The inimitable @philwillon taped @GavinNewsom’s presser yesterday. Housing highlights. On rent control, Newsom reiterates interest in a deal but offers no specifics: "I will not lay out the details here today. That will almost guarantee there will be no compromise if I did that."
@GavinNewsom Newsom didn’t offer specifics on any other part of his housing plan, but said his general philosophy will be around housing production, preserving existing housing and preventing displacement. 
@GavinNewsom More from Newsom’s press conference yesterday. On homelessness, expect a lot more state involvement than we’ve seen. He has more details about what he actually wants to do here — state homelessness czar, focus on regional strategies, leaning into permanent housing vs. shelters
My colleague @dakotacdsmith recently assessed Newsom’s record on homelessness in San Francisco latimes.com/politics/la-po…
@dakotacdsmith Especially if the Prop C result in San Francisco holds, you could make a compelling case that the bigger problem now when it comes to homelessness in the state isn’t a lack of funding but instead actually approving supportive housing in existing neighborhoods.
It’s strange that Newsom continues to talk about how much of California’s homeless population is not from here. While you maybe could argue San Francisco is a slight exception research says that’s a myth. politifact.com/california/art… & voiceofsandiego.org/topics/nonprof… & spur.org/publications/u…
