HIS Skyline College Why the Cost of Housing in California Is Expensive Questions

I WOULD LIKE TO USE THE OPPORTUNITY THAT COMES WITH THIS HISTORY 240 COURSE TO INTRODUCE YOU TO THE KQED WEBSITE KNOWN AS THE CALIFORNIA REPORT (I HOPE SOME OF YOU KNOW ABOUT IT ALREADY). THIS IS A RADIO PROGRAM THAT IS ON THE AIR FOR A FEW MINUTES IN THE MORNING AND IS A HALF HOUR PROGRAM ON FRIDAY AFTERNOON. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO LISTEN TO IT ON THE RADIO; YOU CAN USE THE WEBSITE TO BROWSE ALL KINDS OF INTERESTING AND INFORMATIVE STORIES AND PODCASTS.

WHEN YOU GO TO THE WEBSITE LINK FOR THE “CALIFORNIA REPORT” BELOW, AS YOU SCROLL DOWN YOU WILL SEE MANY RECENT ARTICLES/REPORTS ON A VARIETY OF TOPICS HAVING TO DO WITH CALIFORNIA ISSUES/EXPERIENCES.
