being against SB79 should be an automatic disqualification

Again, how is that an argument in favor of local control and against something like SB79?

Glad to see the state coming after Oceanside for its obvious bad faith interpretation of SB79. We need more housing near transit in north county

Oceanside tried to get out of SB 79. State now says the city is skirting controversial new housing law.
A legal and regulatory fight continues to grow over how the San Diego region’s leaders are implementing new rules for what housing can be built near transit stops.

Burbank should be working with organizations like LA Metro, not against them, to ensure we keep local control and fit the character of the community while building much-needed housing.

Sorry, Sam, but you're wrong about Ben Allen. He was mediocre on housing in the CA legislature, abstaining from voting for SB79 (he was present for the vote). Overall, he's a mainstream right-leaning Democrat, and not a reliable supporter of Wiener's. Vote for Jane Kim for Insurance Commissioner.

That's what you got from my reply? I was making an unscientific observation that the young generations are even worse, in that they grew up under Reagan, so they don't know any better. They need to reduce gdp, not punish transit by mandating housing around it, for example (SB79).

Oh yeah, I HCD guidance saying Amtrak long distance stations dont count is clearly an incorrect reading of the text. A plain reading says San Bernardino has 16 stations, and should be subject to SB79.

Yes on 40, no on 41+42 in CA. Also yes on RTM for public transit in the bay area. If they fail, I'm blaming SB79, because voters know that grow baby grow SB79 makes public transit and services more expensive than they would otherwise be.

Went to check if an old favorite restaurant of mine is still open…and of course stumbled into a story about Westside homeowners panicking that a bus stop might trigger high-density housing. palisadesnews.com/wolfgang-puc...
Wolfgang Puck is Building a Two-Story Restaurant in Pacific Palisades. Why Are Some Locals Worried? - Palisades News
Wolfgang Puck’s planned restaurant replacing Gladstone’s Malibu has drawn community concerns that a new bus stop could trigger state housing density rules under SB79 in a high fire risk area.

Thank you! Do you know, if I open (or re-open in this case) a station, then SB79 applies to it? SB79 isn't a one-time snapshot, right?

I assume not because one of the main arguments against it (at least here in LA) was that having SB79 in place would/could actually disincentivize building new transit…obviously, not a good faith argument but one that was trotted out frequently

The first SB79 proposals in the LA area were all in Santa Monica.

Also, the DSA has historically aligned itself with neighborhood control, which is very grassroots, but also the chief tool in the NIMBY toolkit. That might be changing, as we've seen with Mamadani in NYC, and now Raman. Simple reality is: You can't lower housing costs without more housing.

I agree SB79 will help a lot especially at stations like Heritage Sq where it’s planned right next door.
K Line North isn’t planned until 2047 and K Line South might not even happen until afterwards because of changing the route.

raman directing city departments to speed up housing permitting, follow SB79, accelerate metro projects, and implement HLA bus and bike lanes is a huge deal.
though i agree she can push local politics in the right direction and therefore the state
