California’s Housing Shortfall Persists | Los Angeles News

Despite new laws meant to speed up construction, progress remains painfully slow, fueled by rising costs, restrictive zoning, and shrinking public funding. A 2017 law now forces underperforming cities to fast-track developments, approving tens of thousands of units—but developers say affordability mandates and wage hikes make projects unviable. The result? A massive shortfall that continues to leave millions without a place to live. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
