  • Great topics, even better discussions

    I turn to this podcast on my commute. I appreciate that it helps me dig into content on a topic with the time I have, then decide if I’d like to read the whole book later. The hosts are great at posing the questions in a way that planners from any city can take something of value from the conversation. Highly recommend that you add this to your rotation!

  • Excellent

    This is show has been an awesome resource studying for the AICP exam and on planning in general, defs recommend. The work put into it is much appreciated!! I do wish the episode titles and notes were more clear about the book/ author/ person being interviewed. That would help for quick reference and also help reach a wider audience.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Lost and The Found
Q: What message do you want readers and listeners to take away from the book?
The aim is to foster a compassionate, community-minded approach and to advocate for practical, housing-first-driven policy and better social supports.
The Lost and The Found
Q: What drew you to focus on Rita and Tyson specifically, among the many people you've interviewed?
He identifies the two as emblematic of broader patterns in homelessness and highlights the narrative potential and resilience of found-family networks.
The Lost and The Found
Q: Can you start off by describing your background, life experiences that led you to eventually being able to write this book?
Kevin explains his long career in journalism, his focus on poverty, and how his street-level reporting and personal experiences shaped the narrative and purpose of the book.
An Even Better Way to Zone
Q: So what is the negative trifecta and how can cities avoid such lose-lose-lose outcomes when it comes to zoning procedures?
The negative trifecta refers to time, cost, and uncertainty in approvals; when these rise, innovative and affordable projects walk away, harming affordability, sustainability, and equity, so cities should simplify processes, reduce discretionary hurdles, and enable staff to approve reasonable adjustments without endless hearings.
An Even Better Way to Zone
Q: Speaking of, how have our past practices like planning for development as it could be, not as land actually is, or as you say in the book, a pure form of planning created some of these zoning flaws that we were talking about?
Past practices treated redevelopment as if it were planning for raw land, leading to flawed zoning since infill and redevelopment require flexibility and a deeper understanding of site constraints; the discussion emphasizes moving away from inflexibility and toward governance that accounts for reuse and realistic site conditions.
