Conor Dougherty’s GOLDEN GATES has received glowing praise from The New Yorker and The Wall Street Journal. The New Yorker calls it a “sweeping account of San Francisco’s housing crisis,” while The Wall Street Journal writes: "For a compelling and accessible overview of the state’s housing crisis, there is no better book." The book also appeared on New York Magazine’s list of books that authors are reading during self-isolation to escape the present moment. Kevin Nguyen, author of NEW WAVES, writes: “The beat-by-beat developments of California’s decades-long growth of income inequality are presented with sharp detail and an even, measured tone.” Penguin Press published the book on February 18, 2020.
