San Diego's YIMBY Turn, with Mayor Kevin Faulconer

San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer is a newly self-identified "YIMBY"--a proponent of "Yes in My Backyard" development. Liam and Matt discuss what that the Republican mayor's pro-density policies mean for the one of the largest and sprawliest cities in California. First, an Avocado of the Fortnight asks whether the cure for the state's housing crisis is parked right in front of us (2:00). Then a discussion of whether Gov. Newsom is punting tying gas tax money to housing goals (6:30), followed by a roundup of state legislation originating from the Bay Area's CASA compact (9:30). Then, Liam sits down with San Diego Mayor Faulconer for a conversation about all things housing (22:00).
