Podcasts about inclusionary

Pittsburgh needs thousands of new homes to meet demand, and there's a lot of local politicking behind potential solutions. One idea? Inclusionary zoning, which either incentivizes or mandates that a percentage of units in new housing projects be priced affordably for lower income households. A handful of neighborhoods in Pittsburgh have already tried it, including over in Lawrenceville, where residents helped pass an IZ requirement in 2019.  Dave Breignan, executive director of Lawrenceville United, explains what he loves about IZ, what local leaders should understand about how it works, and which proposal he supports if inclusionary zoning ultimately expands to the rest of Pittsburgh. ICYMI: Yesterday we talked about two very different proposals being considered by the Pittsburgh Planning Commission. Please check it out!

Inclusionary zoning policies are commonly used to produce affordable housing and “social mix” in the U.S., but what about in Europe, where public housing and strong social welfare programs have historically met those needs? Anna Granath Hansson shares research on emerging inclusionary housing policies in the Scandinavian countries of Sweden, Norway, and Denmark.Show notes:Granath Hansson, A., Sørensen, J., Nordahl, B.

Inclusionary zoning policies use the market to produce affordable housing, but nothing comes for free. So who pays? Shane takes the guest seat to discuss his analysis of IZ in Los Angeles, making the case that it's not developers or high-income renters who bear the cost, but all renters — poor, middle income, and wealthy alike.Show notes:Phillips, S.

America is in the grip of a severe housing crisis. Tenants have seen rents rise 26 percent while home prices have soared by 47 percent since early 2020. Before the pandemic, there were 20 US states considered affordable for housing. Now there are none. And 21 million households—including half of all renters—pay more than one-third of their income on housing. Harvard Kennedy School Associate Professor Justin de Benedictis-Kessner and former Burlington, Vermont Mayor Miro Weinberger say that's because homebuilding hasn't kept up with demand. They say housing production is mired in a thicket of restrictive zoning regulations and local politics, a “veto-cracy” that allows established homeowners—sometimes even a single disgruntled neighbor—to block and stall new housing projects for years. Weinberger, a research fellow at the Taubman Institute for State and Local Politics, and de Benedictis-Kessner, whose research focuses on urban policy, say even well-intentioned ideas like so-called “inclusionary zoning” laws that encourage mixed-income housing development may also be contributing to the problem. They join PolicyCast host Ralph Ranalli to discuss how housing became a affordability nightmare for millions of people. During this episode, they offer policy ideas on how streamline the inefficient and often subjective ways home building projects are regulated and how to level the democratic playing field between established homeowners and people who need the housing that has yet to be built.Miro Weinberger's policy pecommendations:Remove subjective standards such as “neighborhood character” from housing approval processes in favor of objective, measurable ones.Loosen zoning restrictions that enforce suburban-style housing development in favor of creating denser, more urban environments that historically provided more housing and are popular today.Encourage leaders of municipal governments to take an active role in housing development, seeing themselves as developers taking an active role in more housing being built.Justin de Benedictis-Kessner's policy recommendations:Integrate housing policy with other related policies including transportation and economic development in a holistic way that drives across-the-board progress.Transfer approval power currently exercised by appointed boards and elected city councils to municipal housing and planning staff experts and empower them with objective standards. Justin de Benedictis-Kessner is an Associate Professor of Public Policy at the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University. His current research focuses on some of the most important policy areas that concern local governments, such as housing, transportation, policing, and economic development. His research also examines how citizens hold elected officials accountable, how representation translates the public's interests into policy via elections, and how people's policy opinions are formed and swayed.He also leads courses on urban politics and policy, including an experiential field lab that partners student teams with cities and towns to work on applied urban policy problems. His work has received the Clarence Stone Emerging Scholar Award and the Norton Long Young Scholar Award from the American Political Science Association. He earned his PhD from the Department of Political Science at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and his B.A. in Government and Psychology from the College of William & Mary.Miro Weinberger MPP ‘98 served as the Mayor of Burlington, Vermont, from 2012 to 2024. The longest-serving mayor in the city's history, Weinberger led significant initiatives that transformed Burlington, earning recognition for his leadership in sustainability, economic development, and public health. Under his stewardship Burlington became the first city in the United States to achieve 100 percent renewable energy status. His housing reforms quadrupled the rate of housing production, and his proactive approach to managing the COVID-19 pandemic helped keep Burlington's infection and death rates among the lowest in the country. Prior to becoming mayor, Weinberger co-founded The Hartland Group, a real estate development and consulting firm based in Burlington, Vermont, and completed $40 million in development projects, creating more than 200 homes across Vermont and New Hampshire. He holds a Master's in Public Policy and Urban Planning from HKS and an AB in American Studies and Environmental Studies from Yale University. Ralph Ranalli of the HKS Office of Communications and Public Affairs is the host, producer, and editor of HKS PolicyCast.

Cities have lived with exclusionary zoning for decades, if not generations. Is inclusionary zoning the answer? Inclusionary zoning, or IZ, requires developers to set aside a share of units in new buildings for low- or moderate-income households, seeking to increase the supply of affordable homes and integrate neighborhoods racially and socioeconomically. But how well does it accomplish these goals? This week we're joined by the Mercatus Center's Dr. Emily Hamilton to discuss her research on how IZ programs have impacted homebuilding and housing prices in the Washington, D.C. region, and the ironic reality that the success of inclusionary zoning relies on the continued existence of exclusionary zoning.

Dr. Cassie Martin In this episode, Diana interviews Dr. Cassie Martin, Executive Director of Special Education for the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction in Washington State. She was also the architect of the Inclusionary Practices Demonstration Sites Project, which is what our conversation was focused around. She talks about the 16 demonstration sites that highlight inclusionary practices, and why and how she and her team brought these schools into existence, and how they have transitioned into a movement, and now a network. Appreciative Inquiry, equity, social justice, and research-based inclusive practices have made her model successful with educators and students. Dr. Martin also discusses the technical pieces as well as adaptive pieces and relationships that must be addressed in order to be successful in inclusive schooling. My favorite quote from our time together is when Dr. Martin states that "Research tells us that when we follow the path of the most marginalized, and learn from them, then it removes barriers for every single one of the students in our schools."

These regulations are the blueprint that shapes not only our cities' skylines but also the lives of community members seeking affordable living options.As stakeholders in urban locales push for diverse housing solutions, zoning laws oftentimes act as gatekeepers. By incorporating provisions for higher-density housing and infill developments, municipalities can cultivate a more inclusive housing market. Conversely, stringent regulations tend to escalate construction costs, thereby limiting the proliferation of affordable housing units. Urban planning, when executed with foresight, can systematically lower barriers, enabling investors and developers to contribute to a buoyant and equitable housing...

On today's show we are talking about inclusionary zoning. This is a new initiative in many communities aimed at creating affordable housing.  The actual goal of inclusionary zoning varies from one community to another. In some locations there is a narrative that single family detached homes create an economic divide and therefore widen racial segregation that is implicit with economically segregated neighbourhoods. You won't find an affordable home in the middle of a neighborhood surrounded by luxury homes.  In other communities, the definition of inclusionary zoning is aimed at creating affordable housing by effectively taxing developers with burden of building a number of affordable units in exchange for the right to build a number of market rate homes. The theory is that by sprinkling affordable housing throughout the city as part of new development projects, you prevent the ghetto effect of lower income areas separated from the more affluent areas.  Inclusionary zoning programs vary widely in their implementation. In some cases, developers may also have the option  of  building  affordable units in other locations within a city, or they may be able to pay cash instead of developing affordable units. ---------- Host: Victor Menasce

You know when a patient complains about swallowing difficulty and you do an instrumental, but everything looks fine? Excuse my lack of eloquence here, but…what the heck? This is often referred to as functional dyspahgia, and in this week's episode of The Swallow Your Pride Podcast, I had the absolute joy of talking about it with Jaimie Anderson MS, CCC-SLP, BC-ANCDS. Together we discuss the challenges that come with significant swallowing complaints that don't align with swallow studies, what functional dysphagia is, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment options. Jaimie even throws in an analogy to help us better understand this mystery. Tune in and let us know what you think!

By 2050, we expect to have 70% of the world's population living in urban environments.Today, more than 1 billion people reside in informal settlements with the flexibility to engage in activities that are not possible in formal, planned parts of the city.  At the same time, they have precarious security of tenure.  Affordable, adequate and viable housing is both a public good and an economic asset, and so we cannot ignore the link with finance.  Inclusionary housing may require subsidies.  But it is not just about the cost of the property.As individuals, families and communities, our needs evolve over time.  Making safe, adequate, resource-efficient, well-located housing available is a huge opportunity.  In this episode we discuss how we can intentionally accommodate people in equitable, regenerative ways.We discuss switching to more climate-responsive, lower emitting, durable, locally-sourced materials, energy efficiency and electrification.  As Audree Grubesic explains, modular construction (where 75% of the building of a home is done at the factory),  robotics and 3D printing reduce waste, save time, use different materials, and allow for wholesale procurement and therefore housing that is attainable.  Co-operative models enable bulk land purchases and negotiations with private developers.  In the US, commercial space is being re-purposed, though this does come at a cost.For inclusive design, we must work with local communities and cultures - which are not necessarily homogenous or static - from the start.  As Thea Kurdi says, while over 1.3 billion people today live with some form of disability,  ‘universal design' will ensure housing more readily caters for the different needs of everybody, even as their circumstances change.Finally, housing does not exist in a vacuum - around it are streets, shops, transport, employment, culture, worship, healthcare, schools and other services that draw us to cities in the first place.  However, urban land and its development, says Steve Brooks, is expensive.  Densification and meeting our daily needs within walking distance are essential if we are to fit more people in the same area, and not squander space for private vehicles.  His experience with urban renewal in the challenging hilly environment of Kigali, Rwanda, is particularly fascinating!Speakers:Audree Grubesic, CEO & President, Modular Sure SiteSteve Brooks, Founder and Director of Architecture, Urban Planning ConstellationThea Kurdi, President, DesignABLE Environments

Rent prices have steadily risen for as long as we can remember. But, few of us would have ever expected the unimaginable rent hikes of 2020-2022. With major metros seeing double-digit year-over-year rent percentage bumps, residents were forced to throw a larger chunk of their income toward housing. Now, with higher rent prices than ever before, America has become “rent-burdened,” and a dangerous threshold has been crossed. What's causing this rise in rents? Are investors to blame? And what's a solution that could benefit builders, buyers, and renters? We've got Lu Chen and Thomas LaSalvia from Moody's Commercial Real Estate division to give us their findings. Lu and Thomas's team have been tracking rent prices carefully, logging which cities have seen the most significant price increases, which are becoming increasingly unaffordable, and what can be done about the problem. With a lack of housing supply and inflation eating away Americans' income, what can everyday investors like us do? Thankfully, there is a solution to this problem that could help curb unaffordability while presenting a profit for investors. Lu and Thomas go over exactly what would have to happen to return to a normalized, affordable housing market and what's hurting our efforts to get there. Plus, with rents becoming unaffordable for many young Americans, our Dave duo asks, “Is real estate still safe to invest in?” All that and more in this edition of BiggerNews!  In This Episode We Cover America's “rent-burdened” status and why prices have crossed a critical threshold  Real estate markets that have seen the largest increase in rent over the past three years Luxury housing and how its development is hurting the effort to increase affordable housing  Whether or not investors are to blame for rents skyrocketing  “Inclusionary housing” and how investors can fill the affordable housing need while making a profit  Whether or not real estate is still safe if renters get priced out of the market  And So Much More!

The demand for housing has outstripped supply for many years in Aotearoa, New Zealand. While successive governments have attempted to address the housing shortage, it remains a significant challenge. Overseas and local experience has taught us that opening up land for new supply does not automatically guarantee that affordable homes that meet people's needs will be built. In this episode, Vic Crockford is joined by former CEO of Community Housing Aotearoa, Scott Figenshow, and co-founder and managing director of New Ground Capital, Roy Thompson. All three have spent time living and working in Tāhuna/Queenstown. A successful inclusionary housing policy has helped hundreds of people into affordable homes via the Queenstown Lakes Community Housing Trust. Topics covered: - how inclusionary housing works - the impact of the Resource Management Act (RMA) reforms on inclusionary housing - the developer's perspective on affordable housing - overseas examples of inclusionary housing schemes. And more. Join us on Facebook and LinkedIn to continue the conversation. Community Housing Aotearoa Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/communityhousing.org.nz

Knowing how much of yourself you should share with your staff, students and families can be tricky. In this episode I chat with one of my favorite leaders, Ed Paris, principal of Avery Elementary School located in Dedham, Massachusetts as we discuss the importance of leaning into your most authentic self as a leader. We discuss the courage it takes, dangers that come from avoidance, and the most important factor when making tough decisions as a leader. You will not want to miss this conversation packed full of energy and passion.

How are we going to see the vision of a truly inclusionary world? In this episode of Science of Superpowers, Tonya Dawn Recla welcomes JWoW to discuss the concept of a genuinely inclusionary world. Tsunamic love will be born when you bring one set of forces of nature with another set of points of nature and their friends. Inclusivity is inclusion, focusing on diversity. However, the loophole is that diversity is specifically focused on ethnicity and doesn't have a broad enough spectrum across intersectional lines for us to get an entire global culture. Tune in to know more about this conversation and the process of curating the vision of a truly inclusionary world.

In today's episode, we're joined by special guest Jeremy Durham. Jeremy is the Executive Director of Boulder Housing Partners. BHP builds, owns, and manages affordable housing for low and moderate income residents. Alejandro Monarez, an Associate in our Denver office, hosts the conversation.

Inclusionary zoning is a policy born of good intentions.On its face, inclusionary zoning policies mandate that real estate developers allocate a certain percentage of new residential units to affordable housing. But do these policies achieve their intended aim?Emily Hamilton, a senior research fellow at the Mercatus Center, argues that inclusionary zoning may not be so effective after all.

In part one of our planning law episode with Isaac Tang, we discuss Toronto's new inclusionary zoning framework and its corresponding impact on addressing the affordable housing crisis. ✨ Read the full Episode Transcript HERE ✨ Learn more about the topics/cases on the Lawyered website ✨ Help to declutter the law on the Lawyered crowdfunding page

What is Inclusionary Zoning? Inclusionary zoning would allowed new development to set aside a certain amount of units, a market rate, and an affordable market level, so that individuals who live in Worcester are able to live in those new developments that are coming on into the city. This policy is in place in many other cities in Massachusetts like Boston and Malden and a way to help tackle our housing crisis. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/donttouchmypodcast/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/donttouchmypodcast/support

Cities have lived with exclusionary zoning for decades, if not generations. Is inclusionary zoning the answer? Inclusionary zoning, or IZ, requires developers to set aside a share of units in new buildings for low- or moderate-income households, seeking to increase the supply of affordable homes and integrate neighborhoods racially and socioeconomically. But how well does it accomplish these goals? This week we're joined by the Mercatus Center's Dr. Emily Hamilton to discuss her research on how IZ programs have impacted homebuilding and housing prices in the Washington, D.C. region, and the ironic reality that the success of inclusionary zoning relies on the continued existence of exclusionary zoning. Also, Shane and Mike rant about nexus studies.

What is inclusionary parenting? In this episode of the Reclamation, the Reclas: Justin, Tonya, and Neva probe deep into how parents should create an inclusive, loving, and healthy home for their children. Often, variables such as traditions, beliefs, and religion hinder parents from becoming fully accepting of their child. When a child feels unwelcome and excluded, hatred and other negativities could arise. Inclusionary parenting is beyond words important as it fosters an environment that includes you no matter who you are. Tune in to know why inclusionary parenting should be observed within the four walls of the home as a parent.

Acting City Manager Eric Batista on 267 Mill Street Debacle, Inclusionary Zoning, Drought, and More. (July 26th, 2022).

Dr. Aydin Nazmi, a social epidemiologist and professor at Cal Poly, gives us some insight into the latest COVID 19 variant BA.5. We'll take a look at the city of San Luis Obispo's Inclusionary Housing Ordinance. We'll explore the challenges of building affordable housing in Santa Barbara County. Also, we'll talk with Adam Savage about Silicon Valley's premier Comic Con.

On today's show we're talking about Inclusionary Zoning. This is a new term that you might not have heard before. Inclusionary zoning is code for building affordable housing. Many North American cities, including Vancouver, New York, San Francisco, and Boston have implemented inclusionary zoning. In fact there have been hundreds of inclusionary zoning initiatives around the world. The City of Toronto has just implemented their inclusionary zoning rules and adopted the principles in their official plan. According to the city, only 2% of the housing built in Toronto in the past 5 years has been affordable. That metric is not at all surprising given the cost of construction. As someone who underwrites these projects on a regular basis, there is no way to create new affordable housing without a builder losing money. Unfortunately, this is one of those initiatives that simply erects another barrier to development. The net result will be even fewer new units constructed which will ultimately reduce the supply without addressing the demand side of the equation. This is a selective tax on developers. It basically says, you rich developers are making too much money. So we're going to tax you by forcing you to include affordable units. But the problem with this thinking is that government can't force developers to undertake a project. If the project doesn't meet the financial metrics, then they'll go develop somewhere else where the numbers make sense. There is nothing forcing a developer to build in a specific location. If Toronto doesn't make sense, a large developer like Minto will go build in West Palm Beach. It's not like they haven't built in West Palm before. City councils are constrained by municipal boundaries. Developers are not. This seems like an initiative that is designed to get votes and win political points. Politicians want to be seen as doing something, anything even if the net result is zero. ----------------- Host: Victor Menasce email: podcast@victorjm.com

“If I were to build two identical buildings side by side within downtown Toronto, I would lose 17 percent of my gross floor space...or 17 additional percent, if I want to build a condo compared to if I want to build a fancy high-rise luxury apartment building.” – David Aizikov, Product Manager Data Services at Rentsync As new legislation passed in favor of Inclusionary Zoning in Toronto, we called on David Aizikov, Product Manager Data Services at Rentsync and Max Steinman, Interim CEO at Rentsync to discuss the new policy that is taking effect in 2022. The policy indicates that all new purpose-built rental and condo developments within the city of Toronto, above 100 units, will have to include a percentage of their gross floor space for inclusionary zoned units, depending on where they are located in the city. The impact of this policy is tremendous. Everyone from developers to renters, to vendors and suppliers within the rental housing industry across the GTA have been left with a lot of unanswered questions and concerns. In this episode, we look at the policy from all angles, the good, the bad, and the unknown, and make recommendations for those looking towards the future of building in Toronto. Key points from this episode: What this means for purpose-built rentals and condo developments moving forward How could the policy impact the type of product we see available on the market at those lower rates? How will properties ensure that renters are not taking advantage of the policy? What three distinct inclusionary zoning areas were identified and how they were determined How could this impact the cost of land in and outside of these areas  Why the policy makes purpose-built rentals more attractive versus condo developments  Recommendations to developers who have plans to build in the GTA in the foreseeable future The impact on marketing new developments located in inclusionary zoning areas If you liked this episode, be sure to subscribe or follow Sync or Swim wherever you get your podcasts, Apple, Google Podcasts, or Spotify.

Brian interviews Pamela Green. Pamela is a partner with the international law firm of Gowling WLG (Canada) LLP. She is the Head of the Commercial Real Estate and Lending groups at the Firm's Hamilton office, as well as sitting on the Firm's National Real Estate Executive. She talks about Inclusionary Zoning, a very controversial policy passed by City of Toronto that will force developers to build 10% and increasing affordable units in new developments in transit areas. Some critics think that the cost of this plan will be significantly higher prices for the rest of us making home ownership for all but the lucky few lottery winners, actually much more expensive.

Inclusionary zoning is a land use planning intervention that creates incentives or mandates for developers to provide a certain percentage of affordable housing dwellings. Inclusionary zoning is often cited as a solution to improve access to housing, but how much impact can this planning policy have?

Inclusionary zoning may be new to Toronto, but it's been applied successfully in many other major North American cities. With the supply of affordable housing down, this plan is expected to encourage market housing development and create more complete and equitable communities. This episode was originally aired in September 25, 2019

Today on the Southern California Real Estate Report we talk about the inclusionary housing requirement the City just voted on. Multi Family developers are having to build more low income housing, clarifying the gray areas that once held up developers. The down side is that the fees are high if you don’t build the housing required. New inclusionary law requires 10% of units affordable to family making 60% of the median income The median income in $86,000 for a family of 4 T he new fee structure is nearly double the old one for developers

Much of Santa Cruz’s affordable housing development is dependent on market-rate developers. In December, the Santa Cruz City Council will consider an increase in the number of affordable housing units that developers are required to build. It’s called an inclusionary rate, and the city council may raise it from 15% of new units to 20%. The city needs to set the rate high enough that it forces the maximum number of affordable units. But the rate shouldn’t be so high that the costs scare away developers. Likely the debate will come down to whether the city should do an economic study. We break down the value and shortcomings of economic studies and what’s at risk. We talk to a developer and discuss some economic factors that go into developers’ decisions to build.

Scott Figenshow will discuss, among other issues: 1. what “historically” New Zealanders have thought about affordable housing and previous approaches to the issue 2. the definition of “inclusionary zoning”, affordable housing and other key terms 3. if inclusionary housing were successfully implemented around the country, what could New Zealand look like in the next 10-20 years? 4. the biggest barriers to affordable housing? 5. what can councils do to increase affordable housing?

Minneapolis may seem like an unlikely place for the start of a revolution. But as City Councilor Lisa Bender explains, the Midwestern city has passed some of the most progressive housing policies and zoning reforms in the country. The measures, including banning single-family-only zoning, are based on one important idea: that when local government changes the rules of the game to allow more building, the public should get something back in the form of more affordability.

Those in the “Yes in My Backyard” or YIMBY movement have a simple goal: increase the supply of housing in cities across the US, and sky-high prices should come down. But they face a growing backlash from neighborhood activists fearful of gentrification and displacement. In California, a bill to fast-track more height and density near transit stations was derailed, even with a provision to require affordable homes through inclusionary housing, a land value capture mechanism. In this episode, Randy Shaw, a San Francisco-based tenants advocate and author of “Generation Priced Out: Who Gets to Live in Urban America,” talks about the multi-pronged efforts needed to confront the affordable housing crisis in cities nationwide.

In New Orleans, the median household income is roughly $36,000 a year, or less than $3,000 a month, after taxes. Meanwhile, the average cost of a one-bedroom apartment in the city is $1,100 per month and rising, And most working class New Orleanians are paying more than 50% of their monthly income on rent. Financial best practices tell us that you should not spend more than 30% of your monthly income on rent. In line with the nationwide trends, costs of living have been rising exponentially in New Orleans while wages have been stagnant for decades. Put all this together and it doesn’t take a ton of brainpower to see why New Orleans is and has been mired in an ever deepening housing crisis. And as usual, its impacts are hitting the poorest and brownest of our citizens the hardest. In this episode, we’re talking about the affordable housing crisis in New Orleans and we do a deep dive on “inclusionary zoning” - one strategy in our arsenal to combat it. As always, we also have your weekly activism updates. Tune in to this week’s episode of #ResistanceRadio!

Welcome to Finance & Fury, the ‘Say What Wednesday’ edition, where every week we tackle questions from you guys. This week the question comes from Jason; “My question is about investing with an Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) / Ethical investment focus. Given their increasing popularity, do these types of investments have the potential to make the world a better place? Historically how have ESG/ethical investments performed in Australia relative to the market and what factors should be considered before investing in this space?”   Today we discuss; What are Ethical Investments, and how do they work? Inclusionary v exclusionary managed funds; what types of companies are excluded when making their investment decisions, and what types of companies are included? The difference between ‘Supporting’ and ‘Forcing’ when it comes to the way managed funds impact the underlying investment companies’ practices and what this might mean for you as an investor. What to consider when buying these types of investments. Do they actually meet your definition of ethical? You’d be surprised at some of the companies that are actually ‘recognised as a responsible and ethical investment option’ How diversified are you? The performance of these (like all ETFs/managed funds) depends on the underlying performance of the companies that they buy. How have ethical investments performed for the past 12 months? Over the long term? The impact of thematic trends Historical returns   We talk about how these types of investments have the potential to make the world a better place, but the pros and cons are not what you might think. Supply drives demand Investment losses due to trying to change companies ‘for the better’   https://www.canstar.com.au/investor-hub/10-top-ethical-investment-funds/    

Town Planning Director Valerie Gingrich explains "inclusionary zoning" and how it could impact future developments in Wilmington.

This week: An 18-month review of the City of Portland inclusionary Housing Program leads the Housing Bureau to plan refinements to the program. The Portland City Council will vote Wednesday morning on an ordinance requiring owners of unreinforced masonry buildings to post signs stating the builds are unsafe.

At the end of July, Burnaby City Council unanimously passed a motion to develop a rental only zoning bylaw. According to Mayor Derek Corrigan, the new rental housing bylaw will allow “the replacement of current rental units” in new towers. But community activists fighting the loss of rental housing say it is too little, too late. We speak with Emily Luba of Alliance Against Displacement.

A recent bill in the state General Assembly sponsored by Sen. Marlon Kimpson of Charleston that would allow cities to require a percentage of apartment units of any new development to be priced as affordable housing, with below market rate rents specifically targeting residents with incomes below 80 percent of the local median (around $42,000 per year for a family of four in Spartanburg). The bill is a response to the rapidly developing downtowns of South Carolina cities like Charleston and Greenville and their corresponding rapid growth in rental rates, and a  in the Spartanburg Herald-Journal brought the issue local attention.   So, is inclusionary zoning something Spartanburg should consider? Is our downtown far enough along to worry that spiraling rents will threaten the socioeconomic diversity of our city's most important neighborhood? What does the overall housing landscape in Spartanburg look like in 2017 and what steps are we in the City taking to address housing issues? Today on the podcast, we're taking a deep dive on those questions with Assistant City Manager Chris Story and Neighborhood Services Director Martin Livingston.

So their parents are trapped in shelters, and the kids are trapped in foster care, and I just realized that it was sort of an underlying issue that was keeping families apart.” “[Kate] read a study that said that there isn’t a county anywhere in the nation that can fill all of its low-income-population need for affordable housing.” “Now, places are finding that they have affordability challenges even for moderate-income workers, and it’s just become a problem that affects “normal people” in “normal places,” so it’s not just the super-hot markets or the extremely low income anymore.” “There are, I’d say, ecological benefits, economic benefits, and social benefits. The ecological benefits are that if people have to drive really far from some very far out suburb into their job in the city, then, it’s polluting the air for all of us, and...
