Are Airbnb bans actually hurting renters, homebuyers, and your local economy? The truth doesn't seem so obvious, but new data shows the unintended consequences of banning Airbnbs and short-term rentals, especially in big cities. To get a take from someone inside the industry and with plenty of data to share, we invited Taylor Marr, Senior Housing Economist at Airbnb, to the show to explain how Airbnbs affect the economy, affordability, and housing supply. For years, there have been claims that short-term rentals take away housing supply from renters and homebuyers and, as a result, inflate rents and home prices in nearby areas. But new data is saying something very, very different. Today, Taylor talks about how Airbnbs and short-term rentals change a local economy, the amount of money this type of local hospitality provides to small businesses, and why affordability ISN'T improving in areas where Airbnbs are banned. We'll also discuss the age of “experiences” and how hosts can earn more by catering to a new kind of traveler willing to spend. Do you have a short-term rental or want to make money with one in the future? Then don't miss this episode! In This Episode We Cover: A short-term rental market update and how Airbnbs are faring in 2024  Airbnb supply and whether or not the short-term rental market is oversaturated  Tips for hosts to take advantage of “experiences” and make more money from their vacation rentals  The $80B impact Airbnb has on local economies and the real result of banning them  How Airbnb is working with local governments to IMPROVE affordability and tourist spending   And So Much More!

New “broker fee” reform could help tenants save thousands of dollars when finding their next apartment or home to rent, but it could come at a significant cost to landlords. In big cities like Boston and New York, it's not unusual for landlords to hire a broker to help bring in more potential tenants. The problem is that, unlike the rest of the United States, landlords in these cities DON'T have to pay the broker—the tenant does. But this isn't some small fee. These broker fees range from eight to fifteen percent of the annual rent, and in pricey Boston or New York City, that could mean thousands of dollars in fees to move into a new place. We brought on StreetEasy Senior Economist Kenny Lee to explain why this antiquated system is still in place and whether or not the reform will go through and help renters. What are the economic implications for the rental market if these reforms are passed? Will this help renters, landlords, or both, and could it actually increase competition in already competitive markets by lowering the barrier to entry for finding a new rental? In This Episode We Cover Boston and NYC's “broker fees” explained and why they're so different from the rest of the US How the broker fee reform could change the rental market in big cities The cost of moving and how high broker fees restrict renters who are already struggling What broker fee reform could do to rental property demand in these big cities Broker fee negotiation and what the future looks like for landlords who have to pay these finder's fees And So Much More!

This week we take a trip to Mexico, a petrostate that just elected climate scientist Claudia Sheinbaum as its next president. She's also the former mayor of Mexico City, the largest city in North America, which has been going through a major water crisis due to climate change. It's at risk of running out of water — and it has been for a long time. In fact, much of the country is coping with drought and heat waves exacerbated by climate change. Christine Colvin, a hydrogeologist with WWF International, was in Cape Town, South Africa, at the height of a recent megadrought. The city was approaching Day Zero, when it would not be able to supply water to residents. Colvin says that of all the ways climate disruption impacts our lives, the most critical may be to our relationship with water.  "If the climate crisis is a shark, then water are its teeth. This is the thing that's really going to bite us first and hardest."  Guests: Oscar Ocampo, Coordinator for Energy and Environment, Mexican Institute of Competitiveness Christine Colvin, Water Policy Lead, WWF International

NYC seeing the effects of migrant influx... California passes on an opportunity to protect minors from sexual crimes.

Director of Policy and Research Paul Swinney is joined by Ant Breach, Associate Director, to discuss Centre for Cities' new report, Climbing the Summit: Big cities in the UK and the G7. How does the geography of the G7's economies alter our understanding of how well each nation performs? The report highlights the underperformance of the UK's largest cities relative to their G7 peers, and how this creates a yawning prosperity gap between the UK and G7 leaders the USA, France and Germany. Why are large places like Manchester and Birmingham, that should have an inherent productivity advantage given their size, falling behind? Paul and Ant talk discuss what the next Government should do to try and address the shortfall. This episode is part of Centre for Cities' City Minutes series. Please rate, review and share the episode if you enjoyed it.

Ever since the arrival of the COVID-19 pandemic in the US in 2020 led to a surge in people working from home, New York and other big cities have been forced to reckon with the possibility of a Doom Loop scenario of vacant offices and flagging economies. But given the right set of policies, cities can reverse their fortunes and embark upon a path to a Boom Loop of greater productivity and economic growth. Join Special Briefing as the authors of the Volcker Alliance issue paper, Doom Loop or Boom Loop: Work from Home and the Challenges Facing America's Big Cities, and an expert panel discuss the future economic impacts of remote work. Our panel of experts includes the paper's authors, David Stanek, vice president, and Richard Voith, founding principal, Econsult Solutions Inc.; as well as Jose Maria Barrero, assistant professor, Instituto Tecnológico Autónomo de Mexico; Stijn Van Nieuwerburgh, professor of real estate, Columbia Business School; and Kathryn Wylde, president and chief executive officer, Partnership for New York City. Notable Quotes: “Work from home poses a direct and serious challenge in New York City, especially in the commercial office sector and public transportation, but work from home also potentially offers great opportunities for the city.” - Dick Voith “San Francisco is the ‘poster child' for a difficult post-pandemic recovery, meanwhile Miami has gained upwards of 100,000 jobs since the pandemic.” - David Stanek “Recently, we've asked a series of qualitative questions in our surveys, asking people about returning to the office. What draws them to the office? Many firms said that they've done several big pushes to return to the office, which I think gives you a sense of how difficult it is for certain organizations, especially in knowledge work industries, to bring their people back,” - Jose Maria Barrero “Employers' real estate commitment to New York City is extremely positive. More than half are committed to at least maintaining their current footprint, more than 30% have actually increased or anticipate increasing their footprint in the next year, and only 10% are looking at reducing their footprint.” - Kathryn Wylde “We need to convert brown offices to green apartments, in a nutshell. Of course, there are both regulatory and financial obstacles to conversion. We've come to the conclusion that roughly 10% of the office stock is readily convertible based on its physical characteristics. In cities like New York or Chicago, where we have an older office stock, that number is probably closer to 30%.” - Stijn Van Nieuwerburgh Be sure to subscribe to Special Briefing to stay up to date on the world of public finance.

Loyd Bourgeois is a seasoned attorney and managing partner at a law firm situated in a small town between New Orleans and Baton Rouge. As a first-generation college graduate, Loyd holds an engineering degree and later pursued law at Tulane, developing a specialization in environmental law. After initially practicing in toxic tort remediation, he shifted his focus to disability law, sparked by a personal family experience. Today, he has grown his legal practice to encompass personal injury and disability cases, expanding his services nationally in the disability arena while maintaining a strong local presence for personal injury matters. In this insightful episode of the Managing Partners Podcast, host Kevin Daisey introduces Loyd Bourgeois, an attorney with a unique story who has built a thriving legal practice right on the outskirts of two major Louisiana cities. The episode taps into Loyd's journey from engineering to law, his initiation into disability law due to a cousin's health crisis, and the subsequent expansion of his practice to connect with his community on a deeper level. Loyd shares how his firm carved a niche in a small town while leveraging proximity to larger markets to attract clientele. He emphasizes the power of local engagement and online strategies to build a trusted brand in less populated areas. Despite operating in the shadow of legal giants, Loyd explains how smaller firms can thrive by understanding their market, being community-focused, and utilizing digital marketing in parallel with grassroots efforts.

Read the full transcript here. How big of a problem is homelessness in the US? How many people in large cities like New York City or Los Angeles are unhoused? What's the best language to use when discussing this issue? How is "homelessness" defined? We usually don't label people without food or water as "foodless" or "waterless"; so why do we label people without homes as "homeless"? Why do we so often look away from the problem, both literally and figuratively? What are the most common events or circumstances that cause people to lose their housing options? What does research show about how unhoused people actually spend their money? What percentage of an average city's unhoused population is represented by the "visible" portion, the people we see on street corners or in tent camps? What percent of unhoused people struggle with mental health problems or substance abuse? What's the average life expectancy of an unhoused person? How much do governments (local, state, and/or federal) spend on homelessness annually? What's the best predictor of whether or not a person will suffer from chronic homelessness? What help — from government institutions, religious organizations, nonprofits, etc. — is available to unhoused people? How hard is it to meet your basic needs when you don't have a place to live? What should we do about unhoused people who refuse help or treatment for mental illnesses or substance abuse? Which nonprofits are working on homelessness? And what kinds of impacts have they made? What interventions are actually effective at solving homelessness on a large scale? What mistakes have the political left and right (in the US) made as they've tried to address homelessness? Demographically speaking, what kinds of people tend to make up unhoused populations in the US?Kevin F. Adler is a social entrepreneur, sociologist, and author who never learned the word "stranger", and tries to live accordingly. Currently, he is the Founder-In-Residence and Chairman of the Board of Miracle Messages, a nonprofit organization that helps people experiencing homelessness rebuild their social support systems and financial security through family reunification services, a phone buddy program, and the first basic income pilot for unhoused individuals in the US. He is also the bestselling author of When We Walk By: Forgotten Humanity, Broken Systems, and the Role We Can Each Play in Ending Homelessness in America, which Publishers Weekly called "a must-read for anyone interested in solving the problem of homelessness." Kevin's pioneering work on homelessness and "relational poverty" as an overlooked form of poverty has been featured in the New York Times, Washington Post, PBS NewsHour, The Guardian, LA Times, and in his TED Talk. Motivated by his late mother's work teaching at underserved adult schools and nursing homes, and his late uncle's 30 years living on the streets, Kevin believes in a future where everyone is seen as invaluable and interconnected.

Matt began releasing music in the early 2010s after teaching himself guitar while in college. He had a breakthrough with the streaming hit "Prayed for You" in 2018, which topped the Country Airplay charts in 2019, a position matched by "Everywhere But On" that year. After a couple of quiet years, Stell delivered the One of Us EP in February 2023.Talking about the beginning of his career as a singer, he was the lead singer of the band “The Crashers” in the late 2000s and early 2010s. This personality released three albums independently while being involved with the said band. Those albums were The Sound & the Story, Vestibule Blues, and A River Through It. Followed it with the single "Country Love Song" in 2015. In the meantime, he opened shows for headliners including Luke Bryan and Eric Church. An offer from Wide Open Music in Nashville, Tennessee, led to the release of the single "Prayed for You" and the EP Everywhere But On in 2019. "Prayed for You" went viral, amassing over ten million streams across platforms before the end of the year. The single's success translated to the charts: it topped Billboard's Country Airplay chart, as did "Everywhere But On." Another EP, Better Than That, arrived in October 2020 and included the song "Look at Me Now." The non-LP single "That Ain't Me No More" followed in 2021, with 2022's "Man Made" teasing the early-2023 release of the One of Us EP.Website: https://www.mattstell.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Mattstellmusic/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mattstell/www.GaryScottThomas.com
