OPINION – California’s housing crisis is large and multidimensional — from a desperate lack of affordable rentals for low- and moderate-income families to an equally severe lack of affordable homeownership opportunities for all but wealthy Californians. If we unite behind land use reforms, renter protections, and policies to make homeownership more accessible and affordable, we can ensure all Californians have a decent place to live, and that those who want to own their own home can do so.

OPINION: We generally think it a big success when public policy successfully fixes a serious problem. Right now, smart California policies are effectively tackling three major issues at once: housing, traffic, and climate change. Anyone not living under a rock knows that California faces an unprecedented crisis in housing affordability.
