Gov. Gavin Newsom was in San Francisco on Thursday to tout a housing bill package he signed into law that aims to crack down on development-resistant cities and force local officials to speed up the approval process for new housing projects and homeless shelters, among other goals.

To those cities “turning their backs” on the housing crisis, Newsom said, “we’re turning up the heat.”
