CalMatters' Manuela Tobias and the Los Angeles Times' Liam Dillon pick the wildest housing story of 2022: how a California town almost used mountain lions to sidestep housing law.
Due to a loophole in the state's long established Housing Accountability Act, builders in some of So Cal's wealthier areas are going around zoning restrictions to build more low income housing. KCSB's Robert Stark speaks with Liam Dillon, who covers housing issues for the LA Times, about the implications of the so-called "builders' remedy" law - which could lead to a building boom. For Santa Barbara's South Coast, Carpinteria is required to add 901 new units and, the Independent reports, is on track to complete its housing elements deadline. However both Santa Barbara and Goleta have yet to put forth housing elements proposals that meet the State's guidelines. The deadline to submit notarized plans is February of next year.
Los Angeles for decades advertised itself as an American Eden. But it ignored repeated warnings about the consequences of overcrowding on the working class. Now, when the situation is worse than ever, calls to fix it continue to go nowhere.Today, we talk about an L.A. Times analysis that found that more people are squeezing into fewer rooms in L.A. than any other large county in America. And it's been a disaster for public health, even before COVID-19 began to spread. Read the full transcript here.Host: Gustavo ArellanoGuests: L.A.

In the first of three interviews focusing on whether the objectives for more - and more affordable - housing in Claremont are a good idea, or even possible, in the face of the drought SoCal is now experiencing. In the first of thee interviews on this topic, LIam Dillon, a star staff writer for the Los Angeles Times and (fellow) podcaster on this topic, shares the results of his investigative research into whether Southern California can continue to build more homes without a matching increase in the available water. Liam's passion is trying to uncover and solve the big problems that affect daily life in neighborhoods, and adequate water supply being intuitively in opposition to building new homes is key among those problems.Water supply has become one of the chief points of opposition to the construction of new homes in Claremont (and elsewhere). Liam expands on his LA Times article "Does California have enough water for lots of new homes? Yes, experts say, despite drought" where he takes the position that SoCal can add homes and residents without overtaxing the water supply. Liam explores the societal trade-offs, the measures everyone can take to help SoCal use water more efficiently and effectively, and the new technology available to cut wasteful consumption - saving residents money in the bargain. For those concerned about new home construction - at every level - impacting available the available water supply to people at all levels, this series of interviews could not be more germane. To come are two local contributors to the Courier, who also offer expanded, yet cogent discussions spawned and driven by their necessarily limited Courier articles on this topic. =======================================Liam's Website:https://www.liamjdillon.com/Liam's Emailliam.dillon@latimes.comGimme Shelter - Liam's extraordinary podcast https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/gimme-shelter-the-california-housing-crisis-podcast/id1280087136Gimme Shelter Episode referred to in this episode, on this topic:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/gimme-shelter-can-california-build-millions-of-new/id1280087136?i=1000569598298

There's a housing crisis? An introduction to Rest Assured! My name is Gautam Iyer, and I'm the host of Rest Assured, a podcast generally about the San Francisco Bay Area's housing crisis. On this episode, I'll introduce the Bay Area's housing situation. I'll establish that we're in a housing crisis and explain the importance of housing by drawing on statistics, some expert analysis, Bay Area geography and demographics, and a few interesting anecdotes. I'll also talk briefly about what this podcast is going to look like; beginning with the next episode, I'll discuss the history of the larger California housing crisis. Then, I'll do a deeper dive into the current housing situation and explore the state of California housing politics. After that, I'll move to my hometown of Mountain View, California, where I'll focus on the several housing-related issues that dominate local politics and that continue to affect residents of all walks of life. Episodes will be released on a weekly basis. Thank you to Duke University's Kenan Institute for Ethics for giving me the opportunity to pursue this project.
