Lower Net Migration, Housing Crisis, Fundamental Shifts in How We do Business and Live Our Lives Create Challenges in a Post-COVID World
More than 500 attendees gathered online Thursday to get an inside take on COVID-19’s impact on housing, the economy and how Southern Californians live their lives.
Part 2 of the 31st Annual Southern California Demographic Workshop, held virtually by the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) and the USC Sol Price School of Public Policy, brought together some of the region’s leading researchers, demographers and policy analysts to talk about the immediate and long-term effects of the global pandemic on the six-county region.
Among the major takeaways: Population trends, the housing crisis and fundamental shifts in the way we do business and live our lives will create significant challenges as Southern California and the state as a whole begin to recover from COVID-19.
