Big housing day in #CALeg as Assembly poised to take up #SB9, big duplex bill by @SenToniAtkins
@SenToniAtkins UP NOW
Last year's version of Pro Tem's duplexes bill, SB 1120, ignominiously died for lack of time after Asm passed it too late for Senate to take final vote.

This time they're not waiting as long
“Senate Bill 9 will provide more opportunities for more working families to achieve the california dream and makes the path to home ownership a more inclusive one," @RobertRivas_CA says
.@AssemblySeyarto decries “community planning chaos” of #SB9, says it "lays to waste millions of dollars" spent creating new communities
“This isn’t big guys coming in and tearing up your neighborhood,” @devonjmathis says, faults “way too much miscommunication out there”
.@Asm_Nazarian says this will hurt single-family home investments: “We’re going to be devastating that investment”
vote time!

BREAKING: @GavinNewsom SIGNS #SB9 and #SB10 to allow duplex/lot splits on single-family lots and streamline up to 10 units
@GavinNewsom Neither bill is expected to make as big of a dent as #SB50 or other big-ticket, stalled #YIMBY pushes

But this still signals a major shift from single-family zoning, which dominates CA's housing landscape -- a dynamic Newsom and others fault for a severe housing crunch
Relatedly, reporters who thought we were off the clock a bit post-recall are remembering about those late-afternoon @GavinNewsom bill signings

BREAKING: @GavinNewsom defeats recall, @politico projects
@GavinNewsom @politico Context:

This was all about #coronavirus. @GavinNewsom winter 2020 shutdown coincided with L'Affaire French Laundry and -- even more critically -- a judge gave pandemic-impeded proponents 4 more months to collect signatures. That was the window Newsom foes needed
But in the summer #coronavirus began to recede, @GavinNewsom could tout reopening.

Then Delta spike came. But rather than shy away from rules that fueled recall, @GavinNewsom embraced. His argument: would you rather be strict CA, or Covid-cliff-plunging Texas/Florida?

Good morning!

You made it.

It’s the last day of the @GavinNewsom recall
A live bear. A subpoena during a live debate. There have been plenty of crazy moments: politico.com/states/califor…
.@GavinNewsom has sought to nationalize this race: Californian progressivism vs Trumpism. Strong CA vaccine rules vs Florida-style backsliding.

President @JoeBiden amplified both at a closing rally.

And Team Newsom supremely confident: “no way we lose.”

NEW: Judge rejects request to block California recall or let @GavinNewsom be candidate on Q2:

“There is nothing unconstitutional about placing in one ballot a vote for or against the recall of the Governor and then a vote for a replacement candidate,” Judge Fitzgerald writes
@GavinNewsom “Plaintiff plainly feels disgruntled that a replacement candidate with a small plurality might replace a sitting governor who” could beat that candidate in regular election, Judge wrote. That's not enough to “ halt the mammoth undertaking of this gubernatorial recall election.
@GavinNewsom A blow here to UC Berkeley's Erwin Chemerinsky, who opined in @nytimes that California recall structure is unconstitutional and begged someone to sue

THREAD: CA organized labor has been circulating framework for how they might organize gig workers. Here's why this matters in larger context of #AB5 and #Dynamex (1)
Recap: #Dynamex ruling says more workers are employees. Gig firms like Uber/Lyft are desperate to get out from under this, because their business models rely on work-when-you-want independent contractors. Labor not budging on #AB5 to put ruling in law; Newsom said he'll sign. (2)
BUT: #AB5 not a guarantee of gig worker organizing. Feds have said these workers are not employees, breaking with SCOCA. Newsom has said this gives CA an opportunity to create a new category; labor also talking about a new California Employee category (3)
