Every week, Los Angeles Times housing reporter Liam Dillon and CALmatters' data reporter Matt Levin chat about the latest developments in California housing policy and interview a key housing newsmaker. This week, Matt and Liam discuss the major elements in the long-awaited housing package awaiting a vote in the Legislature, the muted impact of that package, and the interest groups that shape state housing policy. Liam then interviews Sen. Scott Wiener (D-San Francisco) on the difficult politics behind housing. Listen to this podcast and we promise your rent will drop in half instantly.
