Please join us Sat. April 18 at 10 AM with author/scholar Joel Kotkin to discuss the downside of density amidst a probable recession, urban inequity and COVID-19.

 

Livable California spent April reaching legislators and sources to cut through the silence from Sacramento. We learned:

 

A 3-way battle is on between state Sen. Scott Wiener, less radical legislators and legislators who question complex housing bills with unknown consequences as we teeter on recession.

 

 We ask that you donate to Livable California, today . As we cut through the unprecedented non-transparency in Sacramento, you are our lifeline in this crucial window.

 

Joel Kotkin, called “America’s Uber-Geographer” by The New York Times, is Presidential Fellow in Urban Futures at Chapman University and executive director of Urban Reform Institute. He authored The Human City: Urbanism for the Rest of Us. His new book is The Coming of Neo-Feudalism: A Warning to the Global Middle Class.

 

Joel is fascinating and fearless and busy! He was published this month in Daily Beast, Quillette and Washington Post on the rarely reported dispersion from urban areas thanks to telecommuting and costs — and how the pandemic may speed it up.

 

We’ll end the teleconference by updating you on the real intent of state Sen. Wiener’s “Worse than SB 50” bill, SB 902. It’s a train wreck, folks. Our major CA news outlets once again failed to read the fine print.
