The Great Housing Challenge: WHAT MATTERS TO CONSTITUENTS?  A 4-part Town Hall Series on Zoom (August-November) Thursday nights, 5:00-6:30 pm Part 3: Elections Matter!  Learn from three candidates running for state assembly on issues of affordable houisng and local control. They are challenging incumbents who align with their Sacramento peer group, rather than constituents.    Presenters: Margot Smith vs. Buffy Wicks, East Bay, AD 13 Lydia Kou vs. Marc Berman, Palo Alto, AD-23 Liz Lawler vs. Gail Pellerin, Santa Cruz, San Jose, AD 28 Aaron Peskin (invited) candidate for SF Mayor The California Dream is collapsing into a California Nightmare!  Legislators have passed 150 laws since 2017, without increasing the supply of affordable housing. Evidence shows conditions are getting worse. What matters?  Affordable housing, of course.  And also safety, taxes, elections, and the constitution.
