Where is the money?!

Santa Rosa CA

Description

This should come as no surprise, but landlords and renters are still waiting to get some form of financial help from the state. But, hey, we got some good news. California has more than $1 billion put aside to help renters and landlords during the pandemic. But like all politics there is the bad news. As little as 3% of that $1 billion has made its way out to the people. I don’t know what’s the bigger mystery — how landlords are paying their mortgages, or how renters are not being thrown out on the street. Why have we only received 3% of the aid? Maybe somewhere in the Sacramento Valley the $1 billion is growing on trees just ready to be plucked. Though that’s unlikely because, unfortunately, California is looking at a drought year some say could be the worst we have faced in hundreds of years. California is teetering toward a “Mad Max” apocalyptic landscape. J.L. ROBLEY Santa Rosa
