Brian Hanlon hosts a panel of Top Wonks:

Ben Metcalf (CA HCD); Tomiquia Moss (Oakland Mayor's Office); Michael Lens (UCLA); Kate Downing (Palo Alto Forward)

A few of the wonkiest moments at the beginning were lost, but we think you'll survive.

The Yimby Crew discusses all the recent press and how to deal with the haters. Laura, Sonja and Brian debate what is worth responding to and what is just straight up nonsense.

Articles we touch on:

Our recently elected Yimby State Senator Scott Wiener is charging out of the gate, adding some teeth to regional housing accountability. We can't wait to see what he does next!

The photo is from the Yimby Party Party back in September. Scott commented that it was the only party he'd ever seen with a zoning map and a disco ball. That's how we roll!

Yimby's are running for the San Francisco Sierra Club Executive Committee! Listen to responses from the recent candidate forum. You can also read Laura Foote Clark's Op-Ed in the Examiner: http://www.sfexaminer.com/millennials-just-frustrated-housing-much-anyone-else/

While the national election looms over everything, the YIMBYs attempt to process local the results. What the hell just happened?

Tomorrow is election day. Assuming we all live, here's what comes next. This week we're sponsored by Brigade. Check out Laura and Sonja's ballots with some explainers on this cool little social network for nerds:

An interview with John Gamboa, President of California Community Builders. It's a deep dive into the weeds of homeownership, focusing on policies to support Latino and low-income Californians. How can YIMBYs effectively advocate with communities of color for our shared housing objectives?
