Manage episode 449018281 series 3364485
“California has become really unaffordable. Where are my kids gonna live? We pride ourselves on it being such a great economy in California, which is fueled by the opportunities that are academic institutions. But if your talent can’t find a place to call home, they’re gonna take their talent and their skills somewhere else, and that is the largest threat to the future success of California,” says Asm. David Alvarez.
Siyamak sits down with Assemblymember Alvarez to discuss his concerns about housing affordability in San Diego, California. He will also share his journey of becoming a lawmaker after growing up in a poor neighborhood in San Diego.
“My parents never owned a home. I’m the first one in our family to go to college, and that college opportunity afforded me this middle-class lifestyle with home ownership, but it’s something that no longer feels like a reality for a lot of people,” says Alvarez.
