He is launching Breaking Housing Matters as a novel means to solve the global housing crisis, one that is designed to address the impasses our current system of financing and policy has created over the last half century or more.

There are not enough affordable homes for all of the people who want to live in San Luis Obispo. At the same time, there seems to be a lot of empty commercial space. So why not just convert those empty storefronts to places where people can live? The answer is so complicated that it's going to take more than one episode to explain it. This is the first conversation in a series about how public policy and public input affect how cities make housing decisions. In this episode, I talk with Peter Brown, the director of Public Works for the City of Belmont, California, about the evolution of zoning laws. This is more of a homework assignment than a typical action item. The goal is to learn about zoning so you'll be ready when it's action time. Read the recent NYT article about this issue: "American Cities Have a Conversion Problem, and It's Not Just Offices" (gift link). Take a look at the zoning map and regulations for the City of SLO. Learn about the Housing Authority of San Luis Obispo (HASLO). Episode produced by Jordan Triebel. Music by Wes Bisheff. Follow Agenda Breakdown on Instagram for updates and action opportunities.

Happy New Year! This is the last in my series of “Best of” episodes I wanted to share with you a 2nd time during this holiday season. This past September, I met three powerful women who took on the recalcitrant bureaucrats in New York State and are changing their worlds and the future for their kids. It is an incredible story, and I'm delighted to share it with you again. I hope you have enjoyed these replays over the past few weeks. Next week, I'll be back with a brand new interview! Smokey Hollow was conceived by a parent who wanted to expand residential choices for her adult son who needs 24/7 support. In New York state, the group home model has years-long wait lists, and the individual and family have little choice in where and with whom the individual can live. That leaves a gaping hole in services for a vulnerable population with few viable options available to them. Created by Trish Albanese in collaboration with her son and other adults with intellectual/developmental disabilities (I/DD), Smokey Hollow will be a shared living community that meets the needs and wants of its residents. Prospective Smokey Hollow residents are the “inclusion generation”. They have grown up going to school and participating in activities with their typical peers. Now they want the same rights as their peers when it comes to their residential needs. Located in the Syracuse, NY area, Smokey Hollow will provide the flexibility to share staff with other residents when appropriate, and to lead lives of dignity and choice, encompassing friends, activities, work, and volunteer goals. Key Highlights: [00:01 - 08:29] Opening Segment • Trish introduces Smokey Hollow An organization focused on developing more accessible housing in New York The organization has been working to change state laws to allow for more accessible housing • How Smokey Hollow has developed a model of accessible housing that others can replicate [08:30 - 16:28] Smokey Hollow: A Community for People with Disabilities • Where the idea of creating Smokey Hollow comes from • The importance of having legislation in place to make the community permanent • Advocates should focus on their dream and what they believe is best for their loved ones [16:29 - 24:19] Moms Moving Mountains • Why Smokey Hollow feels more respected than it did with the prior administration • When Trish, Liz, and Marilyn believe the Smokey Hollow community will be opened They disclose where their sons are living now [24:20 - 31:36] Closing Segment • The New York state needs to take its accountability to those with disabilities further to fund accessible housing solutions • There is a need for philanthropic and foundation support for accessible housing initiatives Want to connect with Smokey Hollow?

If you thought a mattress in a box was cool, how about a one-bedroom house with nine-and-a-half-foot ceilings, complete with a fridge, stove, washer and dryer? What if your home in a box could ship on a standard flatbed, be assembled on-site in a few hours, and add your bed and sofa, and you are ready to live in it? Did I mention the price tag of $50,000? Paolo Tiramani is an inventor and a billionaire. Paolo has many patents and was one of the first to add wheels to suitcases and create a moveable workbench. In this episode, we talk about why innovation matters and his bold new venture Boxabl, which he believes will change the lives of billions of people worldwide for the better. Humanity and Planet Earth face many challenges, but I am optimistic that we can solve many by unleashing innovation that shatters the barriers of our minds and challenges the status quo. Carrie Freestone, an Economist at RBC, rounds out the program by talking about the housing boom that will need to happen in Canada to meet the needs of the immigrants moving here and the rise in single-household homes. You will find many fantastic lessons for entrepreneurs, innovators and inventors, small business owners, families who work together, and those willing to shatter the status quo. Enjoy!

Last show of the year!This Housing Week, Zeb and Kevin speak with Shane McGrath from Housing for the Aged Action Group (HAAG) about how COVID and related policies affected housing in 2021, including the end to the eviction moratorium and Coronavirus supplements for welfare recipients, a reflection of pervasive governmental inaction.

Brainard of the Fed is speaking at a crypto conference. Crypto has been demonstrating why it is not a currency recently—bitcoin could be rebranded “Weimarcoin” given the collapse in spending power and hyperinflation parallels. Central bank digital currencies, or the consequences of another bubble bursting might be suitable topics for Brainard. On the latter, too few people own crypto to create a negative wealth effect in the wider economy—in the US, house prices hitting a record high are far more important in terms of economic impact.

Well, we are up to Step 10 out of the 14 steps of your kid’s summer homework. So far, so good. Keep checking our workbook How To Explore Your College Options: A Workbook for High School Students for further detail and more examples (it’s still available at Amazon). Step 10 calls for your son or daughter to investigate on-campus housing options, which could make some difference in where to apply and where to enroll if you are planning for him or her to live in college housing. Some students, of course, will be commuting to campus, so these questions might seem less important; however, plans change, so housing is still worth a look--both freshman housing and upperclassman housing. By the way, there are some colleges where the majority of students live in campus housing well past the freshman year, including colleges that actually have a multiple-year housing requirement. What are all those colleges--and their students--thinking? So, send your son or daughter to each college’s website to answer Questions 28 through 31 on this topic. 1. Freshman Housing Requirement Question 28 asks students to check off whether each college on their LLCO (that, is, their Long List of College Options) requires freshmen to live in on-campus housing. Why would there be a freshman housing requirement, you might ask? Here’s what we wrote to students just like your son or daughter: Let us start by saying that we think you should live on campus as a freshman if at all possible, given whatever financial constraints your family has. As a matter of fact, many colleges actually require it--for both good and not-so-good reasons. A really good reason is that living together in campus housing (whether that means traditional dorms or residential “houses” or something else) does promote a kind of camaraderie among students that is hard to develop any other way. Living in close proximity to others in your same situation often provides a system of support and friendship that many kids at college want and need--whether that comes from studying late into the evening/morning together or eating together or walking back and forth to classes together or meeting each other’s friends and just hanging out together. Perhaps a not-so-good reason, though an understandable one from a college’s point of view, is that colleges need to fill those dorm rooms and bring in the revenue that comes from filling them. The importance of living on campus is similar to the importance of going away to college, in our opinion. Both provide you with a way to spread your wings in a relatively safe and protected environment before you are ready to be completely on your own. Living in campus housing requires you to figure out how to eat, study, do laundry, clean up, sleep enough, and manage money--without having to deal with the safety and transportation and utilities issues that come with off-campus housing and without the comparative ease of living at home. So, even if you are going to a college in your hometown or within commuting distance of home, try to live on campus--especially if you can afford it, but even if you need to use scholarship funds or loans to cover it. Why? Because it is an integral part of the college experience--especially if you are attending a college close to home. 2. Types of College Housing If you have visited any colleges so far in your search, you probably already know that not all residential facilities are created equal when it comes to attractiveness, comfort, convenience, supervision, and security. But prospective students should also remember to think about what residential life will be like not only as freshmen, but also as upperclassmen with more and/or different housing options, including apartments nearby, but off campus, and perhaps fraternity and sorority houses. The residential facilities that a college provides are usually well described--even bragged about--on a college’s website, can be seen on virtual campus tours on the website, and can certainly be seen firsthand on a college visit. College tours love to take visiting kids and parents to look at dorms, even when they are of the most ordinary kind. While we don’t think any student should choose a college because of its housing facilities, we do think it is reasonable to put housing in the scale when weighing choices, which might mean taking a college off his or her LLCO if the housing options seem terrible. Your son or daughter might expect to find at least these housing options in his or her research: Traditional college dorms, with long halls of double and single rooms and a huge bathroom shared by everyone on the hall, usually with upperclassmen serving as residential advisors to provide some level of supervision and support for students Apartment-style suites, with several bedrooms and a bathroom--and sometimes with a living area and a kitchen--for four to six or so students, usually with a residential advisor nearby Residential houses, which sponsor both social and academic activities for residents, often have one or two faculty families living with the students, often have their own eating facilities where everyone dines together, and have their own sense of community pride Many colleges have a mix of housing facilities, including off-campus apartment buildings owned and operated by the college. And then there are some colleges that do not offer housing at all--including many two-year community colleges--and that expect students to commute to campus. Questions 29 and 30 ask students to check off the types of housing that a college offers and, then, to jot down any interesting housing information, including any statistics about how many students live in campus housing and how long they stay. 3. Commuting to Campus When Marie and I worked at the high school we co-founded in Brooklyn, most of our students who went on to college ended up commuting to a college in one of the five boroughs of New York City. We understand what commuting is like, and we urge families to think about a few things that are sometimes overlooked. For example, if your son or daughter will be commuting, think about whether he or she would be using public transportation and, if so, how frequently those buses, trains, or subways run during the day and at night--and how late at night, if he or she is staying on campus to do a group project or to study at the library. Think about what traffic and parking would be like if he or she were driving a family car to the campus, including late at night. Think about what the commute would be like in bad weather. And don’t forget the cost of commuting as well--unless the college is within walking distance, of course. Questions 31 asks students to jot down what the commute would be like if that is in your family’s plans. Well, that’s it for housing. We are almost there. Join us next week for Step 11. It’s one that parents won’t want to miss. Find our books on Amazon!

Chris Spoke, Co-Founder of Housing Matters, joins us this week on the Morrison Report. Housing Matters is a community of urbanists, activists, and others working towards a growing dynamic and affordable Toronto. This episode dives into the Housing Matters initiative, 'Yes In My Backyard' (YIMBY), a departure from the 'Not In My Backyard' (NIMBY) movement. • Why Chris felt the need to start Housing Matters • How the 'Not in My Backyard' (NIMBY) movement affects Chris • Is NIMBY only a concern for millennials? • The reception of the Housing Matters organization • How large of a movement Chris feels they have • Do YIMBY groups exist elsewhere in North America? Do they have any connection to those groups? • What Chris has to say to those critics who feel that millennials should stop spending their money on Starbucks and Avocado Toast • What Chris would you like to see the leaders of our city do to increase the supply of housing • Can the millennials get the support of their boomer parents on this to impact more changes? • Housing Matters' next event
California Association of Realtors Chief Economist Leslie Appleton-Young discusses the state of inventory in the California housing market along with economists Oscar Wei and Jordan Levine. This is the inaugural Housing Matters Podcast for C.A.R. and the Center for California Real Estate.
2014 had so many was such a fun year on the podcast that we decided to put together a "best of" episode to recap everything. Going through everything was a fairly large task, but we came up with a few of the clips that we thought you would enjoy hearing again. Unfortunately, with so many episodes, some really great stuff got left out. But everything is listed on the podcast section of our blog, for you to go and revisit or listen for the very first time. We hope you enjoy a few of our favorite moments from this past year. From all of us at the Student Housing Matters blog, we hope you have a very happy holiday season!
Housing reform has been at the core of China's market economy and its success. Large scale demolition and relocation in urban China has visibly improved the lives of millions but also left hidden human wreckage at its wake. Domicide, violence, corruption, and arbitrary compensation have led to heightened housing dispute and persistent residents protest throughout Chinese cities in the past three decades. Exploring what else was demolished along with old neighborhoods and what else, other than highrises, has risen at their ruins, this project examines urban protesters and their evolving identities. At once victimized and empowered by the struggle, these resident protesters have collected and produced an impressive body of material to document their own experience in resisting demolition and pursuing justice. Their activities have helped reshape the political landscape from ground up. Based largely on oral history and with images from years of field research in China, the presentation addresses some of the key issues in the field of contemporary China studies, such as whether today's protesters are "rights conscious" or "rule conscious."The study is part of Qin Shao's forthcoming book, Shanghai Gone: Demolition and Defiance in a Chinese Megacity. Qin Shao is professor of history at The College of New Jersey and a visiting scholar at USC and visiting faculty member at UCLA. She has published on ancient Chinese statecraft, China's early urbanization effort, and the post-Mao reform in international journals and is the author of Culturing Modernity: the Nantong Model, 1890-1930. Qin Shao's research has been awarded various fellowships, including those from the Humboldt University in Berlin, the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Studies at Harvard University, the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars, the Chiang Ching-kuo Foundation, the American Council of Learned Societies, and the National Endowment for the Humanities. She has presented her work at the Harvard Law School and the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, among other institutes.
