KQED's ForumCan San Jose Show Us The Way to Creating Dense, Vibrant Urban Neighborhoods?San Jose, the Bay Area’s largest city, grew at the peak of car-heavy, sprawling urban planning. Most of its nearly one million residents live in single-family homes. These days, many California cities are looking for ways to concentrate more residents near transit to reduce carbon emissions, improve livability and address the Bay Area’s housing crisis. But even with the best intentions and a new mentality, can cities reinvent sprawl into dense, walkable neighborhoods? We’ll talk about San Jose’s attempt to shift toward density and what other cities can learn from it.Guests...2024-02-1555 min
Manhattan InsightsSilicon Valley's Dream CityOver the past half decade, panic has spread among politicians in California, as a mysterious startup bought over 50,000 acres in Solano County. In fact, "California Forever" is an effort backed by Silicon Valley investors to develop a new city with tens of thousands of homes in farmland outside San Francisco. The utopian vision for the city promises safe, walkable neighborhoods, vibrant public spaces, and easy access to jobs. But given the state's byzantine rules for development, it's unclear whether the venture can succeed. To shed light on this ambitious project, we have Chris Elmendorf, a leading expert...2023-09-2754 min

The Manny's PodcastCEQA, 469 Stevenson St., and the Future of California Housing PolicyOn December 6, 2022, SPUR and UC Davis law professor Chris Elmendorf stopped by our the Living Room for a conversation about San Francisco's notorious “Nordstrom’s parking lot” housing development and the implications for future housing policy around the state. In 2021, San Francisco’s Board of Supervisors rejected a proposal for a 495 unit building on the site of a Nordstrom's valet parking lot. Even though the city's Planning Department had completed its review and approved the project, supervisors rejected the recommendation, sending the project back with dubious demands for additional environmental review. Prof. Elmendorf discusses the relationship between the Calif...2022-12-141h 37
Infill: A YIMBY PodcastPlanning for Housing or Planning to Fail? San Francisco's Housing ElementThe first draft of San Francisco's housing plan was released last week and guests Chris Elmendorf and David Broockman talk about what it means for the city as well as the state overall. Cities across California are creating housing plans (aka "housing elements") that will be in effect for the next eight years. YIMBYs have successfully advocated for laws that help make sure this process is especially impactful. Because of these laws, the housing element process can potentially add millions of homes in communities across the state. The California State Department of...2022-08-161h 01Redeemer Broadcasting : A Plain AnswerA Plain Answer: How Big Tech Cancels us and one Option of dealing with it - Chris BedfordPeople are increasingly frustrated with "Big Tech" and their repeated cancelling of Christian and conservative points of view. About a year ago, our President at the time was de-platformed, and then the social media site Parler which was growing and becoming a challenge to Twitter, was shut down. Is this a fair and right approach? Does such action encourage the free exchange of ideas? What about the legal protection that these very large platforms have - is it still appropriate? This is the Section 230, which was enacted in 1996 as part of a law called the Communications Decency Act. What if...2022-01-1527 min

Oral ArgumentEpisode 183: West Coast ModelEpisode 183: West Coast Model (guest Chris Elmendorf)
Why is housing so expensive in major West Coast and northeastern cities? Not just more than you might want to pay, but, often, prohibitively expensive with little sign of new supply in areas people want to live. Chris Elmendorf joins us to explain this problem and the limited effectiveness of two types of solutions, the Northeastern and West Coast models. Drawing on the intergovernmental approach of the Voting Rights Act, Chris argues that a strong state role in reviewing the regulatory activities of local governments, if done in the right...2018-11-101h 33Oral ArgumentEpisode 73: Looking for the SplinesWe open the burgeoning mailbag.
