Nearly 1 in 3 U.S. apartment renters did not pay their April rent, and you can be sure that number will be higher in May. Californians in particular feel increasingly housing insecure these days, which is why we've invited housing advocate Michelle Pariset on to discuss who is fighting for the little guy in California's capitol, as well as what Gavin Newsom is doing (and what he should be doing) to protect renters and homeowners struggling with mortgages. While Pariset and coalitions like Housing Now! are fighting for a full-on moratorium to rent and mortgages, listeners can get involved by joining groups at the forefront of the housing rights battles, such as ACCE Action, Democratic Socialists of America and the Sacramento Tenants Union. Two Sacramento residents experiencing homelessness have been hospitalized with coronavirus, and we discuss how it is past time to act for state and local politicians who've placed our most vulnerable population lower on the list of priorities during the COVID-19 pandemic. A special shout to the Sacramento Bee for quoting 'Twitter-user' Kempa as he Karens out on the county's dangerous refusal to shut down golf courses during the apex of the pandemic.Thanks for listening and, as always:Patreon: patreon.com/voicesrivercity Twitter: @youknowkempa, @guillotine4you, @ShanNDSTevens, @Flojaune And thank you to Be Brave Bold Robot for the tunes.

47 - Michelle Pariset on California Housing During Coronavirus (4.10.2020)

Rob Bonta

Several high-profile tenant protection and rent control bills face tough hearings in the state Legislature next week, all facing an uncertain future. On this episode of Gimme Shelter, Matt and Liam discuss the latest in a series of efforts in the state Capitol to push tenant rights, and why almost all of those efforts have failed in the past. First, the Avocado of the Fortnight takes us to a bedrock of California housing absurdity (1:30). Then Matt and Liam discuss recent stories they've published investigating the personal finances of lawmakers (5:40), and how they may shape perspectives on housing issues. Next an overview of new pro-tenant legislation introduced this year, and the prospects those bills have of passing (15:00). Finally, an interview with Michelle Pariset, housing advocate for Public Advocates (30:00), and Assemblyman Rob Bonta, Democrat from Alameda and author of a  "just cause" eviction bill (47:20).
