Successful solutions require a holistic approach considering local conditions, transportation, and community needs.Links relevant to the conversationKevin's Wikipedia entry:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_KennonEconomics Explored episode w/ Natalie Rayment, YIMBY QLD on the Missing Middle in housing:https://economics-explained.simplecast.com/episodes/missing-middle-housing-other-urban-planning-issuesLumo Coffee promotion10% of Lumo Coffee's Seriously Healthy Organic Coffee.Website: https://www.lumocoffee.com/10EXPLOREDPromo code: 10EXPLORED Full transcripts are available a few days after the episode is first published at www.economicsexplored.com.

There's a shortage of affordable housing in the U.S. What can we do about it? The answer seems obvious: Build more houses, fast. Easier said than done. We fell behind on home-building after 2008 and never quite caught up. There's a shortage of labor. Restrictive zoning and archaic codes make it slow, expensive, or even impossible in some places, to come out of the ground with new homes. Our guest, Ivan Rupnik, has been thinking about this problem for years. He's got some ideas that could transform the construction industry and help get millions of new, high-quality homes built much faster.

Building homes in factories can save money and time – so why has prefabricated housing struggled to gain traction in the U.S.? Scandinavian countries use it for more than 40% of their housing production, whereas in the U.S. it's less than 4%, according to a 2023 report from consulting firm McKinsey. The Bay Area has produced some big winners and losers in the prefab space. In the past decade alone, several startups launched amid fanfare only to shutter and fail to deliver housing at scale. But, other developers and manufacturers are making a dent in the housing market. Vallejo-based Factory OS has delivered close to 3,000 homes in the last five years and can now build up to 1,000 units per year. We'll talk about why prefabricated housing remains a promising, but challenging piece of the housing production pie. Guests: Nick Gomez, principal; director of modular design and construction, AO Architects Rick Holliday, co-founder, Holliday Development and Factory OS; co-founder, Eden Housing; co-founder, BRIDGE Housing Dave Dauphinais, associate partner, McKinsey & Co.

Could factory-built homes be a housing solution for the east coast? That's one option federal and provincial housing ministers are eyeing. We'll check in with housing expert Julia Woodhall-Melnik.

I'm a little unsure of the best way to frame this introduction. In some ways, this is a story of embracing climbing for all the right reasons. Pursuit of technical mastery and love for the outdoors over the gamification of grades and emphasis on physical training. On the other hand, this is also the story of early adulthood in the modern era. The narrative to pursue something like climbing full-time is strong in the outdoor world. But most I encounter eventually find that climbing alone leaves us yearning for meaning and purpose. My guest today, Tyler Karow, spent nearly three years on the road pursuing climbing. Today he balances considerable climbing achievements with a secondary passion for building and a desire to be a part of the solution to America's affordable housing crisis.Karow is a 29-year-old climber known for his big wall accomplishments in Yosemite, Patagonia, and around the globe. His resume includes a ground-up free ascent of Golden Gate (5.13a) on El Cap, and Yosemite's Triple Crown in under 24 hours, only the eighth time this feat has been achieved. Notably, Karow climbed the Triple while working a full-time (plus) job. He holds a B.S. in Civil Engineering from the University of Southern California and is a licensed civil engineer and general contractor. With this background in engineering and construction, he envisions a career helping to build prefabricated tiny home communities. This emerging approach to construction helps to reduce the cost of new housing and more efficiently add supply to a stressed housing market.This episode is an Oreo of sorts, with a focused discussion of Tyler's climbing achievements and work/life balance in the beginning and end. The middle of this discussion takes a deep dive into the affordable housing crisis, the complex nature of new construction, and Tyler's vision for the future of American affordable housing. Support this project: Buy Me a CoffeeGet the newsletter: SUBSCRIBE ME!Show Notes and Links at Clippingchains.com

Join me as I take an in-depth look at how our current Mayor of London has failed to deliver on his pledge to build 80,000 new homes a year, despite receiving a record amount of money. Life is incredibly challenging right now and for many this is only heightened by the fact our most basic human needs are not being met, moreover, considered a priority by those that lead us. We face a housing crisis in our capital that is compounded by our current economic emergency. Our leaders have failed to act once again, and the lack of direction does little to promote prosperity or confidence. 67% of Londoners see housing as the key issue we faced as a society, something Sadiq Khan seized upon with his manifesto. And yet since becoming mayor in May 2016, the building of only 34,515 homes has even started, with a mere 12,000 of those having been completed. Promise after promise falls by the wayside and all of this amidst a backdrop of accusations that our government has failed to deliver investment. The need for housing has increased exponentially. Population in the capital has been growing by 1.1% on average annually since 2012. This equates to 96,000 additional people each year. OUR MAYOR HAS FAILED IN HIS PROMISES TO BUILD AFFORDABLE HOMES FOR OUR CITIZENS We must address this problem as a matter of urgency, particularly as we head into 2021 and the challenge of reigniting our battered economy and the austere times we currently face. Affordable housing for our key workers, the police force, teachers and transport employees is a must and the prerequisite of any thriving metropolis. We need a change of leadership, a change of direction and fresh hope at a time when each is severely lacking. As your next Mayor of London, I promise to put London’s Housing First by: Ensuring that Londoners have affordable home options to rent and buy Ensuring our key workers which include teachers, nurses, police and firefighters can affordably live in this city Prioritising the building of Modular Housing in boroughs throughout the city to immediately solve the current housing shortage Making immediate use of the over 30,000 empty homes in our capital for those in need Creating financial incentives for private contractors to profitably build affordable housing Enabling local councils to borrow and invest strategically in innovative low cost housing options

Today's highlights: COVID and children in schools There's been lots of in and misinformation around COVID-19 and our kids. Are they less at risk, are they less at risk for severe infection, etc. etc. We try to dig into this.    Modular housing, everywhere? Should the focus be on spreading out modular housing to as many areas as possible, as not to ‘centralize poverty?' We ask you.   Do you see a penis?  A new BC ferry visual marketing campaign has caught the eye of many people, for the wrong reasons.  That and more!  _____________ NAVIGATE THE PODCAST:  Chapter 1 COVID-19 and our children So, are kids at risk, less at risk, not at risk? It's a question there seems to be little clarity about. We have a conversation about this with a former school superintendent who isn't happy. Chapter 2 An overturned conviction, many years in the making Going to prison for something you didn't do. Constantly professing your innocence, accused for the most horrid crime. This is the story of Tomas Yebes, and we talk to his nephew, Tarek Elneweihi.  Chapter 3 Time for modular housing everywhere?  Should we be focusing on getting modular housing into as many areas as possible? Would this decentralize the poverty stricken areas we're seeing? Chapter 4 Federal COVID modeling analysis Some startling possibilities lie ahead for us if we don't get our sh#% together. We talk to Jason Tetro about some of the projections.  The impact new restrictions have on religious institutions Churches, Mosques, Temples, Synagogues, etc.. will all be impacted by the new restrictions. We talk to a few and get their feedback.  Chapter 5 A bad hair day for the Trump campaign Rudy Giuliani made headlines for all the wrong reasons at a recent conference.  Chapter 6 What do you see? A penis? BC ferries made a bit of a branding ‘gaffe' let's call it.

Nick Fulford has a background of over 20 years in sales & marketing. In 2017 he quit to set up the a modular housing concept, nHouse, together with award-winning architect, Richard Hywel Evans. As an industry new-comer, Nick is attempting to revolutionise an enormous market - the housebuilding market. 184,000 homes were built in England in 2016/17 so it's a big opportunity to play for, and there's government commitment to significantly increase this number. Set against the backdrop of a stretched traditional housing delivery industry, there's a clear need for innovation. The nHouse is a spacious, affordable and contemporary two storey, three-bedroom modular home. The house is made using off-site construction techniques. It can be delivered and set up to any site across the UK within five months of order. Once on site, the nHouse can be ready for occupation in three days. After I visit the newly unveiled nHouse prototype, Nick and I discuss what the nHouse is and he believes there's a gap in the market. We talk about the nHouse's market position and why the team believe there is a gap in the market; both from a customer and a delivery perspective. Other topics covered include the importance of technology in the construction of the product (but also as a feature of the finished building), the role of sustainability in house-building and what it means, and the importance of using hi-tech materials and suppliers. http://www.the-nhouse.com/
