Building an Equitable Bay Area
Filmaker's comments:
To set the frame for 2008’s inaugural State of the Region, Urban Habitat conducted a series of filmed interviews with community leaders from across the Bay Area. In this 10 minute production, our interviewees highlight the region’s key opportunities for improving quality of life in low income communities and communities of color – and the central role that the Bay Area Social Equity Caucus plays in moving an equity agenda.

Editor's Note:
This clip has an appearance by Ericka Erickson, Grassroots Leadership Network of Marin . She is our newest Planning Commission member and Marinwood Mom who will be voting on the Housing Element for Unincorporated Marin. We sincerely hope she will considers the impact on our community and schools to have 71% of all affordable housing situated within our borders and virtually no tax base to support these developments.

From the Urban Habitat website:
One Bay Area planning decisions under way now will determine how $240 billion of public transportation money is spent over 30 years. The process will also influence where the region’s new housing, including affordable homes, will be built. Taken together, One Bay Area plans have the potential to shape our lives and determine whether we will indeed be One Bay Area—equal in opportunity and health—or continue as many Bay Areas, segregated by unequal access to transit and housing options and subjected to unequal environmental and health burdens like air pollution and hazardous traffic levels
