The SAN FRANCISCO HOUSING CRISIS: Finally—An Open Debate!

A free public forum sponsored by
Progressive Democrats of America (PDA) – San Francisco

Two propositions on San Francisco’s November ballot are the focus of heated controversy about the causes of the city’s current housing crisis. At the PDA September Forum, leading community activists will present the case for and against Proposition F, the City of San Francisco Initiative on Short-Term Residential Rentals (sometimes called the “Airbnb Initiative”) and Proposition I, the City of San Francisco Mission District Housing Moratorium Initiative.

This program offers an opportunity to learn more about these propositions and hear contrasting points of view about how they would affect the cost and availability of housing. Instead of sniping at each other from antagonistic websites, the two sides of each issue will finally get to argue their positions face-to-face.

Following the formal debate, the program will be open to questions from the audience.

Panelists:
For Proposition F: Dale A. Carlson
Against Proposition F: Keith Freedman
For Proposition I: Christina Olague
Against Proposition I: PANELIST to be ANNOUNCED1
