San Francisco LGBQT Center<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1800 Market St. (nr. Laguna)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SF<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why SB50 et al will not get us Affordable Housing. The new trickle-down housing economics: Build for the richest 30% and cross your fingers for everyone else. 

Presenter: Michael Storper, UCLA professor of economic geography, will discuss his new study on the issue, and the future of the Wiener\/Yimby agenda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Storper is one of the most important academics challenging the notion \u2013 which oddly has become accepted dogma in the mainstream media and even places like The Nation\u2013 that more private-sector development will solve the urban housing crisis. 

He suggests that: Policies such as blanket upzoning, which will principally unleash market forces that serve high income earners, are therefore likely to reinforce the effects of income inequality rather than tempering them \u2026 There is virtually no evidence that substantially lower costs would trickle down to the lower two-thirds of households or provide quality upgrading of their neighbourhoods, but it undoubtedly would enhance displacement in neighbourhoods currently at the boundary of higher-income inner metropolitan areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FAMILY WANTS ANSWERS IN CASE OF MISSING TEEN 

The family of Jonathan Bandabaila turns to community for help after feeling failed by the city.

On May 3rd, 2019, Jonathan Bandabaila, 19, went missing. He was last seen leaving his home in the Fruitvale District where he lives with his parents. The family filed police reports and contacted members of the Oakland City Council – as well as mainstream media – only to be met with silence and confusing\/conflicting responses from law enforcement. In desperation to find Jonathan, the Bandabaila family has turned to community for support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTo date, my family doesn’t feel as though we have received the level of attention and urgency this case deserves,\u201d said Harrison Bandabaila, Jonathan\u2019s older brother. \u201cWe are glad that following a meeting last week – that only came about because we went with community support to City Council – that things appear to be moving now – but it\u2019s three weeks late. Three weeks is a long time for a missing person. That is time we can never recover.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jonathan\u2019s 1998 Honda Accord was found on the San Mateo Bridge on May 4th but this fact has not gotten the family any closer to knowing what happened to him. Police speculated suicide but found no evidence of that in early investigations and it seems as if there was a rush to judgment just to close the case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sergio came to the U.S. over 15 years ago from El Salvador. He settled in the Bay Area and worked tirelessly to financially support his parents and younger siblings who he left behind.

On December 3rd, 2018, Sergio was arrested for a misdemeanor charge and posted a $1,500 bail in order to maintain his employment and continue to support, care, and provide for his family. However, Sergio was turned over to ICE by the San Mateo County Sheriff due to his previous record and has been detained in Mesa Verde Immigration Detention Facility in Bakersfield since December 4th, 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sergio is far away from his fianc\u00e9e and three young children. It has been five months since he last saw his family. Sergio, his fiancee and attorney have been working diligently in gathering evidence and documentation to prevent his deportation to El Salvador.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
