California lawmakers this year took historic action to address what one housing economist says is the state's most serious problem:  unaffordability.

Democrats in the Legislature - and one Republican - have advanced to Gov. Jerry Brown a package of housing bills that seek to stem the bleeding.  Through a spokesperson, Brown said he supports each of the 15 bills, which provide new funding for low-income housing development, seek to lower the cost of construction, fast-track building and restrict the ability of cities and counties to block new development.

Housing experts say it is the most ambitious move the state has taken in decades - and perhaps ever - to address the issue.  They say it is "historic" in part because the state's housing affordability crisis, with rising home values, skyrocketing rents and rampant tenant displacement, is unprecedented.  As costs have grown since the recession, the state has done little until now.

But Californians should not expect the effects to be felt immediately.  Even years down the road, the measures will not stop rents from increasing or home prices from trending upwards.
