Fact-Checking Gavin Newsom & Ben Shapiro On Housing Affordability | Episode 423

Gavin Newsom recently had The Daily Wire’s Ben Shapiro on his podcast for a wide-ranging interview on issues. An exchange regarding housing affordability particularly in California caught my attention.

It is no secret I have next to no respect for the governor that has done more to DESTROY housing here in California. So it irks me when he claims to have done more to the contrary. What is even more frustrating is that it seems Ben Shapiro was giving Governor Newsom a pass and in some cases credit for trying to “fix” the California housing crisis.

Ben should know better. He lived here. I even did an entire reaction video to his leaving. (Linked below)

This episode is a segment from my Rumble Livestream fact-checking Gavin Newsom and Ben Shapiro.

California Seeks To TRAMPLE Your Property Rights! | Episode 365

My letter to the State Legislature:

Dear Assemblymembers,

Time is short so I will be brief.

Areas like Los Angeles and San Francisco have had established Rent Stabilization Ordinances for decades. Those rent control initiatives were meant to keep rent affordable and to reduce homelessness. Decades later, these areas are known for the highest rental rates and highest rates of homelessness in the country.

Facts are facts: rent control does the opposite of what it intends to do. It hurts housing providers. It hurts renters.

AB 1157, however well meaning it may be, will only contribute to the State’s housing problems not aid them.

I urge all of you to strongly OPPOSE AB 1157.

Thank you for your attention.
-Andres Segovia

THROWBACK: The Brewing California Insurance Crisis | Episode 340

On July 31, 2023, California Insurance Commissioner Ricardo Lara held a briefing on how the new Safer From Wildfires regulation can help homeowners and businesses qualify for insurance discounts.

I was invited to the webinar.

At the time of this broadcast, insurance companies were pausing coverage, canceling policies, and some companies left the State altogether. As a homeowner, property manager, and real estate broker, I have first-hand knowledge of this. Here is my live reaction to it all.
