In Nov. Californians will vote on 181 local tax measures that would increase the annual tax burden by billions of dollars, the California Taxpayers Association reported today. Measures propose $2.98 billion in direct taxes and $19.5 B in bonds repaid with property tax increases.

ICYMI: California’s Housing Debate Needs to Start with Supply

Californians benefit from more housing options: more homes to buy, more apartments, and more single-family rentals for the households they serve best.

What's the state of California's manufacturing industry? We let the numbers do the talking!

Manufacturing isn't just an industry, it's a foundation for California's economic strength 💪

At a time when local families are watching every dollar, local proposals should fight to lower prices, not raise them.

Californians deserve policies that improve affordability, not add to the dollar sign.

Firefighters, police, teachers, and nurses are all essential to the livelihoods of the communities they serve. Homeownership is unfortunately not an option for many.

California must prioritize policies that increase supply and reduce costs.

Lawsuit abuse and billboard lawyers helped drive California’s annual litigation costs to $5,429/household in recent years.

Now, more and more county leaders are calling for reform so victims, taxpayers, and local governments aren’t left holding the bill.

Happy Fourth of July! 🇺🇸

Since our nation’s founding, manufacturing has played a critical role in building a stronger, more prosperous future. Today, California manufacturers continue that legacy by driving progress across industries and creating the technologies and products that power our everyday lives.

California is driving out residents because we aren’t building enough homes.

Regulation, fees, and zoning are cutting off supply.

Single family rental providers are part of the solution, delivering quality housing where supply has fallen short.

[California Building Industry Association @CaliforniaBIA]

$131,734. That's how much regulations add to the cost of a new home. And California isn't even fully reflected in that number. 👀👀 Excessive fees, endless delays, and costly mandates continue to put homeownership out of reach for too many families. https://t.co/55OPgQk6Sq

[CA Consumer Advocates for Affordability & Safety @Consumer_Adv]

California underbuilds housing every year – that’s what’s driving high costs. Nurses, teachers, and firefighters – the backbone of our communities – are being pushed out.

Until we fix supply, affordability will keep getting worse.

Newsom’s tax hikes on CA businesses will hurt every industry and cause higher costs for all consumers. The tax increases also will decimate the state’s innovation economy, ending California’s status as a leader in research, development, and the future of the AI economy ...

Housing affordability in California continued to climb in the first quarter of 2026, reaching its highest level in four years, according to C.A.R.’s Traditional Housing Affordability Index (HAI). For more details, visit: https://t.co/E1K7laRrvV

CA consumers are already paying the price for the state’s cost-of-living crisis.

Now, abusive lawsuits under a 1960s law are driving up legal costs for businesses and nonprofits — costs that often get passed on to consumers.
