Your INCREDIBLE calls and emails forced senate boss Toni Atkins to delay the Assembly's vote on SB 1120 all week! She is trying again TODAY, sometime after 1 pm!
SB 1120 is Agenda Item No. 145. We estimate it will be heard after 2 pm today.
Please DO THIS, RIGHT NOW:
If the Assembly votes AYE, then this sweeping experiment to fill a "hole" in market-rate housing that does not exist will head to Gov. Gavin Newsom.
We have a BIG job with the governor. Does he believe the discredited "trickle down" luxury housing theory? Does he think remote work is a fad? Does anyone in Sacramento find it ironic that Pinterest, the billionaires of homebodies, no longer wants a Bay Area home?
CLICK HERE to send a quick letter to the LATINO ASSEMBLY CAUCUS, opposing SB 1120 and its troubling, OUTSIZED, impact on Latino families and neighborhoods.
If we lose: California's becomes the first state in U.S. history to deliver 7.4M single-family homes, housing 21M people, over to luxury density developers — crushing neighborhoods during a pandemic economic crisis.
If we win: The obsessed Bay Area state Sen. Scott Wiener will be back, sucking the air out of the room and trying hard to prevent, for the 4th year, an honest discussion of the legislature's defunding of affordable housing — and how the legislature rectifies that. For shame, Sen. Wiener.
Behind it all: Wiener, swimming in more developer money than any legislator on the West Coast, and Atkins, married to a developer.
