Gloria taught generations of women that telling the truth about our own lives could itself be an act of political change — & I’m one of many deeply influenced & inspired by this. Her courage made it easier for us to speak up, take up space & fight for the lives we deserve. RIP ❤️

@BuffyWicks It's an outrage
Thanks for working so hard on it

So while I’m upset about this outcome, I’m inspired by those pushing for change: big city mayors, cities, YIMBYs, labor, business, enviros & those who build homes at all levels of affordability. W/diverse coalition, I have no doubt we can bring back something even stronger.

And ultimately I had a bill Friday morning that I truly believe would have unlocked condo construction to serve our working class families desperate for homeownership opportunities.

We put hundreds of hours, months of negotiations, and endless stakeholders engagement and coalition building. I know more about water intrusion and moisture barriers than I ever thought I would.

Our job as legislators is to solve problems, and sometimes that means doing hard things. This is one of those things. This issue has been a third rail. Structural change is necessary.

This historic settlement sends an important message, one that doesn’t end with one company: tech platforms cannot put profits ahead of the safety of kids, and they must be held accountable when their choices cause real harm. https://t.co/mR2YANfGJP

@BuffyWicks Anyone who thinks favoring developers when it comes to potential faulty construction and the resulting lawsuits will somehow help homeowners is selling you a lie.
This is a handout to developers and a tax on new home owners. Don't get it twisted.

Housing policy is rarely simple. But if we want more Californians to have a shot at owning a home, we have to be willing to modernize laws that are no longer producing the outcomes they were intended to achieve. That's the work we're continuing on AB 1903.

To get the balance right, we still have more work to do. Once we incorporate amendments from Sen. Judiciary (expected to be in print Aug. 3),we still need to revise the standards for defects to be fair to good builders while making sure health & safety issues are fully protected.

We also know this won’t solve the whole problem around creating homeownership housing. For example, there are still issues around deposits and subdivisions to address. But industry experts say reforming the construction defect liability process is the biggest change we can make.

Importantly, AB 1903 isn't about protecting bad builders. Homeowners deserve safe homes and meaningful accountability when something goes wrong. Consumers should not be on the hook for shoddy work. Bad developers should be held accountable.

That means fewer attainable homeownership opportunities for teachers, nurses, young families, first-time buyers, and older Californians looking to downsize while staying in their communities.

AB 1903 aims to restore the original balance.
The goal is straightforward:
✅ Make it easier to identify legitimate defects
✅ Improve transparency in the claims process
✅ Create a true "right to repair"
✅ Create more certainty so builders are willing to build condos again

Additionally,
- Claims often lack enough detail to quickly identify and fix problems.
- Builders can still be sued even after making repairs.
- Homeowners can spend years waiting for litigation instead of getting repairs.

Under today’s system, builders have to pay HOAs and their lawyers for things that “might” cause problems in the future. This flies in the face of every other aspect of law, where plaintiffs can’t get damages unless there is actual damage.

The result? A complete lose-lose where homeowners don’t get timely fixes for real defects, and because builders lose money on their existing condo projects, they refuse to build new ones.

Why? The law was originally intended to encourage builders to fix problems before anyone ended up in court.
Instead, over time, it's become a system that often rewards litigation over repair.

But over the last two decades, condo construction has fallen off a cliff.
When California's current construction defect law took effect in 2003, condos made up about 27% of new housing in major metro areas.
Today, it's less than 5%.

Condos are one of the most affordable paths into homeownership.
They're typically 20–30% less expensive than single-family homes and allow people to own a home close to jobs, transit, and the communities where they already live.

If we want to make homeownership more attainable in California, we have to start building condos again.
Today, we barely do.
Here's why that matters — and why I'm working on reforming California's construction defect laws. 🧵
