Journalist Steven Greenhut, said in a 2019 Fox Business broadcast that while building affordable housing, existing homes were often demolished. But because the construction process was so slow, this new housing wasn’t built creating an even worse shortage than before. California should standardize development fees that align with housing goals, and loosen strict zoning and environmental laws so that construction for housing is faster and cheaper.
