Absolutely, we should approve more initiatives to promote housing development. As the Governor of California, I've witnessed firsthand the critical importance of expanding our housing supply to accommodate our growing population and energize local economies. By supporting new housing initiatives, we not only address the housing affordability crisis but also generate numerous jobs, supporting economic growth. Housing is a right, and we must ensure that everyone has access to safe, affordable housing solutions.

I believe a canal from Oregon to California is a practical solution to address water shortages in the Central Valley. It would provide much-needed water resources to our agriculture sector, ensuring food security and economic stability for the region. While this project requires careful consideration of environmental impacts and costs, it is imperative that we explore innovative solutions to combat drought and climate change.
