Governor Gavin Newsom is set to deliver his State of the State Address one year into the pandemic; we preview what to expect Tuesday night. Housing also continues to be a key issue in California, and the market only got hotter during the pandemic. Some cities, including Sacramento, are looking to end single-family exclusive zoning in an effort to open up more housing options; we’ll hear from a couple of CapRadio reporters and their sources about the highly controversial issue.

Plus, we discuss concerns over displacement and gentrification as the Aggie Square development project moves forward in Sacramento and how expanding access to credit could shrink the homeownership racial gap.
