🎉 Last week Governor Newsom signed SB 427 (Blakespear) into law, extending the Habitat Conservation Fund (HCF) through 2035! Thanks to Sen. Blakespear, Sen. Stern & the legislators who supported SB 427, the HCF will continue protecting California’s natural treasures.

🎉 Congrats to everyone who cares about more affordable, walkable communities! SB 79 (Sen. Wiener), which we were proud to support, passed out of the Assembly and Senate and is headed to Gov. Newsom's desk! This is a huge win for pro-housing, environment, and transit advocates.

One of our Sponsored bills, SB 607 (the Fast & Focused CEQA Act), passed through the Senate Appropriations Committee last Friday. Here’s the latest from our CEO, Melissa Breach, on the future of SB 607 (Wiener). Full statement from cosponsors here: buff.ly/SFbWSOU 1/4

A quote from Melissa Breach, CEO of Prosperity California, that says: Californians are struggling with an incredibly high cost of living.

We can create the thriving and inclusive economy that future generations deserve by building new industries with higher-paying jobs, more abundant and affordable housing, and more renewable energy infrastructure. And we can do that while maintaining robust environmental protections.

SB 607 will preserve critical environmental safeguards while lowering costs and improving access to the essential services Californians desperately need.

👀 🚨 Uhm ... From the PEW Research Center Poll today: Americans disapprove of Trump's assault on DEI policies by 9 points: 53-44 He has lost support on immigration and now on this. What's gonna happen to the elite DC/NY media narrative on DEI? www.pewresearch.org/politics/202...

Graphic of Pew poll showing how majority disapprove off key Trump regime actions including cuts to fed debts and agencies (55-44), increasing tariffs (59-39), and actions to end DEI polices in fed govt (53-44).

Our bill to modernize CEQA & reduce its use to obstruct projects for reasons unrelated to the environment passed its first committee today. SB 607 makes focused, common sense changes to CEQA to help it protect the environment without being a NIMBY tool.

Great report! ULA passed because Angelinos wanted to tax mansion sales to help fund affordable housing. Unfortunately, aspects of the bill, however unintentional, worsen our housing shortage. We can fix ULA to ensure it does not disincentivize lower-cost homes for Californian families.

Happy World Wildlife Day! Gentle reminder that one of the best ways to protect wildlife is by removing the pressure to develop the natural lands animals depend on. The best way to diy that is by making it faster, cheaper and easier to build homes in existing communities. @prosperityca.bsky.social

Unfortunately for academic anti-YIMBYs, building more market rate housing to lower housing prices works in practice but not in theory.

Let's get CEQA working as intended-- preserving what works & reforming the parts that are too often weaponized to block bus lanes, climate smart housing, & green energy projects. Thank you @scottwiener.bsky.social for your leadership and excited for @prosperityca.bsky.social to co-sponsoring SB607.

The administration says more than 20K federal employees have accepted the federal buyout, but even if true, that isn't as much as it seems. We have 3million+ federal workers, and 5-7% resign each year. Even with 35%-50% being military, Elon just agreed to pay...1/3

Sharing such resources for those at risk of the LA fires. There will be a lot to unpack and discuss in the coming days, but for now, the top priority is the safety and security of everyone at risk. If you know other resources or ways to help, please share.

I know Allison Riggs and she is exactly the kind of judge any state would be lucky to have. And this isn't about her, it's about giving the partisan NC Supreme Court the authority to select judges--stripping that right from NC voters.

👏 Constraining housing supply in the areas people most want to live, hurts working people. The beneficiaries are investors like Blackstone and Blackrock who exploit the housing shortage by buying up starter homes and converting them to $$$ rentals.

Melissa Breach @melissabreach.bsky.social · 12/12/2024

This is 100% right. People have already forgotten what a leap forward ACA was, and how deliberately difficult to repeal. Incremental is often more resilient and can help us get to the full public option. And I would add prescription pricing / coverage to my list of priorities.

This morning #scotus outlawed affirmative action in higher Ed admissions. From Justice Brown's dissent: “With let-them-eat-cake obliviousness, today, the majority pulls the ripcord and announces ‘colorblindness for all’ by legal fiat.
