CBPA in the News: Navigating California’s Commercial Real Estate Landscape

CBPA President & CEO Matthew Hargrove recently sat down with Jarhett Blonien of the SacTown Talks podcast to discuss hot topics in commercial real estate and politics. They covered a wide array of topics including property taxes, Prop 13, Prop 218, minimum wage, energy issues, building code, retail theft, insurance, and more.

Hargrove provided a detailed overview of key legislative propositions and the challenges and opportunities within the commercial real estate market. 

We continue our ballot initiative spotlight series with Proposition 32, the proposed minimum wage increase.

This measure would raise the state minimum wage from $16 to $18. California's minimum wage has rapidly increased over the last several years, and higher minimum wages have been established for fast food and health care workers. Another increase would further threaten the economic competitiveness of our state and drive businesses out of California.
