California just had the biggest year for housing reform in its modern history. On this episode of The Rebuild, Tahra Hoops and Gary Winslett talk with Nolan Gray of California YIMBY about what actually changed: a full CEQA exemption for infill housing and SB 79's statewide upzoning near transit. Gray, a city planner and the author of Arbitrary Lines, argues that the hard part now is feasibility, and that legalizing the condo is the next front in the fight for homeownership. The conversation runs from degrowth in reverse, to the town that declared itself a mountain lion habitat, to why the movement's real power is 200 people showing up in Sacramento.
