Marisa Zapata

"The evening also featured a discussion by a panel that included [Ernest] Brown and Marisa Zapata, a Portland State University urban planning professor, who said she believes all housing should be socialized to guarantee everyone has a home they can afford. Zapata also is the director of PSU's Homelessness Research & Action Collaborative. 'I want to decolonize my whole orientation toward housing,' said Zapata, who called the idea that we should all aspire to homeownership a lie rooted in racism." [Redden 2019].
