Podcast appearances and mentions of maya rosas

Maya Rosas is director of policy at the advocacy organization Circulate San Diego. In this episode, Maya discusses how Circulate successfully made the case for converting transit station parking lots into new housing. Last year, the momentum continued, with the San Diego city government reducing parking requirements near frequent transit stops. Maya shares her advocacy tactics and describes how Circulate uses research to cultivate relationships with decision makers and change public policy.“When we’re advocating for something, we’re not doing it for the prestige of us being able to claim a win, but because we want to see that change happen...and embrace the decision-makers, whether it be MTS or City Council.” - Maya RosasFor more information on the "Real Opportunity" report, click here.To learn more about TransitCenter's event program, click here.You can read about latest developments on a downtown San Diego project here.Music: “Comma” - Blue Dot SessionsHosted by Kapish SinglaProduced by TransitCenter

NIMBY? YIMBY? PHIMBY? Oh my! On this episode of Show In Progress with Matt Strabone, Matt hosts a forum of sorts to break down the housing debate in San Diego once and for all. He’s joined first by Jim LaMattery, a realtor and the spokesperson for anti-development group Raise the Balloon, who argues that San Diego should pump the brakes on changes that would make it easier to change zoning rules and build denser housing. Next is Maya Rosas, president of the YIMBY Democrats of San Diego County, who advocates for as much new housing to be built as possible in order to alleviate San Diego’s housing shortage. Finally, Andy Kopp, a public housing advocate, takes the position that the private sector alone can’t be relied upon to solve the housing crisis. The episode ends with a joke you’ll want to avoid if you can’t handle dairy.
