Good morning.

(Here’s the sign-up, if you don’t already get California Today by email.)

A couple of days after Los Angeles officials announced that the region’s population of people without homes had grown, newly released data reflects that housing continues to be a top source of anxiety for Californians across the state.

More than half of adults polled by the Public Policy Institute of California last month said their housing costs caused a financial strain. The highest percentage, 58 percent, was in the Orange County and San Diego area.

“There’s this very pervasive sense that something’s broken when it comes to housing and homelessness,” Mark Baldassare, the institute’s president and chief executive, told me.

And he said he expected the frustration to have an effect not just on the Legislature and governor, but also on House races and the presidential primaries.
