On today’s Your Call, we’ll have a conversation about the widening social and economic disparities in San Francisco. Soaring home prices coupled with a rise in evictions and high rents has created tension between the city’s residents and its tech community. How do we start a dialogue about the changes we’re seeing? And how should we create livable cities for all? Join the conversation on Your Call, with Rose Aguilar and you.
