Rarely does a week go by when the California Housing Crisis is not brought up. This week is more of the same, as once again, more and more news is coming out regarding Bay Area residents leaving the Bay Area, citing the high cost and lack of housing available. Today on Highest and Beat, we have Steve Peterson of Infinity Investments. For the past 10 years, Steve has been one of the more involved real estate professionals in the Bay Area market. We ask him why he thinks residents are being crunched out of the Bay Area, as well as what can be done to keep them from moving. We also discuss commercial real estate, as well as his involvement in the California Association Real Estate Brokers, which seeks to provide opportunities for minority brokers and home buyers.
