the process for revising the standards for a single zone (R3)

half of the timeline is CEQA

"area lacks clear physical context" is actually the most savage burn possible in plannerese #mvmtg

I remain astonished & rather dismayed at what exactly constitutes a "small" lot in modern parlance #mvmtg

lmao @ Kal Penn Approves this Message calling back to the John Roberts “justices as umpires”

oh snap, we talkin bout expanding the Court? 👀👀

think Yellopain is exactly right to pitch voting as something we do for our communities rather than just a personal thing

reminiscent of the idea that voting is irrational on a personal level but rational if you care about enough people other than yourself

fun to hear Richard Rothstein say "YIMBY is one of my favorite organizations"

Rothstein: we've made excuses to ourselves for the persistence of residential segregation, trying to tell ourselves that it results from a series of individual actions instead of government policy

Rothstein is talking about the ways residential segregation perpetuates inequality in educational achievement through factors like disparate exposure to environmental hazards like air & lead pollution

Listening to today's #rhnamtg & staff are reporting on engagement they did with community organizations for feedback on their priorities for RHNA & the Bay Area's housing needs

funnily enough, none of the community members brought up local control 🤔

people in the focus groups wanted more housing, everywhere, for everyone; they were interested in making sure high resource, exclusionary communities did their fair share; some had concerns about low income residents in those areas facing racism & classism #rhnamtg

homelessness, displacement, and the need for funding were commonly raised concerns

there was interest in putting homes near transit, but concern about transit quality, safety, and reliability (a public commenter asked whether those came from transit riders or drivers) #rhnamtg
