I think 2008 had a massive impact on California that hasn't really been accounted for. Add to that, and the article points this out, wages aren't tracking with the price of goods and I think this has an oversized impact in a state like California that has such a high out-of-state and out-of-country interest in living here.

I'm also concerned that Newsom is planning spend $12 billion but barely make a dent in the problem itself; particularly when HUD puts the cost at solving homelessness in the United States as a whole at $20 billion. This is another "consultant giveaway" that Newsom and the state of California are particularly good at.

Meanwhile, the street that our company is on is literally _filled_ back to back with RVs, litter, crime and literal human waste running down the gutters. It's beyond frustrating.
