this story was just discussed on airtalk [0], including a segment with gov. newsom, where the thrust was whether the striking down of sb50 is compatible with the progressivism espoused by many californians.
it’s not. opposition to building housing is squarely conservative—an impulse to keep things the same for selfish advantage rather than sharing prosperity with others.
with that said, these labels are merely that—they don’t have to define us in the ways that they seem to do. let’s throw off the labels and work on welcoming people into our neighborhoods. let’s build housing for them and let them enrich our lives.
but it’s hard. i have a neighbor who complains about being priced out of our neighborhood while at the same time complaining about the people coming in. *sigh~
