What a Biden win means for California housing, with Carol Galante

Gimme Shelter: The California Housing Crisis Podcast

Can Joe Biden fix California's housing crisis? No. Can he help? Maybe. In this episode of Gimme Shelter, Matt and Liam discuss the potential and limits of Biden's plans for homelessness, zoning reform, and affordable housing and how they'll impact California. First, an Avocado of the Fortnight gets some San Diego residents' blood boiling (2:00). Then some post-election hot takes on the two statewide housing propositions: rent control and property tax breaks for seniors (7:30). Finally, a back and forth about Biden's housing plans (17:00), followed by an interview with Carol Galante, faculty director with the UC Berkeley Terner Center for Housing Innovation and former Assistant Secretary for Housing at the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development under the Obama administration. (30:00). Note: We had some audio quality issues with this one, apologies. Next episode we should be back to our higher quality audio. Podcast editing by Victor Figueroa http://www.vicfig.com/
