Affordable housing advocates, including local and state political leaders, gathered in North Park Tuesday morning. They say if the State’s affordable housing crisis to be addressed, it must include voter support for Proposition One in November. Speaker after speaker, literally and figuratively:  California is in a humanitarian crisis brought on by the State’s lack of affordable housing. It’s not hyperbole they say. Public health is an issue, as much as the fact that young adults can’t afford to live here and raise a family here. Assembly Member Todd Gloria told KUSI, “just think about this time last year, we were in the grips of a hepatitis A outbreak. 20 people dead., That’s a health crisis brought on by an affordable housing crisis.”
