We Beat Wiener! NOW Tell Newsom to Veto SB 330 & AB 1487
We stopped Scott Wiener's dystopian effort to destroy communities to make way for luxury housing towers. Thousands wrote & called Sacramento to stop Wiener. You're awesome!
Now we MUST KILL two bad bills awaiting signatures on Newsom's desk: SB 330 and AB 1487!
Why Gov. Newsom must veto SB 330 and how to send a message to him:
SB 330 kills public hearings on housing projects at the community level — neighborhood councils, design boards, public benefits committees — all silenced.
SB 330 urges developers to sue cities who miss tough new state "deadlines." Developers can sue for $50,000 for each unit not approved. Seriously, people.
SB 330 allows anyone who hears that a city denied a housing project, to ALSO SUE the city, by claiming they "intended" to rent a unit in the proposed development.
SB 330 is a luxury housing bill which requires that ZERO affordable units.
We can't make this kind of stuff up, people. Using the above points, do this right now:
• Please send an email to "Veto SB 330" RIGHT NOW to Gov. Newsom at this address: [link removed]
• Please call the governor TODAY or Friday during working hours at: (916) 445-2841
We also need your voice, telling Newsom to kill sleeper bill AB 1487!
Transit bureaucrats can't run the buses on time. AB 1487 gives them vast powers to oversee housing development, which they know zilch about!
AB 1487 creates a closed-door housing bureaucracy voters don’t elect, then gives them the power to repeatedly place taxes on the ballot. A recipe for disaster.
Transit use in the Bay Area is collapsing (San Francisco Chronicle) and L.A. ridership has plunged to 1985 levels (L.A. Times). Don't reward metro bosses with AB 1487.
If AB 1487 is forced on the Bay Area, metro officials in Central & Southern California will demand the same powers over housing.
Again, we can't make this stuff up. Using the above bullet points, do this right now:
• Please send an email to "Veto AB 1487" RIGHT NOW to Gov. Newsom at this address: [link removed]
• Please call the governor TODAY or Friday during working hours at: (916) 445-2841
Thanks to you all, for killing Wiener's SB 50 & SB 592. His losses will continue!
