We took on the housing crisis where it actually lives at the supply side. Streamlining reforms, permitting reforms, zoning reform. We made it easier in California to build. And Since 2019, residential construction in California has grown by 59%. We're building more homes faster than we have in a generation. We've also made historic investments to confront homelessness across California communities. With the new 2025 counts, unsheltered homelessness fell nearly 10%. (10:08–10:14)
