In this episode of The Stump, Rod Fleck joins us. Rod is the City Attorney and City Planner for the City of Forks, Washington. There is a lot more to Forks than vampires and rain. Rod and I talk about his history with the city and his engagement with the management of trust lands by the Department of Natural Resources. While Forks is not a direct recipient of revenue from managing these trust lands, they have been an integral part of Forks and the “West End” of Clallam County. The Parks and Recreation District, the Quillayute Valley School District (schools serving Forks and the surrounding area), the local hospital, and the fire district are among the beneficiaries of trust land management in the area. Not to mention the importance of the jobs that accompany active forest management. Because of this, for nearly 30 years, Rod has been a strong advocate for Forks when it comes to DNR management. Rod is also a history teacher at the local branch of Peninsula College. Not to mention a wealth of knowledge and history of the policy work regarding trust lands in Clallam County and across much of the state. If you are in Forks, make sure to stop by the visitor center and the Forks Timber Museum located on the south end of town. We did have a few technical difficulties during the recording of this episode. So please excuse the few audio glitches where an unstable internet connection got the better of us. And if you are watching it on YouTube, we lost video connection with Forks partway through.

In Part 2 of Flanigan's Eco-Logic - Climate Resolve Series, Ted speaks with Enrique Huerta, Legislative Director at Climate Resolve. Enrique brings strong skills in policy analysis and collaboration-building to the organization, focusing on climate change, adaptation, and resilience to champion equitable climate solutions.He has an undergraduate degree in Urban and Regional Planning and an advanced degree in Regenerative Studies from Cal Poly Pomona. Prior to joining Climate Resolve, Enrique helped pass several County measures and state propositions including Measures M, A and Proposition 68. Enrique also brings a wealth of experience advocating for historically marginalized communities through his work as a community green space organizer. He gained useful analytic tools assessing the interplay between local, regional and state policy while working as a city planner for the City of South Gate. As the Legislative Director at Climate Resolve, Enrique forms strategic partnerships with other statewide organizations, cultivating relationships to move legislation. He is a master of building collaborations, doing the work on the ground, knocking on legislators' doors, often with parties who have different agendae, bringing in potential coalition partners to the state capitol to advocate on behalf of extreme heat and the need to adapt to this rising threat.He and Ted discuss Climate Resolve's extreme heat bill, which is one of the few that actually looks to help marginalized communities adapt today and focuses on societal fixes. Enrique shares how his experience of community organizing opened his eyes to the resilience that lots of these communities have, and how community cohesion is already in place - and often women led.

Black Rock City is a temporary metropolis of  80,000 people who inhabit 1,600 theme camps and support camps. That means nine out of 10 participants' plans are coordinated by the Placement team — a handful of dedicated staff who decide which camps go where, and why. This year-round process is an art and a science that takes many factors into consideration — from city dynamics, to campers' Radical Self-expressions.As Burning Man Project's Associate Director of City Planning, Bryant Tan manages the Placement team, and oversees the city's annual planning and placement process. Naturally, questions about Burning Man lead to more questions.How do we place like-minded folks together for harmony, not monotony?How are resources shared between camps in this new era?Can you tell me how to get to Center Camp Plaza?What rules cultivate a spirit of lawlessness?Is bigger actually better?Let's go behind the scenes, under the clipboard, and beyond the map, exploring opportunities and obligations to iterate in this experimental city. It's a unique test case for urban planners and any humans who live in semi-civilized situations.“We don't want this just to be an Instagrammable bucket list thing. It's an experiment in community. We want people to show up a certain way, and so I try to just have reasonable conversations with people to help them learn what Burning Man is, and learn how to distribute leadership and responsibility, how to empower people to be their most creative selves.”BurningMan.org: Placement Team: LevelBurningMan.org: Placement ProcessHUBS: Humans Uniting for Better SustainabilityPEERS: Placement's Exploration and Engagement Research Squad LIVE.BURNINGMAN.ORG

American streets killed more than 7500 pedestrians in 2023, a 40-year high and climbing every year. Why? City planner and walkable cities advocate Jeff Speck joins us to explain that street design is largely to blame and how modest changes could be made to increase safety, as has been done in European cities with dramatic results. Jeff uses traffic studies to show how urban planning can affect driver speed, traffic congestion, safety, and walkability—all of which can improve and restore our sense of community in the places we live. With wonderful examples of the many cities where Jeff has completed projects, this episode will get you thinking about your neighborhood and what changes you would like to see, be it more trees, pleasanter streets, or simply fewer deaths.

Sydney-based government strategic planner and Perth expat Patrick Hay has some strong words to share on Perth's pathways - particularly those that disappear into nothingness. Traditionally a common obstacle to pedestrian travel, the multitude of paths to nowhere as well as the lack of shade and roundabouts "where the traffic flows forever" are all drawbacks to Perth's attraction to outsiders.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

For a lot of people, their only experience with city zoning is from playing SimCity. While SimCity may have introduced some aspects of zoning, it only scratches the surface of its real-world complexities. In this episode, we delve into the profound impact of zoning on our environment, including its role in promoting urban sprawl and car-dependent lifestyles that contribute to increased carbon emissions. Join us as we uncover the untold environmental consequences of zoning and discuss alternative approaches to create more sustainable and eco-friendly cities. It's time to reimagine the relationship between zoning and the environment for a greener future.Our guest on The Green Hour today is Nolan Gray, a distinguished expert in zoning and urban planning. I had the pleasure of meeting Nolan at an environmental conference in Salt Lake City, Utah, where he delivered a compelling talk on zoning and discussed his book titled "Arbitrary Lines: How Zoning Broke the American City and How to Fix It," which was published in 2022.Nolan Gray currently serves as the research director for California YIMBY (Yes In My Backyard) and has dedicated the majority of his career to the study of zoning. He brings a wealth of practical experience to the table, having worked as a planner in New York City. Nolan is also an Affiliated Scholar with the Mercatus Center at George Mason University, where he advises state and local policymakers on land-use policy.With a Ph.D. in urban planning underway at UCLA, Nolan is actively contributing to the academic understanding of urban planning. He is widely recognized for his insightful contributions, with his work appearing in prominent publications such as The Atlantic, Bloomberg CityLab, and The Guardian. In addition to his professional accomplishments, Nolan Gray is a member of the esteemed America's Future 1995 Society, further demonstrating his standing as a respected authority in his field.

Northfield City Administrator Ben Martig and City Planner Mikayla Schmidt talk about various projects in the city planning department including the Riverfront Enhancement Plan, Bridge Square plans, and more.

www.commsolutionsmn.com- Property ownership is a bedrock of American society. It has been ingrained in the fabric of our great country since before the beginning. Yet, government has found a way to confiscate our property, despite what the constitution says. Government came up with eminent domain as a way to take that property back. They would just take what they wanted, when they wanted it. Then laws were tightened after the Kelo v New London case at the Supreme Court. This was a terrible decision that set lawmakers to tightening up the laws around eminent domain. Minnesota statutes state that there are certain situations in which the government can take your land. What does it mean when a property is blighted? What is "public use"? Of course these are defined very vaguely, so that the government still has the greatest opportunity to get what they want. The growing fascism in this country (and the world) has brought government and business together to take from the people, so that we are completely dependent on them. It's time for local governments to take action to further protect property rights by narrowing the scope under when eminent domain is allowed. We've got some ideas on how to start. We also discuss how the schools are losing touch with all common sense. With the recent blizzard, Robbinsdale schools closed for three days way too early... but the State High School Girls Hockey Tournament went forward as planned that night. Ummmm...? Our schools are in trouble and they don't seem to be getting any better. They are drifting further into propaganda and losing their neighborhood feel. Somebody help? Have you checked out our Spotify playlist? At the beginning of each episode, Jason quotes some song lyrics that have to do with the subject matter of the podcast. Andrew never knows what they are, but now he can… and so can you! We've launched the Spotify playlist: “Community Solutions Music From the Podcast!” You can listen to Roundabout from Yes after listing to Episode 30 on Roundabouts… or kick back and enjoy a rocking playlist just for the thrill of it.

Ever wonder why you can't turn your backyard into a coin operated laundry or how to subdivide that family tract into the next great neighborhood development? When planning and zoning becomes a necessity, there is usually some economic reward at stake and things can get contentious. Whatever side of the decision you are on, our Planning & Zoning department is our first line of defense against “un–smart” growth. P&Z is responsible for maintaining the character of the city the way the majority believes it should be upheld. What I've learned is that when something gets denied, it has to be uncharacteristically bad for the city, like a daiquiri shop next to a church childcare facility. Even still, when something gets approved, it is not unlikely that there won't be sour feelings after the gavel drops. That's business folks, and we're going to explore further.We're explaining the why and the how with City of Zachary's own Planning & Zoning director, and we're going to meet an incredibly even-keeled professional. I'll attest that we are lucky to have him. Steven Villavaso of Villavaso and Associates, responsible for configuring our Unified Development Code said that Dixon is an absolute rockstar. Let's get to know him, as he is here in person with us in the booth. You can usually find him in his element on Tuesday nights at Planning, Zoning, and council meetings.Bryant Dixon has worked in the Urban Planning profession for over 8 years and specializes in zoning/land use planning, economic development, green infrastructure, and stormwater management. Before joining the City of Zachary, Bryant worked as a Sr. City Planner in the Environmental Affairs Department with the Sewerage and Water Board of New Orleans (SWBNO). Bryant has also worked as an Economic Development Analyst for Camoin Associates, an independent economic development firm in Saratoga Springs, New York, and a Sr. Planner with the Baton Rouge City-Parish Planning Commission.  Bryant is a graduate of Louisiana State University. There he received a B.A. in Anthropology with a concentration in Socio-cultural Anthropology and a second B.A. in Sociology with a concentration in Criminology. He received his Master's in Urban and Regional Planning from the University of New Orleans in 2014 where he specialized in Housing and Community Economic Development. Bryant is also currently a board member on The Water Collaborative of Greater New Orleans. And now he works right here in the Z.Support the show

Ginny met Steve at a wooden boat festival in the 1990's when he was selling his book, Three Years in a 12-Foot Boat. She thought something like, “The crazy things people do!” Fast forward to 2022 and retired City Planner, Stephen Ladd (who married Ginny) shares an amazing story of the 5-years they spent exploring the coasts and inland rivers of South America in a 21-foot yacht and gave birth to a baby during their travels. They sailed from Florida to South America following coasts and islands, then they got into the big river systems down there. Using those rivers they went up and over a big hump called the Guyana Massif, which is the highland between the Orinoco and Amazon watersheds. Then they went up and over another big hump: the high ground south of the Amazon and north of Argentina. Then they crossed that second hump again, coming back northwards into the Amazon, but following different rivers this time. Steve's approach to minimalist sailing, and the challenges of getting off the grid, should inspire anyone with big adventuring dreams and a small budget.

Today we're talking to D'Lynda Fischer, a city council member for the city of Petaluma, a community in northern California about 45 minutes north of the Golden Gate Bridge. But the truth is, this could be a conversation about any community across America, and many places in the world as well. This is a conversation about climate, about our environment and the steps we can take to make a difference in the world we live in. We talk about honoring the planet and paying attention to the choices we make.  It's about living intentionally so that our children, grandchildren and the generations to come have a place to call home. I learned so much during this conversation. For one thing, (and I'm slightly embarrassed to admit this) I've never actually been to a city council meeting, in this city or in any other of the many places I've lived. Perhaps I should have, because the more we know about what goes on at city hall, the more we can demand that our elected officials make decisions that benefit all of us. This conversation allowed things to come together for me, like the pieces of a puzzle that I'd struggled to understand. Does recycling really matter? Are paper straws better than plastic? It all felt so insignificant, but this conversation left me feeling energized, with actual steps I can take to help my community become carbon neutral and it left me wanting to learn more.D'Lynda grew up in a politically active family in the foothills of Anchorage, Alaska. She became an adult while living in New York City and migrated to Southern California where she had a successful career as an Urban Planning Consultant. She moved to Sonoma County nine years ago and worked as a consultant to non-profit environmental organizations. She is passionate about healthy food systems, connected communities, and being a leader in this changing world.To learn more about D'Lynda Fischer you can check out her website.To learn about the Cool City Challenge, check out coolpetaluma.org.Read Social Change 2.0 - A Blueprint for Reinventing our World by David Gershon.To learn more about Robert Maggio, the composer of our theme music, please check out his website.To learn more about the inspiration for this podcast, please check out Suzanne's memoir,  Estrellas - Moments of Illumination Along El Camino de Santiago. Find Suzanne on Social Mediahttps://www.suzannemaggio.comOn Instagram: @mamasuzannaOn Facebook: @suzannemaggioauthorOn Twitter: @bottomofninth

Shopping centres and malls like Limeridge Mall on the mountain are constantly searching for new opportunities that'll bring lots of attention and foot traffic their way. Opportunities like an arena on-site are surely a good idea, right? Guest: Brent Toderian, City Planner & Urbanist at TODERIAN UrbanWORKS - We've heard from Justin Trudeau that you won't see or hear the Liberals engaging in any nasty politics and yet we've seen him go against those exact words! Throughout the years, politics has gone hand-in-hand with name calling but as the political game has evolved throughout the years, how too has the ways of referring to one's competition? Guest: Stephen LeDrew, Lawyer, National Post Contributor and former president of the Liberal Party - The Beatles are famous for many things and as with most things that come with fame, they're the centre of many conspiracy theories. One of which is called "Paul is Dead" and it traces its roots back to September of 1969. Guest: Alan Cross, Music Journalist & host of 'The Ongoing History of New Music'
