CAHousingPod

Nevertheless, it was a pleasure broadcasting every fortnight, hearing your questions, feedback and episode ideas and talking about everything from mountain lions to golf courses to, of course, casitas. I hope we were interesting and informative. (3/3)

I'm privileged to have worked with Matt Levin, who approached me to start Gimme Shelter, and @manuelatobiasm on over 100 episodes. What I'm most disappointed about is that the podcast didn't receive a fitting end on air and that it took so long to decide on its future (2/3)

Some news. After six years, the Gimme Shelter housing podcast (@cahousingpod) has officially come to an end. It was a great run talking about California's housing affordability crisis and chatting with so many fascinating people about it (1/3)

As far as what's next for @CAHousingPod, the Times and CalMatters are working on next steps and we hope to bring it back soon. But for the moment we'll be on a brief hiatus. Thanks to everyone for all your support going on almost six years now.

This Gimme Shelter episode is also 🚨 because it's @manuelatobiasm's last one. I have a lot to share about Manuela's incredible reporting and co-hosting during the episode. But suffice it to say it's been a gift to work with her and I'll miss her dearly

The new @CAHousingPod is an audio version of @manuelatobiasm's investigation into the oversight gaps of California's mobile home parks and the deplorable conditions at some of the most affordable housing in the state latimes.com/homeless-housing…

Just finished taping a new @CAHousingPod on this incredible @manuelatobiasm story about horrible conditions at mobile home parks in California and why they're allowed to fester. In your ears — with some other important @CAHousingPod news — later this week calmatters.org/housing/2023/…

No @CAHousingPod this fortnight. But @manuelatobiasm and I promise we'll have something big for you in a couple weeks.

We just taped a new @CAHousingPod — in your ears later this week — and one of these two people were our guest. Can you guess who it is?

Bloomberg columnist @foxjust follows our @CAHousingPod interview with @MayorOfLA on whether building housing in gentrifying neighborhoods causes further gentrification and displacement and includes links to a bunch of studies on the issue. bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…

Very excited for the first @CAHousingPod episode of 2023. TWO special guests including new Los Angeles Mayor @KarenBassLA. Will be in your ear buds later this week.

Why is it so hard for California's homeless residents to receive the healthcare they need? Find out on the new @CAHousingPod — our final episode of 2022. latimes.com/homeless-housing…

Am thinking of putting on a @CAHousingPod All-Time Avocado Bracket at some point. Maybe as a fundraiser. Top seeds: Woodside Mountain Lions, UC Santa Barbara Dormzilla, Berkeley Zucchini Lady, Buffy Wicks' newborn.

Big thank you to @angelaswartz of The Almanac local newspaper who broke the Woodside mountain lion story and led us in a great discussion on the pod about housing politics in some of the nation's wealthiest, most exclusive towns latimes.com/homeless-housing…

It's here! The 2022 Avocado of the Year — California's craziest housing story — goes to the town of Woodside for declaring itself a mountain lion habitat so it wouldn't have to build duplexes. Check out all of 2022's housing hijinks on a new @CAHousingPod latimes.com/homeless-housing…

Congrats to all the 2022 Avocado of the Year nominees. You've make California's housing crisis all the more kooky. Make sure to get your vote in by 11/28. Winner revealed on our next episode publishing 12/1! docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F…

Avocado of the Year nominee number 4: Students are Pollution. UC Berkeley neighbors win a lawsuit essentially arguing that students are pollution, forcing the school to cut its enrollment until the Legislature steps in calmatters.org/education/hig…
