A hundred years ago, people in small towns were building things that still stop us in our tracks. Two-story brick shops on the corner of Main and Commerce. Sturdy. Modest. Enduring. And beautiful.So the question is: what changed?I joined Geoff Graham on his Yeoman podcast, alongside Jaime Izurieta and Saifedean Ammous (author of The Bitcoin Standard), to try and unpack that question.We talk about why the small towns of the early 1900s could build beautiful things without credentialed architects, starchitects, or REIT funding... and why today, with all our global supply chains and five-star consultants, we mostly build disposable boxes.Turns out, there's a connection between money, time preference, and architecture. And when the money got funny, everything else started to crack too – our neighborhoods, our supply chains, even our standards for beauty.It's a wide-ranging conversation that touches on architecture, monetary policy, code creep, and how the over-financialization of everything is eroding our ability to build for the long haul.Take a listen if you've ever wondered why your grandparents' post office looks better than your city's new civic center.CHAPTERS00:00 The Changing Landscape of Building and Time Preference02:51 Exploring the Intersection of Money and Architecture05:57 Historical Context: Building in Early 20th Century America09:01 The Role of Local Materials and Community in Architecture11:54 Understanding Time Preference and Its Impact on Building15:09 The Influence of Monetary Policy on Architectural Beauty17:50 The Shift from Hard Money to Inflationary Currency21:03 Regulatory Challenges and Their Impact on Construction23:57 The Disparity Between Wealth and Money26:56 The Future of Architecture in an Inflationary Economy40:47 Innovative Window Design and Egress Solutions41:32 The Rising Cost of Housing and Inflation's Impact42:32 Housing as a Store of Value45:18 The Competition for Homeownership47:26 Regulatory Challenges in Housing Production50:47 The Complexity of Modern Building Standards52:43 Energy Efficiency and Building Costs53:43 Inflation and Environmental Concerns56:29 The Future of Energy Production01:01:20 The Role of Nuclear Energy01:03:03 The Case for Sound Money and Bitcoin01:12:14 The Path to a Low Time Preference WorldCONNECT WITH THE GUESTSGeoff Graham: Host of the Yeoman Podcast, real estate developerYeoman Podcast Website: https://graham.dev/yeoman/Jaime Izurieta Varela: Architect, developer, urbanistwww.storefrontmastery.com https://x.com/izurietavarea https://www.linkedin.com/in/izurietavarea/ https://www.instagram.com/storefrontmastery/ https://www.facebook.com/public/Jaime-Izurieta/ Book: Mainstreet Mavericks Saifedean Ammous: Economist, Bitcoin advocate, authorWebsite: https://saifedean.com/Twitter (X): @saifedeanInstagram: @saifedeanPodcast: saifedean.com/podcastCourses: saifedean.com/coursesMENTIONED RESOURCESThe Bitcoin Standard: The Decentralized Alternative to Central Banking https://saifedean.com/the-bitcoin-standardThe Fiat Standard: The Debt Slavery Alternative to Human Civilization https://saifedean.com/the-fiat-standardCONNECT WITH AUSTIN TUNNELLNewsletter: https://playbook.buildingculture.com/ https://www.instagram.com/austintunnell/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/austin-tunnell-2a41894a/ https://twitter.com/AustinTunnellCONNECT WITH BUILDING CULTUREhttps://www.buildingculture.com/ https://www.instagram.com/buildingculture/ https://twitter.com/build_culture https://www.facebook.com/BuildCulture/ SPONSORSThank you so much to the sponsors of The Building Culture Podcast!Sierra Pacific Windows: https://www.sierrapacificwindows.com/ One Source Windows: https://onesourcewindows.com/

They've surveyed one million homeowners with their customer satisfaction surveying tool, have 2,000 homebuilders as customers and have 27 employees.
