In March 2023, Gov. Gavin Newsom stood before a crowd in Sacramento’s Cal Expo event center and made a promise: He’d send 1,200 tiny homes to shelter homeless residents in the capital city and three other places throughout the state. The move was part of Newsom’s push to improve the homelessness crisis by quickly moving people out of encampments and into more stable environments. But more than a year later, none of those tiny homes have welcomed a single resident. Only about 150 have even been purchased. Irontown Modular, one of six vendors the state chose to supply the tiny homes in Sacramento, San Jose, Los Angeles and San Diego County, is “absolutely...

Wondering where the very best place is to live? According to just-released rankings from U.S. News & World Report, that honor goes to Naples, FL. Naples, with its white sandy beaches and glut of world-class golf courses, is a popular haven for retired “snowbirds” looking to escape the cold in the winter—but the lack of state income tax doesn’t hurt either. The South fared well in this year’s rankings, with locales in Texas, Alabama, and North and South Carolina taking five of the top 10 spots. Colorado’s clear air and mountain vistas claimed two top positions. What these top locations have in common is their relative affordability compared with...
