We have to build a lot more housing in California. We have to lower rents in California. We have to prove that we can do more than talk about the challenges we face. Testified in support of a bill for transit oriented development. As Lt. Gov, housing will be a priority.
Check out the latest from our friends at @BrogressivePod, who are bringing a message of Progressive Abundance and championing The Democratic Party to young men and in online circles all across America!

A huge congrats to friend of the pod and our very first guest on Radio Abundance, @GovWesMoore, on being elected Vice Chair of the National Governors Association! It's thanks to Governor Moore that @RadioAbundance launched. We are so excited to see what he brings to the NGA!

We're back next week with amazing guests! What a blast it's been to catch up with @RepJoshHarder on his plans for the Build America Caucus, interview UK Member of Parliament Chris Curtis live in-studio in London, and speculate on the coming era with Vox's @dylanmatt!
Radio Abundance returns with all-new episodes next week! We'll be featuring @RepJoshHarder, Founder & Chair of the all-new Build America Caucus, plus UK Member of Parliament Chris Curtis, Vox senior correspondent @dylanmatt, & Adam Allnutt of @yimbyinitiative & @yimbylabour!

Earlier this week, YIMBY Dem favorites & friends of the pod @brianschatz & @ScottPetersSD introduced the new "Build More Housing Near Transit Act," which ties federal transit funding to state & local pro-housing reforms for transit-oriented development! 🇺🇸🚆🏠 Let's go!
Senator Brian Schatz is LIVE RIGHT NOW on the Senate floor talking about why exclusionary zoning and excessive permitting are "proxies for racism" that are "being weaponized against the working class!" LET'S BUILD, AMERICA!
"In the richest country in the history of the world, people should not have to worry about having a roof over their heads." Yet today, "we could allocate $3 trillion to affordable housing, but if it's still hard to build, all that money would get stuck." Time for a change.
When it comes to one of the most basic necessities for people – housing – both political parties have failed to deliver. It’s a problem of our own making, but it’s one we can get ourselves out of. I’m on the Senate floor to explain how we do it. Tune in.

Taking transit to build homes near transit! Let’s go, SB 79!
And we're live! It's the last policy hearing for SB 79, a California YIMBY co-sponsored bill to legalize multifamily housing near transit. I'm excited to share that at least a third of the audience is volunteers activists who made the trip out to speak in favor! 💪🏘

YIMBY Democrats for America are in Sacramento today supporting @cayimby @yimbyaction @Scott_Wiener in the fight to build more multifamily housing near transit in California with SB 79!
Founder of the Congressional YIMBY Caucus and friend of Radio Abundance (and the new Ranking Member of the House Oversight Committee!) 👇
.@ZohranKMamdani got an energetic and welcoming reception in DC this morning. Huge thanks to @AOC for organizing the breakfast. Proud of our Democratic nominee for NYC Mayor. Let’s win!
That image is from @the_transit_guy and is of Epic Universe in Orlando. These aren't ancient manuscripts. It opened 55 days ago. Think America can't build gorgeous urbanism? Let me introduce you to the Americans who already do. Cities shouldn't need roller coasters to be legal.
One thing that should radicalize you for YIMBYism: everything you hate about the 'architecture of gentrification' - the clunky shifts in heights & colors - is often legally mandated! We know how to build gorgeous urbanism in America! But it's illegal unless it's a theme park.

5-over-1s have an authenticity problem. They often sprawl across entire blocks, fake looking materials, and use vertical material shifts to mask their scale. Our brains recognize authentic buildings instantly and that recognition can’t be faked.
Who's coming out? Join us in Sacramento today to fight for SB 79! Let @yimbyaction know you're coming here: actionnetwork.org/events/the-big… Learn about SB 79 from @cayimby here: cayimby.org/legislation/sb… Let's go!

Party on, friends! Celebrate the news on AB 253 by making some on SB 79. Tomorrow, Wednesday, July 16th, we're headed to Sacramento! And you're invited to join! Register with @yimbyaction here: actionnetwork.org/events/the-big…
[BILL ALERT] AB 253, which will speed up the approval process for new homes by allowing home builders to hire a licensed and certified third-party reviewer, has passed the Senate Housing committee!
I like speeches. The emotion is real. But you can see this really get to me a few times. To hear folks chant "USA, USA" in times like these? To address UK Members of Parliament on the eve of 20 years to the day I was nearly murdered on the London Underground? It's a lot. ❤️
Check out our Executive Director & host of Radio Abundance @SteveMBoyleEpic addressing @yimbylabour & Members of Parliament! Here, he hails YIMBY pioneers like @SonjaTrauss, commemorates surviving the 7/7 attacks, echoes FDR & Churchill, and rallies UK leaders for Abundance!

Last week, I marked the 20th anniversary of surviving the 7/7 attacks by addressing @yimbylabour & UK MPs to share how @YIMBYDems is fighting to Build America & Defeat Fascism, how we can revive our friendship, and why the only thing we have to fear is still just fear itself.
Join me in Sacramento tomorrow! It's my birthday!🎂 The best gift?🎁It's this: simply by showing up, you will change the world. Each new home changes a life, alters the generational trajectory of an entire family, & puts us closer to saving the electoral map in the 2030 Census.
