In the state capitol this year, legislators, policy experts, home defenders and others said the term “shortage of housing” at least 30 times in the hearing of committees and speeches on the floors – emphasizing how the crisis of housing in California remains one of the main problems of the state.
But what exactly is the shortage of housing and how bad is it in California? Thehe The answer depends on who you askHe writes Ben Christopher on Calmatters.
An analyst told Ben that the shortage of housing is “the difference between the dwellings you have and the dwellings you need.” But the calculation of the “home you need” is based on various factors that not all agree to.
This led to a California housing crisis rating ranging between a simple 56,000 units to so much 8.2 millionS
A decade ago, in one of the first attempts to put a solid number of the state housing problem, the non -party legislative analyzer estimated that California will have to build 2.7 million additional units in the previous 30 years to preserve the residential inflation of the state with the rest of the United States
A year later, the consulting firm McCinsey & Company announced that 3.5 million homes would be needed to close the California-Figure housing gap then. Governor Gavin Newo Used when it is a campaign For the governor, promising to build so many units until 2025 (a spoiler signal: that didn’t happen.)
Despite the imperfect science, Daniel McKu of Harvard University said it was worth noting that the common consensus surrounding the California residential crisis was that it was huge.
- MccueA researcher at Harvard’s Joint Housing Center: “Whether it’s a million or a half million or a half and a half, these are big numbers … There are so many things.

How effective were these resentment policies?
The analysis of recidivism regarding California resentment policies applied over the last decade has sheds a new light on the efficiency of the state’s efforts to redefires its criminal justice system and reduces the prison populationKayla Mihalovich writes to Kaylaters.
The report, published on Wednesday, details of recidivism about five remarkable resentment policies that were implemented in Govs. Jerry Brown and Newsom from 2012 and 2022. At all five policies, about 12,000 people were released and 9,500 were released, with black and Latin American people making up the bigger part of the released.
It is important to note that the report includes one -year recidivism results. The standard schedule for determining recidivism is three years, which only two of the five policies are old enough to measure.
The State Agency’s legal director says the report shows how policies are successful in reducing prisons, without increasing the risks to the public. But some district lawyers, critical of the agency, claim that policies are harming victims, law enforcement and public safety.
