  “I’m going to be more cool, calm and collected,” Thompson-Robinson predicted of how he would feel when UCLA took the field at Nippert Stadium last week.
  That was far from the case.

  As California struggles with a crisis in affordable housing, state lawmakers are trying to improve a severe shortage of housing available to renters who have federal Section 8 vouchers.
  The vouchers allow tenants to pay only 30% of their income toward rent, with federal assistance to pay the rest. But most landlords do not accept tenants who pay with vouchers, saying they are too burdensome.
  Meanwhile, applicants can wait years to qualify for the Section 8 vouchers and, when they do, they often
