#RegulatoryCapture: instead of using a settlement to #electrify homes impacted by a massive #gasleak, SoCalGas will get a break, the CEC will extend the license to operate turbines whose #EnvironmentalJustice health impacts are in #lowincome #communities, and everyone will wait for Federal Inflation Reduction Act to replace methane appliances.

The San Francisco #PublicBank would be tapped to finance construction of #lowincome #housing, fund initiatives to combat #climatechange, and support small businesses. It would provide low-interest financing and #investment in #projects with #social benefit where traditional banks have fallen short.

"The primary reason people become unhoused in California is unaffordable housing, including due to loss of income, according to a study released Tuesday. Around a third of the United States’ unhoused population—some 170,000 people—lives in the state."

by #MichaelCasey & #RJRico in #AssociatedPress:
"After a lull during the pandemic, eviction filings by landlords have come roaring back, driven by rising rents and a long-running shortage of affordable housing. Most low-income tenants can no longer count on pandemic resources that had kept them housed, and many are finding it hard to recover because they haven’t found steady work or their wages haven’t kept pace with the rising cost of rent, food and other necessities."

Holy shit: "Of the 6,866 [tested Californian child-care] facilities … 1,690 locations tested above the state’s threshold" of #lead in #tap water. We have 2023!
"many of the facilities with alarming amounts of lead are in #lowincome areas or communities of color"
The Californian(!) law "required remediation only if the water contained more than the federal standard", which is 3x the CA value, and "health experts have long said is unsafe."
