Like usual on July 5, the sky is gray looking east of me, but there are no clouds. I can’t understand why people would voluntarily choose this, especially after recent big fires around here. Feeling lucky I’m not in the purple area right now:

Guess what I got in the mail today: Astroturf BS from billionaires trying to stop the billionaire wealth tax ballot prop with their own prop, misleadingly framed around protecting average people’s retirement savings.

An envelope mailed to me trying to get me to sign their petition to get an anti-billionaire-wealth-tax measure on this November’s California ballot. If you get one of these, for the love of everything that’s holy, don’t f-ing sign it.

I was thinking more about fire rated windows being required by CBC 1021.2. But this fits into the exception, with 2 stairs and no dead ends. I guess really the only thing is safety glazing w/in 24” of either side of a door, but that’s only at <60”AFF. up.codes/viewer/calif...

1021.2 Wall Separation
Diagram
Exterior egress balconies shall be separated from the interior of the building by walls and opening protectives as required for corridors.
Exception: Separation is not required where the exterior egress balcony is served by not less than two stairways and a dead-end travel condition does not require travel past an unprotected opening to reach a stairway.

(k) of Section 65589.5, unless the local government demonstrates, pursuant to the standards in subdivisions (j) and (o) of Section 65589.5, that it has a health, life, or safety reason for denying the project.

Periodic reminder to Democratic Party electeds: preserving the patterns of segregation represented by single-family-only zoning and local control over land use is a page straight out of the MAGA playbook. Specifically, page 511.

Text from page 511 of Project 2025:

It is essential that legislation provides states and localities maximal flexibility to pursue locally designed policies and minimize the likelihood of federal preemption of local land use and zoning decisions.
In the same manner, Congress should prioritize any and all legislative support for the single-family home.
…

American homeowners and citizens know best what is in the interest of their neighborhoods and communities. Localities rather than the federal government must have the final say in zoning laws and regulations, and a conservative Administration should oppose any efforts to weaken single-family zoning.

I was just about to post this! From Government Code 65915:

GC 65915 (e) (1) In no case may a city, county, or city and county apply any development standard that will have the effect of physically precluding the construction of a development meeting the criteria of subdivision (b) at the densities or with the
concessions or incentives permitted by this section. Subject to paragraph
(3), an applicant may submit to a city, county, or city and county a proposal for the waiver or reduction of development standards that will have the effect of physically precluding the construction of a development meeting the criteria of subdivision (b) at the densities or with the
concessions or incentives permitted under this section, and may request a meeting with the city, county, or city and county. If a court finds that the refusal to grant a waiver or reduction of development standards is in violation of this section, the court shall award the plaintiff reasonable attorney's fees and costs of suit. This subdivision shall not be interpreted to

Regular reminder to non-fascist legislators and city council members: not changing single-family zoning is a page right out of the MAGA playbook. Specifically, page 511:

From page 511 of Project 2025:

It is essential that legislation provides states and localities maximal flexibility to pursue locally designed policies and minimize the likelihood of federal preemption of local land use and zoning decisions.
In the same manner, Congress should prioritize any and all legislative support for the single-family home. Homeownership forms the backbone of the American Dream. The purchase of a home is the largest investment most Americans will make in their lifetimes, and homeownership remains the most accessible way to build generational wealth for millions of Americans. For these reasons, American homeowners and citizens know best what is in the interest of their neighborhoods and communities. Localities rather than the federal government must have the final say in zoning laws and regulations, and a conservative Administration should oppose any efforts to weaken single-family zoning.
