The Boomtown Chronicles: Reflections on a Changing California

From Rachel Anne Goodman | 00:59:02
Producers: Rachel Anne Goodman

Credit:
A documentary from the epicenter of California's housing crisis. Two versions available: 59 minute and NPR-Clock Friendly with cutaways.

A Look at the California Housing Crisis

It's no secret that the most populous state in the U.S. also has the highest housing costs. This one-hour radio documentary explores what life is like for every day people trying to make a home amidst a time of dizzying change and skyrocketing housing costs. From residents, politicians, writers, immigrants, ranchers, scholars, and soccer moms on California's Central Coast, we hear what happens to a community when few can afford to live there. How California solves its housing crisis is a harbinger for how the rest of the nation approaches that most basic of needs; a roof over one's head. The show weaves personal narratives, music, analysis, and lots of sound into a story that is part love-song to California, part snapshot of an era, and part plea for solutions. Choose from a 59 minute version with two music breaks, or a NPR-Clock friendly version with billboard, news cutaway and breaks at :20 and :40. Note: The latter downloads in segments.
