Affordable housing has been around long before the programs of recent history, dating to the 19th century. To adequately provide for it requires a varied approach to serving all income levels, from the most impoverished to moderate-income families. This means both supply and demand side programs paired together, with voucher programs across the board and low-income housing tax credit (LIHTC) projects supplementing the need. According to author Alan Mallach of A Decent Home, housing vouchers or their equivalent should be a universal right for those who need it. The affordable housing crisis and homelessness will not be solved until the government does this. In this episode, we discuss these topics in-depth and go into what changes he would make to the book, which was published over 12 years ago but remains an important topic today.

And now, a conversation about housing in Baltimore City. A new Abell Foundation report examined why the rate of homeownership in Baltimore has fallen over the last decade, and the barriers for homeownership, particularly in communities of color. That report's co-author, UMBC researcher Sally Scott, joins Tom. Another Abell report looks at who is leaving Baltimore, and who’s moving in, and examines perceptions of gentrification. Alan Mallach did that study. He is a senior fellow at the Center for Community Progress in Washington DC, and he also joins us. Jody Landers is also here. He was commissioned by a network of neighborhood organizations called Healthy Neighborhoods to do a market survey of home sales in so-called “middle neighborhoods.”

Alan Mallach, noted urban planner and author of “The Divided City”, and Maurice Cox, Planning and Development Director for the City of Detroit, addressed the Detroit Economic Club on February 12, 2019 to share their unique perspectives on Detroit's neighborhood revival efforts and what needs to be done to remove barriers to equality.  Mallach stated, “I think both corporations and foundations should be saying, ‘How can we invest in ways that strategically move those needles?’ Not things that look good or feel good for this week or this month. But have significant sustained change.” “I think it’s really important to understand Detroit is at the forefront of experimentation and exploration and neighborhood revitalization,” said Cox. “These are pilots we’re going to learn as we go along…We are going to learn something from each of them and bring those lessons to the next crop of the neighborhoods.”

Can Cities Like St. Louis Get Financially Stronger by Merging with Richer Places?

Trivia time: can you name the only three American cities* that aren’t a part of a larger county—and don’t have access to the tax dollars of their suburban neighbors (and vice versa)?If you said Baltimore, Maryland; Carson City, Nevada; and St. Louis, Missouri, you’d be right. (The asterisk is for cities in Virginia, which, for various complicated Civil War-era reasons, doesn’t count.) But if some local advocates have their way, the last name on that list might not be there for long.Last week, a billionaire-funded group called Better Together put forward a plan to re-unite St. Louis City and St. Louis County, which have been governed separately since way back in 1876 (for more complicated Civil War-era reasons). But while some proponents are cheering, others aren’t so sure that getting the band back together is a good idea—and the reasons why on both sides are a fascinating case study in how moving lines on a map can distract from the real and crucial conversations we should be having about how we can make our places financially strong. On this episode of Upzoned, long time St. Louis resident and Strong Towns staffer Kea sits down with Strong Towns president Chuck Marohn to talk about the ins and outs of the merger, and what they wish Missourians would talk about instead. Would melding STL and SLC give the city access to county tax dollars that they badly need to fix their infrastructure? Or would it give the county the windfall they need just in time to rescue their aging suburban roads as they begin to fail—leaving the city worse off than it started? Would a merger really transform the St. Louis metro overnight into an economic development heavyweight, poising it to compete with Nashville and Denver for the next corporate headquarters that goes searching for a home—and if it did, would it really be a good thing? And most importantly, how can St. Louis—and every city like it—shift the conversation away from merely developing a more financially efficient city, and towards building a more financially productive one that can really thrive?Then in the Downzone, Chuck and Kea talk their recent reads, from the very on-topic Divided City by Alan Mallach to the not-so-relevant but still very fun Star Wars Catalyst: A Rogue One Novel. (Guess who’s reading which.) And then they mildly torture Kea by talking about this weekend’s upcoming entertainment: the Rams vs. Patriots Superbowl.Top photo via Flickr.

Who really benefits from urban revival? From trendy coastal areas to the nation’s heartland, cities are seeing levels of growth beyond the wildest visions of only a few decades ago. For a look at the ramifications of this explosive growth for our own region, we convened a panel of city planning experts and representatives for our local government. First, urban practitioner Alan Mallach shared insight from his book The Divided City, spotlighting the effects of revival on major metropolitan cities over the past 20 years. He contended that, in order to foster greater equality and opportunity in increasingly crowded cities, regions must develop local strategies that focus on the needs of the people—education, jobs, housing, and quality of life. With these needs in mind, we turned to a panel of local policy-makers to discuss, compare, and contrast the challenges King County and the Puget Sound Region are facing in the wake of exponential growth. Sit in for a critical discussion with key figures in our local government who shared strategies for how Seattle and the region at large can overcome inequities resulting from the transformation of our urban area. Alan Mallach is a senior fellow at the Center for Community Progress in Washington DC. A city planner, advocate and writer, he is nationally known for his work on housing, economic development, and urban revitalization. He is the author of A Decent Home: Planning, Building and Preserving Affordable Housing and Bringing Buildings Back: From Vacant Properties to Community Assets. Panelists: Jenny Durkan is the 56th Mayor of Seattle and the first woman to lead the city in nearly a century. Prior to becoming Mayor, Durkan was a civic leader and nationally-recognized attorney. From 2009 to 2014, she served as the U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Washington, becoming the first openly gay U.S. Attorney in our country’s history. Nancy Backus was elected to her first term as mayor in 2014 and is the first female to hold the office in Auburn’s 125 year history. Prior to taking office, she served 10 years as an Auburn city councilmember and spent 25 years as a financial manager for the Boeing Company. Claudia Balducci is a Councilmember for King County, representing district 6. She has acted as a member of the Bellevue city charter commission and then to the City Council where she served for 12 years, including two years as Deputy Mayor and two years as Mayor. Moderators: Marty Kooistra is the Executive Director of the Housing Development Consortium. His work has focused on community revitalization in the U.S. and abroad for 27 years, emphasizing sustainable building practices, community development, the rehabilitation and preservation of foreclosed and distressed properties, as well as board development and strategic alliances. Patience Malaba is Advocacy Mobilization Manager of the Housing Development Consortium. She manages HDC’s policy advocacy engagement and mobilization efforts that advance HDC’s annual policy priorities. Prior to joining HDC, Patience led the outreach work of Seattle for Everyone, a broad coalition of organizations united on a foundation of support for Housing Affordability and Livability Agenda (HALA).

And our headlines: Detroit’s Lafayette Park neighborhood will be seeing yet another new development. The developer, Ginosko Development Company, is currently calling the project “Lafayette West.” It’ll bring 374 new residences to the city across 5.2 acres. Michigan stands to lose more than $2.3 billion in economic activity if President Trump makes good on his threat to impose tariffs on imported automobiles. So says the reliably conservative U.S. Chamber of Commerce in an analysis released Monday. Now, when you buy a Detroit bus pass, you’ll get a free 30-day MoGo bike share pass. The new deal between the city’s department of transportation and the bike share system is good for weekly, bi-weekly or monthly DDOT bus passes. Sears in Oakland Mall will be closing this year as part of yet another wave of cost-cutting amid the overall decline of retail as spending shifts online. And, don't forget, the deadline to register to vote is approaching!

City of Knoxville Neighborhood Coordinator David Massey talks about the impact of blight on a community as he reviews Bringing buildings back: from abandoned properties to community assets: a guidebook for policymakers and practitioners by Alan Mallach.  “Mallach is a principal in the Center for Community Progress, a nationally acclaimed team of experts who have assisted the City of Knoxville and other Tennessee cities in efforts to adopt a more proactive approach to abandoned, blighted and vacant properties,” Massey says. “His work is exhaustive in its detailed explanation of the tools and best practices used across the country, including Knoxville, to combat blight.”  In Bringing Buildings Back, Mallach pulls together insights from law, economics, planning, and design to address all sides of the problem, from how abandonment can be prevented to how best to bring these properties back into productive reuse. (Recorded April 18, 2012)
