Mayor Brandon Johnson recently announced a plan to borrow $1.25 billion for housing and development investments and pay the debt by letting TIF districts expire. TIF, or tax increment financing, allows cities to use property taxes in designated areas to fund development in those areas. The number of Chicago's TIF districts has grown dramatically since first used in the 1980s, and at one point, about a third of the city's area was covered by one. So we asked University of Illinois Chicago urban planning professor and TIF expert Rachel Weber how exactly do TIFs work, has Chicago over relied on them, and can Mayor Johnson's plan produce more equitable investments?

AirGo is partnering with UIC's Social Justice Initiative to present The Sawyer Seminar, a series of conversations hosted by UIC scholars entitled Radical Care, Real Alternatives. This episode, hosted by UIC professors Rachel Weber and Philip Ashton, explores how the public goods and services on which we rely have been commodified, packaged, and sold to the highest bidder. From the Chicago Skyway to the Green Line subway to the parking spots across the city, the municipal government has auctioned off the public infrastructure in an attempt to plug short-term budget holes, with often disastrous consequences. Dive deep into the weeds and emerge with a new lens to challenge the privatization of our lived environment in Chicago and beyond.

You've probably heard about residential mortgage-backed securities and the global financial crisis. But did you know corporate mortgage-backed securities were reshaping American cities at the same time? During the Great Recession, the housing bubble took much of the blame for bringing the American economy to its knees, but commercial real estate also experienced its own boom-and-bust. "... somebody would still be interested in the building they were putting up because it was viewed less as a space and place for economic activity to take place in and more as a financial commodity" Professor Rachel Weber We're talking to Rachel Weber about her book 'From Boom to Bubble', and the role of tax increment financing and corporate mortgage-backed securities in the city of Chicago. Rachel debunks the idea that booms occur only when cities are growing and innovating. Instead, she argues, even in cities experiencing employment and population decline, developers rush to erect new office towers and apartment buildings when they have financial incentives to do so. Focusing on the main causes of overbuilding during the early 2000s, Rachel documents the case of Chicago’s “Millennial Boom,” showing that the Loop’s expansion was a response to global and local pressures to produce new assets. An influx of cheap cash, made available through the use of complex financial instruments, helped transform what started as a boom grounded in modest occupant demand into a speculative bubble, where pricing and supply had only tenuous connections to the market. Innovative and compelling, From Boom to Bubble is an unprecedented historical, sociological, and geographic look at how property markets change and fail—and how that affects cities. In Chicago, for example, law firms and corporate headquarters abandoned their historic downtown office buildings for the millions of brand-new square feet that were built elsewhere in the central business district. What causes construction booms like this, and why do they so often leave a glut of vacant space and economic distress in their wake? Guest Professor Rachel Weber is an urban planner, political economist, and economic geographer who researches the relationship between finance and the built environment. Rachel's focus has been on instruments (tax increment financing, auction rate securities, crowdfunding, mortgage backed securities, tax credits) and infrastructures (school facilities, toll roads, commercial real estate). She is interested in why cities adopt certain instruments and how the use of particular methods of raising capital affects who benefits from and pays for urban infrastructures. In her work she has advanced the concept of financialisation as shorthand for how these tools bring new politics, kinds of knowledge, and risks to bear on policy and development decisions.

Were this year's Game Awards a success? Is there really only so much that an awards show can do for a form of entertainment that insists on presenting itself as an "industry" rather than something more artistic? And what was up with the weird robot razor blade? John Davison, Rachel Weber and Simon Cox argue about whether any problems you might have with The Game Awards might actually be the fault of something larger.
Why are the biggest releases of the year selling so badly? Are people just tired of sequels? Is it because everyone is still playing last year's stuff? Is it all Overwatch's fault? John Davison, Miguel Lopez, Rachel Weber and Simon Cox argue about what might be to blame.

This week John Davison, Simon Cox and Rachel Weber are joined by Cy Wise from virtual reality game developer Owlchemy Labs (Job Simulator, Rick & Morty Simulator) to chat about some of the weird stuff designers have to think about when making VR games. How do you stop people falling over? Why is elbow tracking important? Plus, we ponder the really important questions like - what do you call someone that's actually in VR? Are they a player? A user? A participant? A VRgonaut? Also: We enthuse about Titanfall 2 (again) and needlessly grumble about Sony's shoddy PlayStation Pro packaging.
John Davison, Simon Cox, Rachel Weber and Miguel Lopez take on the big gaming questions of the day. Can we fall in love all over again with Skyrim: Special Edition?
