The Bay Area cost of living is too high
Let’s require economic impact studies for all new BAAD rules
Sign the Petition
Gas. rent. utility bills. we are drowning out here.
Show us the cost of new regulations before they pass.
Why is this happening
You’re not imagining it: life here keeps getting harder to afford — and it’s not just the prices. It’s the feeling that working people like you are paying more and more while nobody in power is looking out for you.
Rent, gas, groceries, energy bills — everything goes up, and you’re the one left figuring out how to make it work. Then the Bay Area Air District keeps adding rules that push costs even higher, and those costs get passed right down to residents. You end up holding the bag — again.
But you’re not stuck with that.
You can demand common sense and basic fairness. Before BAAD passes another rule, they should have to show you what it will cost — upfront, in plain language — so you can see the impact on your household before you’re forced to pay it.
You deserve honesty. You deserve transparency. And you deserve a fair shot at affording life here.

“$6 a gallon for gas. $7 for coffee. $3,000 for rent. How is anyone supposed to keep up?”
“Every month my Utility bill goes up. I don’t even know why anymore.”
“A million dollars for a fixer-upper is not the dream I was sold.”
“Families like mine can’t take another hidden fee or higher price. We’re already stretched to the breaking point.”
Make the bay area affordable again.
Families, renters, and small businesses, we all deserve a fair shot. Tell the Air District to be upfront about the costs before passing new rules.
