” As high housing costs continue crippling Bay Area residents, demands are growing for more affordable housing. ” Forum checks in with experts about how the affordability housing crisis reached this boiling point and what what can be done to alleviate it.” NPH’s Executive Director, Amie Fishman, was on KQED’s “Forum” last month, alongside the Executive Director of East Bay Housing Organizations Gloria Bruce and former California Department of Housing and Community Development Director Ben Metcalf, to discuss how the…

“A new bill introduced by state Sen. Scott Wiener, a Democrat who represents the 11th District, on Friday would give faith institutions and nonprofit hospitals the right to build 100% affordable housing projects on their property. “The proposed bill, SB 899, opens up such projects to by-right development, meaning churches and other qualifying charitable institutions could go through with affordable housing projects and avoid rezoning and discretionary approval processes that often prove to be their undoing. ““California desperately needs housing…

But the film disorders this gentle of linear chronology. Based on Zhao’s short, 65-page screenplay, the film includes several interludes of horse training that were not described in the script itself, set against the landscape of the badlands.
