Spencer Pratt Continues to Slam California's Housing-Density Moves, Takes Aim at SB 79 in Latest Twitter Rant
Reality TV personality Spencer Pratt is once again stirring up controversy by speaking out against Senate Bill 79, a recently approved measure that would increase housing density near transit hubs in California.
After months of criticizing Gov. Gavin Newsom, Mayor Karen Bass, and proposed wildfire recovery bills, Spencer Pratt has set his sights on another piece of legislation in the housing world. The outspoken reality TV star took to social media to voice his disapproval of Senate Bill 79, which passed the California Senate last week and is now headed to Newsom's desk for approval.
In his latest Twitter rant, Pratt called out the bill for its aim to upzone areas near transit hubs, allowing for apartment buildings up to nine stories tall. He argues that this move will only lead to more overcrowding and congestion in the already densely populated state.
"California does not need more density, it needs more space and suburban living," Pratt tweeted. "Stop trying to cram people into tiny apartments next to train stations. It's not the answer to our housing crisis."
While many have dismissed Pratt's comments as baseless and uninformed, his vocal opposition to the bill has garnered attention from both supporters and critics of the legislation. Some have even pointed out the irony of Pratt, a wealthy celebrity, speaking out against a bill that aims to increase affordable housing options in the state.
However, Pratt remains firm in his stance, claiming that the bill will only benefit large developers and not the average Californian. "This bill is a disaster waiting to happen," Pratt stated. "It's just another way for big developers to make a profit while the rest of us suffer."
