New! California legislation 2016-2017 We've experimenting with way to track and detail legislation, starting with California legislation in the 2017-2018 session that concerns housing and YIMBY issues. This year there has been a banner crop of over 130 housing-related bills introduced. The article so far has this overview table, adapted from the California Economic Summit 2017-18 legislation tracker, and next we'll try out a) auto-creating page stubs for each bill, and b) integrating with other tracking and coverage.
