Bay Area Shifting Demographics

When you look at the pandemic, remote work and new economic patterns in this country, there may not be a region that has seen a greater shift in demographics or population geography than the Bay Area. A lot of the stories you hear aren’t as basic as they are framed: people are fleeing the region, there are no kids in San Francisco, the suburbs are diversifying. But there is nuance, context and understanding in all of them. We explore the shifting demographics of the Bay Area with demographers and policy analysts.see more

On Wednesday, President Obama hosted the White House's first Maker Faire, where he played with a 17-foot robotic giraffe and a 3D pancake printer. Obama said he hoped reviving the spirit of making stuff by hand would help spur manufacturing and innovation in America. The first Maker Faire was held in the Bay Area in 2006, founded by Dale Dougherty. Dougherty joins us in-studio to talk about the future of the Maker Movement as part of Forum's First Person series profiling Bay Area innovators and leaders who make our region unique.

Guests:

Dale Dougherty, founder of the Maker Faire, editor of MAKE magazine and co-founder of O'Reilly Media
