Ep 73: Housing

March 21, 2020

Today’s episode is about housing with Sean Betouliere and Ian Smith (@metaforgotten). Sean and Ian will discuss the case of Smith v. City of Oakland, a class action lawsuit brought by Disability Rights Advocates and the Public Interest Law Project (PILP) in August 2019. The case alleges Oakland renters who need to live in accessible units are either shut out of the City’s rent control protections entirely or forced to live in inaccessible units. Sean is a Staff Attorney at DRA and Ian is one of the main plaintiffs in addition to Sunday Parker and Mitch Jeserich. Disability Visibility is a production of the Disability Visibility Project, an online community dedicated to recording, amplifying, and sharing disability media and culture.
