New 🎙️: How Los Angeles, known for its single-family-home suburban sprawl, became the most housing-overcrowded place in the country, and the deadly consequences during the pandemic: https://t.co/UFvdBTYKTz

@manuelatobiasm Nevertheless, it was a pleasure broadcasting every fortnight, hearing your questions, feedback and episode ideas and talking about everything from mountain lions to golf courses to, of course, casitas. I hope we were interesting and informative. (3/3)

[Liam Dillon @dillonliam]

I'm privileged to have worked with Matt Levin, who approached me to start Gimme Shelter, and @manuelatobiasm on over 100 episodes. What I'm most disappointed about is that the podcast didn't receive a fitting end on air and that it took so long to decide on its future (2/3)

[Liam Dillon @dillonliam]

Some news. After six years, the Gimme Shelter housing podcast (@cahousingpod) has officially come to an end. It was a great run talking about California's housing affordability crisis and chatting with so many fascinating people about it (1/3)

[Liam Dillon @dillonliam]

As far as what's next for @CAHousingPod, the Times and CalMatters are working on next steps and we hope to bring it back soon. But for the moment we'll be on a brief hiatus. Thanks to everyone for all your support going on almost six years now.

[Liam Dillon @dillonliam]

@CAHousingPod @manuelatobiasm This Gimme Shelter episode is also 🚨 because it's @manuelatobiasm's last one. I have a lot to share about Manuela's incredible reporting and co-hosting during the episode. But suffice it to say it's been a gift to work with her and I'll miss her dearly

[Liam Dillon @dillonliam]

The new @CAHousingPod is an audio version of @manuelatobiasm's investigation into the oversight gaps of California's mobile home parks and the deplorable conditions at some of the most affordable housing in the state https://t.co/lz4loCFNgD

[Liam Dillon @dillonliam]

Just finished taping a new @CAHousingPod on this incredible @manuelatobiasm story about horrible conditions at mobile home parks in California and why they're allowed to fester. In your ears — with some other important @CAHousingPod news — later this week https://t.co/6Nw0ul4u2Z

[Liam Dillon @dillonliam]

No @CAHousingPod this fortnight. But @manuelatobiasm and I promise we'll have something big for you in a couple weeks.

[Manuela Tobías @manuelatobiasm]

New podcast just dropped, in which @dillonliam and I discuss the implications of the builder's remedy with the help of the very smart @CSElmendorf.

Feedback on our Steph Curry puns welcome🏀 https://t.co/KpKD0CzSh7

[Liam Dillon @dillonliam]

We just taped a new @CAHousingPod — in your ears later this week — and one of these two people were our guest. Can you guess who it is?

[Manuela Tobías @manuelatobiasm]

We're back with a new @CAHousingPod episode! @dillonliam and I talked with Orange County's mental health director @DrVeronicaKell1 about what to expect from CARE Courts, which will go into effect this year in some of California's biggest counties. https://t.co/RP1hQSduCn

[Liam Dillon @dillonliam]

Bloomberg columnist @foxjust follows our @CAHousingPod interview with @MayorOfLA on whether building housing in gentrifying neighborhoods causes further gentrification and displacement and includes links to a bunch of studies on the issue. https://t.co/kPiFrVjfzs

[Manuela Tobías @manuelatobiasm]

This was a great interview with Los Angeles Mayor @KarenBassLA on housing and homelessness from my co-host @dillonliam and worthy (but temporary 😉) replacement @boreskes https://t.co/dDYLeBib68

[Liam Dillon @dillonliam]

Very excited for the first @CAHousingPod episode of 2023. TWO special guests including new Los Angeles Mayor @KarenBassLA. Will be in your ear buds later this week.

[Liam Dillon @dillonliam]

Why is it so hard for California's homeless residents to receive the healthcare they need? Find out on the new @CAHousingPod — our final episode of 2022. https://t.co/jMQkZj9ImS

[Liam Dillon @dillonliam]

Am thinking of putting on a @CAHousingPod All-Time Avocado Bracket at some point. Maybe as a fundraiser. Top seeds: Woodside Mountain Lions, UC Santa Barbara Dormzilla, Berkeley Zucchini Lady, Buffy Wicks' newborn.

[Liam Dillon @dillonliam]

@CAHousingPod Big thank you to @angelaswartz of The Almanac local newspaper who broke the Woodside mountain lion story and led us in a great discussion on the pod about housing politics in some of the nation's wealthiest, most exclusive towns https://t.co/fs7Iih9cA4

[Liam Dillon @dillonliam]

It's here! The 2022 Avocado of the Year — California's craziest housing story — goes to the town of Woodside for declaring itself a mountain lion habitat so it wouldn't have to build duplexes. Check out all of 2022's housing hijinks on a new @CAHousingPod https://t.co/fs7Iih9cA4

[Liam Dillon @dillonliam]

Congrats to all the 2022 Avocado of the Year nominees. You've make California's housing crisis all the more kooky.

Make sure to get your vote in by 11/28. Winner revealed on our next episode publishing 12/1! https://t.co/bivZGFUxap

Avocado of the Year nominee number 4: Students are Pollution.

UC Berkeley neighbors win a lawsuit essentially arguing that students are pollution, forcing the school to cut its enrollment until the Legislature steps in https://t.co/WORcZfqhE0
