Aren't there enough of us to leverage power by voting as a block?

I know Palo Alto Forward was trying to do this a while back - it'd be nice if we could block vote in people that could massively upzone housing (or make whatever change is necessary to increase housing supply).

Myself and a lot of my friends live in these towns with roommates - I'd think if there was a clear group to vote for and clear policy to push to increase housing we'd have a lot of votes.

It's hard to even find what the existing law around building housing is, is it online anywhere?

You should look into supporting https://www.transformca.org which works with Bay Area governments already to solve transportation policy. They have already contributed immensely to transportation accessibility in the region, and have been at the forefront of the BRT fight, but it's an uphill battle and they need more support.
