Professor Stephen Wheeler argues that Davis, California needs to rethink its zoning code, housing policies, and leadership to align with cutting-edge climate action and sustainable urban planning, and to create a more equitable and livable city.

Inventopia, a nonprofit startup incubator in Davis, has generated over $100 million in total economic output for the City of Davis over the last six years, including over $35 million in payroll, 131 total jobs, and more than $230,000 in direct revenue to the City of Davis.

YIMBYism is a grassroots movement advocating for more housing, particularly in urban California, that is not driven by developers, but by renters, young workers, environmentalists, and displaced families, and has been successful in many cities, but not in Davis due to exclusionary policies.
