This is disappointing and short-sighted. Before leaving in April, I spent five years helping grow and lead @cayimby --building YIMBY power, advocating for infill housing, and making building homes near jobs, transit, and community resources faster and cheaper. This is not that.

California YIMBY is excited about the potential of the East Solano Plan, not only for new homes, but for creating a template for growth that is aligned with our values—affordability; walkability; access to jobs, transit, and amenities; and sustainability.

The East Solano plan is just sprawl—the CA status quo dressed up with more money and marginally better marketing. Supporters speak about the project's "potential," celebrate its private funding, and claim that we won't be any worse off even if it fails.

Affordable housing is multi-unit housing! #SB50 tackles exclusionary single family zoning and ensures California builds the housing all Californians need.

Current polling says the ballot measure has little chance of passing. YIMBY endorsements are unlikely to move the needle with Solano County residents. Politically, this endorsement won't make a difference to the project but may negatively impact our movement.

Why risk creating a political wedge inside the YIMBY movement at a time when our power is growing? New cities may be inevitable as CA grows, but where and how we build them matters. This particular project is comically ill-advised.

That ignores the cost to taxpayers and the risk to government coffers. We are on the hook for highway and road expansions, building and maintaining infrastructure, and recovery from climate-driven natural disasters and a collapsing insurance market.

California Forever & Flannery Associates is a cohort of billionaire investors from SV. That capital and creativity could do amazing things in Solano, including creating jobs, housing, and thriving communities in places like transit-connected Suisun City. Instead

Flannery & Associates doubled down on their Utopian City. They operated in secret (even during a Homeland Security investigation), sued and bullied local landowners, and have made BIG promises to residents that legal experts agree are largely unenforceable.

The YIMBY movement's debate over the East Solano Plan is a positive reflection of our growth in both size and representation. It's messy but I'm 100% here for it, and I'm grateful to my movement colleagues who feel the same.

"They could've bought cheap land in Vallejo or just outside of it, or Sacramento, or along Capitol Corridor routes like Suisun City or Fairfield and made a 15-minute city viable instead of the middle of nowhere Solano" I would 100% live in a 15-min Suisun City.

The California Forever project is weird because theres a bunch of b Bay Area suburban / exurban sprawl projects happening that nobody cares about, including in solano. the only reason people even care about this one is because tech people are doing it.

What went wrong in California from the 70s-90s is largely what is going wrong in the #US today... #racism got the best of us. Just when we needed to focus on the economy we choose to blame immigrants & young black youth for everything. @Prof_MPastor #LWVC2019

@Rendon63rd , Californians need more affordable homes. Please #FreeSB1120 and permit a vote on a bill that rejects the exclusionary policies of Trump and the McCloskeys in favor of a more inclusive and affordable California!

Yeah, we want to get tough on homelessness [change land use and zoning regs so it’s legal to build multifamily, affordable, and/or permanent supportive housing by right across the city]

This morning @LWV called for the immediate removal of President Donald Trump from office. The President incited a mob of domestic terrorists to overthrow the election and preserve his own power. He is an immediate and present threat to our country, our citizens, & our democracy.

We lost an absolute giant of a woman yesterday. I'm heartbroken at the loss of my colleague, friend, and co-conspirator. A tireless advocate for women & democracy; our world is darker and colder, without her fire. Rest in power Deb. We promise to #KeepOnKeepingOn 🙏

Listening to @veronicalucha of @CAcalls at #LWVC2019 . Our communities lose $11 BILLION every year because of the corporate loophole in Prop 13. Why should companies like Chevron be getting the protections designed to help our grandmother? Shouldn't! Support @Schools1stCA
