"Perigo, who’s involved with the housing and homelessness issues in the Democratic Socialists of America’s San Francisco chapter, says she sees the need for new construction in crowded cities like San Francisco, but also the need to ensure that new construction is accessible to people with a range of incomes and that it takes into account the needs and rights of the current residents who it might affect."
