The single variable that most defines every community is who lives there. A variety of forces determine that “who,” but today, in Santa Cruz, among the most important is our housing – its cost, configuration, and availability. The Chamber’s July 15 membership lunch will focus on the question of housing, and, particularly, on who we expect might live here in the future – that is, who we wish might live in Santa Cruz County and its various jurisdictions within the boundaries of social and economic probability – and the quantity and characteristics of housing necessary to attract and retain them. This working session will include some expert commentary about what might reasonably be expected to happen in the future in key industry segments and some notions about the variables that are outside of our influence. - It will also collect the wisdom and vision of the participants about who they believe will live and work here. The Chamber’s objective is to expand the conversation about housing. We will use it to ask both public and private decision makers to think not only about today’s housing “crisis” but also about who will live here in coming decades and how that outcome will be influenced by the decisions we make today about housing.
