In Part 2, we pick up where we left off in Part 1. Although it made all kinds of sense for Shrey to move halfway around the world to go to art school, he says it was "an uphill battle” convincing his parents of the plan. Still, his mom was and is a champion of her son and his art. It was 2018 and Shrey was 20. We talk about his experience of arriving in San Francisco, a city that was “such a beacon of hope” for him. He dedicated himself to his studies at CCA. He also paid serious attention to the news, and even attempted political art. When that didn't pan out financially, a professor at CCA strongly encouraged Shrey to stay with painting, that it was his lane. This was just before the pandemic. When he got his first stimulus check, Shrey bought an easel and began going out and painting en plein air. He did this so much and promoted his art so well that, by the time he graduated, he had started getting commissions. He was able to become a full-time artist—a dream of his. Shrey is such an artist, through and through, that he even has an art job. Like, a job-job. Four days a week, Shrey works for ArtSpan—a local arts nonprofit possibly best-known for Open Studios. Shrey shares the history of ArtSpan and OpenStudios. What began in 1975 in South of Market as a way for artists shunned by galleries to show their art and sell it today sees around 600 artists opening their studio doors all over The City. Shrey manages the Arts and Neighborhoods program for ArtSpan. That group helps organize exhibitions during Open Studios at non-studio locations. Mission Bowling Club is one such location. In fact, Shrey got his first art show after graduation through help from ArtSpan. It's a beautiful full-circle story. That first show led to other shows. And Shrey credits his entrepreneurial brain for recognizing an opportunity in all of this—if a cafe has suitable walls, you can talk with the owner about hanging art by local artists, promote an opening, and make things happen. And so that's what he did. Partly because putting on one art show, not to mention doing multiple shows at the same, is what the kids refer to as a lot, Shrey focussed his efforts at one location. Ballast Coffee on West Portal became the home of Ingleside Gallery. The first art show at his gallery brought in more than $10,000 in sales. I have to insert some editorial here, so thanks for indulging me. Shrey and I recorded this podcast before our Every Kinda People show. I won't pretend that my own art curation is anywhere close to the level that he (and my friend Anita of KnownSF and countless others around SF, The Bay, and the world) operates on. But Shrey does speak to the nature of both the volume and the intensity of the work that goes into putting on an art show. In my own way, I relate. Back to my and Shrey's conversation, I ask him to talk about how our lives intersected. It was earlier this year after I recorded with Ellen Lo of Ask Me SF. I needed to drop off a Storied: SF hoodie for Ellen, so she asked me to meet her one Saturday morning on Ocean Avenue. She and some friends and community members would be out there painting a mural over a dilapidated street wall in front of a PG&E substation. Sign me up! After politely declining to add my own (attempted) artistic touch to their creation that day, Ellen introduced me to a friend of hers. Right away, I got a sense of that exuberance Shrey embodies, a trait I am now very familiar with. We end the episode with thoughts about the Every Kinda People show, up at Mini Bar through October 19. Follow Shrey on Instagram @shreypurohit and @inglesidegallery.

Matan Haas is the CEO of NHaas Properties, an Israel-based real estate firm that identifies, renovates, and manages historic commercial and residential buildings to create valuable investment opportunities. He has served as CEO since 2016, overseeing urban renewal projects, option-based deals, and comprehensive property enhancements in neighborhoods like the Lower City and Hadar. Matan brings a strategic and disciplined leadership style shaped by his past service as a deputy commander in the elite naval unit Shayetet 13. In this episode… In cities with deep history, many properties are neglected or overlooked, even though they hold hidden value waiting to be unlocked. So how do you turn aging structures into thriving, profitable assets that benefit both investors and neighborhoods? According to Matan Haas, a seasoned real estate entrepreneur with roots in Haifa, Israel, the key lies in identifying historic buildings owned by a single landlord and transforming them through urban renewal. He highlights the importance of combining architectural preservation with modern upgrades like bomb shelters and elevators, creating both cultural and financial value. This strategy not only attracts investors but also revives communities, making neglected neighborhoods desirable again. Matan explains how option agreements reduce risk while providing time to assemble the right investor group, ensuring long-term success. In this episode of The Same Day Podcast, host Yoni Schmidt sits down with Matan Haas, CEO of NHaas Properties, to discuss revitalizing historic neighborhoods and unlocking real estate value. They explore how creative problem-solving opens investment opportunities, why urban renewal is critical for Haifa's growth, and how leadership lessons from the IDF apply to business. Matan also shares his advice for transitioning from military to civilian life with purpose.

Activist and journalist Benjamin Nolan has witnessed a shift in Police tactics over the past two years, particularly in how they deal with Palestinian solidarity protestors. Toronto Police won't admit to any of it and mainstream media fail to tell both sides, which has left an obvious gap in report Ben wants to step up and help fill.He goes over his recent piece in The Grind, Police Chief Plays Loose with the Truth in Call in Show, which opens up a lot of discussions about police violence, their use of the knee-on-neck technique and just what TPS thinks 'proportionate' responses are to peaceful protests.Ben also provides firsthand accounts of Police overreaching their authority and not following the law, as well as reports back on the amount of injuries Hosted by: Jessa McLeanCalls to Action:Support the Toronto Community Justice Fund; and,Attend a Fundraiser Seminar in support of the Community Justice Collective, Copaganda: How Police and Media Manipulate our NewsRelated Episodes: Unverified: The Grind Exposes New Lows in Canadian Media (Oct 2024), Dave Grey-Donald goes over his months long investigation into the reporting surrounding October 7, 2023; Neighborhoods for Palestine (May 2024), Ben's first appearance on the show alongside four comrades organizing close to home for a Free Palestine.Weaponizing Canadian Law for Israel (Jul 2024), Martin Lukacs from the Breach talks about Project Resolute and the secret committee that drives it.More Resources: Bubble Zones: Confiding ProtestsBBC: Palestine Action Protest Arrests Over 500Inside Project Resolute, Canada's crack down on Palestine speechThe Breach: Inside the ‘shocking' police operation targeting pro-Palestine activists in TorontoToronto Police “Caused a Riot” Outside 51 Division After Pro-Palestinian Protest of UJA Event - The Grind MagazineAll of our content is free - made possible by the generous sponsorships of our Patrons.

In Illinois, as in other states, there are many towns and cities with what are known as “crime-free housing” ordinances. The idea is to keep drugs and other illegal activity out of apartment buildings and other rental properties. Critics say the ordinances disproportionately target low-income families and people of color while supporters of the law say the programs ensure safety and have helped revitalize struggling neighborhoods.   The 21st Show is Illinois' statewide weekday public radio talk show, connecting Illinois and bringing you the news, culture, and stories that matter to the 21st state.

Are you building a website that answers your ideal client's real questions or a brochure that only talks about you? In this episode of the Real Estate Excellence Podcast, Tracy Hayes welcomes Real Estate Tomato founder Jim Cronin. Jim breaks down how agents win online today by pairing deeply targeted websites with consistently updated, authority rich content. Long tail questions drive discovery, and AI overviews now pull heavily from blog articles and market snapshots written by true local experts. If your site speaks directly to a defined persona and proves expertise with specifics, you rise above portals and generic pages. He walks through a standout case study the Lake Life directory where each lake page includes listings, drone visuals, drive times, FAQs, and monthly market snapshots. Jim shows why freshness signals and on the ground insight beat big box data, then shares his Coffee Chats system to extract stories from agents and spin them into blogs, shorts, and social posts at scale. Net effect you become the source AI cites and the site clients click. Pick one niche you love and ship one authority page this week. Add five buyer and five seller FAQs and a current month market snapshot. Repeat monthly.

Sounds like the overlapping songs of birds can speak volumes about the biodiversity in an ecosystem, and now scientists are looking to use the tiny sounds made by earthworms, ants, and voles to study the health of soils.  Also, "depaving parties" of volunteers with sledgehammers are turning paved yards into pollinator havens and green space. That can help reduce climate impacts from extreme heat and flooding. Plus -- a scientist who rappels down cliffs to hand-pollinate endangered plants. A vine that mimics the leaves of nearby species. Rice that crowds out strangers but leaves room for the roots of relatives. The book “The Light Eaters” tackles big questions of plant intelligence, consciousness, and communication. -- Know someone who might be interested in a Living on Earth internship this fall?

 Did you know Congress passed the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) in 1977 with the objective of ending redlining, the decades-old practice of neighborhood discrimination by banks against African Americans and others based on race and income? The race-based rejection of loans to creditworthy residents of redlined neighborhoods delayed the American dream of homeownership and small business ownership for generations. Senator William Proxmire, the main Congressional sponsor of CRA, along with advocacy organizations, believed that segregated neighborhoods would not successfully revitalize themselves if banks continued to refuse to make loans in them. Therefore, the CRA was devised to make banks accountable for serving the needs of entire communities.Based on a comprehensive analysis of half a century of CRA-related legislation and banking regulation, this book takes a hard look at the effectiveness of the CRA and clearly lays out what needs to be done to CRA and its regulation to improve outcomes. The author addresses whether CRA is an effective response to racial injustice, whether CRA has effectively empowered communities, whether the federal agencies have developed regulations that conform with and further the statutory objectives of CRA, and whether the law appropriately addresses and rectifies market failures in our economy.He is the author of the informative book, "Ending Redlining through a Community-Centered Reform of the Community Reinvestment Act." https://www.endredline.com/http://www.yourlotandparcel.org

Major retailers like Kroger's Pick 'n Save, Walgreens, and CVS are closing multiple stores in predominantly Black neighborhoods of Milwaukee — and it's sparking outrage.Community leaders call it “food apartheid.” Retailers say it's about theft, safety, and sustainability. Who's telling the truth? What does this mean for access to food, medicine, and essentials in underserved communities?

In this episode of Real Estate Success: The Whissel Way, hosts Kyle Whissel and Bryan Koci break down the exact strategy their team uses to throw Mega Open Houses that draw 100+ people—even in a tough market. They discuss how most agents fail by doing the bare minimum, while their method turns listings into events that generate buzz, build relationships, and lead to multiple offers. From marketing like a Hollywood movie premiere to using an omni-channel approach—mailers, door knocking, video invites, and follow-ups—Kyle shares how he achieved over 50% market share in one neighborhood with this system. If you're tired of weak open house results, this episode is your full playbook.

Birds of the same species don't always sing exactly the same as each other. But those that live near each other sometimes have similar songs. Scientists refer to this pattern as a song neighborhood. It's less like a regional dialect among people that's found over a large area. It's more local than that, like a group of friends copying each other's mannerisms.More info and transcript at BirdNote.org.Want more BirdNote? Subscribe to our weekly newsletter.

“City Life, Creeping Gentrification and Flesh-eating Snakes:” now that's a gripping tagline! Josh Green, editor of Urbanize Atlanta, joins Host Carol Morgan on the Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio podcast to discuss his new novel, “Goodbye, Sweetberry Park,” which explores gentrification and urban development through the eyes of the fictional journalist, Archie “God” Johnson. From the Rust Belt to Urbanize Atlanta Green grew up in the Rust Belt and describes it as the “polar opposite of the growing Sun Belt population explosion.” As he began to explore the country, he was fascinated by the vibrance and quick growth of Atlanta and many Florida cities. Now the editor of Urbanize Atlanta, Green taps into his passion for urban development every day, providing readers with detailed perspectives on all things Atlanta. Urbanize Atlanta celebrates its fourth anniversary this year. Green said, “You get on the ground with a camera and just really explore the curiosities about what's happening and how it all links together.” Goodbye Sweetberry Park Following the success of his short story collection, “Dirtyville Rhapsodies” and first novel, “Secrets of Ash,” Green released a new novel, “Goodbye, Sweetberry Park,” earlier this year. The novel chronicles the joys and struggles of a fictional veteran journalist covering a chaotic summer in Atlanta. “It's kind of an amalgamation of a lot of different, fun, beautiful, lovely, troubled, historic intown Atlanta places ranging from West End to Cabbagetown,” said Green. “There's Grant Park mixed in, the fictional Zoo and then where I'm living now, Kirkwood and some Oakhurst.” “Goodbye Sweetberry Park” offers a more personal perspective of gentrification in Atlanta neighborhoods. Green says he draws from his experiences as an Atlanta reporter, so this novel serves as his “street-level” perspective on the topic. One of Green's early influences for the novel was an Atlanta Magazine article he wrote, “The Gentrifier.” He detailed his experience in buying a larger intown home for his family and becoming a “gentrifier” in the process. The article went on to win an Atlanta Press Association Award and sparked major conversations about modernization in the city. Green states that the neighborhood transformation that has stuck with him is the Atlanta Beltline. The trails offer alternative transportation, while restaurants and recreation are big influences for tourism to the city. As Atlanta grows and develops, the Beltline is an asset to connect residents to work, home and attractions. What About Affordable Housing? Transit-oriented development is one way that Green sees Atlanta adding affordable housing. Neighborhoods such as Candler Park are already one step ahead, converting unused MARTA parking lots into brilliant housing complexes and retail centers. With convenient proximity to local MARTA stations and rapid bus routes, residents can take transportation out of their monthly budgets, which makes housing more attainable in the long run.

The City of Seattle and Seattle Public Schools are inviting the public to say goodbye to Seattle High School Memorial Stadium this Thursday, June 26, 2025 from 4pm to 7pm. Memorial Stadium – built in 1947 - was deemed to be not worthy of landmark status in Seattle and will be demolished, while the 1951 wall engraved with names of Seattle Public Schools' WWII war dead was given landmark status and will be preserved. With the stadium's imminent destruction prior to construction of a new facility, Feliks Banel's focus on this BONUS ENCORE EPISODE of CASCADE OF HISTORY is what's often called the "anti-nomination" process for potential landmarks. These "anti-nominations" are reviewed by the City of Seattle Department of Neighborhoods' Seattle Landmarks Preservation Board, and this unofficial term applies when a building's owner does NOT want the building designated as a city landmark. Consultants and attorneys join in a process that probably runs counter to how many people believe historic preservation programs should operate in the United States. On Wednesday, October 4, 2023 the Seattle Landmarks Preservation Board voted to designate only the 1951 memorial wall at Memorial Stadium as a city landmark, and to not designate 1947 Memorial Stadium. Through audio from the meeting and excerpts from email correspondence, we use Memorial Stadium as a case study to show how public resources are being devoted to processes that appear to be lacking some key elements of what might be called good government. This episode of CASCADE OF HISTORY was originally broadcast live at 8pm Pacific Time on Sunday, October 8, 2023 via SPACE 101.1 FM and streaming live via space101fm.org from studios at historic Magnuson Park – formerly Sand Point Naval Air Station - on the shores of Lake Washington in Seattle.

In this thought-provoking episode of WAHNcast, hosts Angie Truitt and Mark Shelburne sit down with Dr. Gregg Colburn, co-author of Affordable Housing in the United States, and Emila Sutton, Director of Housing and Neighborhoods for the City of Raleigh, to explore how research, policy, and on-the-ground leadership intersect in the fight against homelessness. Together, they bust common myths, unpack why some communities succeed where others fall short, and dive into the powerful role of zoning, cross-sector collaboration, and public advocacy. From national data to local wins, this conversation bridges academic insight with real-world application and leaves listeners with a hopeful, actionable vision for change. Whether you're a policymaker, advocate, or housing practitioner, this episode will inspire you to rethink assumptions and lean into evidence-based, community-driven solutions.

Imagine waking to helicopters overhead and soldiers marching down your street—not due to war or disaster, but because your own government decided your voice had become too powerful. In 2025, this became reality in Los Angeles.President Trump deployed 2,000 federal troops into California, branding immigration protests as an "insurrection." But ask Black activists, educators, and community leaders there—it felt all-too familiar: another chapter in a long story of government muscle flexing against its own people.From Little Rock's schoolhouse steps to Selma's bloodied streets, history reminds us federal troops haven't always stood on the right side of justice. Sometimes they protected rights, other times—they silenced them.Join us while we discuss the History the National Guard in your Neighborhood. #blackhistory #losangelesprotests Sources: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1967_Detroit_riot https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1992_Los_Angeles_riots https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Rock_Nine https://www.nps.gov/articles/the-little-rock-nine.htm https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/march-20/lbj-sends-federal-troops-to-alabama-to-protect-a-civil-rights-march https://www.npr.org/2025/06/09/5428107/what-happened-when-lyndon-johnson-federalized-the-national-guard https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/politics-news/california-attorney-general-sues-trump-over-unlawful-national-guard-n1347674Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/one-mic-black-history--4557850/support.

There's an area southeast of Lake Merritt that's lined with abandoned buildings, boarded up storefronts, vacant lots, and decrepit warehouses. The neighborhoods here, Clinton and San Antonio, are some of Oakland's oldest. Although there are also beautiful Victorian houses, long-established churches, and several thriving immigrant communities, including a stretch of Vietnamese establishments known as Little Saigon, this area has suffered from disinvestment and high crime rates for decades – why? Answering that question requires a trip through more than a century of Oakland history – from the Gold Rush up through the Urban Renewal era and beyond. Exploring this story illuminates not only the problems of these neighborhoods, but helps explain the rise and fall of entire cities. “The leading edge of development follows the wealthiest residents,” according to Mitchell Schwarzer, the author of “Hella Town: Oakland's History of Development and Disruption.” In this episode, Schwarzer unpacks that diagnosis, and what it means for older neighborhoods left to crumble as investors chase new frontiers. This conversation was inspired by Schwarzer's work with the San Antonio Station Alliance, a campaign advocating for the construction of a BART station and transit village.
