Expanding Housing for the Working and Middle Class

Published: Nov. 9, 2018, 9:32 p.m.

In this 16th episode of the Holistic Housing Show, your venerable hosts are joined by Randy Shaw, Founder and Executive Director of San Francisco’s Tenderloin Housing Clinic and author of the just-published “Generation Priced Out: Who Gets to Live in the New Urban America.” Randy, long an advocate for tenants’ rights, and whose personal, unofficial campaign slogan is “Legalize apartments!” offers a blueprint for what cities can, and should, do to make cities more livable for working Americans, including overcoming NIMBYism, restrictive zoning and generational divides that lead to a lack of housing. Also, learn the answer to, why the heck is it called the “Tenderloin District?” And, in this special election week episode, find out which NACCED member won her city council race (oh yeah!) and what movie taglines Laura, Sarah and Heather can claim as their life’s theme (and you can, too!).
