Please join us Sat. May 16 at 10 AM to meet Kate Lister, one of the nation’s leaders in researching and applying the use of telecommuting. Kate will discuss why telecommuting is positioned to change how we work, how we use land — even how it may challenge Sacramento’s approach to housing and density.

 

Meanwhile, Livable California is reaching out to legislators having backroom meetings in Sacramento. We hear that a senate task force will unveil an omnibus housing bill that reduces city control of land-use and pushes upzoning! We ask that you donate to Livable California, today. As we cut through the unprecedented non-transparency in Sacramento, you are our lifeline in this crucial window.

 

In addition, state Sen. Scott Wiener and his dwindling allies are pushing 4 ultra-density bills to pave over neighborhoods from South L.A. to Burbank, from the East Bay to San Diego. We ask you to oppose these 4 bills  NOW. Due to the pandemic, bills will be heard by just ONE policy committee and terrible laws could easily pass.

 

If you’re a group or a city official, it’s most effective to use letterhead to oppose the 4 Worst Bills. You are welcome to use our “bullet-point analyses” of the 4 Worst Bills. Then please send your Oppose letters to the legislative portal, here.

 

If you’re an individual, simply click here to Oppose the 4 Worst Bills: AB 725 (Wicks/Wiener) SB 902 (Wiener) and AB 1279 and AB 3173 (Bloom).

 

Our terrific guest Kate Lister is president of Global Workplace Analytics. Author or co-author of five books, she has been helping public and private employers implement telecommuting and flexible work strategies for more than a decade. Kate is involved in a new poll, whose outcome she may be able to disclose, which asked how many people who were forced to telecommute due to the pandemic would like to continue telecommuting. Her firm’s research has appeared in The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Washington Post and many others.

 

Please join us with Kate Lister, on Saturday, May 16 at 10 am!
