The city of Chicago owns thousands of vacant lots, and more than 80 percent of those parcels are in communities where the population is at least 80 percent Black. That's according to a report from the Institute for Housing Studies at DePaul University. Residents and organizations are investing in these lots to improve the community. Last episode, we learned about how complicated it can be for individual homeowners to buy a vacant lot in their neighborhood. Today, we focus on an organization that is acquiring these types of spaces. Anton Seals, Jr. is the co-founder of Grow Greater Englewood, an organization that is doing innovative work on abandoned areas on the South Side. In the name of land sovereignty and building lasting community, he and his colleagues are transforming vacant lots into urban farms, a farmers market and a nature trail.

Most people in Dubai have never heard of rentvesting—but it's a powerful strategy. Rent where you want to live (like Dubai Hills), and invest in more affordable, high-growth areas to build wealth faster. It's common in Australia but growing in the UAE, especially as yields rise and buyers look beyond premium suburbs. Here's how it works—and why some residents are buying two rentals before buying their own home. Plus Craig and Mario discuss other Dubai property news. ► Record A Message: https://www.speakpipe.com/realestateradio ► Subscribe here to never miss an episode: https://dubaipropertypodcast.podbean.com ► INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/dubaipropertypodcast/?hl=en ► ITUNES: https://podcasts.apple.com/.../dubai.../id1662176569 ► EMAIL: dubaipropertypodcast@gmail.com The Most comprehensive property guide for the UAE and Dubai.

Detroit's Packard Plant finally has a realistic reuse plan — and downtown's historic Leland is abruptly shutting its doors. On today's Daily Detroit, Jer Staes is joined by producer Shianne Nocerini and reporter Luciano Marcon to unpack two very different development stories that say a lot about where the city is headed. Packard Plant reboot Jer and Shianne break down the newly announced 28‑acre redevelopment of the southern half of the Packard Plant site along East Grand Boulevard, after going to the announcement on the city's east side. The plan, led by Packard Development Partners in a public‑private‑philanthropic partnership with the city and groups including the Albert Kahn Legacy Foundation, calls for a new 393,000‑square‑foot Class A industrial building and an estimated 300 permanent manufacturing jobs They outline what's envisioned for the historic Albert Kahn building: 42 affordable live‑make units, a skate park, the Museum of Detroit Electronic Music (MODEM) and more than two acres of indoor‑outdoor public and recreation space, with completion targeted for 2029. The team talks about why keeping the 1903‑era frontage on East Grand matters to the neighborhood and the city's psyche, and why this feels like a grounded, "doable" project instead of yet another Packard pipe dream. They also speculate, based on the more than 50 loading docks and rail/freeway access, that the site is more likely headed toward logistics or shipping than a data center. Leland House shutdown In the second half, Luciano joins Jer and Shianne after a very cold visit to the Leland House, the nearly century‑old former Leland Hotel downtown that's now telling remaining residents they must leave with less than a week's notice. Management letters delivered over the holiday weekend say the building will close by Wednesday, December 3, amid bankruptcy complications and stalled redevelopment efforts following the death of owner Michael Higgins. Luciano describes what he saw inside: Residents relying on space heaters Visible water damage Tarps tacked to ceilings and years of deferred maintenance The crew talks about the scramble by the city to help people relocate, the potential loss of jobs tied to longtime nightlife fixture City Club and the scale of money it would take to save the property.

Sara Billiet joined Wake Up Tri-Counties to introduce the new Director of the Kewanee Public Library, David Eckert, and talk about upcoming events heading into the holiday season. The Kewanee Public Library has officially welcomed new director David Eckert, who brings three decades of library experience, including a start as a children's librarian. Library staff are encouraging community participation in several upcoming programs. Due to Baker & Taylor's closure, the library's Boundless app for ebooks will be replaced by The Palace Project soon, while Hoopla remains unaffected. Residents are invited to donate extra seeds for the library's growing seed exchange and contribute nonperishable food and hygiene items for the local food pantry—the collection runs through December 22nd. Santa visits the library on December 13th, complete with photo ops and activity kits for kids. David, the new library director, brings three decades of library experience—including a stint as a children's librarian—and even has a background in music, having played double bass professionally before joining the library world. David and his family are settling into the area, buying a house in Toulon, and are excited about the bigger yard for their two large dogs. He's looking forward to the region's Amtrak station for easy trips to Chicago and exploring local towns like the Quad Cities, Peoria, and Princeton. David hopes his innovative ideas from past roles will benefit the library community, even if he may have to start making homemade pizza.

John Casmon interviews Ed Mathews, a former Silicon Valley tech executive who walked away from a high-flying software career to build a more family-centered, freedom-focused life through real estate. Ed shares how missing too many “18 summers” with his daughters pushed him to leave DocuSign and go all-in on multifamily after seven years of flipping houses and small-building rehabs on the side. He explains how he scaled his Connecticut portfolio by finding “rock star” contractors through trade-to-trade referrals, building tight systems, and using process—not heroics—to let average people perform exceptionally well. Ed details why he prefers long-term residents over constant value-add turnover, how he achieved 4.2-year average stays, and why responsiveness, respect, and presence on site drive both mission and NOI. The conversation closes with his shift away from property management toward asset management, his expansion into AI-powered operations, and the launch of both a debt fund and private equity fund to pursue larger 150-unit-plus acquisitions.

Residents from Black River, St. Elizabeth, are sounding the alarm, and frankly, it's hard not to share their outrage. In the fragile hours after the hurricane swept through, what should have been a coordinated, decisive government response instead looked like hesitation, confusion, and absence.Some people are alleging that the relief agencies on the ground were ineffective—no tents, no structured food program, no organized medical presence. In a disaster of this scale, essential services should have been stationed and ready: emergency tents, mobile clinics, water and sanitation units, ground teams tracking displaced residents, and a rapid deployment of resources to stabilize those most affected. That simply did not happen. Instead, helicopters circled overhead, assessing the destruction from a distance, while families on the ground waited—hungry, exposed, unaccounted for. Displaced residents still don't have proper shelter. They don't have a central point of service. They don't have a coordinated system guiding them toward safety, medical care, or basic necessities. In 2025, after so many global lessons in disaster management, this should never be the story. And yet here we are.Let's be clear: relief comes before rebuilding. Before talk of construction, procurement, or long-term recovery, there must be tents, food, water, sanitation, health services, child protection services, and community support teams on the ground immediately. That's Emergency Response 101. You stabilize the people, then you move to rebuilding the community.But from all accounts, Jamaica's government response is lagging—and community members are noticing. Many are openly saying that if it weren't for people like Shaggy and other Jamaican celebrities abroad, flying in and stepping up, many families would still be starving, stranded, and forgotten.It shouldn't take celebrity intervention for people to get basic relief.So the question stands like a heavy drumbeat: What is going on?Why weren't emergency tents pre-positioned? Why wasn't there an immediate medical and sanitation rollout? Why do residents have to beg for what should be automatic in a disaster? And most importantly: Who is accountable for this breakdown, and when will the people of Black River get the relief they deserve?By Rev. Renaldo C McKenzie, Author of "Neoliberalism. Globalization, Income Inequality Poverty and Resistance".

Since the fall of the Syrian regime in December 2024, the NGO Handicap International has recorded 725 accidents and nearly 1,400 victims of landmines and explosive ordnance throughout the country, compared to 933 victims in 2023. The increase in these figures in recent months is partly due to the return of residents to war-torn areas previously occupied by Assad's forces.

The Kensington Philadelphia Drug Market, Real Story. If there is any place that captures the raw, unfiltered reality of America's drug crisis, it is The Kensington Philadelphia Drug Market. For decades, this neighborhood has been the epicenter of open-air dealing, addiction, and human suffering, an area where people lie on sidewalks, stumble through streets, and inject or smoke drugs in plain view. Sidewalks, parks, and alleys are littered with used needles. Crowds of people slump over, “nodded out,” as if frozen in time. Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast social media like their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. “It's something you have to see to believe,” one writer observed. “Whatever you've seen on Twitter (X), Facebook, Instagram, or the evening news doesn't even come close.” The intense episode now streaming on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, and most every major Podcast platform. A Marketplace of Desperation Kensington offers something few other places in America do, product variety. Fentanyl, now responsible for most overdose deaths, saturates the scene. Meth and crack mix in for users looking to combine “uppers and downers.” Even retro drugs like PCP have made a return. One user told investigators his typical order was “three down, one hard”, fentanyl for the down, crack for the hard. The Kensington Philadelphia Drug Market, Real Story. Look for supporting articles about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium , Blogspot and Linkedin . This is the reality former Philadelphia warrant investigator Tristin Kilgallon witnessed firsthand. From the Streets to the Classroom Kilgallon, who grew up near Kensington, spent years navigating these streets as part of the First Judicial District's Warrant Unit. Once a frontline investigator tasked with tracking fugitives, he later left the unit to attend law school. He became a lawyer, then a criminal justice professor, teaching the next generation of justice professionals. “I loved the job, but the danger, the low pay, and the burnout, it wears you down,” Kilgallon explains. “Kensington changes you. You see things you can't unsee.” The Kensington Philadelphia Drug Market, Real Story. Available for free on their website and streaming on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Youtube and other podcast platforms. He now speaks openly about the realities he observed, not just in policing but also in higher education. “There's a lot of myth versus reality in the classroom,” he says. “And too often, the focus is on political indoctrination, not actual education.” The Book: A Real Story of Crime, Chaos, and Brotherhood Kilgallon co-authored the book Philly Warrant Unit with lifelong friend and fellow investigator Mark Fusetti. The two grew up on the same block, reunited professionally years later, and began working side by side in one of America's toughest fugitive-tracking units. “This book isn't a traditional cover-to-cover read,” Kilgallon says. “It's a collection of true stories, intense, funny, tragic, and real.” The authors share behind-the-scenes experiences: tense arrests, tragic overdoses, unpredictable street encounters, and the kind of dark humor only law enforcement veterans understand. Their stories paint an unfiltered portrait of policing Philadelphia during a period when Kensington's drug market became a billion-dollar enterprise and a global symbol of urban decay. The Kensington Philadelphia Drug Market, Real Story. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast episode is available for free on their website , Apple Podcasts , Spotify and most major podcast platforms. His interview can be found on The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, on Apple podcasts, Spotify, Youtube and on LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, and across most podcast platforms where listeners crave authentic law enforcement stories. Kensington: A Neighborhood Consumed Kensington was once a thriving industrial hub. When factories shut down during the 1960s and deindustrialization hollowed out the area, poverty, abandonment, and neglect took root. Vacant factories became havens for dealing and drug use. The Market-Frankford Line offered easy access. By the late 1990s, Kensington had become the place to buy heroin on the East Coast. As Kilgallon puts it: “The drug market didn't just appear, it grew like a parasite. And it's been feeding off the neighborhood for generations.” The full podcast episode is streaming now on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and across Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn. Today, fentanyl, xylazine, meth, and crack dominate. Doctors and treatment centers struggle to help people addicted to substances that often leave them disfigured or near death. Residents face homelessness, encampments, violence, and crushing economic inequality. “Kensington has become the Las Vegas of Drugs,” Kilgallon says. “It's shocking, but it's the truth.” The Kensington Philadelphia Drug Market, Real Story. A Real Story Worth Hearing Kilgallon's firsthand insights, on policing, addiction, community collapse, and the failures of both policy and academia, make him a powerful voice in conversations about Kensington's future. His Real Story matters because it cuts through the political noise and media sensationalism.

Whether you've seen snippets on X, listened to interviews on Apple Podcasts, streamed discussions on Spotify, or followed the dialogue on LinkedIn, one thing is clear: Kensington's crisis is not just a headline. It is a human story. A community story. A story with no easy answers. And as Kilgallon's book, career, and commentary show, the only way forward is through honesty, accountability, and a willingness to face the streets as they truly are.

Tonight's episode uncovers one of the most disturbing and tragic real-life hauntings in American history: the Black Hope Cemetery Haunting. Haunted house? No, this was an entire haunted neighborhood In the 1980s, families buying brand-new homes in a quiet Texas subdivision believed they were moving into the perfect neighborhood… until they made a horrifying discovery beneath their backyards — the graves of Black Hope Cemetery. What began as unease soon spiraled into a nightmare: -Mysterious coffins hidden under freshly built homes -Residents falling ill and passing away after disturbing the graves -Unexplained footsteps, apparitions, and voices inside multiple homes - Tragic deaths that locals believe were the result of a curse -A chilling pattern linking every family who tried to dig — or move the bodies For the homeowners, simply living on the property wasn't safe. The haunting seemed intelligent… vengeful… and impossible to escape. This isn't a haunted house, this was an entire haunted neighborhood If you enjoy true hauntings, cursed land, and real paranormal cases with devastating consequences, this is an episode you don't want to watch alone.

Last week, the Vancouver City Council unanimously adopted a new flag for the city. The flag will be hoisted above city hall for the first time during a flag-raising ceremony on Nov. 28. The new flag is a culmination of a months-long process that launched this spring to replace the city’s old flag that has flown for more than three decades, but one that some residents struggled to identify in a video the city released announcing the flag design competition. Nearly 140 entries were submitted for the competition using guidelines provided by the city that were informed by the North American Vexillological Association’s flag design principles. For the winning design, the judges on Vancouver’s flag selection committee chose to combine elements from two of the finalists’ entries. The new flag features a white, V-shaped band designed by Nathan Hunter separating fields of green and blue that evoke the city and region’s natural landscape. There’s also an abstract object created by Brooke Nugent that can symbolize Fort Vancouver, other local landmarks or an arrow pointing to the city’s future. Nugent and Hunter join us, along with city of Vancouver Communications Director Laura Shepard, to discuss the city’s new flag.
