On this edition of Your Call's Media Roundtable, we discuss the impact of the recent heavy rainfall and flooding on poor communities and unhoused people in California.
The most recent disaster has placed a spotlight on the state's deep income and racial divide, and its failure to adequately shelter and support its unhoused population.
Guests:
Nuala Bishari, columnist and editorial writer at the San Francisco Chronicle
