City planners have for decades perpetrated segregation, displacement and inequality. We called this out in our first part of this series, “Post-Coronavirus We Need a New Way to Plan Cities.” Building on that piece, we are introducing a revolutionary framework for how to achieve equity by planning cities in an entirely new way: by intentionally addressing Desegregation, Affordability, Production, Stability and Sustainability (DAPSS).

This is the first in a series of essays with illustrations by the brilliantly talented Frederick Noland. This is work that grows out of our 2019 animated feature, Priced Out: Why You Can’t Afford to Live in San Francisco.

The Affordable Housing Act would repeal the Costa Hawkins Rental Housing Act, a law that limits rent control.
