A year from now, what will your Monday morning look like?
After your umpteenth consecutive weekend hugging your mother, your friends and complete strangers in poorly ventilated spaces, do you picture yourself pouring coffee in your thermos to begin your bleary-eyed commute into work? Or are you about to begin your bleary-eyed all-staff on the morning Zoom?
The answers to those questions will depend on your job, your income level, your employer and, if youâre lucky enough, your preference. They will also dictate whether the next decade of Californiaâs housing affordability crisis looks radically different from the last.
The long-term implications for housing will likely benefit higher-earning workers and hurt lower-income Californians. Author: Matt Levin | CalMatters Updated: 2:12 PM PST December 22, 2020
