In Part 1, we get to know Tenderloin Museum's executive director, Katie Conry. She's originally from Oceanside, California, just outside of LA, where her parents are from. They were both teachers but were priced out of the big city, a situation all too familiar around here. Katie left home as soon as she could—when she was 18 and it was time to go to college. She had felt lonely and alienated in her hometown. But almost from the moment she arrived in Berkeley, she loved it and felt connected. In the 20-plus years since, she hasn't left the Bay Area. She moved across the Bay to San Francisco after graduation in the mid-2000s, settling in the Mission, the neighborhood she's lived in ever since. Katie and Jeff reminisce about several Mission spots they both frequented around that time. In the early 2010s, Katie got a job at Adobe Books, helping the bookstore raise money to make the move from 16th Street to its current spot on 24th Street. In that fundraising process, the store was turned into a co-op and its art gallery a non-profit. This experience is how Katie started in events and working with artists. She later worked part-time at museums like the California Academy of Sciences, the Contemporary Jewish Museum, and The Exploratorium, working on private events for those institutions. Katie was originally hired at the Tenderloin Museum as their program manager when the museum opened in 2015. The next year, she became its executive director (Alex Spoto does a lot of public programming now). From here, we dive into the history of TLM. It was the brainchild of journalist and activist Randy Shaw, who was inspired by what he saw at New York City's Tenement Museum. The non-profit that runs TLM was formed in 2009 and they opened their museum doors to the public in 2015. The permanent collection in their gallery spotlights stories of working-class resistance movements and marginalized communities. The museum was successful early, largely because of its public programming. They sponsored showings of the film Drugs in the Tenderloin (1967), which turned out to be very popular. From here, our discussion pivots to the history of the Tenderloin itself. Katie shares that it (not the Castro) was the first gay hood in San Francisco. It was a high-density neighborhood filled with affordable housing, a liminal space in an urban setting. Then we hear the story of the neighborhood after the 1906 earthquake, which destroyed just about everything except the Hibernia Bank building. The Tenderloin was rebuilt quickly, though. The Cadillac Hotel, where the museum is located today, opened in 1908 and was meant to house folks who were working to rebuild The City. The single room occupancies (SROs) left people hungry for entertainment, of which there was soon plenty. Women were living on their own in the Tenderloin, and in response, moral crusaders came after them. These high-and-mighty types had successfully shut down the sex-worker presence in San Francisco's Barbary Coast in 1913, forcing members of that industry to the Tenderloin. And so, perhaps naturally, those same crusaders came after sex-industry women in the Tenderloin. The first sex-worker protest in the US happened in the TL after Reggie Gamble stormed a church and gave an impromptu speech. But it wasn't enough. Those same self-righteous white men effectively shut down the Tenderloin in 1917, an occasion for which TLM did a centennial celebration in 2017. Check back next week for more Tenderloin History in Part 2 of this episode. We recorded this podcast at the Tenderloin Museum in November 2023. Photography by Jeff Hunt

An open-air drug market is thriving San Francisco's Tenderloin neighborhood. We explore what's behind it. Randy Shaw, Leighton Woodhouse and Sam Quinones join Meghna Chakrabarti.
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.

Before the economic shock of the COVID pandemic, homelessness and affordable housing was becoming a major issue in many blue cities and states across the country. With the eviction moratorium lifted, what protections do poor and working-class people have to stave off homelessness in gentrifying cities? A recent U.S Census Bureau HouseHold Pulse survey is estimating we could have 4.3 million Americans evicted and foreclosed on. Will the Biden ``Build Back Better” infrastructure bill be enough to try to curb this potential homelessness crisis?

January is National Slavery and Human Trafficking Prevention Month. In this episode, Randy Shaw interviews two KeHE Cares partners who are on the frontlines in this war: Chris Baker with INK180 and Simone Halpin from Naomi's House. It is estimated that more than 40 million women and children worldwide are currently enslaved as sex workers—an issue not just around the world, but in our own communities as well. Awareness is one of the first steps in freeing people from this horrible exploitation.
Randy Shaw is the co-founder of the Tenderloin Housing Clinic, author of five books, and has been one of the Bay Area's leading community organizers on tenants' rights, housing, and homelessness for the past 40 years.

In this episode, Wayne and Randy explore the roots of the Bay Area's--and the nation's--housing crisis. They look into past ballot measures, California politics, policies, and voting behaviors that have shaped our current housing predicament. They talk about taxation, Joe Biden's housing plan, Obama's political failures, the power of grassroots local activism, and what ordinary people can do to create change. Randy also answers the key question: how can we end homelessness in the U.S., for good? “Don't be distracted by all the noise.” “We need to keep people connected to the issues and fighting AFTER the election.” The Tenderloin Housing Clinic in San Francisco Randy's Book – Beyond the Fields: Cesar Chavez, the UFW, and the Struggle for Justice in the 21st Century Randy's Book – The Tenderloin: Sex, Crime and Resistance in the Heart of San Francisco Randy's new Book – Generation Priced Out Randy's Book – The Activist Handbook Music by Moby: Everything That Rises

In the middle of an economically devastating pandemic, we're looking at Depression Era unemployment.

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?

Those in the “Yes in My Backyard” or YIMBY movement have a simple goal: increase the supply of housing in cities across the US, and sky-high prices should come down. But they face a growing backlash from neighborhood activists fearful of gentrification and displacement. In California, a bill to fast-track more height and density near transit stations was derailed, even with a provision to require affordable homes through inclusionary housing, a land value capture mechanism. In this episode, Randy Shaw, a San Francisco-based tenants advocate and author of “Generation Priced Out: Who Gets to Live in Urban America,” talks about the multi-pronged efforts needed to confront the affordable housing crisis in cities nationwide. For further reading, see Backyard Brouhaha in Land Lines magazine.
Randy Shaw, executive director of the Tenderloin Housing Clinic, is a long-time housing activist in the Bay Area and author of the book, "Generation Priced Out." He shares his views about the controversial housing measure SB 50, gentrification, the tech boom, rent control, and the consequences of 30 years of failing to build enough housing in California.
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.
Suzi talks to DSAers Jeremy Gong and Magally Miranda Alcazar about the larger issues they are confronting after two years of Trump, a midterm election that saw radical democratic socialists elected to Congress, and the beginning of a second Bernie Sanders campaign for president. How do they see the challenges ahead, in a more favorable national context for Democratic Socialists, thanks to Bernie, AOC, #Red4Ed striking teachers, and the Trump administration’s retrograde policies? Can the Left take over the Democratic Party and should that be their aim? Or should the social-movement work of DSA, independent of the Dems, be their focus? How do they define socialism, and what should socialists do given the structures of our politics and economy? Then, Suzi talks to Randy Shaw about his new book, Generation Priced Out — which is a call to action that addresses the national crisis of housing, city by city, looking at how policy and neglect, as well as economic crisis, has led to skyrocketing rents and home values that have priced out the working and middle class of urban America such that young people today join the exodus from the city or face homelessness because they cannot afford to live in our cities. Generation Priced Out not only tells the stories of those impacted by the national housing crisis in more than a dozen cities, he makes the argument that cities can and must address the housing needs of residents of all income levels — and he offers specific strategies, honed from his own decades of experience as a housing activist to reverse rising economic and racial inequality.

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.

In major cities across the country, skyrocketing rents and housing prices have pushed out workers and everyday people who are no longer able to afford the cost of living. In Los Angeles, this has led to a spike in homelessness and the increased precarity that comes from living on the streets. Since 2017, at least 1200 homeless people in LA have died, many from treatable illnesses like cardiovascular disease, pneumonia, and diabetes. What are some of the causes and solutions to this housing crisis? On today’s episode we speak to Randy Shaw about his new book Generation Priced Out. In this book, Randy poses the question: “who gets to live in the new urban America?

In this 16th episode of the Holistic Housing Show, your venerable hosts are joined by Randy Shaw, Founder and Executive Director of San Francisco's Tenderloin Housing Clinic and author of the just-published “Generation Priced Out: Who Gets to Live in the New Urban America.” Randy, long an advocate for tenants' rights, and whose personal, unofficial campaign slogan is “Legalize apartments!” offers a blueprint for what cities can, and should, do to make cities more livable for working Americans, including overcoming NIMBYism, restrictive zoning and generational divides that lead to a lack of housing. Also, learn the answer to, why the heck is it called the “Tenderloin District?” And, in this special election week episode, find out which NACCED member won her city council race (oh yeah!) and what movie taglines Laura, Sarah and Heather can claim as their life's theme (and you can, too!).

The recent death of NAUI's long-time Director of Training, Randy Shaw, has left a big hole in the dive industry. This week Greg, along with the help of some of the other people that knew and worked with Randy, pay a special tribute to him.
An evening with Randy Shaw, author of the new book Beyond the Fields: Cesar Chavez, the UFW, and the Struggle for Justice in the 21st Century . In "Beyond the Fields," Shaw reveals the untold story of how the spirit of "Sí Se Puede" that began with Cesar Chavez and the United Farm Workers in the 1960s still sets the course for today’s social justice movements. Shaw finds that the influence of Chavez and the UFW has ranged far and wide: in labor campaigns like Justice for Janitors, in the building of Latino political power, in the fight for environmental justice, in the growing national movement for immigrant rights, and even in Barack Obama’s presidential campaign. SEIU Executive Vice-President Eliseo Medina praises Shaw’s book as a "stirring account of how the UFW transformed people’s lives," and LeRoy Chatfield of the Farmworkers Documentation Project says it is a "must read" for former UFW volunteers.
