This is our second episode in collaboration with the ‘Where is Urban Politics?' hybrid seminar series hosted by the University of Groningen in the Netherlands between 2024-2026. This episode ponders urgent issues on (re)politicizing housing across Europe. The first speaker is Josh Ryan-Collins, who talks about the financialisation of housing, drivers, outcomes and options for reform from a United Kingdom perspective. Following his talk, Dirk Benzemer responses from his research perspective. Josh ponders on the current housing affordability and wealth inequality crisis. He argues that supply side reforms, which means increasing the amount of housing, will not be sufficient to ameliorate the housing crisis. Beyond this, he sees crucial responses needed in breaking the powerful feedback cycle between depth and wealth driven financial flows and house prices and reducing the potential for rent extraction from home ownership. Dirk Bezemer begins from the question ‘Roof or real estate?' to go through counter arguments he has encountered in Dutch political and public debates to which he is connected for many years. We hope you enjoy the episode!

Auto Finance Summit 2025 shed light on how auto lenders are responding to challenges facing the wider market, including credit performance, affordability and evolving technologies. Following subprime buy here, pay here lender Tricolor's Sept. 10 Chapter 7 bankruptcy filing, auto asset-backed securities spreads widened, Kayvan Darouian, director of consumer asset-backed securities research at Deutsche Bank, said during an Oct. 15 presentation at the event. Still, Tricolor's challenges do not represent issues facing the wider market, he said. Further, subprime share has “come back in the last 12 months,” and lenders should be competitive in the near prime sector, Scot Hensel, finance director at Kunes Auto Group, said during a fireside chat at the summit. Auto lenders are also leaning into AI and technology to drive efficiencies. GM Financial, for example, is piloting a digital app for dealers to manage their businesses and track information such as deal volume and floorplan balance, President and Chief Executive Susan Sheffield said during a fireside chat. Meanwhile, third-quarter bank earnings so far point to growth in auto originations and improved credit performance. Ally Financial's auto originations rose 24.5% year over year to $11.7 billion, while Wells Fargo Auto's originations soared 114.6% YoY to $8.8 billion. Bank of America's net charge-offs across its direct and indirect consumer portfolio also decreased 1 basis point YoY to 0.2%. Listen as Auto Finance News Editor Amanda Harris and Associate Editor Aidan Bush dive into the top stories from Auto Finance Summit 2025 and highlight key takeaways from third-quarter bank earnings.

PREVIEW HEADLINE: Obamacare's Affordability Crisis: What Went Wrong and How to Fix It GUEST: Michael Toth, Research Director of the Civitas Institute 50-WORD SUMMARY: Obamacare has become "massively unaffordable" for taxpayers because federal subsidies covering premiums rose from less than 70% to over 80%. The original mistakes could be corrected by deregulating the health insurance market, allowing insurers to charge lower premiums for younger, healthier people, thereby increasing the risk pool and bending the cost curve.

Unlock the “secret sauce” of consistent closes: tie-downs (aka micro-agreements). In this episode, we unpack how small, intentional yeses throughout your presentation create momentum, uncover misunderstandings early, and lead to a natural close—not a hard close. What you'll learn Why micro-agreements work: The psychology of agreement and Brian Tracy's law of incremental commitment. Where to use them: Rapport/CORE, stakes & urgency, education/presentation, budget framing, and the close. How to deliver them: Tone, timing, the power of the pause, and why consistency beats complexity. Real examples you can steal today: “That makes sense so far, right?” “You'd want this in place for your family, wouldn't you?” “Affordability is a priority for you, isn't it?” “If we find a plan that fits your budget and protects [NAMEs], you'd at least want to apply, right?” Analogies you'll remember Thermometer: keep “checking the temperature” so nothing goes cold. Tent tie-downs / trailer straps: secure each section so the whole sale doesn't blow away. Trail guide: move the fast, middle, and new learners together—everyone arrives at the summit. Try this challenge Add one simple tie-down to every section of your script this week and track them. Watch your confidence (and closes) climb. If this helped, subscribe, drop a comment with your favorite tie-down, and share with a teammate who needs more natural closes. #lifeinsurance #sales #telesales #closing #objectionhandling #LifeInsuranceAcademy  

Mortgage delinquencies are inching up, but affordability is finally improving — and refinance demand is surging as mortgage rates dip back toward 6%. In this episode, Kathy Fettke breaks down the latest ICE Mortgage Monitor Report for October 2025, revealing where the housing market is showing strength and where the risks remain. You'll hear how lower rates are boosting refinance activity by 80%, why the Midwest is leading in affordability, and which markets are still struggling with tight inventory and stretched buyers. Kathy also dives into a surprising new data point: millions of homeowners face serious flood risk — and most don't have insurance. If you want to understand what's really happening with home prices, mortgage performance, and the broader U.S. housing market, this episode delivers the insights every investor needs to know.

In early 2025, massive funding cuts from USAID sent shockwaves through the global development sector, leaving many to wonder what would come next. The money was gone, but the problems remained. In this follow-up conversation, Dimagi Managing Directors Gillian Javetski and Ismaïla Diene rejoin the podcast to discuss the aftermath and the unexpected "diamonds" created from the pressure. They share how the crisis forced a pivot from large, custom-built projects to a new model centered on radical simplicity, focus, and affordability. This candid discussion explores the divergence happening among digital public goods, the necessity of sustainable business models, and why the most important question is no longer "what new feature can we build?" but "can we make the existing value radically cheaper?". Discover how this shift led Dimagi to a bold new offering: a national-scale community health information system (eCHIS) for just $5,000 a month—a fraction of the historical cost.Related Resources:What's New in CommCare Webinar recordingThe Next Generation Electronic Community Health Information System (eCHIS) DeckCommCare Provider programBig Enough.

Today, Simon Kuestenmacher and I discuss a topic that's at the heart of the “Great Australian Dream”: homeownership. For over a century, owning your own home was not just a rite of passage—it was an expectation. But that dream is slipping further out of reach for millions of Australians, particularly younger generations. We discuss the evolving landscape of homeownership in Australia, tracing its historical roots and examining the current challenges faced by younger generations.   We examine the impact of demographic shifts, migration, and investment trends on homeownership rates, as well as the growing trend towards renting.   The conversation highlights the complexities of housing affordability and the systemic issues that need to be addressed to ensure a fair chance for all Australians in the property market.   Takeaways  Homeownership in Australia is becoming increasingly unattainable for younger generations. Historical peaks of homeownership have been followed by significant declines. Demographic shifts, including education and migration, are impacting homeownership rates. The average age of first home buyers is rising due to economic pressures. Government policies are often short-term solutions rather than systemic changes. The divide between asset-owning and non-asset-owning families is widening. The 'bank of mom and dad' plays a crucial role in homeownership. Renting is likely to become the norm in Australia.   Affordability issues are compounded by rising property prices and construction costs. A comprehensive approach is needed to address housing affordability for future generations.   Chapters  01:48 – Homeownership Dream Slipping Further and Further 09:24 - Different Levels of Homeownership 09:20 – Peculiarities of Life in Inland Cities 13:31 – The Cost of New Construction Become Even Worse 17:45 – Projects in Australian Rental Landscape 21:49 – First Home Buyer Schemes 23:37 – Final Thoughts     Links and Resources:   Answer this week's trivia question here- www.PropertyTrivia.com.au ·         Win a hard copy of Michael Yardney's Guide to Investing Successfully ·         Every entry receives a copy of a fully updated Michael Yardney Property Report   Michael Yardney   Get the team at Metropole to help build your personal Strategic Property Plan Click here and have a chat with us   Simon Kuestenmacher: Australia's leading demographer and partner in the Demographics Group   Get a bundle of eBooks and Reports at www.PodcastBonus.com.au   Also, please subscribe to my other podcast, Demographics Decoded with Simon Kuestenmacher – just look for Demographics Decoded wherever you are listening to this podcast and subscribe so each week we can unveil the trends shaping your future.

Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson brings her vision for Michigan's future to The Common Bridge, outlining why she's running for governor in 2026 and what she hopes to accomplish for the state's citizens.At the heart of Benson's campaign is a commitment to making Michigan "the best place to be a kid, raise a kid, and call home." As a mother raising an eight-year-old son in Detroit, she understands firsthand the challenges facing Michigan families. "The work we do over the next 10 years is going to define his future and the future of our loved ones throughout the state," she explains, highlighting the urgency behind her candidacy.Affordability emerges as the cornerstone of Benson's platform. From cherry farmers in Traverse City who can't afford housing near their work to Detroit families struggling with utility bills, economic anxiety touches every corner of the state. Benson proposes tackling these challenges through strategic investments in affordable housing, healthcare access, and public education while making government work more efficiently for citizens—something she's demonstrated as Secretary of State by modernizing services and eliminating wait times.The conversation explores Michigan's potential transformation from the "Rust Belt" to what Benson calls the "Innovation Belt." Her vision includes ambitious infrastructure projects like high-speed rail connecting major cities, making Michigan "the small business capital of the nation," and developing talent pipelines through education and workforce training. This economic strategy aims to reverse Michigan's population decline by creating communities where people want to build their futures.What distinguishes Benson's approach is her commitment to collaboration across partisan lines. Having won her 2022 election by 14 points—carrying counties other Democrats couldn't win—she emphasizes the importance of listening to all voices and finding common ground. "No one party has all the ideas," she says, rejecting the polarization that dominates much of today's political discourse.As Michigan's chief election officer who improved the state's ranking from 31st to 2nd in election administration, Benson understands how good governance builds trust. Her campaign represents an opportunity to demonstrate that politics can still be about solving problems rather than stoking division—a message that resonates in these challenging times.Whether you're concerned about economic opportunity, education, infrastructure, or the political climate, Benson's conversation offers a thoughtful perspective on Michigan's challenges and potential solutions.
