Today, something happened in the City of Sacramento. The beginning of something exciting.

These may be marketed as "condos," but they're not. They're townhomes. And there's a reason why they cost almost a million dollars each, likely twice as much as if they were actual condos.

House Sac’s Kate Rodgers on @kcranews.bsky.social about last night‘s planning commission vote on whether to bring more than 300 new homes to East Sacramento.

My fellow House Sacramento members had a great visit with Senator Angelique Ashby's office last week at YIMBY lobby day. We're excited for SB 79, the big transit-oriented development bill, to get to the Senate floor soon. Let's export Sacramento's housing policy statewide!

We had over 30 people turn out for our event on housing and homelessness in Sacramento County last night. Thanks to Supervisor Rich Desmond, County Planning Director Todd Smith, and Deputy County Executive Dave DeFanti for a great panel discussion. And thanks to 19 Handles for hosting us.
Really awesome @sacyimby.bsky.social discussion tonight with Supervisor Desmond and county leadership on housing policy outside the boundaries of Sac City. Big things cooking!
TOMORROW!
