PRIVATE GOLF COURSES using their 'environmental benefit' status to shield them from taxes is NONSENSE -- this is so evil.

It's only called FiveThirtyEight if it's from a swing state region of the US. Otherwise, it's just sparkling election analysis.

PROPOSITION 15: With 100% of precincts reporting, voters narrowly rejected a measure that would have allowed the state to tax commercial properties at their fair market value with 51.7% voting against it cbsloc.al/32s1n1J

tl;dr on California and rent control. CA is one of the most liberal states in the country and CA voters support rent control in the abstract.

But rent control campaigns have allowed opponents to sow doubts about the idea — some good faith, some bad. latimes.com/homeless-housi…

Wow, lots of YIMBY victories but just checking the returns from San Diego and ...

Y'all, California now has a clear leader for most pro-housing city in the state. YIMBY Democrats of San Diego County are CRUSHING it.

California has never seen such a precipitous decline in population growth as what has happened since 2017.

This election you will get tons of mailers, all which say 'I support Affordable Housing!!!!' Supporting affordable housing means absolutely nothing. The real question is if they support any of the policies or land use reforms that will actually get the damn housing built.

”Why improve transit when you can just force 60% of office workers to work from home forever?”

✅ Mean more homes in wildfire zones

✅ Be inequitable b/c low wage workers can’t work from home

✅ Lead to transit disinvest
