The Alameda Democratic Club is hosting a meeting tonight at 7pm with a panel on housing — specifically the challenges facing Alameda and the region from the statewide housing shortage. I’ll be one of the speakers on the panel, which features a wide range of viewpoints (including a member of the Alameda City Council):

• Marilyn Ezzy Ashcraft, Alameda City Council
• Victoria Fierce, East Bay for Everyone
• Paul Foreman, Alameda Citizens Task Force
• Catherine Pauling, Alameda Renters Coalition
• Jose Cerda-Zein, Realtor

Members of the public are welcome, and it will be held at the Alameda Hospital, Second Floor Room A. I’ll be sure to discuss SB 827 (Wiener) and other policies needed to address the housing shortage. Hope you can attend!
