    Some hopeful housing news in a week of disappointments: Negotiations are underway for a trailer bill to expedite CEQA litigation over @CAForever, and, critically, remove the local "LAFCO" and revenue-sharing veto points (in favor of binding arbitration). 1/3

    Solano has the chance to show that California can still do big things. On June 11th, 200+ union workers who want to build the next great American city showed up, asking elected officials to approve the Suisun Expansion and Solano shipyard and break ground, NOW.
