  Local fees prevented the building of 5,000 new homes for low-income Californians from 2020-23. That’s detailed in a new study by UC Berkeley’s Terner Center for Housing Innovation. The study looked at 691 construction projects in California built under the federal Low Income Housing Tax Credit program. “Local impact fees” added an average of almost $20,000 per unit, totaling $1.2 billion. Absent the fees, the program could have funded 1,250 additional affordable housing u

  Data from CalRecycle show that of the 77.2 million tons of waste generated in 2024, only 32.4 million tons or 42% was recycled. The rest, 44.7 million tons, was dumped in landfills.  This is far from the state’s goal to reduce, recycl
