I believe the single-most important bill right now in California is SB 79.

https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=202520260SB79

This bill would be a real game changer for housing, transit, and the environment.

Many transit stations are surrounded by zoning rules that ban apartment buildings. Bill SB 79 would force all California cities to legalize walkable multi-family housing near transit stops.

This would be a huge win in many cities.

Rich people in Palo Alto and Menlo Park are protesting against the bill🤦
