Google pledged $1 billion earlier this month to help ease Silicon Valley’s housing crisis. That crisis is playing out in Google’s home city of Mountain View, where city leaders want to ban RVs from parking overnight on city streets. RV dwellers say they have nowhere else to go.

Guest: Rachael Myrow, Acting Silicon Valley Bureau Chief
