A recent article in the San Francisco Chronicle reported violent, and vile unlivable conditions in the city's Hotels for the unhoused. From overdoses to rat infestations. We witnessed during the early days of the pandemic, the great source of refuge the single room occupancy hotels became for the city's homeless. Are the hotels as bad as the Chronicle is reporting? Or is this hit piece perfect fodder for a crack down for a vulnerable population that is often overlooked and underfunded.   Randy Shaw Randy Shaw is the Editor of Beyond Chron and the Director of San Francisco's Tenderloin Housing Clinic, which publishes Beyond Chron.

    In the middle of an economically devastating pandemic, we're looking at Depression Era unemployment.  Those jobless numbers are also the driving factor that we are facing the possibility of 30,000,000 Americans on the street.  With no federal oversight, this could be disastrous for the United States. I got to speak with attorney, author, and homeless advocate, Randy Shaw. He spoke with me recently to discuss some of his recent articles about housing in this country.  Randy Shaw is the Director of San Francisco's Tenderloin Housing Clinic and the Editor-in-Chief of the online daily newspaper "Beyond Chron."

In this episode, we do a deep dive into what's known as "The Airbnb Effect". Though often touted as a way to "live like a local," Airbnb's near ubiquitous presence around the world often has detrimental effects for actual locals. We talk about the negative effects Airbnb has on local communities and what cities around the world are doing to mitigate these effects. But is Airbnb all bad or can it be used ethically? What alternatives to Airbnb exist? What do we do as full time travelers?

In cities across the country, skyrocketing rents and home values are forcing the young, the non-rich, and the non-white out of cities—or pricing them out before they move in—leaving urban America less diverse, less vibrant, and less fair. In his new book, “Generation Priced Out: Who Gets To Live in the New Urban America,” housing advocate Randy Shaw challenges progressive cities to reverse rising economic and racial inequality and offers specific strategies to do it. In this installment of “Leonard Lopate at Large” on WBAI, Randy Shaw expands on the themes of housing inequity that he explores in his book.

Over the past two decades, we’ve seen a modern great migration as more and more Americans move from suburban and rural America to cities. This trend cuts across all demographic groups but has been especially true for millennials and aging boomers. As a result, our great cities have experienced skyrocketing rents, displacement of the poor, gentrification and protracted conflict between NIMBY homeowners, landlords, and renters What was once a local debate has become a national story. How it plays out, is a kind of petri dish of our collectives values and how we see our communities in this first quarter of the 21st century. Randy Shaw, a longtime housing activist in San Francisco, has lived these issues. Now he delivers a broad view in Generation Priced Out: Who Gets to Live in the New Urban America. My conversation with Randy Shaw:

On this episode of XRAY In The Morning: (1 ) News With Friends, with Emily Gilliland and Colin Jones, (2) Jody Wiser of Tax Fairness Oregon joins us to discuss comprehensive tax reforms worth considering in 2019, (3) We speak with the director of the Fun House Lounge variety show, in which proceeds benefit Wilderness4Life, Then, we hear a couple classic interviews: (4) We hear back to when Jefferson Smith discussed gentrification with Randy Shaw, author of the book Generation Priced Out: Who Gets to Live in the New Urban America, (5) A throwback to when Emily Gilliland spoke with Lucy Cooke, zoologist and author of The Truth About Animals, a tell-all expose on the true nature of animals in our world.

Many real estate experts around the country warn us that trends of skyrocketing rents and home values are pricing the working and middle classes out of urban America. Randy Shaw, Director of the Tenderloin Housing Clinic, came to Town Hall’s stage with his perspective on the national housing crisis, and offered insight from his book Generation Priced Out: Who Gets to Live in the New Urban America. Shaw exposed how baby boomer homeowners restrict millennials’ access to housing in big cities and criticizes cities for advancing policies that increase economic and racial inequality. He met with Seattle journalist and Evergrey co-founder Mónica Guzmán for a conversation about the factors faced by growing urban areas across the country. Shaw asserted that neighborhood gentrification is not inevitable and presents proven measures for cities to preserve and expand their working- and middle-class populations and achieve more equitable and inclusive outcomes. Join Shaw and Guzmán for an urgent conversation about reforming the places we live and building an equitable future for urban America. Randy Shaw is the Director of the Tenderloin Housing Clinic, San Francisco’s leading provider of housing for homeless single adults. His previous books include The Activist’s Handbook: Winning Social Change in the 21st Century and The Tenderloin: Sex, Crime and Resistance in the Heart of San Francisco. Mónica Guzmán is a Seattle journalist and co-founder of The Evergrey.

Recorded live at The Summit by Town Hall Seattle on Thursday, December 6, 2018. 

Show #223 | Guest: Randy Shaw | Show Summary: The class divide in America's big city has a companion: a generational breach. Long-time housing activist and attorney Randy Shaw says that, through policy and politics, Baby Boomers have contributed to the urban housing crisis - leaving millennials out in the cold. Shaw traveled the country, visiting housing stakeholders in a dozen urban centers. He spoke with renters, homeowners, builders, politicians. His new book, Generation Priced Out: Who Gets to Live in the New Urban America, combines these interviews with policy critique and details on plans that work getting housing built. And he questions some long-standing conventional wisdom - for example, the inevitability of gentrification.
