Thank you for your continued support! Low income Americans face an acute housing shortage. But our guests have a victory to share. “Rabble Rousers: Frances Goldin and the Fight for Cooper Square" is a newly-released documentary telling the story of how a diverse group of New Yorkers, led by housing organizer Frances Goldin, fought a 50-year struggle against abandonment, white flight, violence, drugs and "Power Broker" Robert Moses to save a 12-block section of lower Manhattan from being destroyed. They created the first urban Community Land Trust (CLT), and thousands of homes and businesses were saved from speculation. The CLT established permanent low-income housing for Cooper Square residents. The film, which is out now from New Day Films, was directed and produced by our guests Kelly Anderson and Ryan Joseph, with Kathryn Barnier. Anderson and Joseph, along with historian Johanna Fernández join Laura to discuss the significance of Goldin, rabble rousing and the Cooper Square story for today. Plus, a commentary from Laura on “lost causes” that aren't. “The housing situation is only getting worse…We need policy solutions to address problems that were created through racist and classist policies to begin with.” - Kelly Anderson“What [Frances Goldin] creates is a model for others to follow.

This episode is part of an international triumvirate, which has been put together with the help of old friend of the podcast, Ian Wray, and new friend of the podcast, Lucy Natarajan. Ian, regular listeners will know, is a Professor at the Heseltine Institute for Public Policy, Practice and Place at University of Liverpool. Lucy is one of the editors of the Built Environment journal, a co-founder of Place Alliance, an Associate Lecturer at Oxford Brookes and an Associate Professor at UCL's Bartlett School of Planning. Ian and Lucy compiled the December 2022 edition of Built Environment and sought in so doing to explore ‘the power of plans'. This, they endeavoured to do, by way of a series of internationally commissioned case studies on grand plans that have been shown to work, asking how they worked and why. In this series Sam Stafford explores with Lucy and Ian three of those case studies. In this episode, in a conversation recorded remotely at the end of November 2022, Sam and Lucy talk to Bob Yaro about New York, a city that has experienced rapid growth, rapid decline and an impressive economic turnaround. New York has long been planned on a city region scale, but the origin of it's series of great plans lies in a small number of planning pioneers and philanthropists. That economic turnaround has much to do, despite it not having a statutory function, with the Regional Planning Association, with which Bob is heavily involved and who's role he describes as “advancing ideas whose time has not yet come".

The documentary film 'Rabble Rousers: Frances Goldin and the Fight for Cooper Square' highlights this David vs Goliath battle, where a diverse group of New Yorkers came together to save thousands of homes and businesses from destruction. In 1970, they won approval for their alternate development plan, and today, a community land trust and mutual housing association are in place, providing affordable homes in the area. (0:10:35) - The Legacy of Cooper Square (8 Minutes)We delve into the factors that set the Cooper Square neighborhood apart from other communities threatened by Robert Moses' bulldozers, and how the 50-year battle for its survival succeeded. Key contributors to this success included collaborating with urban planner Walter Thabit to develop a vision for the community and securing control over the land. Additionally, the neighborhood's rich history of working-class politics and values, as well as its diverse and creative community, played a significant role in the victory. Today, the area is home to a diverse population and a range of minority-owned and woman-owned businesses, fostering a vibrant and sustainable ecosystem. (0:18:52) - Advocating for Affordable Housing (10 Minutes)We discuss the concept of community land trusts, which involve communal land that cannot be sold for profit and should be connected to the public good. The conversation touches on the housing crisis, the role of land speculation, and potential remedies such as reparations for African Americans. Various ongoing initiatives in New York City are mentioned, including efforts to keep public land public and increase community control over land. The importance of collective action and persistence in housing struggles is highlighted, emphasizing the need for a movement organized around the public good. The legacy of Frances Goldin serves as an inspiring example of successful organizing and advocacy for housing rights.' Shownotes created by https://podium.page

U.S. Magistrate Judge Andrew Edison has devoted much time and research to the life and legacy of Robert Moses, a former Parks Commissioner who had a broad and deep impact on the development of New York City's infrastructure over a period of 50 years. Moses' career in many ways provides a study of the human cost of eminent domain for different socio-economic communities. Judge Edison's insight into Moses' legacy is relevant to today's discussions surrounding the potential impacts of the currently debated infrastructure bill, both intended and inadvertent.

In this week's episode, host Daniel Raimi talks with Gilbert Metcalf, who is a professor at Tufts University and a university fellow at Resources for the Future. Metcalf recently published a working paper with coauthor Alan Finkelstein Shapiro about the potential effects of a carbon tax on the US economy—specifically, a carbon tax that's designed to meet the US climate target under the Paris Agreement. In the paper, Metcalf and Finkelstein Shapiro estimate the effects of a carbon tax not just on overall GDP, but also on employment, labor force participation, wages, and companies' decisions about investing in clean energy technologies. Raimi and Metcalf discuss the modeling efforts that were involved, the surprising results, and the implications for policymakers.

Good morning, RVA! It’s 55 °F, and NBC12’s Andrew Freiden says to be on the lookout for storms this afternoon. More importantly, at least for any baby plants in your care, temperatures could drop below freezing tonight. Take appropriate plant precautions!Water coolerAs of this morning, the Virginia Department of Health reports 1,236 new positive cases of the coronavirus in the Commonwealthand 30 new deaths as a result of the virus. VDH reports 159 new cases in and around Richmond (Chesterfield: 76, Henrico: 61, and Richmond: 22). Since this pandemic began, 1,263 people have died in the Richmond region. The seven-day average of new reported cases across the state sits at 1,348. Related to things I think about in the morning, the New York Times will redesign their coronadata reporting pages, as we move into, in their words, a different stage of the pandemic. I’ve been wondering if I should do the same and shift focus away from number of new cases each day to the number of folks vaccinated and people in the hospital. Honestly, I’d love to hear from readers about what kind of daily coronadata they find interesting and useful.Speaking of, VDH reports over 25% of Virginians have now been fully vaccinated and over 40% have at least one dose of the vaccine. Those are big, real numbers!From the LA Times, “Former Minneapolis Police Officer Derek Chauvin was convicted Tuesday of murdering George Floyd in a landmark trial that centered on police brutality and spoke to a nation shaken over the last year by protests against racial injustice and demands to reform law enforcement.” Many, many people, both nationally and locally, released statements after the jury announced their verdict, and I’d like to quote from RPS Superintendent Kamras’s at length. “Like many of you, I sat with my family this afternoon anxiously awaiting the verdict in the trial of Derek Chauvin for the murder of George Floyd. When the news finally broke – guilty on all three counts – we felt both relieved and uneasy. Relieved because justice had prevailed; but uneasy because the victory, though historic, will serve as a sign to some that the ‘system’ is fundamentally sound. It is not. It is still infected with biases, institutional and human, that make the murder of unarmed Black men and women at the hands of law enforcement all too common, and justice for their assailants all too rare…As we celebrate justice for George Floyd, let us remember the many, many others who have been killed under similar circumstances. Please see below for a (partial) list compiled by author Renée Ater of unarmed Black women and men who died at the hands of police since Michael Brown was shot and killed in 2014 in Ferguson, Missouri. If you can bear it, read their names tonight, one by one. We owe them the simple dignity of never forgetting them.”Quick reminder that City Council will meet today at 1:00 PM for their first budget amendment work session—the most exciting of budget work sessions. They’ve got a lot of proposed amendments to work through and a lot of compromises to make, so it should be a fascinating listen. Two things to keep an eye on apropos of the previous paragraph: Councilmembers submitted amendments to fund both the Civilian Review Board and to provide police officers higher pay. Those were already complex conversations and have only gotten more complex since last night. You can tune in live over on the City’s legislative website, or listen via The Boring Show later this week.Mark Robinson at the Richmond Times-Dispatch has some more details on the “biennial real estate strategies” plan that City Council’s Land Use, Housing and Transportation committee looked at yesterday. I think most of the properties that the City proposes to get rid of should be fairly non controversial, but approval of the plan would mean that we should see some RFPs floating around soon for the larger, more interesting sites—places like Oak Grove Elementary School, the Coliseum, and Fulton Gasworks.This morning, you can live stream the assembly of a massive T. Rex skeleton in the Sauer’s Center. The skeleton is, apparently, the only full-sized T. Rex replica in Virginia and measures 40 feet long and 14 feet tall. It has it’s own twitter account! Sure!Tonight, at 7:30 PM, you can join the Richmond Crusade for Voters for a virtual Commonwealth’s Attorney forum featuring incumbent Colette McEachin and challenger Tom Barbour. I think this is the final time for you to see the candidates interact before in-person absentee voting in the Democratic primaries starts on Friday.

We, of course, have our fair share of racist-as-hell, garbage infrastructure in Richmond.Our garbage infrastructure is racist as hell and often built and designed with racism foremost in mind. The more you learn about it, the more you see it everywhere you look. Racism is obvious in the very bones of our country. Many folks on Twitter pointed to Robert Moses, the subject of The Power Broker: Robert Moses and the Fall of New York by Robert Caro. Moses was the master planner of a series of parkways on Long Island who made sure to build bridges too low for buses to pass under, thereby keeping Black and poor people from enjoying the public beaches. But this isn’t a problem of the past — it’s one that has shaped and continues to shape our cities. This subject really gets under my skin because I am passionate about two things: infrastructure and my hometown of Detroit, a city decimated by racist infrastructure policies that continue to this day.If you’d like your longread to show up here, go chip in a couple bucks on the ol’ Patreon.Picture of the DayPollen producer!

This episode discusses power, defined simply as the ability to act. It focuses on the relationship between power and democratic politics, the distinction between "power over" or unilateral power and "power with" or relational power, and questions such as who has power, how should it be analyzed, is anyone really powerless, the nature of self-interest, and how does organizing build power to effect change.GuestsRobert Hoo is the Lead Organizer and Executive Director for One LA-IAF. He has fifteen years of organizing experience with the Industrial Areas Foundation in Las Vegas, Los Angeles and Sacramento. And before that served as an AmeriCorps member in Connecticut.Ben Gordon is senior organizer with Metro IAF which he joined in 2016. He currently works with the IAF organizations in Boston, Connecticut, Milwaukee, as well as several labor union partners.

Considered a classic, this book gives an account of the urban planner Robert Moses. Organizers consistently refer to this book as a detailed and very revealing case study in how to gain power even when you don't hold an official or elected post, how power operates institutionally, how to get things done, and how to analyze power; Saul Alinsky, John L. Lewis: An Unauthorized Biography (New York: Vintage, 1970). Another case studies in how power is built up and wielded effectively, this time in a non-state focused form of politics, that of union organizing; The distinction between “power with” and “power over” originates with Mary Parker Follett, Creative Experience (New York: Longmans, Green, 1930 [1924]); Hannah Arendt also sketched a conception of relational power in her essay “On Violence.” See Hannah Arendt, On Revolution (London: Penguin Books, 2006 [1963]), 105–98; Walter Wink, Engaging the Powers: Discernment and Resistance in a World of Domination (Minneapolis: Fortress Press, 1992).

Welcome to Four Degrees to the Streets! In the first episode of the podcast, Nimo and Jasmine define urban planning and a brief history of racism in the United States. Press play to hear: An analysis of the American Planning Association (APA) statement on Righting the Wrongs of Racial Inequality (published May 2020). Are some of the most influential urban planners racist in their policies? Think Robert Moses and Jane Jacobs. A breakdown of federal policy decisions that altered communities based on race. Specifically the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1956, the Federal Housing Administration Underwriting Manual, and racial zoning as a tool to segregate neighborhoods.
