If we want to make homeownership more attainable in California, we have to start building condos again.
Today, we barely do.
Here's why that matters — and why I'm working on reforming California's construction defect laws. 🧵
Oh & amidst all the craziness last week (👇) let's not forget, we passed my $11B housing bond! It took me 4 years, but we got it done. This will expand housing for veterans, first-time homebuyers, farmworkers, homeless & more. A good reminder that government can still deliver.
I'm the author of ACA 22. I'm also adamantly opposed to it.
That deserves an explanation – so I want to tell you what went down w/the ACA, and the fight over transfer taxes & the Taxpayer Protection Act. 👇

When we talk about housing, it’s easy to get caught up in units and budgets. But this has always been about helping families have a safe, affordable place to call home. I’m so proud we passed the Veterans & Affordable Housing Bond today — now let’s take it to the voters.
Trump is holding housing hostage over a bill that threatens Americans’ fundamental right to vote.
Using housing as leverage for a racist, undemocratic agenda is reprehensible. We need leaders focused on building homes & lowering the cost, not erecting barriers to the ballot box.
"Cancelled."
Donald Trump just cancelled signing a bill that's strongly supported by Republicans and Democrats to help Americans afford a home.
Rent, home ownership, affording a place to live, all of it is a big challenge for millions of Americans.
But again, Donald Trump
