People thought it would make it easier for those with limited mobility to park. As you’ll see in that 2013, even advocates agree it’s actually made it harder.

And I want Market Street to MORE accessible to everyone. Banning private autos does exactly that! It makes it easier for fixed transit (100% of which must be ADA compliant) & creates safer loading/unloading for paratransit, and the larger project will make sidewalks much safer!

I don’t assume there is fraud — there IS widespread fraud (see previous report). There’s fraud because there’s a huge incentive to get a placard because it gets you free street parking, and the placard process isn’t great or sophisticated (so it’s easy to get).

For sure. San Francisco put together a commission on exactly this topic, and here’s their report from 2013 (which includes % of street spots taken by placard holders): dropbox.com/s/q46acrr8g2oe…. Here’s a story on the 1-in-8 stat: abc10.com/article/news/l…
