‘No Section 8’ - a podcast by KQED

Most landlords in San Jose don't take Section 8 housing vouchers. And housing advocates see the vouchers as a proxy for race, or keeping out people of color. As a possible remedy, the San Jose city council wants to tweak the law to encourage more landlords to take the vouchers. The proposal has some holes, though.

Guest: Emily DeRuy, Mercury News reporter covering San Jose
