California’s Affordability Crisis Began Decades Before Trump
AUDIO: California’s climate policies extend into every aspect of the economy, not just in the price of gasoline and electricity. Housing developments, water projects, road improvements, mining, forestry, literally everything is now evaluated and regulated in terms of climate impact. Along with other environmentalist regulations that have become extreme, this is the reason people can’t afford to live in California anymore. Rather than confront this environmentalist and “climate crisis” overreach that has been getting worse for decades, Democratic politicians blame it on Trump. – Edward Ring on the Rod Arquette Show (segment begins at 4:55) – KNRS Salt Lake City
