Episode 5: The Terrain - City of Berkeley (Part I)

Telling Our Stories: The Housing Chronicles

Meet the trio in the City of Berkeley pushing boundaries to try and usher in new solutions to rooted wrongs in housing and development injustices. In this part one of our three-part interview meet Mayor - Jesse Arreguín, Council Member of District 3 - Ben Bartlett, and Chief of Staff (to the Mayor) - Jaqueline McCormick. What got them into public service? What is the current housing situation they face? What has been attempted? How has racism played a role in the current housing landscape in Berkeley?
