I introduced new housing legislation, w/ Attorney General @RobBonta, to create financial incentives for cities to follow state housing law. Under SB 1037, if a city violates housing law & the AG sues & wins, the city is liable for penalties dating to the start of the violation🧵
Under existing law, if the Attorney General sues a city for violation of state housing law & wins, the city faces no financial consequences if it simply follows the court order. Only if it violates that order for an extended period can penalties sometimes ensue.
@Scott_Wiener @RobBonta Yes. This helps tax payers. The infinite money loop of suing cities and then you put out ACA 1 to let cities raise taxes without a super majority. Because suing schools and parents isn't enough. Pure evil. #Gov2026
San Francisco is 224 Million revenue short for 2024 and expected to be 554 million short in total by next year. That means 1/2 you heard me right 1/2 of the San Francisco's budget will have to be cut. Rome is burning, thanks to the likes of Gavin and Wiener this city is going bankrupt.
@Scott_Wiener @RobBonta The city? No, the city just hands the bill over to property owners and the sales tax people. Then departments get drafted into cutting manpower. We know the 'game' now.🤔
@Scott_Wiener @RobBonta I don't think Scott knows the word "incentive" does not mean extort, or blackmail by force.
