Gimme Shelter: The California Housing Crisis Podcast show

Summary: Massive wildfires are yet again threatening California homes. On this episode of Gimme Shelter, Matt and Liam discuss how the rising scope and severity of wildfires is exacerbating the state's housing crisis and resurfacing a thorny question: Should we rebuild in areas prone to fire threats? First, an Avocado of the Fortnight exposes how little Matt and Liam know about Westeros' setback requirements (3:20). Then a discussion of the state's most recent spate of record wildfires and what it means for the state's housing goals (6:00). Finally, an interview with Seana O'Shaughnessy, CEO of Community Housing Improvement Program, on whether it's a good idea to rebuild Paradise's largest low-income housing complex.
