Growth Machine
KUT & KUTX Studios, Audrey McGlinchyHousing prices in Austin have exploded in the past decade, leading to a city that’s not just unaffordable — but also highly segregated. None of this happened by accident. It’s the result of decades of decisions about what — if anything — gets built in Austin and where.

Reviews
- Excellent
I am native Austinite, but have lived elsewhere for most of my life. That said, I returned often, and witnessed the city’s extraordinary growth, and the constant controversy surrounding it. Not until listening to this podcast had I really had a handle on the larger context behind the daily stories. “Growth Machine” is a portrait of one American city, but it accurately and engagingly describes the forces shaping many if not most American cities.

Extremely well researched, great narrative storytelling, and all of the intrigue. This podcast has been so needed for so long to really begin to foster a shared understanding of how Austin’s housing market got to where it is today. Thank you KUT, please keep this going!

I’ve been in Austin for about 13 years and in the past 5 have had so many questions about Austin’s growth—many of which begin with WHY. Audrey and the team at KUT have done a wonderful job so far of begin to explore how Austin got to be where it is and why growth seems to be so challenging for one of the 10th largest cities in the US.
