Do people drive less because they live in buildings that don't provide parking, or do they live in buildings that don't provide parking because they drive less? That question has huge implications for how we build and rebuild our cities, yet researchers have struggled for decades to answer it conclusively. UCLA professor Adam Millard-Ball joins us to discuss new research that finally — we hope — puts the question to bed. Taking advantage of San Francisco's affordable housing lottery, Millard-Ball and colleagues find that (as-good-as-)randomly assigning tenants to different buildings and neighborhoods has substantial impacts on their transportation choices, with lower parking ratios resulting in less driving and more transit use. We talk about what this means for housing and parking policy, and what it says about the behavioral shifts needed to make cities more affordable, accessible, and sustainable.Show notes:Millard-Ball, A., West, J., Rezaei, N., & Desai, G.

Keyanna Ortiz-Cedeño chats with Kat Sibel on Indigenous People's Day about her life's journey of twists and turns reflecting on her Peruvian ancestral roots and how Andean and Quechua knowledge and values informed her work and research looking at both sides of public health and environmental science. Kat Sibel (she/her/ella) is a passionate, bi-cultural Community Climate Resiliency Coordinator for the NYC Department of Health & Mental Hygiene. As a researcher, she embraces her indigenous identity in applying a decolonial lens to climate justice topics, such as extreme heat and flooding, and its impact on community health.

In most of the U.S., cities are for singles, roommates, and childless couples, and the suburbs are for raising kids. That's not true of much of the rest of the world, and perhaps the nearest example of family-friendly urbanism can be found just a few miles to the north, in Vancouver, British Columbia. Vancouver's under-15 population fell by one percent citywide between 1996 and 2016, but in downtown specifically, its youth population nearly tripled. Louis Thomas, lecturer at Georgetown University and a parent himself, joins us this week to discuss the history, policies, and social infrastructure that have enabled this incredible shift, and how those lessons might translate to other cities and urban cores across North America.Show notes:Thomas, L.

Tom DeWeese is president of American Policy Center. Tom is one of the nation's leading advocates of individual liberty, free enterprise, private property rights, personal privacy, back-to-basics education, American sovereignty and independence and protecting our constitutionally-guaranteed rights.--As Tom pointed out at the start, Agenda 21, Agenda 2030, The Green New Deal, The Great Reset and the World Economic Forum are all the same in the sense that the aim is global control. Their efforts focus on our national sovereignty, independence and our ability to live our lives as we choose.--Another aspect of control involves the American Planning Association, a part of the Planners Network, which is officially run by the Organization of Progressive Planners. They are the premier planning group operating across the U.S. The idea is to put together comprehensive plans for communities to make certain there's controlled growth for the future. So they make it sound as though their planning is coming from the local level. The problem is that you have non-governmental organizations in the background, moving forward with plans that are putting Agenda 21 and Agenda 2030 plans in place. So in the end, such planning falls right into the playbook of the United Nations, with an emphasis on environmental control.--Find out where this is headed as it relates to housing, social justice-social engineering and more, on this edition of Crosstalk.

Cities have lived with exclusionary zoning for decades, if not generations. Is inclusionary zoning the answer? Inclusionary zoning, or IZ, requires developers to set aside a share of units in new buildings for low- or moderate-income households, seeking to increase the supply of affordable homes and integrate neighborhoods racially and socioeconomically. But how well does it accomplish these goals? This week we're joined by the Mercatus Center's Dr. Emily Hamilton to discuss her research on how IZ programs have impacted homebuilding and housing prices in the Washington, D.C. region, and the ironic reality that the success of inclusionary zoning relies on the continued existence of exclusionary zoning.

John is joined by PeggySue Imihy Bean (President of the Minnesota Chapter of the American Planning Association) and Alex Schieferdecker (also a planner). We're talking about the effort at the state legislature to protect municipal comprehensive plans from bad-faith environmental lawsuits (contact your state legislators!). The group of wealthy pretend environmentalists currently holding up the Minneapolis 2040 plan in court - over too much housing density - could be a sign of things to come for every city in the region. Not only is this potentially costly for cities who can't afford it, it has the potential to distort the process and discourage thoughtful and thorough long-range planning. The world's climate scientists agree that dense pedestrianized cities are good for the environment, allowing people to use less energy and driving less. PeggySue explains how comprehensive plans are already a form of environmental review. And as she wrote in a recent Star Tribune opinion, the tools available for environmental review in Minnesota are intended for specific projects or sites, not for speculative visions of the future, like citywide comprehensive plans. Alex notes that what's missing from the discussion and the court record is that the 2040 Plan isn't solely about housing density - it's about planning for stormwater runoff and a less car-centric transportation system. While a dozen of the state's realest environmental organizations (like Sierra Club) have signed on to fix state law, the plaintiffs in the anti-2040 case were created for the sole purpose of this lawsuit (and are represented by a lawyer who typically represents big polluters). We talk about how the Moorhead, MN and Washington state examples (of places that use environmental review for their comprehensive plans) are bad ones. And much, much more. It also comes to light during this episode that PeggySue is draining my small business of cash by purchasing her Wedge LIVE apparel through ad links, wiping out my already thin margins - so it's more important than ever to support Wedge LIVE (patreon.com/wedgelive).

Learn about the transportation advocacy campaign led by the Northwest Center, a 501c3, community based organization (formerly known as the Northwest Side Housing Center) pushing to bring more bike lanes and bikeshare to the Belmont Cragin neighborhood of Chicago. This episode was the first podcast collaboration between Latinos and Planning and the Shared-Use Mobility Center (SUMC). Co-host: Hani Shamat is a Program Coordinator at SUMC in Chicago, Illinois Co- host: Alex Rosander, mobility enthusiast and former Program Coordinator at SUMC Guest: Zair Menjival, operations Coordinator at Equiticity Guest: Jeremy Cuebas, transportation organizer for Northwest Center Producers: Hani Shamat, Alex Rosander, and Alvaro Villagran, Director of Federal Programs at SUMC Editor: Grecia White, New Mobility Planner at City of Boston Jeremy Cuebas is the transportation organizer for Northwest Center. His work focuses on building relationships and empowering the youth specifically in the Belmont Cragin neighborhood. He led a group of 30 students called the “Belmont Cragin Youth Leadership council” who met 5 days out of the week, to organize, strategize, and meet with community stakeholders, elected officials, and residents on issues that they are passionate about. In 2019 Jeremy and the youth council rallied around the idea of improving public transportation in Belmont Cragin. Zair Menjival is a firm believer that in order for Chicago to be considered the best city in the world, all 77 neighborhoods of Chicago have to be the absolute best. Zair is currently an Operations Coordinator at Equiticity, and in his previous role, he organized multiple transportation and health oriented events at the 31st Ward Alderman's Office. He also organized around transportation inequities in the Belmont Cragin neighborhood of the city, which recently saw unprecedented investments in new bike lanes, bike locks, and Divvy bike share stations. Alex Rosander is a native Midwesterner, mobility enthusiast, and former Program Coordinator at SUMC where she provided planning and technical expertise on a wide range of mobility initiatives, including the Bikes for Belmont Cragin Evaluation Report, FTA's Mobility Innovation Program, and USDOT's Thriving Communities. As an urban planning professional with a keen interest in universal design and sustainable transportation solutions, she's enjoyed the opportunity to work with agencies and community organizations to support strategic mobility efforts at both the national and local levels. Outside of work, Alex enjoys exploring new places on bike, hammocking along Lake Michigan, and listening to live music. Hani Shamat is a Program Coordinator at the Shared-Use Mobility Center in Chicago, IL. Hani has a passion for transportation and a drive to make it equitable, sustainable, and connected.

This episode was recorded during last November's LUGARES conference -- LAP's annual virtual conference where the theme was Caminando P'alante. As Deputy Assistant Secretary for Grant Programs, Claudia Monterrosa oversees affordable housing and community development programs, including the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program, the HOME Investment Partnerships program, the Housing Trust Fund, and CDBG Disaster Recovery funds, in addition to Department-wide energy and environmental policy. Claudia brings decades of non-profit and public sector experience incorporating social justice, grassroots organizing, and equity to her work at HUD. Previously, Ms. Monterrosa served as the Chief Housing Officer for the City of Los Angeles. In this capacity she oversaw the implementation of Measure HHH's $1.2 billion for the development of Permanent Supportive Housing and successfully secured over $1.6 billion for emergency rental assistance for COVID-impacted tenants. She served as the Public Policy & Research Director at the Los Angeles Housing and Community Investment Department (HCIDLA), where she managed a team that secured more than $800 million in new funding for affordable housing, energy efficiency programs, foreclosure prevention, and strategic planning and preservation initiatives.

It's undeniable that we take water access for granted – until we don't have it or until water quality degrades, anyways. With at least forty states anticipating water shortages this year, using water efficiently is more important than ever. This week, Sarah Backer is joined by Mary Ann Dickinson, Co-Chair of the Water and Planning Network for the American Planning Association, and Adam Schempp, Senior Attorney at ELI, to discuss water conservation strategies, the influence of law, and progress toward achieving reliable and safe water supplies today and in the future. ★ Support this podcast ★
