About this Event

The plan to allow taller, denser housing is coming down to the wire. Home prices and rents remain sky-high. Small businesses want more protection or less red tape, depending who you ask. Meanwhile, downtown is still deep in recovery, offices are half-empty, and huge properties are selling for pennies on the dollar. How do we get to a more affordable, livable city? We'll have time for Q&A with Director Phillips, so bring questions and make your voice heard. 


Manny’s never turns away anyone for lack of funds. If you need a free ticket, just email "grapefruit" along with the event title to.
