Description

As wildfires continue to erupt across greater Los Angeles, the urgency of the housing crisis is front and center for Angelinos.

Peter Dreier, an urban and environmental policy professor at Occidental College, joins The Excerpt to discuss the worsening situation and what it means for the people who call L.A. home.
