California must get serious about housing supply in 2020

Jeanne Radsick, California Association of Realtors: California’s housing supply and affordability crisis is not a partisan issue. It does not discriminate geographically, ethnically or otherwise.

California regains its power to regulate internet service providers. Here’s why that’s good news for consumers

Debra Gore-Mann and Paul Goodman, Greenlining Institute: California needs to hold internet service providers accountable.
