Watch: 48 Hills’ Tim Redmond talks Engardio recall, ‘family zoning plan’ on Doomloop Dispatch

Our editor appeared on the podcast to delve into the roots of the housing crisis and discuss how to fight another tech takeover.

I had a great time this week appearing with Kevin Jones and D. Scot Miller on The Doomloop Dispatch podcast. We talked about the history of development in this city and why, for decades starting in the 1960s, people fought against the Manhattanization of San Francisco. A lot of that history is very relevant right now (particularly the fact that the progressives fought for more housing and the pro-development faction refused to do anything that would undermine the profits of office developers). We kicked off with the reasons behind the Engardio recall and went from there. Great questions, great discussion.
