Oakland

Fixing the Bay Area’s Growth Politics

Evening Forum

Though residents of the Bay Area are overwhelmingly aligned on broader political issues, including environmental quality and social justice, divergences happen when we’re asked to weigh in on local issues. But the future of the region depends on finding ways to overcome our internal differences and build a better Bay Area. How can we bridge the political divide that affects policies around growth and development? Hear from our panel, then join in the discussion with your own ideas. Co-presented by Northern California APA.
