8 months to the 2022 California Primary: Here are 10 progressive candidates to watch! While district lines are likely to change with redistricting, it's interesting to see three geographic clusters - inland California, the Southeast Bay, and LA County. Map of California labeled "california June 7 2022 prima
Let's start with the Southeast Bay. Stretching from downtown San Jose up through South and East Alameda County and home to many immigrant communities, this is one of California's fastest changing, fastest growing, and most politically exciting places.
.@alex_lee won the Assembly election in 2020 in an open primary and wrote bills this year on online public participation in public meetings, social housing, and protecting tenants. He's running in 2022 to defend the seat from a challenge from the center.

CA Senate Bill 9 allows up to 4 homes in most single-family zones, regardless of local zoning. You can use #SB9 to split your lot, add a 2nd home to a lot, or both (split lot & have 2 homes on each lot for total of 4).

Here's a how-to guide & thread:

#SB9 takes effect on 1/1/2022. Want to use it to build homes? First, check if your lot is eligible:
- SB9 only applies to lots that are zoned for 1 house. If your lot is zoned for more than 1 home, use #AB803 2/
More #SB9 eligibility requirements
- Located in existing urbanized area or urban cluster (this includes most suburbs)
- Not farmland, wetlands, conservation land, habitat for protected species, etc.
- Not landmark or in historic zone
