Description

Explore the unique political landscape of Santa Cruz, California, in this detailed study from Routledge. While most US cities are governed by real estate and development interests, Santa Cruz stands as a deviant case. This book examines how a specific coalition of socialist-feminists, environmentalists, social-welfare liberals, and neighborhood activists has reshaped local governance. Since 1969, this group has successfully stopped every growth project proposed by landowners and developers. Even after the 1989 earthquake necessitated a complete rebuild of the downtown area, progressive elected officials maintained control over the city council. This work provides a deep look into how local movements can successfully challenge traditional development power and maintain political control over decades of change.
