Trump administration: California regulations, high home costs causing record homelessness

The Trump administration is pushing back on California’s efforts to blame it for a historic homeless crisis, noting that the state is sitting on $450 million in federal aid and doing nothing to slash regulations that have driven up the price of a single low-income unit to $750,000.

The flashpoint came this week in a San Francisco Chronicle editorial that pushed California’s claim that the administration’s policies are to blame and that the president is fighting “against proven homeless policy in California.”
