I would have very little idea of what our statewide elected officials were doing (or not doing) regarding housing but for your work, so thank you for following these issues so closely and summarizing them in such a clear way. I live in Maria Elena Durazo's district and I am going to start calling her office about some of this stuff so this is really helpful.
Man, this is one of the things I have mixed feelings about, but thanks a lot for being one of the people talking about the cost of construction. Will have to reread after a couple of cups of coffee to understand what I read though, LOL.
While it would be better if California did not have to offer unions what is essentially a bribe in order to build housing for the benefit of the entire public, at the very least it seems we are moving towards a regime where housing can finally, legally, be built at a mass scale--even if prevailing wage laws will make that housing less affordable than it would otherwise be.
Thanks for the insights into CA politics. There’s nothing quite like this is any of our state’s newspapers.
Darrell, thank you for the high-quality summary of what has been going on.
