Animal shelters in the St. Louis region are facing unprecedented overcrowding as the number of surrendered and abandoned pets continues to grow. The Center for Animal Rescue and Enrichment of St. Louis reported a 64% increase in the amount of animals taken in between 2023 and 2024, and shelter staff are currently struggling to take care of more than 100 dogs in a facility that has capacity for 61. Unfortunately, they're not alone in their struggle. Leaders with CARE-STL, Gateway Pet Guardians in East St. Louis, and St. Louis County Pet Adoption Center share the reasons behind the crisis and what residents and lawmakers can do to help.

Welcome back to another full episode of the Couple Casuals Podcast!In this raw and unfiltered conversation, your host Stefano sits down with Elliot, fellow Canadian podcaster and host of The Right Call Podcast, who travelled all the way from Montreal to Toronto for this thought-provoking episode.Together, they break down the cultural, political, and economic divide between Canada's two biggest cities — exploring why Toronto has lost its soul, how Montreal still preserves its joie de vivre, and what these contrasts reveal about the future of Canada.Elliot reflects on his time living in Toronto years ago and how dramatically it has changed — from rampant homelessness and violent-crime spikes (up 55%) to a bureaucratic nightmare of housing costs and red tape. He contrasts that with Montreal's deep sense of community and social cohesion, explaining how Toronto's extreme multiculturalism has created a city of isolated tribes rather than a unified people .The two dive into hard-hitting national themes:- the collapse of Canada's housing market,- the immigration surge that's overwhelmed infrastructure,- and the growing voter apathy that's left everyday Canadians feeling unheard.Elliot doesn't hold back in criticizing Olivia Chow's leadership and the Liberal government's mass-immigration policies, arguing that decades of reckless decision-making have left Toronto on the brink. With nearly half of Toronto's population foreign-born and over 56% identifying as minorities, he asks a critical question: Has multiculturalism gone too far to unite the country?They also examine how policy failures at every level — federal, provincial, and municipal — have eroded Canada's middle class, crippled youth opportunity, and divided Canadians into tribal echo chambers.This episode dives deep into:- Why Toronto feels “soulless” compared to Montreal's community energy- How unchecked immigration is overwhelming Canada's systems- The cultural costs of political correctness and identity politics- The reality of corruption, bureaucracy, and government overreach- Why Canadians must re-embrace patriotism, faith, and common senseGrab a casual, lock in, and let's get into it.

Housing in Australia's cities is among the least affordable in the world. For decades, we have not built enough housing where people most want to live. A lack of well-located homes is dividing families and communities, and robs younger Australians of economic opportunity. But there is a case for optimism – provided we change planning laws to increase housing density in our major cities. On our latest podcast, Grattan housing experts Brendan Coates, Joey Moloney, and Matthew Bowes discuss their report More homes, better cities: Letting more people live where they want.

Ireland's housing crisis is likely to persist for at least another 15 years, according to the Department of Finance. The grim analysis was contained in Future Forty: A Fiscal and Economic Outlook to 2065. Shane discusses these findings with Dr Emma Howard, Economist at TU Dublin.

Department of Finance predicts Ireland's housing crisis could last another 15 years. Ciara and Shane discussed this further.

The Department of Finance has said that our housing crisis is likely to persist for at least another 15 years. Pent up demand will not be fully eliminated until at least 2040. However, this all depends on housing supply reaching sixty thousand a year by. But is this prediction that things will be better in fifteen years even realistic?Pat discusses this further with Lorcan Sirr, Senior Lecturer in Housing, TU Dublin and also Karl Deeter, Irish Mortgage Brokers.

Housing Minister James Browne has played down claims that it could take 15 years to end Ireland's housing crisis — even though the estimate comes from the Department of Finance. A new mapping exercise suggests the shortage could persist into the 2040s, until building finally catches up with demand.Joining Kieran Cuddihy to debate the government's response and what it means for homebuyers:-Fine Gael TD Naoise Ó Muirí-Social Democrats TD Sinéad Gibney-Executive Editor, Irish Independent Kevin Doyle-Solicitor & Planning Law Expert Fred LogueLater — Donald Trump's “worst nightmare” Zohran Mamdani makes history as New York City's first Muslim mayor and the youngest in a century.

In The Bahamas today, the word home carries tension. On one side, we hear that the country has over 25,000 vacant dwellings; on the other, there’s a growing cry that ordinary Bahamians can’t afford to live where they work and that young families are priced out of the market. So, what’s really happening? Our host Pamela Ferguson uncovers the truth behind the numbers with our economics team.

Here we go again with LA City Council's latest stroke of genius - nearly doubling construction worker minimum wages from $18 to $32.35 an hour while simultaneously crying about a housing shortage. Is anyone surprised that the same city council members who've never run a business think they can magically solve housing costs by making it twice as expensive to build? This brilliant plan covers mid-sized apartment buildings (10+ units, up to 85 feet) - exactly the housing LA desperately needs.We break down how this "workers of the world unite" mentality will drive construction companies straight out of LA to neighboring areas where labor costs half as much. Previous research already shows labor agreements increase construction costs and reduce apartment supply, but why let facts get in the way of good socialist virtue signaling? Remember when Seattle tried this with Starbucks workers? How did that work out when the stores started closing? What could possibly go wrong when you actively disincentivize the very industry you need most? Will LA's half-million new home mandate by 2029 become even more impossible?Let me know in the comments - should we just let them bump it to $50 an hour and watch the fireworks? Don't forget to subscribe for more government accountability insanity!

California is under pressure to build more homes — fast. In response to the state's housing mandates, San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie is pushing a major plan to upzone parts of the city's north and west sides, allowing for tens of thousands of new homes. But some residents are concerned that housing changes will do more harm than good. Scott and Marisa talk to Jason Elliott, former housing advisor to Gov. Gavin Newsom and now president of Versus Solutions, about what's driving the state's housing mandates and how upzoning could reshape San Francisco. Plus, they discuss California's legislation on artificial intelligence and how the government should regulate AI. Check out Political Breakdown's weekly newsletter, delivered straight to your inbox.

For many families in Australia, securing safe and affordable housing has become increasingly difficult. Some are turning to housing cooperatives (co-ops), but how exactly do they differ from traditional social housing? - Sa gitna ng nararanasang krisis sa pabahay sa Australia, housing cooperatives o co-ops ang nagiging alternatibo para sa ilang pamilyang nangangailangan at wala pang kakayahang bumili ng sariling tahanan. Pero paano ito naiiba sa public housing na alok ng gobyerno?

The way we build homes hasn't changed much in decades—and that's an issue. Gaetan Royer, CEO of Massive Canada, joins this episode of the REAL TIME podcast to explain how new technologies, such as prefab modular housing, can help address  Canada's housing crisis by improving the efficiency of home building.From how it saves builders and homebuyers money, to the benefits to the environment, communities, and jobs, host Shaun Majumder gets the low-down on everything prefab housing.

Affordable housing isn't just a buzzword; it's becoming a national crisis. In this solo episode, Ron Phillips breaks down the data from the Atlanta Fed's Home Ownership Affordability Monitor and reveals why the numbers tell a bigger story about government intervention, construction costs, and market imbalance. He explains how home prices, interest rates, taxes, and insurance interact to shape affordability, and why builders have stopped creating entry-level homes altogether. This episode cuts through the noise to show what's really behind the housing gap and what it means for investors.   WHAT YOU'LL LEARN FROM THIS EPISODE   How income, interest rates, and home prices combine to create unaffordability Why the “affordable” price band has nearly vanished across the U.S. Economic reasons why builders no longer construct sub-$300K homes Luxury home sales vs. entry-level housing  The impact of government regulation on construction costs and supply   RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE Why It's Nearly Impossible to Build Affordable Housing in America with Brian Mertz    CONNECT WITH US: If you need help with anything in real estate, please email invest@rpcinvest.com  Reach Ron: RP Capital Leave podcast reviews and topic suggestions: iTunes Subscribe and get additional info: Get Real Estate Success Facebook Group: Cash Flow Property Facebook Community Instagram: @ronphillips_ YouTube: RpCapital Get the latest trends and insights: RP Capital Newsletter

This is our second episode in collaboration with the ‘Where is Urban Politics?' hybrid seminar series hosted by the University of Groningen in the Netherlands between 2024-2026. This episode ponders urgent issues on (re)politicizing housing across Europe. The first speaker is Josh Ryan-Collins, who talks about the financialisation of housing, drivers, outcomes and options for reform from a United Kingdom perspective. Following his talk, Dirk Benzemer responses from his research perspective. Josh ponders on the current housing affordability and wealth inequality crisis. He argues that supply side reforms, which means increasing the amount of housing, will not be sufficient to ameliorate the housing crisis. Beyond this, he sees crucial responses needed in breaking the powerful feedback cycle between depth and wealth driven financial flows and house prices and reducing the potential for rent extraction from home ownership. Dirk Bezemer begins from the question ‘Roof or real estate?' to go through counter arguments he has encountered in Dutch political and public debates to which he is connected for many years. We hope you enjoy the episode!

Many aspiring homeowners have been facing multiple challenges. The lack of housing and high costs have left people with no other choice but to look for more affordable housing in different areas across the country. This, however, also has its challenges. One of the major factors limiting potential homeowners are ‘Local Needs'.‘Local Needs' are where a person cannot build a property if they do not have a local need in that area. Should this be the case, or should it be scrapped to tackle the housing crisis?To discuss, Andrea is joined by Laura Nolan, Professional Dancer from Dancing with the Stars, her partner Matthew McNabb, Town Planner Derek Whyte, Clement Herron from Clement Herron Real Estate and former IFA Deputy, Brian Rushe.

Twenty years after a Bloomberg era rezoning transformed Greenpoint's waterfront, the neighborhood stands as a case study in both growth and displacement. As housing costs dominate the mayoral race, WNYC's David Brand reports on how the lessons from Greenpoint's boom are shaping the city's next big housing debate.

All the drama around inclusionary zoning is back and bigger than ever. Mayor Ed Gainey might even veto an affordable housing bill he's been pushing for over a year. Pittsburgh International Airport “can't accommodate” a controversial video from Trump's Department of Homeland Security, and its officials are preparing for the new terminal's big reveal — including a lot of help from a bunch of “celebrity personas” like PA's own Taylor Swift.

In her latest poetry collection, “Wellwater,” Canadian poet Karen Solie takes a hard look at climate grief and economic anxiety. Her opening poem, “Basement Suite,” was inspired by short-term rentals and precarious living arrangements. But for Karen, the role of poetry isn't about finding the answers to big questions — it's about honouring our curiosity with the hope that we can eventually find new ways forward. She joins Tom Power to talk about her new book and she reads a few poems for us as well.Fill out our listener survey here. We appreciate your input!

Chuck Marohn of Strong Towns joins me in the studio to dive deeply into the world of housing finance and housing policy, fresh on the heels of his book, Escaping the Housing Trap: The Strong Towns Response to the Housing Crisis. For an architect and engineer to dive into this world might seem anathema to economists, but we go there anyway. The topics range from the thirty year mortgage and its distortions on the housing market to yield curve control to how social trust impacts the whole conversation. And we ask “do we actually have enough housing?” Coming soon I'll have an episode about Leon Krier and his impact on so many discussions for architecture, planning and design today, but for now Chuck and I talk about one aspect of his ideas: height limits. Naturally, we focus on how that plays out in Washington, D.C.Find more content on The Messy City on Kevin's Substack page.Music notes: all songs by low standards, ca. 2010. Videos here.

Synopsis:  As concerns about rolled-back protections grow louder, whistleblowers at HUD have risked it all by going public with allegations that paint a stark picture of systematic regression on equality under the law.This show is made possible by you! To become a sustaining member go to LauraFlanders.org/donateDescription:  Housing discrimination is illegal in the U.S., but every year, the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) receives thousands of complaints from individuals who believe they are not being treated fairly because of their race, religion, disability and other protected classes. HUD is one of the only free resources available to Americans facing housing discrimination, but a shocking new whistleblower complaint letter released on Monday, September 29, 2025 says the agency is in crisis. Staff was slashed by 70% since Donald Trump took office, some civil rights cases have been abandoned, and political appointees are allegedly overriding legal findings to allow discrimination. These are just some of the claims in the formal complaint letter, which has now been filed through U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren's office and taken to the press. In this conversation, Laura Flanders speaks to two of the four whistleblowers, HUD civil rights fair housing attorneys, to find out what this story means for civil rights and why they're speaking out now.

Christine Quinn is a familiar name to anyone who follows New York City politics. A former Speaker of the City Council and 2013 mayoral candidate, she now serves as the president and CEO of WIN (Women In Need), the city's largest provider of shelter and supportive housing for families. Quinn joined Errol to discuss the impact of the federal government shutdown, Trump's so-called “Big Beautiful Bill” and what the city's next mayor must do to address the housing crisis. She highlighted WIN's work in providing both emergency shelter and permanent supportive housing, and underscored the challenges facing families, from eviction and low-wage jobs to domestic violence, that continue to drive homelessness in the city.

Nashville has a cost of living crisis. Less than 9% of Nashvillians can afford a typical home in Nashville. It's even worse for minorities. Less than 1% of Black and Brown communities can afford a typical home. The crisis has been exacerbated by our city's zoning code which limits affordable and middle income housing. There's a new push by the Planning Department to amend it. The enthusiasm comes after the recent release of Nashville's Unified Housing Strategy. The document outlines code reforms addressing affordability. In this episode of Climbing the Charts, Angie Lawless and Brandon Miller sit down with Metro Nashville's Director of Housing Angela Hubbard to understand Nashville's Unified Housing Strategy and how it could be implemented.

Trump issued an executive order last week saying he was directing the federal government to “a national strategy to investigate and disrupt networks, entities, and organizations that foment political violence ..." He and his administration have maintained that political violence and domestic terrorism in the U.S. comes from a vast network left and progressive non-profits, donors, foundations, etc. Furthermore, they are mobilizing the federal government to crack down on this "vast network." This is despite the fact that most political violence with fatalities in the U.S. comes from people identified as "right" or "far right." In fact, studies show over 75% of political violence is committed by right wingers. (A Dept. of Justice (DOJ) study showed the prevalence of political violence on the far right, and the Trump administration took down the study from DOJ's website for stating this very fact.) Notable examples include the 2015 mass shooting at a black church in Charleston, SC, the 2018 mass shooting at the Tree of Life synagogue, the storming and riot of the U.S. Capitol on Jan 6th, 2021 and, of course, the Oklahoma City bombing in 1995--the deadliest act of domestic terrorism in the United States taking 168 lives. In our latest, we talk about how the violence isn't a both sides issue, but instead one of ruling class repression. We discuss history, current events and lots of facts and studies. We discuss how political violence carried out against leftists, progressives or liberals is a reaction to equality and justice done in the interests of the ruling class (whether they want it or not is irrelevant).We're living in harrowing times and being as informed and educated as possible is more important now than ever. ------------------Outro- "Green and Red Blues" by Moody

LightSpeed VT: https://www.lightspeedvt.com/ Dropping Bombs Podcast: https://www.droppingbombs.com/ In this episode of Dropping Bombs, I sit down with legacy-level developer Karl Gorman, a former corporate finance exec who walked away from a 7-figure salary to tackle America's housing crisis head-on—and make bank while doing it. From turning vacant city lots into modular homes in 90 days to getting mayors to hand over land for FREE, Karl's cracked the code on affordable housing at scale—dropping $500M in construction across Cleveland, Detroit, and Sacramento, all while giving working-class families the shot at homeownership with $0 down and 12% equity built-in. Karl breaks down how he's shrinking the wealth gap—like Trump's mastery of accelerated depreciation to stack billions while everyday folks get locked out—why he tells hedge funds to kick rocks, and how he's paying investors double-digit returns with no risk of lawsuits, fires, or foreclosures—because he structured the entire fund so they only collect the cash, not the chaos. Plus: why realtors stay broke, how he's cloning himself to build in every city, and why corporate America should be worried—because this isn't just business, it's a movement. Think you know real estate? Karl's blueprint rewrites the rules.
