Editorial: California is on the verge of flushing six yearsof housing progress down the toilet
San Francisco Chronicle At issue is California’s Regional Housing Needs Assessment, colloquially known as “ree-na.” The details are complicated and obscure, filled with technocratic jargon and acronyms, which is largely why the devolution of this process has flown so dangerously under the radar. But make no mistake: This often incomprehensible program is the way California can most urgently address its housing shortage. And it is in danger of collapsing.
