In this episode of Infill,  listeners will meet Patrick Wolff, long-time YIMBY and candidate for Insurance Commissioner in CA. During the discussion, Sonja Trauss and Wolff unpack a wonky but critical issue: how California's broken insurance market is making the housing crisis even worse. Wolff explains how outdated regulations, climate-driven risk, and a dysfunctional approval process have turned insurance into a major barrier for Californians, and how policy threads through our housing supply and housing insurance problems.   They also dig into Wolff's vision for reform, including improving transparency, encouraging innovation in risk reduction, and restoring a healthy market. It's a deep dive into an overlooked but powerful lever for affordability, climate resilience, and better governance.

First Phosphate Corp. CEO John Passalacqua joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce new analytical results from the company's infill drill program completed in March at its Bégin-Lamarche property in Québec, highlighting continued growth and consistency across the project. The drilling campaign, which focused on the Mountain, North, and South zones, confirmed extensive and continuous phosphate mineralization throughout the existing horizon defined in the initial Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE). In addition, the program identified two new phosphate intercepts, further demonstrating the project's expansion potential. Passalacqua explained that both the previously known mineralized zones and the newly discovered intercepts have now been defined laterally and at depth, providing greater geological confidence and continuity across the deposit. These results are now being incorporated into an updated geological model, which is expected to be completed next month and will form the basis for a revised resource estimate. At the Mountain Zone, drilling returned several strong intervals exceeding 50 metres in length with grades above 10% P₂O₅, underscoring the scale and quality of the mineralization. The company also reported the presence of multiple massive apatite veins, with some reaching up to 2 metres in thickness, further supporting the project's potential as a significant phosphate resource. All samples from the program have been submitted for preparation and analysis using methods specifically suited for phosphate mineralization, ensuring accurate and reliable results as the company advances its understanding of the deposit. With consistent high-grade results, expanded mineralized zones, and an updated resource model on the horizon, First Phosphate is continuing to build momentum at Bégin-Lamarche as it advances toward its next phase of development. #proactiveinvestors #firstphosphatecorp #cse #phos #otcqx #frspf #frspf #BeginLamarche #QuebecMining #Mining #Phosphate #Quebec #ResourceDevelopment #Exploration #CriticalMinerals #Drilling #Commodities #BatteryMaterials

In this episode, Jared Jones joins us from California to share how he navigates one of the most expensive real estate markets in North America by specializing in "micro-infill" and "middle housing" developments. Jared explains how he identifies underutilized lots and transforms them into profitable, multi-unit assets, proving that you don't need massive acreage to create significant value. Jared breaks down the mechanics of his strategy, including how he leverages existing single-family residences to add ADUs (Accessory Dwelling Units) and how he stays ahead of shifting legislative trends to maximize land density. We dive into a specific case study where he turned a modest 780-square-foot house on a half-acre lot into a multi-unit project, highlighting the importance of understanding local zoning laws and the "missing middle" housing gap. Whether you are looking to scale your portfolio or find creative ways to add units to existing properties, this episode offers a masterclass in modern, high-impact real estate development.

San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan — the moderate Democrat, former tech entrepreneur, and Harvard-educated candidate for California governor — joins the Chuck Toddcast for a policy-dense conversation about what's wrong with California governance and how to fix it. Mahan argues that California has enormous resources but isn't delivering better results, and that the best form of resistance to Trumpism isn't performative opposition but good governance that actually improves people's lives. He walks through his record in San Jose — where he prioritized basic dignified shelter over expensive permanent housing and is now leading the state in reducing unsheltered homelessness — and makes the case that expensive housing is fundamentally a public policy failure driven by environmental review processes that needlessly slow construction. On AI, Mahan notes that Silicon Valley's libertarian tech culture has historically disengaged from civic life, but warns that AI is coming fast and California has both the responsibility and the opportunity to set guardrails that could become the national standard — particularly around transparency in government data use and serious law enforcement around data violations. The conversation gets politically candid as they navigate the tensions within the Democratic Party. Mahan argues that California Democrats can't blame anyone else for the state's governance failures, that every year revenue goes up faster than population growth yet outcomes get worse, and that highly organized interest groups end up wielding a veto over meaningful change. He opposes the proposed California billionaire wealth tax — not because he's defending billionaires, he insists, but because taxing the ultra-wealthy needs to happen at the federal level to avoid driving companies out of state — and disagrees with Newsom's handling of Proposition 36, arguing the state should force people into either treatment or jail rather than allowing open drug markets. On California's jungle primary, Mahan dismisses concerns about two Republican candidates advancing as overblown, pushes back on the idea he should run as an independent, and contends that Democrats need to update their platform and make government actually work rather than relying on "resistance warrior" posturing.

Chuck Todd asks the most uncomfortable question in American politics: is the country's current dysfunction a problem that can be resolved at the ballot box, or are we living through a pre-Civil War style pressure buildup where fundamental divisions keep getting papered over rather than addressed? He draws a striking parallel between today's hyperpartisan era — where both parties are simultaneously fighting each other and tearing themselves apart internally — and the post-Jackson period of American politics, when the country flipped back and forth between parties without ever resolving the underlying wound of slavery. He traces the arc from the Compromise of 1850, when Millard Fillmore believed he'd saved the republic, through the repeal of the Missouri Compromise that led to Bleeding Kansas, to James Buchanan handing Abraham Lincoln a country already on fire — and asks whether modern America can heal its divides without mass violence. He closes with Lincoln's insight that you couldn't solve the divide by managing it — but insists it doesn't have to take a hot civil war to resolve America's fractures, even if it increasingly feels like the country still isn't ready to do the hard work of actually turning the page. Then, San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan — the moderate Democrat, former tech entrepreneur, and Harvard-educated candidate for California governor — joins the Chuck Toddcast for a policy-dense conversation about what's wrong with California governance and how to fix it. Mahan argues that California has enormous resources but isn't delivering better results, and that the best form of resistance to Trumpism isn't performative opposition but good governance that actually improves people's lives. He walks through his record in San Jose — where he prioritized basic dignified shelter over expensive permanent housing and is now leading the state in reducing unsheltered homelessness — and makes the case that expensive housing is fundamentally a public policy failure driven by environmental review processes that needlessly slow construction. On AI, Mahan notes that Silicon Valley's libertarian tech culture has historically disengaged from civic life, but warns that AI is coming fast and California has both the responsibility and the opportunity to set guardrails that could become the national standard — particularly around transparency in government data use and serious law enforcement around data violations. The conversation gets politically candid as they navigate the tensions within the Democratic Party. Mahan argues that California Democrats can't blame anyone else for the state's governance failures, that every year revenue goes up faster than population growth yet outcomes get worse, and that highly organized interest groups end up wielding a veto over meaningful change.

On California's jungle primary, Mahan dismisses concerns about two Republican candidates advancing as overblown, pushes back on the idea he should run as an independent, and contends that Democrats need to update their platform and make government actually work rather than relying on "resistance warrior" posturing. Finally, Chuck hops into the ToddCast Time Machine to revisit the creation of NATO in 1949 and asks whether an alliance built on stability and values can survive a transactional president like Donald Trump, and answers listeners’ questions in the “Ask Chuck” segment.

Jack Henris, President and COO, and Shawn Campbell, CFO of Dakota Gold (NYSE American: DC), both join me for an exploration and development update, and key catalysts on tap for the balance of 2026 that will feed into updated economics on their Richmond Hill Oxide Heap Leach Gold Project.  We also outline the long-term optionality of their Maitland Gold Project, which will also being receiving some exploration work and maiden resource this year.  Both projects are located in the historic Homestake District of South Dakota, near existing mining infrastructure.   We start off reviewing more broad zones of mineralization that were announced over the last month from drilling at Richmond Hill. Jack highlighted that the grades being intercepted in the Northeast Project area contain much higher grades than the average overall resource grade. These results are encouraging their team to consider trade-off studies for the upcoming Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS), to potentially access these higher-grade areas in the first several years of mining. Expansion drill hole RH25C-310 intersected 5.00 grams per tonne gold (g/t Au) and 28.64 g/t silver (Ag) over 24.9 meters (124 gram meters Au), including 60.82 g/t Au and 61.68 g/t Ag over 1.5 meters (89 gram meters Au) and RH25C-348 intersected  2.46 g/t Au and 19.16 g/t Ag over 32.7 meters (81 gram meters Au). Expansion drill hole RH25C-359 intersected 3.14 grams per tonne gold (g/t Au) and 10.57 g/t silver (Ag) over 13.4 meters (42 gram meters Au), including 12.25 g/t Au and 20.10 g/t Ag over 1.5 meters (19 gram meters Au). Infill drill hole RH25C-328 intersected 2.49 g/t Au and 16.63 g/t Ag over 26.9 meters (67 gram meters Au), including 18.60 g/t Au and 41.20 g/t Ag over 1.8 meters (34 gram meters Au).   The 2026 Drill Campaign at Richmond Hill is underway and has completed 7,565 meters in 48 infill drill holes to date, representing one third of the total planned drilling for the year. The campaign includes 15,481 meters of drilling in 109 holes to follow up on the success from 2025 and consists of a combination of infill, expansion, geotechnical and mine plan drilling. The campaign is expected to be completed in the third quarter of this year, with a steady string of assay results anticipated over the balance of the year.   Richmond Hill is one of the largest undeveloped oxide gold resources in the United States being advanced by a junior mining company, with over 6 million ounces of gold and over 60 million ounces of silver moving along the pathway of development into heap leach production as soon as 2029. Principle Projects are on Private Land which equates to a positive attribute for efficient permitting with State and County organizations.       The Company will complete a Pre-Feasibility Study for Richmond Hill in the later part of 2026.   With the resource expansion drilling in the north intersecting significantly higher grades than resource cutoff. This resource drilling will be complimented with an extensive metallurgical test program, so that the Company will undertake a PFS with a focus on the first ten years of mining. This work will allow the Company to report reserves in 2026 and will inform the Feasibility Study to be completed in the first half of 2027.   The Company will launch a 2026 Maitland drill campaign of 5,578 meters (18,300 feet) in 44 holes.   The goal of this infill drilling, when combined with historic drill results, will be to define a maiden resource for the Tertiary-aged Unionville gold Zone.     Jack and Shawn highlight how these robust gold and silver resources, advantageous site infrastructure, ease of permitting on private land, and robust project economics, point to a future low-cost, long-life mining operation that can deliver high margins and generate meaningful revenues. We also review the potential for a rerating in valuation metrics when looked at through the lens of peer gold developer comparisons.     If you have any questions for Jack or Shawn regarding Dakota Gold, then please email those to me at Shad@kereport.com.   In full disclosure, Shad is a shareholder of Dakota Gold at the time of this recording, and may choose to buy or sell shares at any time.   Click here to follow the latest news from Dakota Gold   For more market commentary & interview summaries, subscribe to our Substacks:   The KE Report: https://kereport.substack.com/ Shad's resource market commentary: https://excelsiorprosperity.substack.com/     Investment disclaimer: This content is for informational and educational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice, an offer, or a solicitation to buy or sell any security.

Terry Lynch, CEO of Power Metallic Mines (TSX.V: PNPN) (OTCBB: PNPNF) (Frankfurt: IVV), joins me for a comprehensive exploration update catching up on multiple news releases from their fully funded 100,000-meter drill program at the polymetallic NISK Project in Quebec.  We discuss recent drill results at the Lion Zone, pending results still at the assay lab, but also review 4 key regional exploration targets of interest for 2026 drilling.  Additionally we touch upon the successful metallurgical testing recovery results, and other value drivers in Chilean Metals spin-out, and upcoming work at the Jabal Baudan Exploration License in Saudi Arabia.   Infill and expansion drilling has continued to define the high-grade Lion Zone in preparation for a 2026 Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE). The infill drilling on the Lion zone has shown that the interpreted zone geometry has high repeatability raising the confidence level for future mineral resource estimates to an Indicated Resource classification. Internally the Lion Zone drilling continues to surprise with very high-grade holes.   Hole PML-26-049, the first hole of the 2026 winter drill campaign, was drilled to support the modelled interpretation of the Lion zone near surface. It resulted in the best copper intersection to date on the Lion Zone, intersecting massive to brecciated Cu sulphides over 16.55m @ 10.08% Cu (15.11% CuEqRec1). This hole greatly expands the zone near surface that may be amenable to early open pit extraction in a possible future mining operation.   The exploration team has an ongoing six-rig drill program focused on expanding the mineralized around the Lion Zone and at depth testing the potential “Elephant Zone,” and also at Lion West, at the Tiger Deep Zone.  Additionally, new polymetallic targets are being refined from surveys at the Hydro Fold-Hinge Zone, there will be more step-out drilling focused on to connecting more of the 5.5km corridor and “Gap Area” between Lion and NISK Main.    There are still about 20,000+ meters of core being processed at the lab, and continued drilling that will keep going through April that should see a steady string of drill results coming back in over the next few months. All the drilling data from the end of last year and this year will be added to prior results into a new resource update and then PEA later in the year. Then 30,000+ additional meters that will be drilled throughout 2026, starting up again in the summer.   On January 19, 2026, Power Metallic Mines provided preliminary metallurgical results performed by SGS Canada Ltd at its laboratories based in Quebec City, QC, and Lakefield, ON, from representative samples of Lion zone mineralization sent over back in October 2025. An initial Lock Cycle Test within coarse grained chalcopyrite and cubanite returned a sulphide concentrate grading 25.8% Copper containing very high metal recoveries of Copper (98.9%), Palladium (93.9%), Platinum (96.8%), Gold (85.0%) and Silver (88.9%), exceeding Power Metallics most optimistic estimates for recovery prior to this test work.    On Feb. 19, 2026, Chilean Metals Inc (TSX.V: CMCG) commenced trading. Chilean Metals was created through a spin-out from Power Metallic Mines Inc. (TSXV: PNPN) (OTCBB: PNPNF) (Frankfurt: IVV1) in February 2025, At time of spin-out ownership was 50% Power Metallic and 50% the Power Metallic shareholders of record January 31 2025. The new Company was created with a focused exploration mandate and a project portfolio spanning two of the most geologically fertile mining belts in the Americas.   We also touched upon upcoming exploration at their 100% controlled Jabal Baudan Exploration License in Saudi Arabia: Power Metallic announced on June 16th that it was awarded the exploration license for the Jabal Baudan project in Saudi Arabia's Jabal Sayid Mineralized Belt. This historic milestone positions Power Metallic as one of the few foreign companies with mining concessions in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, having secured a successful bid in this prestigious licensing process.   If you have any questions for Terry regarding Power Metallic Mines, then please email them into me at Shad@kereport.com.   * In full disclosure, Shad is a shareholder of Power Metallic Mines at the time of this recording, and may choose to buy or sell shares at any time.   Click here to follow the latest news from Power Metallic Mines   For more market commentary & interview summaries, subscribe to our Substacks:   The KE Report: https://kereport.substack.com/ Shad's resource market commentary: https://excelsiorprosperity.substack.com/     Investment disclaimer: This content is for informational and educational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice, an offer, or a solicitation to buy or sell any security.

Northstar Gold Corp CEO Brian Fowler joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss results from a recently completed seven-hole, 1,204-metre Zone 2 definition drill program at the company's Cam Copper Mine located southeast of Kirkland Lake. Fowler explained the drilling campaign, completed in December, was designed to support preparation of a NI 43-101 Technical Report and Mineral Resource Estimate. The work will also contribute to an evaluation of Reasonable Prospects for Eventual Economic Extraction for the Cam Copper Surgical Mining Project being conducted by consortium partner Micon International Limited. Zone 2 definition drilling confirmed the presence of a high-grade polymetallic volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) system with pronounced down-plunge continuity and metal zonation consistent with a robust Besshi-type deposit. One highlight intercept included 3.05% copper, 5.9 grams per tonne gold, 22.9 grams per tonne silver and 0.45% molybdenum over 3.07 metres in drill hole CC-25-14, from 163.05 to 166.12 metres. This intercept is located approximately 50 metres down plunge from a previously reported high-grade intersection of 14.8% copper over 2.45 metres in hole CC-23-03. The results confirm a polymetallic copper-gold-silver-molybdenum VMS system that appears to increase in grade and thickness with depth, highlighting strong potential to expand the Zone 2 mineralized corridor. Infill drilling also indicates a steeply plunging feeder system characterized by stacked sulphide lenses and preserved metal zonation. Northstar plans to update the three-dimensional geological model of the Cam Copper system to refine exploration targets along the feeder corridor. The company also intends to conduct step-out drilling along the down-plunge extension of Zone 2 to further test the system's expansion potential. #proactiveinvestors #northstargoldcorp #cse #nsg #MiningNews #GoldDiscovery #CopperExploration #MillerProperty #VMSDeposit #CopperGoldSilver #PolymetallicMinerals #MiningUpdate #DrillResults #Zone2Expansion #ExplorationGrowth #NI43101 #MineralResources #FeederSystem #HighGradeCopper #MiningExploration #KirklandLake

The housing infill conversation at Edmonton's city council is particularly heated of late. In recent years, the city has made big changes to what can be built where, and neighbourhoods are starting to see the impacts of those bylaws. Housing has remained relatively affordable, but the look of some neighbourhoods has shifted — and some longtime residents are left feeling overlooked. The CBC's Colton Hutchinson takes over this episode and breaks down our infill feelings with reporter Morgan Black.

Meet Drake Warren, a 26-year-old running for Cook County Commissioner in Illinois. He is an engineer and housing advocate who fell in love with Chicago in college. Now, he wants to give back to the community he has made a home in by running for a local government office.

He breaks down what he thinks current leaders are missing in housing policy, and why more people must become familiar with local politics.

On this episode of Infill, YIMBY Law's Executive Director Sonja Trauss sits down with author Marc J. Dunkelman to tackle one of the biggest questions facing Americans today: why are we unable to build the infrastructure, housing, and public works that our communities so desperately need? Drawing from his new book, Why Nothing Works: Who Killed Progress — and How to Bring It Back, Dunkelman explores how even well-intentioned procedural reforms, community protections, and environmental reviews can create veto points that stall change, particularly in housing policy. They also delve into the shift in Americans' connectedness that has impacted our political landscape, what tactics and reforms could cut through the red tape, and how housing advocates can push for structural shifts that unlock homebuilding, transit, and equity. Finally, Marc and Sonja explore the similarities and differences between Dunkelman's thesis in Why Nothing Works and the thesis of Ezra Klein and Derek Thompson in their book, Abundance. In addition to highlighting the challenges of the bureaucratic processes we have now, Dunkelman also encourages readers and listeners of this episode to consider who should have the power to make decisions on behalf of communities. Tune in to hear more about the changes that Dunkelman has written about in American politics, and the historical context of the tension we are still feeling today as we navigate decisions about the architecture of power. Get Marc Dunkelman's newest book, Why Nothing Works, here: https://rjjulia.com/book/9781541700215Learn more about YIMBY Action: yimbyaction.org/joinFollow YIMBY Action on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/yimbyaction/Follow YIMBY Action on BlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/yimbyaction.bsky.socialFollow YIMBY Action on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/yimbyaction/

Van Hardimon, president of 3384 Residential, Inc. and Van Hardimon Homes, joins Host Carol Morgan on the Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio podcast to discuss how infill development supports housing affordability in metro Atlanta. 3384 Residential 3384 Residential delivers a comprehensive approach to residential construction across metro Atlanta, managing both for-profit and non-profit projects. From initial rezoning and land disturbance to entitlements, easements, vertical construction, dispositions and warranties, the company provides stakeholders and financial partners with a meticulously organized development schedule and consistent support. Hardimon said, “Our development partners can focus on what they do best, which is bringing financing to a project.” 3384 Residential is currently building in three categories: Nonprofit Development: The company collaborates with local nonprofit organizations in Atlanta to provide affordable housing, including projects with the Atlanta Neighborhood Development Partnership and the Atlanta Land Trust. Established Investor and Landowner Partnerships: 3384 Residential works with property owners to add value to their existing properties. Speculative Development: While 3384 Residential primarily takes on client-commissioned projects, 20% of its portfolio consists of speculative developments. These self-funded ventures proactively contribute vital new housing to the Atlanta area. Infill Housing & Affordability Hardimon describes attainable housing as being “within 10% of the assumed mortgage amount” in a particular area. These units are single-family homes, whether attached or detached,” in the “comfort zone” of prospective buyers. It's a reminder to buyers that, if they can rent and feel comfortable in an area, they can afford to own a home there. “With patience and professionalism, this [infill] approach will support housing affordability when the City of Atlanta aligns with our vision through rezoning and replant approvals.” For 3384 Residential, infill housing development begins with communication. Hardimon emphasizes the need to inform neighbors, whether by knocking on doors or handing out detailed construction schedules. Offering opportunities for community members to profit from the process is another way to ensure a smooth transition, such as clean-up crews or temporary security positions. “We're going to be belly-to-belly with them from anywhere from six months to one year, so it's very helpful for them to know what's coming,” said Hardimon. “As long as we break the ice on the front end, then we have an open channel of dialog throughout the construction process.” How does 3384 Residential keep costs down on infill housing projects? Land is one of the most significant costs in the development process. The lower the land price, the more flexibility builders have regarding timing, zoning, easements, entitlements, land disturbance permits and the final sales price. “The only way that we can achieve this is the ‘fast alone, far, together' mindset,” said Hardimon. “When everyone contributes to their areas of expertise, the project becomes highly cost effective, allowing for more flexibility and pricing, which makes homes more attainable.” When designing a home, there are three non-negotiables: kitchens, bathrooms and outdoor spaces. If a buyer doesn't love even one of those elements, they are unlikely to purchase the home. 3384 Residential maximizes its construction budget to support daily use and maximize those three core spaces. Single-family homes often feature fenced backyards that offer security and ample green space, while townhomes include elevated decks that encourage outdoor living. Hardimon explains that 3384 Residential builds for the full spectrum of home shoppers, not just one "typical" profile. Its portfolio serves everyone from first-time homebuyers eager to own to active adults seeking a fresh start. The company also prioritizes locations with str...
