Billions of dollars have gone missing in California.
At the same time, housing keeps getting more expensive, fewer homes are being built, and families are getting priced out.
So what’s actually happening?
In this episode of The Greatest Story Podcast, Congressman Kevin Kiley breaks down what’s behind California’s affordability crisis and why it has become so hard to live, build, and buy a home in this state.
We talk about massive government spending failures, including unemployment fraud, homelessness funding, and high speed rail. Kevin explains what’s already been uncovered, what’s under investigation, and why accountability feels so far away.
We also dig into the real estate side of the problem.
Why California can’t build enough housing.
How regulations and fees drive up home prices before construction even starts.
What policies could help bring more homes to the market and what continues to block progress.
The conversation also covers businesses leaving California, proposed wealth taxes, redistricting, border policy, and how these decisions ripple into housing costs, rents, and everyday life.
If you live in California or are thinking about buying or selling here, this episode connects the dots between politics, policy, and the real cost of housing.
Do you think California can turn this around, or has it gone too far?
