Randy Shaw on his book Generation Priced Out: Who Gets To Live in the New Urban America (3/21/19)
In cities across the country, skyrocketing rents and home values are forcing the young, the non-rich, and the non-white out of cities—or pricing them out before they move in—leaving urban America less diverse, less vibrant, and less fair. In his new book, “Generation Priced Out: Who Gets To Live in the New Urban America,” housing advocate Randy Shaw challenges progressive cities to reverse rising economic and racial inequality and offers specific strategies to do it. In this installment of “Leonard Lopate at Large” on WBAI, Randy Shaw expands on the themes of housing inequity that he explores in his book.
