The Sacramento Bee published it's Influencers solutions to California's housing problems.
The
problem with those influencers is that none (so far) mention the real
solution: Higher real estate taxes. Low real estate taxes reward land
speculation, and drive prices up. Taxing the "rent" (unearned profit)
out of real estate keeps prices low, and housing affordable. This is
classical economics, BTW (and Henry George). Check out the case for
those taxes here.
