State legistators discuss the challenges facing the state in coping with the housing crunch.
"In looking to early writers, essayists and prognosticators, the dawn of the 21st Century was supposed to bring cures for many of the historic ills plaguing our populace. Yet, upon reflecting on our current environment, we realize that while our world may have improved, we continue to face many of the same challenges--including sufficient housing. In hopes of furthering this discussion among our State leaders, TPR is pleased to present this interview with California State Senator Joseph Dunn & Assemblywoman Patricia Wiggins, who offer insights as to why we're in this predicament in the first place--and what can be done at the local level to aid in their efforts."
