Lessons from San Francisco? The Culture of Renting and the Politics of Rental Housing

5:00pm - 6:00pm

Jackie Wong discusses her recent series, Generation Rent: Two Cities, Two Directions, recently published by The Tyee. We talk about the differences and similarities between Vancouver and San Francisco – and we specifically explore how political attitudes towards renting and renters can shape cities in profound ways. What are the differences between these two west coast cities? And what might we learn from our southern neighbour?
