What single conversation does SoCal need to have most? We want to hear from you.
We’re busy gearing up for our Southern California Regional Gathering in Santa Ana later this week (got your tickets yet?). And that means it’s almost time for a very special live, SoCal-focused edition of Upzoned, our weekly breaking-news podcast where we zero in on just one big story from the week and talk about what it means for the Strong Towns movement.
We want to hear from you. Vote for which big story you think Upzoned hosts Kea Wilson, Chuck Marohn, and special guest Joe Minicozzi of Urban3 should talk about live in Santa Ana. Tune in later this week to hear our conversation about the winning article. Or better yet, grab your seat to #StrongTownsSoCal and hear us hash it out live in person. If you use the code BLACKFRIDAY at checkout, you’ll get 75% off the ticket price!

Option 1: This story about California’s attempt to build a bullet train to Vegas—and what would be a better use of CA’s transit dollars.
Option 2: This article about San Diego’s recent decision to give one of its downtown streets the pedestrian mall treatment, and what other steps they and other SoCal cities could take to make their places more walkable.
Option 3: This Ars Technica opinion piece about Apple’s pledge to help end the housing crisis, and how the Strong Towns approach, not corporate dollars, can help put affordable homes within reach in the Golden State.
Option 4: Wildcard! Send us a link (in the form below) to a recent article about an issue that impacts Southern California that you think the Strong Towns approach can help.
