Housing abundance and public school choice increase K-12 opportunity in California
- May 2, 2024
Housing prices in California have plagued residents for years. The state houses four out of the top five counties in the United States with the most expensive median home prices, and if more supply isn’t built to meet the demand, these rates will be here to stay.
Adults aren’t the only ones impacted by the housing crisis. High housing prices harm students desperate for access to high-quality public education. This link presents an opportunity for proponents of housing abundance, education choice advocates, and California policymakers to work together to keep the California Dream alive.
Many assume public education is free and open to all, but residential assignment, a policy most states have on the books, mandates that a student’s home address determines which traditional public school they attend, obscuring the real cost of high-quality public education. If a family wants to send their child to a public school in Santa Clara County or San Mateo County, they can do so without being charged a direct payment by the school. But they would have to live in a school district, where the median price of a house likely totals over a million and a half dollars — larger than any tuition cost a school could reasonably charge.
Open enrollment could provide a solution. Currently, California allows families to transfer to other schools in their assigned district but limits their options if they want to send their students to a neighboring school district. Indeed California’s “District of Choice” program all too often empowers school districts in the state — not parents — when determining whether a student can attend a school in their district.
State lawmakers should rewrite the program, allowing any Californian student, no matter where they live, to attend a public school that works best for them, provided that room is available. Still, expanding public school choice alone overlooks a fundamental part of how families choose schools. Academic research and EdChoice Morning Consult polling suggest that “location” is the primary reason parents enroll their children in their respective school type, beating out other considerations, including a safe environment, academic quality and affordability by over twenty points.
Nevertheless, high housing prices prevent many Americans, particularly in California, from moving into a desired location or neighborhood with better public schools. For example, the Senate Joint Economic Committee found a zip code “with the highest quality (A+) public elementary school has a fourfold ($486,104) higher median home price than the average neighborhood associated with the lowest quality (D or less) public elementary schools ($122,061).” Yet in cities like Houston where lower zoning barriers make building housing easier, the gap in price to attend a high-quality public school is significantly cheaper compared to cities with restrictive zoning laws, such as San Francisco.
In short, the less restrictive the zoning, the lower the housing cost gap and the school test score gap.

California policymakers at the state and local levels could improve their communities’ education systems by reducing regulations and barriers like restrictive zoning that stifle more housing from being built, especially around high-performing schools. This would empower families by giving them more options concerning where they choose to live and where they send their child to school. It could even reduce school transportation times, lowering C02 emissions.
More housing availability combined with more public school options would improve families’ and even teachers’ abilities to match their education preferences with their neighborhood preferences. Undoubtedly, the challenges policymakers and advocates face in building a system of housing abundance and high-quality education opportunities are not small. Still, policymakers in the bellwether state of California should pursue the idea of creating more schooling communities based on voluntary buy-in instead of force, providing an example of how other states can empower future generations of Americans with a stronger opportunity to reach their full potential.

Sen. Anthony Portantino’s ridiculous pay-for-strikes bill makes a return
- May 2, 2024
Sacramento politicians need to get real. Sen. Anthony Portantino, D-Glendale, has once again brought back for consideration legislation that would pay out unemployment benefits for striking workers. In addition to being a terrible idea, as a piece of legislation it is an absolute waste of time and effort.
This time introduced as Senate Bill 1116, this bill is identical to Senate Bill 799, which was vetoed by Gov. Gavin Newsom last year.
Newsom explained quite clearly from the state’s perspective why extending unemployment benefits to striking workers is an impractical idea: “Any expansion of eligibility for UI benefits could increase California’s outstanding federal UI debt projected to be nearly $20 billion by the end of the year and could jeopardize California’s Benefit Cost Ratio add-on waiver application, significantly increasing taxes on employers. Furthermore, the state is responsible for the interest payments on the federal UI loan and to date has paid $362.7 million in interest with another $302 million due this month. Now is not the time to increase costs or incur this sizable debt.”
Simply put, the state’s unemployment insurance system is already in the hole, already under strain.
The system is intended to help workers who have been put out of work maintain some stability while they find work. It is not intended to aid workers who have intentionally chosen not to work.
As business groups have also pointed out, “SB 1116 would change incentives around striking. Though striking workers presently may access union strike funds and other resources, SB 1116 would add a new pool of income — unemployment insurance — and thereby change the financial calculus around a strike.”
Local government groups like the California State Association of Counties point out that this can have practical implications for governments, and by extension taxpayers. After all, public-sector unions already have considerable power in the state. Imagine what would happen if government employee unions suddenly know they can drag out labor fights even longer?

As the local government groups note, “this measure will further erode good faith negotiations at the bargaining table for local government and schools employers … if SB 1116 were to become law, we anticipate longer lengths of impasse, higher costs associated with protracted Public Employee Relations Board proceedings and a decline in quality of public services.”
But none of these practical considerations are of concern to Sen. Portantino or his Democratic colleagues. Only Sen. Scott Wilk, R-Santa Clarita, opposed it in the state Senate’s Labor, Public Employment and Retirement Committee.
The only bright spots are that Newsom will probably veto the bill again, because nothing has changed as far as the poor state of the unemployment insurance system. The other bright spot is that Californians will soon be free of Sen. Portantino’s awful ideas, as he was decisively rejected in his bid to succeed Rep. Adam Schiff in the House of Representatives in March.
Even so, it’s clear there aren’t many adults up in Sacramento who are able to prioritize serious problems and come up with actual solutions.

Journalism is not a crime, even when it offends the government
- May 2, 2024
WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has been imprisoned in London for five years, while Texas journalist Priscilla Villarreal was only briefly detained at the Webb County Jail. But both were arrested for publishing information that government officials wanted to conceal.
Assange and Villarreal argue that criminalizing such conduct violates the First Amendment. In both cases, the merits of that claim have been obscured by the constitutionally irrelevant question of who qualifies as a “real” journalist.
Assange, an Australian citizen, is fighting extradition to the United States based on a federal indictment that charges him with violating the Espionage Act by obtaining and publishing classified documents that former U.S. Army intelligence analyst Chelsea Manning leaked in 2010. He has already spent about as much time behind bars as federal prosecutors say he would be likely to serve if convicted.
President Joe Biden says he is “considering” the Australian government’s request to drop the case against Assange. But mollifying a U.S. ally is not the only reason to reconsider this prosecution, which poses a grave threat to freedom of the press by treating common journalistic practices as crimes.
All but one of the 17 charges against Assange relate to obtaining or disclosing “national defense information,” which is punishable by up to 10 years in prison. Yet all the news organizations that published stories based on the confidential State Department cables and military files that Manning leaked are guilty of the same crimes.
More generally, obtaining and publishing classified information is the bread and butter of reporters who cover national security. John Demers, then head of the Justice Department’s National Security Division, implicitly acknowledged that reality in 2019, when he assured reporters they needn’t worry about the precedent set by this case because Assange is “no journalist.”
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit took a similarly dim view of Villarreal in January, when it dismissed her lawsuit against the Laredo prosecutors and police officers who engineered her 2017 arrest. They claimed she had violated Section 39.06(c) of the Texas Penal Code, an obscure law that makes it a felony to solicit or obtain nonpublic information from a government official with “intent to obtain a benefit.”
The cops said Villarreal committed that crime by asking Laredo police officer Barbara Goodman to confirm information about a public suicide and a fatal car crash. As interpreted by the Laredo Police Department, Section 39.06(c) sweeps even more broadly than the Espionage Act, making a felon out of any reporter who seeks information that is deemed exempt from disclosure under the Texas Public Information Act.
Gliding over the alarming implications of making it a crime for reporters to ask questions, the 5th Circuit dismissed the idea that Villarreal is “a martyr for the sake of journalism.” The majority opinion by Judge Edith Jones dripped with contempt for Villarreal, an independent, uncredentialed journalist who posts her unfiltered reports on Facebook instead of publishing vetted and edited stories in a “mainstream, legitimate” news outlet.

Seemingly oblivious to what quotidian news reporting across the country entails, Jones faulted Villarreal for relying on a “backchannel source” and for “capitaliz[ing] on others’ tragedies to propel her reputation and career.” But like the judgment that Assange is “no journalist,” such criticism fundamentally misconstrues freedom of the press, which applies to anyone who engages in mass communication.
The 5th Circuit’s decision provoked four dissents authored or joined by seven judges, and it is not hard to see why. “If the First Amendment means anything,” Judge James C. Ho wrote, “surely it means that citizens have the right to question or criticize public officials without fear of imprisonment.”
In a petition it filed on Villarreal’s behalf last week, the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression urges the U.S. Supreme Court to vindicate that right. “Villarreal went to jail for basic journalism,” it notes. “Whatever one may make of Villarreal’s journalistic ethics, they are of no constitutional significance.”

Top 5 storylines for the CIF-SS Division 1 swimming championships

Top 5 storylines to watch at the CIF-SS Division 1 swimming championships, which begin with prelims Thursday at Mt. SAC at 9 a.m. and conclude with finals on Saturday at noon:
RELATED: Updated top O.C. swimming times entering Division 1 prelims
Will Teagan O’Dell of Santa Margarita set any records? The Cal committed junior is racing the 200-yard individual medley — the event that she holds the national high school record in with a 1:53.38. But remember, it’s an Olympic year. Chances are that O’Dell isn’t resting much this high school season because she is headed to the Olympic Trials.
Expect her to still be fast in the IM and rise from her No. 8 seed in the 100 butterfly.
She’ll have to sizzle to challenge Katie McLaughlin’s O.C. record in the butterfly of 51.53.
Will Santa Margarita’s boys duel with Loyola again? The Eagles and Cubs have the best team rivalry in Division 1 and could square off again for the title. Santa Margarita has won the last three championships, including two by three points or less against Loyola. But watch out for Northwood to compete for a top-two finish.
Santa Margarita’s girls are aiming for a 10th consecutive title.
Does Northwood’s Andrew Maksymowski deliver a breakout meet? The sophomore is an emerging standout on the SoCal scene and could raise his profile by sweeping the 200 and 500 freestyles in fast times.
How low can Jacob Wang of Woodbridge and Daniel Verdolaga of Santa Margarita go? Wang is the top seed in the 50 free with a 20.35, which ties him for eighth all-time in county history. Only one county swimmer has ever broken 20 seconds — Olympian Michael Cavic in 2002 — but perhaps Wang drops time to make things exciting.
The Army-bound Verdolaga is about four-tenths of a second off the county record in the 100 butterfly.
What new stars will emerge? Fountain Valley has a pair of highly-seeded younger swimmers who could emerge as county standouts. Freshman Alyssa Ton is seeded first in the 200 free and appears headed toward a showdown with Woodbridge’s Zara Masud and Riverside Poly’s Ava De Anda.
Fountain Valley sophomore Peter Vu is second in the boys breaststroke. He could race next to San Marino star and Stanford commit Daniel Li in the finals Saturday so it will be interesting to see how he responds.
But another swimmer to watch is Santa Margarita junior Gracyn Aquino. While O’Dell draws the spotlight, Aquino will duel with De Anda in a 100 free that might produce the race of the meet.

Swanson: Clippers in trouble entering Game 6 vs. Mavericks
- May 2, 2024
LOS ANGELES — There’s blood in the water, and Luka Doncic and his gang of sharks can smell it.
That isn’t to say that the fourth-seeded Clippers – who drowned in a big moment on Wednesday night, falling behind 3-2 in their first-round playoff series against the fifth-seeded Dallas Mavericks after no-showing in a 123-93 Game 5 loss – can’t snatch victory from the jaws of defeat.
They could. They’re capable of extending the series to a seventh game, of giving themselves at least one more game at Crypto.com Arena before the big move to the Intuit Dome in Inglewood.
And, who knows, maybe the dangerous proposition of it being one and done will get the Clippers swimming with some actual urgency?
But also, maybe not.
In this series, there’s one team you can count on to be up for a fight, and there’s one you can’t count on for anything.
The Mavericks are the former, having twice rallied from substantial deficits to make games they ultimately lost real interesting.
They were down by 29 points in Game 1 in L.A., but they were game to keep whittling, getting the deficit down to 10. And on Sunday in Dallas, they fell behind by 31 points and came all the way back, taking the lead in the fourth quarter before James Harden and Paul George were able to out-duel Kyrie Irving down the stretch to win the game, 116-111, and square the series, 2-2.
The Clippers, meanwhile, when they’ve fallen behind, have fallen off, unable or unwilling to muster similar effort against a snarling, jawing Mavericks team that’s very much on the hunt. A team that’s on the verge now of beating the Clippers for the first time in three first-round meetings in Doncic’s otherwise decorated Dallas tenure.
The Clippers’ 11-point loss in Game 3 wasn’t as close as the score indicated and, from the second quarter on, never in question. And then there was Wednesday’s forgettable 30-point loss, the largest final deficit in Clippers’ postseason history.
The Mavericks also handed the Clippers their largest loss in franchise history when they beat them by 51 points late in 2020, but the stakes were so much lower in that early-season game, two days after Christmas, than they were on Wednesday. The Clippers could have secured the inside track for a second-round playoff berth, but instead they sent their fans streaming for the exits with six minutes to play.
More than a few of those folks were leaving a game early for the first time, but they were so disgusted they preferred to pack up rather than stick around for what devolved into a stay-ready game between backups.
Not that home-court advantage matters for much when these teams tussle; the host team is 3-9 in their past 12 playoff games against each other, dating to their seven-game series in 2021 – an experience that was on the Clippers’ minds after Wednesday’s debacle.
Coach Tyronn Lue mentioned it, as did George and Ivica Zubac, who said, “We’ve been here before. A few years ago we were down 3-2 going to Dallas. Won Game 6. Went back home and won Game 7. So, we’ve been here before. We know what we gotta do.”
Sure. All they need is for someone to go off for 45 points, maybe make 18 of his 25 shot attempts, including 5 for 9 from 3-point range. Have someone else chip in with 25 points on 8-of-15 shooting. That was all it took for the Clippers to win Game 6 and force Game 7 in 2021.
There’s a problem, though. Kawhi Leonard – out indefinitely with right knee inflammation – doesn’t figure to be available for a 45-point encore Friday in Dallas. And Reggie Jackson, who delivered one of his classic Mr. June performances with those 25 points that night, now plays for the Denver Nuggets.
That leaves it up to George and James Harden, who scored 33 points apiece in Sunday’s win but combined for a paltry 22 on Wednesday.
With history as our guide, we knew Harden was due for a stinker, and he delivered, with just seven points on 2-of-12 shooting, including 1-for-7 from deep. George reverted to the complacent version of himself, finishing with 15 points on 4-for-13 shooting.

Swanson: James Harden keeps Clippers afloat against Mavericks
We don’t know how Harden will approach Friday’s must-win affair because he left Wednesday without talking to reporters. George, though, was characteristically philosophical postgame – and not the noticeably Peeved P he was during and after Sunday’s game. He said Wednesday he won’t expect to feel pressure going into Game 6: “If you fail you fail, but you just give it all you have and live with the results.”
The key then will be in the giving it all he has – which has to be more than he gave Wednesday.
“Tonight we were just slow,” said Zubac, the Clippers’ 7-foot center who started strong and finished with 15 points, making seven of his eight shots (all but one of which came before halftime). “I don’t think it was fatigue. Or anything they did. We weren’t ready for this game.
“You gotta come out and compete. Losing by 30 is not good.”
But maybe it’ll be a good wake-up call? Or maybe it’ll be a good game to flush from their memories?
Just as likely, it will go down as a good sign of what was to come from a Mavericks team that’s circling, hungry and ready, this time, to go in for the kill.

Santa Margarita too strong for Wilson in boys volleyball Division 2 quarterfinals
- May 2, 2024

RANCHO SANTA MARGARITA — The Santa Margarita boys volleyball team showed its depth in a 25-23, 25-21, 26-24 win over Long Beach Wilson in the quarterfinals of the CIF-SS Division 2 playoffs Wednesday at Santa Margarita High.
Santa Margarita (19-3) will play Trinity League foe Servite in the semifinals on Saturday at Servite.
Santa Margarita has not won a CIF boys volleyball championship since 2001 and has not appeared in a CIF championship game since 2011.
The match Wednesday will go down in history as a 3-0 sweep for Santa Margarita, but the match was much closer than the score indicated.
Wilson (27-8) led in every set and made things difficult for the Eagles.
“The result does not really reflect the quality of volleyball on the court, they are a good team,” Santa Margarita coach Sinan Tanik said. “We studied them well, our guys took their assignments seriously and we were pretty much on spot with what we needed to do.”
Wilson was the Moore League champion this season and beat St. Francis in the first round. The Bruins most recently won a CIF championship in 2021 when they beat St. Francis for the Division 3 championship.
“I’m extremely proud. Everything that we accomplished, we had to work for,” Wilson coach Christopher Ceballos said. “It helped that our blockers got touches on the ball every now and then. We just couldn’t get our offense going but everything else was pretty intact.”
Santa Margarita got a great game from its star outside hitter Ethan Saint. The UC Santa Barbara signee had a game-high 18 kills and added two blocks and an ace.
Freshman setter Chase Wallin was crucial for Saint’s success with 34 assists. He did a good job spreading the ball around to keep the Wilson defense from zoning in on Saint.
“Chase is doing a great job running the show and all of his teammates are supporting him,” Tanik said. “Ethan is obviously our captain, leader, best scorer and whatever title goes along with that. He can handle a heavy load but this is a 14-guy crew and whoever I sent in did their job perfectly. That was the key to our win.”
Ceballos praised Wallin and the Eagles offense.
“Their setter kept us off-balanced and moved the ball really well,” Ceballos said. “Even when we got big swings they were able to get some quality digs and make us really earn our points.”
Brooks Ignosci had 16 kills for the Eagles and eight different players scored. Libero Blake Herman had 11 digs and Wallin added 9.
Ohio State signee Ian Nolte led Wilson with 18 kills, nine of them in the third set. Will Morrison had 13 kills and Shayne Galura had 24 assists.
The Eagles beat Servite in five sets on March 22 and swept the Friars on April 15.
“Servite is always a tough opponent,” Tanik said. “We beat them twice in league but we never take them lightly. I know the quality of their players and coaching staff and we respect them greatly. At this stage, everyone is tough and getting sharper and sharper.”
