Golden Gates

Fighting for Housing in America

Conor Dougherty

"Golden Gates" is a powerful investigation into the housing crisis, exploring the issues of inequality and a failing economy that have turned affordable housing into a luxury. Conor Dougherty takes readers on a journey through the history and forces that brought us here, while delving into the activist uprisings that have taken place in response to rising housing costs. Through intimate interviews with struggling families, tenants, and advocates, Dougherty uncovers the struggle for affordable housing in San Francisco Bay Area and beyond. This book is an essential read for those interested in the politics and social issues that impact our communities today.
