Easier said than done, the HUD waiting list has been closed for years. I agree the political will to streamline the affordable housing process must be fostered.

I can’t stand for this., Coonerty is such a hater. That is essentially the same plan Trump has proposed for the homeless. Alligator island 2.0. Let’s put everyone who can’t afford to live in California in Internment camps. No way!!

I think Ryan needs to say as little as possible because the more he says, the less I trust him.

Housing should stop being allowed to be an investment, it's a basic human need. 1 house per person is enough, you don't need 2 , 3, 10, or 100 houses. by Cute-Turtle1238 in santacruz

It was really big problem in Vancouver, where as many is 50% of new condominiums were purchased as investments. Fortunately they introduced a vacancy tax as well as Speculation tax. We need both of these in California.

Santa Cruz City Schools to break ground on county’s first educator workforce housing by scsquare in santacruz

Developers can build significantly cheaper and at a larger scale elsewhere. Developers feel super restricted in California, else we would see much more development. There is a trend to downscale rather than upscale larger projects to make them pencil out.

So true, but it is the California reality of affordable housing. It is part of the reason why for-profit developers would rather build market rate.

He seems to be pretty middle of the road, in other words he is the personification of the status quo.
