lawmakers added several deferral options, allowing cities to postpone implementation in selected areas until approximately 2030
Oh so this will never happen.

Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:
-
To learn about and discuss meaningful news, analysis and perspectives from around the world, with a focus on news outside the Anglosphere and beyond what is normally seen in corporate media (e.g. anti-imperialist, anti-Zionist, Marxist, Indigenous, LGBTQ, people of colour).
-
To encourage community members to contribute commentary and for others to thoughtfully engage with this material.
-
To support healthy and good faith discussion as comrades, sharpening our analytical skills and helping one another better understand geopolitics.
We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.
Newcomm and Newsmega Rules:
The Hexbear Code of Conduct and Terms of Service apply here.
-
Link titles: Please use informative link titles. Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.
-
Content warnings: Posts on the newscomm and top-level replies on the newsmega should use content warnings appropriately. Please be thoughtful about wording and triggers when describing awful things in post titles.
-
Fake news: No fake news posts ever, including April 1st. Deliberate fake news posting is a bannable offense. If you mistakenly post fake news the mod team may ask you to delete/modify the post or we may delete it ourselves.
-
Link sources: All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include the Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance) or at least strip out identifier information from the twitter link. There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source.
-
Archive sites: We highly encourage use of non-paywalled archive sites (i.e. archive.is, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org) so that links are widely accessible to the community and so that reactionary sources don’t derive data/ad revenue from Hexbear users. If you see a link without an archive link, please archive it yourself and add it to the thread, ask the OP to fix it, or report to mods. Including text of articles in threads is welcome.
-
Low effort material: Avoid memes/jokes/shitposts in newscomm posts and top-level replies to the newsmega. This kind of content is OK in post replies and in newsmega sub-threads. We encourage the community to balance their contribution of low effort material with effort posts, links to real news/analysis, and meaningful engagement with material posted in the community.
-
American politics: Discussion and effort posts on the (potential) material impacts of American electoral politics is welcome, but the never-ending circus of American Politics© Brought to You by Mountain Dew™ is not welcome. This refers to polling, pundit reactions, electoral horse races, rumors of who might run, etc.
-
Electoralism: Please try to avoid struggle sessions about the value of voting/taking part in the electoral system in the West. c/electoralism is right over there.
-
AI Slop: Don't post AI generated content. Posts about AI race/chip wars/data centers are fine.

There are also carve-outs around city population specifically so it doesn't apply to Beverly Hills and around the number of rail stations in a county so it doesn't apply to Contra Costa County.
It's the most nothing burger of all time.
And even if it didn't it's just upzoning. Granted bad zoning laws are a problem sometimes but asking "developers" to decide to make apartments means you're just going to get overpriced condos that will be used by blackstone as a financial instrument and not the kinds of affordable apartments that would bring prices down across the board.
Newsom's media people are working hard right now to make everything he does seem really great. He sees his shot at the presidency in 2028.
Even if he wanted to do social housing (he doesn't), it's basically illegal under the CA Constitution and would require a statewide ballot to change. Article 34.
They tried a few years back and it went down in flames.
Yeah California's constitution has a bunch of stupid stuff like that baked in by the neolibs, like affirmative action is illegal here too (not that that stops racists from thinking we're doing it all the time).
Housing price go down is non-negotiable.
but they'll take the money up front!
transit hub in America: a covered bus shelter
transit hub in China: this single train station is nearly three times the size of Heathrow's entire terminal complex
three times the size of Heathrow's entire terminal complex
I don’t know if this is a good thing…Heathrow is impossibly large and was designed by a twelve yearold
Chongqing probably sees crazy tourism year round. And add any maintenance/parking yards for rail and the size stacks up easily.
Once you start looking for it, god damn does infrastructure (including rail but other things too) take up a lot of space. Over half of any given city is just the stuff that makes the other stuff work.
Don't talk shit about my transit hub! There are multiple covered bus shelters and a metroPCS store
