In this episode, the podcast hosts dive into one of the most transformative housing policies in British Columbia's recent history—the Small Scale Multi-Unit Housing Initiative, introduced under Bill C44. This policy marks a significant shift in how housing developments are approached, aiming to address the critical shortage of homes in the Lower Mainland by automatically rezoning single-family and duplex lots to allow for higher-density developments. By opening up these properties for multi-unit construction, the policy seeks to tackle the housing crisis, create new investment opportunities, and provide much-needed jobs in the construction industry.However, the initiative has sparked heated debate. While it promises to inject new housing stock into the "missing middle" market, not all stakeholders are on board. Many neighborhoods have adopted a Not In My Backyard (NIMBY) stance, pushing back against the increased density and potential changes to their community dynamics. Some municipalities have leveraged the policy to increase Development Cost Charges (DCCs) and Amenity Contribution Charges (ACCs), which could make the process more expensive for developers, adding layers of complexity to what seems like a streamlined solution.To unpack the real opportunities and challenges presented by this policy, we are joined by James Livingston, founder of Lightwell Developments. As someone deeply embedded in the development space, James offers listeners a rare behind-the-scenes look at how companies like his are capitalizing on the deregulation. His firm specializes in working with homeowners who might not have the knowledge or the capital resources to redevelop their property on their own. James explains how Lightwell's business model allows these homeowners to partner with developers by turning their properties into multi-unit dwellings and potentially earning more than they would through a traditional home sale—without the hassle of open houses, showings, or putting their home on the market.The episode then shifts to the criteria Lightwell Developments uses when scouting properties. James breaks down what makes a lot ideal for redevelopment, from its size and location to zoning regulations and municipal cooperation. The discussion moves beyond the homeowner's perspective to explore the broader market implications of the Small Scale Multi-Unit Housing Initiative. While many developers, architects, and investors are enthusiastic about the changes, some argue that the policy doesn't go far enough to meet future density demands. James provides his take on the policy's strengths and limitations, discussing whether it can truly solve the housing crisis or if more drastic measures are needed to fulfill Metro Vancouver's long-term housing requirements.To round out the conversation, the episode addresses another key audience—INVESTORS who may not own property but want to invest capital. James outlines the financial mechanics of investing in his multi-unit development fund, from expected returns to minimum investment amounts and typical timeframes. He provides insights into how this growing sector offers attractive opportunities for investors looking to diversify their portfolios and tap into the high demand for new housing in the region. _________________________________ Contact Us To Book Your Private Consultation:

Two quick opening notes on this episode of the Eminent Americans podcast:* According to some post by some guy that I read somewhere once, most podcasts don't make it past 20 episodes. This is episode 21, which I take to mean not only that I'm more stubborn and self-absorbed than all those sub-21-ep scrubs—who have appropriately realized by episode 20 that the world doesn't need another podcaster in it—but that this is surely one of those tipping point situations where if you make it past 20, then the next few hundred are all but assured. So I'll be in your life for a while, or at least until you unsubscribe. * This is the second episode in a row in which I flamboyantly refuse to pay any attention to the text that my guest has selected as our topic of conversation. I should probably reconsider my approach to these State of the Discourse episodes. * The opening clip is from Beanie Siegel's “The Truth.”My guest on this episode of the podcast is James Livingston, professor emeritus of history at Rutgers and the author of, among other books, The World Turned Inside Out: American Thought and Culture at the End of the 20th Century and Origins of the Federal Reserve System: Money, Class, and Corporate Capitalism, 1890-1913. He's currently hard at work on a new book on pragmatism, provisionally titled The Intellectual Earthquake: How Pragmatism Changed the World, 1898-2008.The Mark Edmundson essay we discuss is “Truth Takes a Vacation: Trumpism and the American philosophical tradition.” James's response to it, published on his Substack newsletter Politics, Letters, Persons, is “Pragmatism: An Old Name for a New Kind of Nihilism?”Here's how the AI software Claude describes our conversation. It's basically accurate, but I feel as though it fails to capture the unique essence of our charm and brilliance.This conversation is between Daniel Oppenheimer, the host of the podcast Eminent Americans, and his guest James Livingston, an intellectual historian and professor emeritus at Rutgers University. The main focus of their discussion is pragmatism, the philosophical tradition associated with thinkers like William James, Charles Sanders Peirce, and Richard Rorty.Livingston argues that pragmatism is still very relevant to American culture and politics. He sees it as a perspective that dismantles traditional dualisms and binary oppositions in favor of more fluid, constructed notions of truth. A key pragmatist idea they discuss is that truths are made by humans rather than existing independently, and that facts cannot be separated from the values and purposes that shape them.They then apply this pragmatist lens to the current polarized political climate in the US. Livingston suggests that the contemporary right-wing, characterized by the "MAGA nation," is motivated by a desire to defend traditional hierarchies and values like male supremacy that are threatened by more egalitarian social changes. He and Oppenheimer debate whether directly confronting this regressive impulse is necessary and desirable.While Oppenheimer is skeptical that heightened politicization and polarization is productive, Livingston argues it is clarifying essential conflicts in American society around issues like racism and sexism. However, they agree that approaching political opponents with empathy and an attempt to understand the experiences and values motivating them is important.Throughout, they reflect on the role of intellectuals and the nature of progress. The conversation showcases the continued relevance of pragmatist ideas for making sense of truth, politics and social change in the United States today.

Is is possible to imagine a world without work? Or, at least, a world in which work is not romanticized, is not treated as defining element of social and individual achievement? James Livingston has predicted that we need to prepare for a postwork world, and David Graeber has challenged us to imagine alternatives to organization by bureaucracy, credit, and corporations. This episode features Livingston talking to Matt Seybold and Corey McCall about Graeber's posthumous book (The Dawn of Everything), the Great Resignation, QuitToks, Risk Shifts, and much more.

It is an incredible honor to have Marine legend and Medal of Honor recipient, Major General (Ret) James Livingston, on the show this week! Listening to him speak, you can tell that despite his age, he's just as tough as he was when his actions on the battlefield in Vietnam earned him the nation's highest decoration for valor in combat. In May of 1968, while serving as Commander, Co E, 2nd Bn, 4th Marines, General Livingston distinguished himself above and beyond the call of duty while leading his Marines in the Battle of Dai Do. Livingston led his men across open rice paddy in a brutal assault under intense enemy fire, to rescue a company of Marines trapped inside the village of Dai Do. His efforts would lead to relieving the pressure on the stranded company, and defeating heavy enemy counterattack. Livingston was painfully wounded three times during the battle, to the point where he could no longer walk, but he stayed on the battlefield until he was assured all of his fellow Marines were safe.
