Homelessness, Affordable Housing and Gentrification / Veer Towards Queer March 14

Rosemary Johnston of the Interfaith Shelter Network and Ann Menasche and Rocky Neptun of the Affordable Housing Coalition discuss homelessness, affordable housing and gentrification in San Diego. Audio Duration: 1 hr 56 min.

"This city should be indicted for its violation of human and civil rights as far as homeless people go."
"We're turning into something like Charles Dickens' time - if we don't unite behind the poorest of the poor, we all will suffer."
"If you go the the gaslamp quarter [tourist magnet] in the wee hours of saturday or sunday morning, you will see more trash and inappropriate behavior in one night than you will see with the homeless population downtown in a whole year, yet no one is raising a hue and cry to make those patrons invisible."
