This week California State Senator Scott Wiener joins us to talk about a number of issues near and dear to our heart including housing and transportation. We talk about what's holding California housing back and several of his bills that address this in the Senate including SB35 as well as the potential return next year of SB827 which would upzone housing near frequent transit. We also chat about the potential for state level discussions on congestion pricing as well as a far future idea of getting transit alignments right.

Just about everyone who lives in a metropolitan coastal area understands the value of affordable housing. It's a given that if you want the benefits that come with living near lots of people and businesses, you're going to have to pay more for your mortgage or rent. That might be most obviously true of California, where growing demand and stagnant supply have produced 10 of the 11 most expensive metropolitan areas in the country. The state is aware of the problem and at least one potential response, California Senate Bill 827, would address it by limiting the ability of local governments to restrict housing supply. This expert panel will get us started by talking about California and SB 827 and then they’ll try to unpack what this means for the rest of the country: Matthew Yglesias, Vox.com Senior Correspondent and author of "The Rent Is Too Damn High” Emily Hamilton, Mercatus Center State and Local Policy Research Fellow Salim Furth, Mercatus Center Senior Research Fellow   Check out Salim's newest paper on California's density deficit and the likely impact of SB 827 here.

SB827 is currently the hot button issue in Los Angeles, YIMBYs versus NIMBYs, as it were. But perhaps there are better ways to understand and fix the housing crisis in Los Angeles as the cost of houses and apartments has skyrocketed in recent years leading to a surge in people without permanent or stable housing. Researcher and DSA-LA member Jacob Woocher swings by the studio to talk about the housing crisis in LA. We cover how LA developed along incredibly racially and class segregated lines, how this has caused a massive housing shortage, and what LA is doing wrong. We also discuss alternative housing models and what a public investment in housing would look like. We have a new musical intro provided by the band Minutes. Check out their track "Raise Our Fists" on their Bandcamp page: https://minutes.bandcamp.com/track/raise-our-fists-up Also for more reading about the housing crisis in California and how the law enforcement is targeting our houseless neighbors check out our coverage on KNOCK-LA.com: https://knock-la.com/tagged/housing
