While wages have flatlined for most working class people, rents have reached new highs, leaving most people struggling. But it's not just in the US. The rising cost of living is affected the entire world. Samuel Stein's new book, Capital City and the Real Estate State, highlights the growing influence of investment capital into land as the driving force behind gentrification and the power developers have over city and local governments. We talk to Samuel about the rise of the global real estate market and we look at how radical city planning, rent control and socialized land projects can help fight gentrification. 

Andrew Schustek and Samuel Stein continue their conversation on the inner workings of American housing policy, this time focusing on subsidies, affordable housing, and signs of weakness/vulnerability in the “real estate state.”  Subscribe to listen to the whole episode

As we emerge, hopefully, from this COVID-19 pandemic, New York is heading straight into a housing crisis. At some point the moratoriums on evictions and foreclosures will be lifted, and an awful lot of New Yorkers will not have the money to pay their back rent, or their mortgage arrears. What will this mean – not just for tenants, homeowners and landlords – but for New Yorkers at large? Bob talks about this with Dr. Samuel Stein, a housing policy analyst at the Community Service Society, and the co-author of a study on the looming mortgage crisis facing New York.

Community Service Society of New York president and chief executive officer David Jones and housing policy analyst Samuel Stein talk about the CSS report assessing Mayor de Blasio's housing plan, and ways City Hall impacts housing, homelessness and affordability.

Urban planners are encouraged to make interventions that only raise land and property values—even when they’re trying to do something entirely different. The contradiction is at the heart of what author Samuel Stein calls the real estate state.

Red May is a month-long festival of radical thought and art that brings together speakers and thinkers to explore alternatives to capitalism. This event centered the discussion on investment and expansion in our own city. Here’s what the organizers of Red May have to say about this evening: “You think it’s your home but it’s their investment. You think you belong in this city. In reality, you’re just collateral damage. Ask the Urban Growth Machine and the Electeds who enable its relentless expansion. They’ve written your ticket out of here. You can live in the Rust Belt, Detroit or Cleveland, where rents are cheap. You can retire to Mexico: dental care is so affordable there. Buy a trailer and hit the open road. Sleep in a shelter. Or on the street. Or just die. Face it, all you do here is occupy space that has higher and better uses: space to host the Olympics or the World Cup, to house a high-paid, high-tech work force that can afford the restaurants and the rents. How did it get to this point? Who made it happen? And how can we turn that world upside down? Tonight, we convene the Red May City Council to investigate these matters and map new urban struggles.” Cedric Johnson is associate professor of African American studies and political science at the University of Illinois at Chicago. He is the author of From Revolutionaries to Race Leaders: Black Power and the Making of African American Politics and editor of The Neoliberal Deluge: Hurricane Katrina, Late Capitalism and the Remaking of New Orleans. Shaun Scott is a Seattle-based writer and historian and candidate for Seattle City Council District 4. His reflections on race, cinema and American spectacle have appeared in The Monarch Review and New Worker Magazine. He writes the thread “Faded Signs” for City Arts Magazine, a semi-weekly column about cultural life under late capitalism. Mimi Sheller, Ph.D., is Professor of Sociology and founding Director of the Center for Mobilities Research and Policy at Drexel University in Philadelphia. She is founding co-editor of the journalMobilities and past President of the International Association for the History of Transport, Traffic and Mobility. Samuel Stein is a geography PhD student at the CUNY Graduate Center and an Urban Studies instructor at Hunter College. His work focuses on the politics of urban planning, with an emphasis on housing, real estate and gentrification in New York City. He is the author of Capital City: Gentrification and the Real Estate State. This event is part of Red May, a month-long festival of radical art and thought. Our motto is: take a vacation from capitalism. Click here for a full schedule of events. Recorded live at The Summit by Town Hall Seattle on May 17, 2019.

Samuel Stein, author of 'Capital City: Gentrification and the Real Estate State' from Verso Books, comes on the pod to explain why neoliberalism will have us all living in pods if we don't do something about the global housing crisis. We discuss the rise of the FIRE sector. We demystify the concept of gentrification. We isolate the fundamental contradictions of housing as a commodity. We unpack the ways in which even the most well-meaning progressive politicians and planners are utterly constrained by the system itself. And, as is our want, we take a profound plunge into how workers have organized for the right to housing in the past and how we might ultimately fight to slay the housing monster.

To explain the dynamics of gentrification and its relationship to real estate companies, city planners and labor unions and how it has taken hold in New York City and many other major cities in the United States is Samuel Stein, a geography Ph.D. candidate at The Graduate Center, CUNY and an Urban Studies Instructor at Hunter College. His work focuses on the politics of urban planning with an emphasis on housing, real estate and gentrification in New York City, which is captured in his new book: Capital City: Gentrification and the Real Estate State (Verso, March 2019). Stein's book tour launches this evening in New York City.
