Action Item for This Week: The largest newspapers in Southern California support SB 50.
“SB 50 is pretty much the only serious proposal on the table that deals with the root causes of the state’s housing shortage, including the decades-long failure to construct enough homes to keep up with population growth and the zoning restrictions that dramatically limit the number of homes that can be built.” – The Los Angeles Times
“To allay concerns about gentrification, communities with high poverty rates would get up to five years to prepare their housing plans before the regulations kicked in, and low-income neighbors can get first dibs on moving into new units built under Senate Bill 50. By the rules, the bill must pass the Senate this month or die.” – The San Diego Union-Tribune
We agree! Let’s tell our elected officials that the time is now to pass SB 50!
After you submit a letter to your elected officials, RSVP for this Sunday’s SB 50 Support Party in DTLA. We’ll get together to discuss the bill and what we can do to help support it. Meet other pro-housing supporters as we work together to make signs and write letters in support of the bill.

Latest News
AB725 passed out of committee and is moving forward in the CA Assembly. This bill would require cities to plan for more small-scale multifamily buildings — duplexes, triplexes, quads — to create more “missing middle” housing for our working class.
Ben Metcalf argues that California’s housing department has unrealized authority.
