Gain more knowledge about the San Francisco housing crisis from local political and investigative reporter, Tim Redmond.
Per Redmond: The Yimby narrative is wrong: The affordability crisis is not the result of constraints on market-rate developers. Its roots are in decades of increasing economic inequality—and the solution is not to find ways to boost developer profits but to tax the rich. This session will discuss how the top one percent took all the economic gains of the past 40 years, how national—and state and local—policy allowed that to happen, and what we can do about it right here at home.
About the presenter: Tim Redmond has been a political and investigative reporter in San Francisco for more than 40 years, much of that with the Bay Guardian. He is the founder and editor of 48hills, SF's progressive digital daily newspaper. He teaches journalism and public policy at the University of San Francisco.
