In this episode, Aaron welcomes real estate developer Bobby Fijan to discuss one of the most overlooked crises in American urban life: the dramatic decline of children in major cities. Once filled with kids playing in the streets, neighborhoods in New York, San Francisco, Chicago, and beyond are now increasingly childless. Bobby and Aaron explore the causes—from Richard Florida's influential “creative class” vision that reshaped city priorities, to financial incentives driving developers to build studios and one-bedrooms instead of family-sized apartments, to skyrocketing private-school costs and the loss of family-friendly infrastructure.They also examine why this matters: cities are engines of opportunity and culture, but forcing ambitious young people to choose between career growth and starting a family is a societal failure. Bobby shares his vision for “baby maybe” housing, practical ways to make cities welcoming for young families again, and why a biblical image of elderly people watching children play in the streets should inspire modern urban planning. The conversation ends with a provocative look at how cities have become extraordinarily dog-friendly—at the expense of being kid-friendly.If you care about the future of America's greatest cities, this is a must-listen.CHAPTERS(00:00 - Intro & Welcome Bobby Fijan)(00:55 - The Collapse of Children in Big Cities)(03:17 - Why Kids Disappear After Age 5 (And Now Even Younger))(04:31 - Richard Florida and the Rise of the Creative Class)(07:13 - How Cities Catered to Young Singles—and Forgot Families)(10:55 - The Insane Cost of Private Schools in Cities)(12:47 - Decline of Catholic/Parochial Schools)(14:22 - Why Childless Cities Matter)(17:48 - Economic & Cultural Hubs Need Families Too)(19:45 - Texas Cities vs. Legacy East Coast Cities)(23:35 - Why We Keep Building Studios & One-Bedrooms)(26:23 - Financialization of Housing & Developer Incentives)(28:28 - Introducing “Baby Maybe” Housing)(31:29 - How to Fix the System (Fair Housing, Subsidies, Vision))(36:36 - Dogs, Kids, and the Future of Urban Life)(46:47 - Closing Thoughts)BOBBY FIJAN LINKS:

Here are 3 big things you need to know—   One — The Trump administration taking Boston to court over its immigration policies.  On Thursday the Department of Justice filed suit against the city's Democratic Mayor Michelle Wu.  The DOJ alleges Boston's policies that limit cooperation between police and federal immigration authorities violate the law.  In response, Wu accused the administration of pursuing an authoritarian agenda.   Two ---  The Trump administration is scrapping a Biden-era proposal requiring airlines to pay passengers for long delays, including up to 700 dollars for extended waits.  The Transportation Department says the move aligns with administration priorities and is also weighing whether to roll back a rule forcing airlines to disclose service fees upfront. And number three ---   U.S. Senate candidate Mike Rogers says Detroit's Mayor needs to call President Trump to get federal troops patrolling Motown.  The Republican former congressman says Detroit is a hub for violent crime and soars above the national average for murder, rape, robbery, and aggravated assault.  A city of Detroit spokesman counters Rogers, saying carjackings in Detroit have fallen 90-percent from 2013.

Marcie Begleiter, an artist based on the Central Coast of California, talks about: artist residencies, including the Sitka Center for Art and Ecology, where she recently did a 4-week residency, including collecting biological specimens/samples; how her time and relationship with the residency evolves over those four weeks, which has lead to artistic breakthroughs; how she likes deadlines, and can structure her residency experience with the clock ticking and puts extra focus on what she's doing, and in addition having the support of the people running the residencies; the importance of the artist statement in applications for residencies; what her experience was like at Sitka, from where she stayed (at an offsite house as opposed to the onsite cabins) to how she spent her days and nights, and what her studio days are like on a residency vs. the studio where she lives; why she left New York (Manhattan) for, initially Taos, N.M., and eventually California (essentially she needed more access to nature); and the interdisciplinary program she started at Otis College of Art that focuses on social change in the community.  In the 2nd half of our conversation, which is available on our Patreon page, she talks about: how she's restarting the local CERT (citizen's emergency response training) training in her unincorporated town (of Los Osos, CA), partially inspired by not having much access out of her area in an emergency; how she and her husband came to leaving Los Angeles for Los Osos, back in 2015/16, after she toured extensively with her documentary on the artist Eva Hesse; the benefits of living in a small town (Los Osos) which she prefers to city life; the lucky circumstances of having a great studio space in a location where you wouldn't expect great studios; why she vastly prefers a studio outside her home; she breaks down the different type of residencies: 1) fully funded plus stipends…2) fully funded, no stipend….3) highly subsidized…4) paying full ride; and finally, she addresses our standard finishing questions: how does she feel like social media in this moment, and how success is defined across various careers in the arts.

Gig work making $240-$320 extra a month (in Southern California and possibly in large cities)Method I have used to make a few extra hundred with mystery apartment shopping. Sorry but the exact dates might be inaccurate. I'll post any corrections below as I continue. (If there are multiple corrections I may add an updated episode).NOTES:- most of my direct deposits after checking my payout history, were all posted on the 7th of each month. One gig I completed was on the 6th of the mint and I was paid on the 7th of that same month. - noon on the 7th it seems new phone call lists are posted.- possibly midnight starting early morning on the 8th it seems new apartments to view are posted on the map- I would recommend checking early morning for those posted midnights, and checking just after noon, so this multiple days per week to see if you recognize posting patterns as I cannot tell if there are patterns to new posts by dates or if I just happen to be checking near random times. I notice maps change more then once per month.

Send us a textRentership rates across the United States have climbed to a nine-year high of 36% according to fresh Redfin data, marking a significant shift in the housing landscape as we move through 2025. This growing preference—or necessity—for renting over homeownership tells a compelling story about affordability challenges that continue to shape real estate markets nationwide.Major metropolitan areas like Austin, San Francisco, and Miami are experiencing skyrocketing rents, yet the demand shows no signs of slowing down. This trend is creating substantial opportunities for real estate investors focused on multifamily properties, while simultaneously reshaping population distribution as people seek more affordable living options. The paradox of rising rents alongside unattainable homeownership is pushing more Americans toward long-term renting situations that were once considered temporary.Despite these affordability hurdles, February 2025 home prices increased to a median of $403,000—up 2.7% year over year. What's particularly fascinating is where this growth is happening: smaller suburban markets are seeing appreciation while larger urban centers like Los Angeles and New York are experiencing noticeable price declines. This geographic divergence highlights a migration pattern driven by value-seeking buyers who want more space for their money. Meanwhile, mortgage rates continue their volatile journey, currently sitting around 6.9% for 30-year fixed loans after fluctuating with the 10-year Treasury yield. For prospective buyers, the timing question becomes increasingly critical as rates threaten to climb higher.Want to navigate these complex market conditions and build wealth through real estate?

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

Over the past five years, rents in nearly every major U.S. city have risen faster than wages. In New York City, rent surged seven times faster than wages last year. But this spike isn’t confined to the Big Apple. Later in this episode: GE's three-way split is the end of an era. Also: the WNBA pay gap, and the rebranding of an iconic Midwestern frozen-food delivery service.
