My colleagues at @UCLALewisCenter, UC Davis, UC and Berkeley have published a new tool for measuring whether cities are "affirmatively furthering fair housing" in their land use plans, using several California cities as case studies. Quick thread.🧵 tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.…

In Judaism, we believe in Tikkun Olam - a calling to serve humanity and help repair the world.
There is no greater service that LA’s faith communities could do than to provide shelter to those suffering on our streets. SB4 would help us do that work. laist.com/news/housing-homel…

Good good. It’s important for the entirety of the district to move forward here. Thanks Rick.

Good comments by @RickChavezZbur!
He notes that the bill already has good guardrails for coastal areas, as it only applies to infill residential zones, etc. Wants more work on wildfire zones, notes that Weiner shares these goals, and so he will be supporting it today.

Building infill housing is the best thing my part of CA and one of the best things all of CA could do to combat climate change.
Adding housing near jobs and transit is good environmental policy––and good social policy, economic policy, homelessness policy...

To afford to buy a home in Southern California, this housekeeper at two L.A. hotels commutes three hours, sleeps in her car during the week and has her husband commute in so she doesn't fall asleep at the wheel when coming back on weekends latimes.com/california/story…

A bill to limit so-called "crime-free" housing policies in California — the subject of a 2020 Times investigation on their disproportionate effects on Black and Latino tenants — cleared another legislative committee today.

Incredible momentum w/ today’s 10-0 vote in Senate Judiciary Committee for my #ab1418, the Safe & Inclusive Housing Act. Every Californian deserves a safe, inclusive and affordable place to call home. T/y Chair @SenatorUmberg for your support & leadership. #caleg

These stats come as no surprise to those working on housing and homelessness in LA.
Arbitrarily powerful people can push arbitrarily hard on the current system. But until we actually redesign that system, we’ll see results like this.

Echoing @ib2_real, it costs us nothing to be humane to each other.
We’re all we’ve got in this deal. If you have the choice to break or not break a bond of fellowship, please try the latter.

Homelessness On The Streets Skyrockets 40% In 5 Years In LA County laist.com/news/housing-homel…

Remember: btw 2020 and Jan 2023, we (1) froze evictions, (2) added 7k shelter beds, and (3) saw a tragic uptick in street mortality. All put pressure on the count to *fall*. That it rose *at all*–to say nothing of 9%–reveals an emergency even deeper than what we see outside.

These numbers are bad. I was hoping to see a small silver lining in more ppl in interim shelter, but that didn't happen.
Even at current (post emergency) rates, the avg person can expect to spend nearly 3 years on the street. We are just manufacturing chronic homelessness.
