Season 6, Episode 214 of Boroughs & Burbs takes us inside one of the most coveted luxury markets in the world with “Billionaire's Triangle.” Joined by Tara West and Drew Backoff of Douglas Elliman, we explore the rarefied pocket where Palm Beach, Jupiter Island, and surrounding enclaves converge to attract ultra-high-net-worth buyers from across the globe. What defines this market beyond price? Who is buying, and why now? Tara and Drew share insights into privacy, waterfront scarcity, lifestyle drivers, and the subtle differences that make each corner of the triangle unique. From legacy estates to new development and off-market opportunities, this episode breaks down how wealth, location, and timing intersect in one of America's most exclusive real estate corridors.

In Episode 213, The Mortgage Machine, we're joined by three insiders: Rick Coyle, who spent his career at Freddie Mac; Tony Lucente, formerly in Freddie Mac's credit division; and Jeff Farrell, who worked in Freddie Mac's affordable housing group. Together, they unpack how Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac helped make homeownership more accessible in the U.S. than anywhere else, the role they play in stabilizing mortgage markets, and what they've learned about banks, borrowers, and risk.

While many travelers to New York City envision Manhattan's popular landmarks, NYC is composed of five unique and culture-rich boroughs.We'll give a brief overview of each borough and dive into some important NY terminology to help you have a smoother exploration of the city.The five boroughs of New York City are:ManhattanQueensBrooklynThe BronxStaten IslandEach of the five boroughs in New York City has unique offerings, cultures, and history. But first, let's define 'borough'.What is a Borough?In 1898, the term borough was adopted to describe a form of governmental administration for each of the five fundamental constituent parts of the newly consolidated city. So while each borough has some of its own governance, its power is inferior to the authority of the government of the City of New York.Before 1898, each borough (mostly) was seen more as a county and did not fall within the city of New York. Interestingly, each borough is also its own county.The boroughs aren't autonomous cities within a city, but rather administrative divisions of a single municipal government. It explains why, for example, the Mayor of NYC has authority over all five boroughs, and why there's one unified city budget, police department (NYPD), etc., even though each borough has its own Borough President and some local administrative functions.In today's terms, a borough is one of the five distinct geographic regions of New York City including:ManhattanQueensBrooklynThe BronxStaten IslandEach borough has multiple neighborhoods with distinct cultures and histories. We took to social media to get insights from borough residents, so you'll see their recommendations sprinkled throughout.See our full write-up on our website for links to places we mentioned (sorry, we can't fit it all in a podcast description).You'll Have to Check It Out - La Grande Boucherie in MidtownWant even more NYC insights? Sign up for our 100% free newsletter to access:Dozens of Google Maps lists arranged by cuisine and location50+ page NYC Navigation Guide covering getting to & from airports, taking the subway & moreWeekly insights on top spots, upcoming events, and must-know NYC tipsGet started here: ⁠⁠https://rebrand.ly/nyc-navigation-guide
