We made a list and checked it twice to help you find out who's naughty or nice on housing. Find out if your city earned itself a Happy Holidays or coal. Remember, Santa likes having more homes to deliver presents to. yimbyaction.org/blog/naughty...

Happy Wednesday, folks! I’m spending my evening at a meeting of California NIMBY group Our Neighborhood Voices.

The topic? How to stop state housing bill SB79, which was signed into law, from actually being implemented!

The big draw is the special guest: the LA City Attorney's office. Yikes! 🧵
