Our comments on @Oakland's "Oakland for All" vision plan.
Oakland needs a concrete plan, and responsible team, for delivering improvements to avoid repeating its past failures to develop housing and infrastructure throughout the city eastbayforeveryone.org/2025/…

When every apartment is dual aspect it's much easier to offer apartments with 3 and 4 bedrooms. And with more open space you have room for a kids play area.

Today is Election Day. Thank you to everyone who did research into candidates policy positions, and the impact of ballot measures, and tried to figure out whether they would be good or bad for our region, our state and our country.

Sort of crazy that CCTA is doing this at the same time as it has diesel buses idling at BART for 25-30 mins of a 45 minute round trip schedule, and built in 50 minutes of wait times to a 2 hour schedule

The buried lede here is that this action drastically reduces the risk the public will be subsidizing the cost of rebuilding expensive homes in Malibu and Orinda and discourages future construction in high hazard fire zones. Good news for most of us sfchronicle.com/california/a…

Congrats @EdenHousing on breaking ground on 130 affordable homes in Livermore. We were proud to advocate for it and it is a shame that the approval process took eight years. danvillesanramon.com/housing…

The project would not cost close to this much had they been able to begin construction in 2018 or 2019. One good inflation hedge is just building stuff quickly

Has anyone written about what Tom Steyer was like as a manager at Farallon Capital? Was it well run? Could he attract talented people? Were there labor lawsuits?

California’s utility bills are uniquely high because of NEM subsidies and wildfire liability / related fallout. All of the other stuff is basically noise.

You can easily see this because the utilities in California that don’t have NEM subsidies or wildfire liability (Silicon Valley Power, PAUD, SMUD) are able to deliver power for half of what PG&E/ConEd can.
Every gov candidate should get asked about NEM subsidies

Needs more articulation of the façade, major massing breaks every 50 feet along with a mixture of materials on the building frontage.
We are also concerned about the front setback distance

Many people do not seem to want data centres built near them, despite the fact that they don't cause that much traffic and often generate a lot of local tax revenue. I suspect it's partly because they're ugly! My proposal:

1. 140 apartments proposed for 4 acre San Ramon shopping center
2. after NIMBY pushback, proposal lowered to 40 single family homes
3. Project is approved, NIMBY's sue anyway.
4. Judge sides with city/dev, NIMBY's must pay all legal fees.

Walnut Creek's Shadelands residents are opposing the construction of 422 new townhomes, largely because of traffic concerns.
But converting an office park to townhomes will take about 400 cars off the road at peak times every weekday.

Take a look at the historical multifamily production chart. The first half of the period, there's a lot of green. The second half of the period, a lot of red.
Zoom in on the green mountains and you'll find federal policies carefully designed to make the line go up.

Last week three schools in SRVUSD were recognized as California Distinguished Schools.
This week - teacher layoffs and budget cuts due to declining enrollment. Alamo/Danville/SR desperately need more homes. danvillesanramon.com/educati…

"rising housing costs since 1990 are responsible for 13 million (11%) children not being born, 51% of decrease in fertility from the 2000s to the 2010s, and a 7pp decrease in the share of 20-29 year olds that have started families"
