In "Rethinking the Suburbs," guests from across the region will share their work towards a vision that looks at racial equity in a way that's inclusive of the broader Bay Area beyond the big three core cities. Joining the conversation will be San Francisco Supervisors Gordon Mar and Myrna Melgar, Shajuti Hossain from Public Advocates, Debra Ballinger from Monument Impact in Concord, and Poncho Guevara from Sacred Heart in San Jose. Moderated by KQED's Erin Baldassari.

CCHO wrote a series of essays on the topic (https://medium.com/@sfccho/tackling-exclusionary-housing-policy-in-california-1e7db6387e24), that offers a framework for reviving suburban infill housing as a way to address the Bay Area's housing needs and address regional segregation.
