Last night #SB79, one of the biggest housing bills in CA history, made it out of the State Assembly with one vote to spare.
The data is fascinating.
Let’s dive into the details, and see how your State Assemblymember voted. 👇
Once again, LA politicians showed they aren't serious about solving the housing shortage.
In the Bay, 22 of 30 Assemblymembers voted Yes.
In SoCal, only 17 of 44 voted Yes.
Dems like @MayorOfLA fought SB 79 while young champions like @AsmSadeElhawary looked to the future.

Fascinating to see the stark rural/urban and north/south divide on #SB79, the biggest housing bill of the year.
Let’s dive into the details, and see how your State Senator voted. 👇
Look at the difference between NorCal and SoCal.
In the Bay, out of the 11 Senators repping urban areas, 8 voted yes.
In LA County, out of 13 Senators only 4 voted yes.
The LA delegation is killing housing bills.

Extremely proud to announce the Student Housing Crisis Act of 2023 #AB1630 and the formation of the #StudentHOMESCoalition today in Sacramento!
With this new legislation, we can truly make a significant dent in lack of affordable homes for students.
Over the past few months, a new coalition between @_UCSA, @SSCCC_OFFICIAL, and @GENupUS has formed to create legislation under the banner of the #StudentHOMESCoalition, with myself as Chair.
