To the editor<\/b>: While I do agree with contributing writer Joel Kotkin\u2019s point about the lack of affordable housing in his op-ed about Latinos and other minorities supposedly doing worse in California than in other states, everything else he cites is a red herring (\u201cHow California is failing its Latino population,\u201d<\/a> Dec. 9).<\/p>\n California can do better for everyone if we receive our tax money back from the federal government and programs that fund public radio, rural libraries, healthcare, housing and child care are reinstated. It\u2019s ironic that a study funded by a university in Texas would fault our energy prices \u2014 does anyone remember Enron<\/a>? At least here, our officials are trying to keep the minorities referenced from being unjustly deported.<\/p>\n Robert Davis, Tarzana<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Dec. 10, 2025 5:30 AM PT To the editor: While I do agree with contributing writer Joel Kotkin\u2019s…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":438006,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5123],"tags":[852,1582,276,9109,25710,7129,202489,1142,2961,11894,27382,224,5337,53592,3586,449,4369,5156,202490],"class_list":{"0":"post-438005","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-los-angeles","8":"tag-affordable-housing","9":"tag-ca","10":"tag-california","11":"tag-californians","12":"tag-child-care","13":"tag-editor","14":"tag-federal-support","15":"tag-healthcare","16":"tag-la","17":"tag-lack","18":"tag-latinos","19":"tag-los-angeles","20":"tag-losangeles","21":"tag-minority","22":"tag-op-ed","23":"tag-point","24":"tag-program","25":"tag-public-radio","26":"tag-rural-library"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115695740119024766","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/438005","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=438005"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/438005\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/438006"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=438005"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=438005"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=438005"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
