Valkyries Vibes / Bay Area Unified? / America's First Black Millionaire

Maya Goldberg-Safir on the Golden State Valkyries; think tanks SPUR and Joint Venture Silicon Valley on the Bay Area uniting; a new SF City Guide walking tour on American's first black millionaire, William Liedesdorff.

And, we’ll explore the ways in which federal dysfunction could spur a regional approach to challenging issues around housing, transportation, environment, and homelessness.
