Episode 26: No Easy Answers – Cities, School Districts, and the Statewide Affordable Housing Crisis Let’s Talk - Lozano Smith Podcast

As California seeks legislative solutions for the statewide housing crisis, new laws increasingly seek to ease the path toward construction of affordable housing.  Implementation of these laws has widespread financial and planning impacts on cities, counties and school districts.  Host Devon Lincoln talks with Harold Freiman and Bill Curley about the affordable housing crisis and the repercussions of the new laws at the local level.  This conversation explores how cities and counties are effected by the increasingly centralized state laws, and how the resulting increase in the pace of development impacts school districts.
