President-elect Donald Trump has proposed a variety of policies that experts say could both worsen and improve the housing crisis. What actually happens depends on which ideas become reality.
Climate & Environment
President Biden has announced a commitment to phasing out the purchasing and use of single-use plastics across the federal government.
Federal officials release a proposal outlining options for new, long-term rules for managing chronic water shortages from the overtapped Colorado River.
Rules require that affordable housing built with federal grant money be accessible to people with disabilities. Los Angeles failed to do that, officials said.
The Newsom administration is in conflict with itself on gasoline pricing. Is it trying to hold down prices at the pump or is it OK with hiking them? Both, it seems.
Politics
The Biden administration is working against the clock to try to preserve at least some of the outgoing president’s legacy before Trump takes office.
Opinion
Gov. Gavin Newsom and other leaders must mount a strong offense as well as robust defense against attacks on environmental protection and climate change mitigation.
World & Nation
Among other things, Trump’s agenda would scale back federal government efforts on civil rights and expand presidential powers.
In their final meeting, China’s leader Xi Jinping told President Biden that his nation was “ready to work with a new administration.”
The Biden administration and California are close to finishing new plans for operating the state’s major water systems, an overhaul that is generating debate.
