Senate Bill 79 — the transit-oriented housing density bill — made it out of the Housing Committee and the Local Government Committee despite both chairs voting against it. Including the committee chair and my former representative Aisha Wahab who in my last article I thought wouldn’t vote against. It’s very abnormal for not one but two chairs to be steamrolled in the California legislature, over the same bill no less, but it does show evolution on a key issue in California.
