As President-elect Donald Trump prepares to reenter the White House, California housing advocates are bracing for how a second term could impact the state’s notoriously high home prices, rents and rates of homelessness.
This time around, that’s changed, and Trump has recognized housing affordability is a problem, said Matthew Schwartz, executive director of the policy organization the California Housing Partnership.

Democrats were also pushing a housing-heavy agenda during the campaign. Trump's return to the White House comes as the UCLA Lewis Center for Regional Policy Studies reports many cities across the Golden State are missing their marks where it comes to planning an adequate housing supply that matches the expanding crisis.
Trump has vocally supported the call for massive tent cities for unhoused citizens, vowing at the same time to issue tariffs, deport undocumented immigrants, open federal land to housing development, cut government assistance programs, and relax zoning restrictions, among several other countervailing ideas that could cancel out progress on what became one of the 2024 election's most significant issues.

Make no mistake, this is how it translates...
Trump has vocally supported the call for massive tent cities (refugee camps) for unhoused citizens, vowing at the same time to issue tariffs, deport undocumented immigrants (less for the unfortunate and more for us), open federal land to housing development (massive land grabs for friendly developers who are loyal supporters, take what is public's and give it to friendly developers who are loyal supporters, repeat after me), cut government assistance programs (and provide massive tent cities short and free transportation to massive tent cities, see above), and relax zoning restrictions (massive negative gentrifications and even more profits for the preferred friendly developers who are loyal supporters), among several other countervailing ideas that could cancel out progress on what became one of the 2024 election's most significant issues.
