Podcasts about small houses

In this episode of the Infill Podcast, YIMBY Law's Executive Director Sonja Trauss speaks with author Max Podemski about his new book "A Paradise of Small Houses: The Evolution, Devolution, and Potential Rebirth of Urban Housing." In his book, Podemski discusses the history of housing in the United States and the factors that drove housing production in our country's early days. Although today Americans typically view single-family detached homes as our American dream, Podemski tells the story of immigrants and working class communities whose dreams of dense, multi-family homes served as expressions of American ingenuity and social mobility. By looking at the history of cities like Boston and its triple deckers, or Los Angeles and its bungalow courts, we can see how the kinds of homes that cities are known for are tied to the the motivating factors for what types of housing was prioritized and why.  These lessons are particularly valuable today as our nation faces as shortage of homes, and Americans are seeking solutions for how to solve it. Our ideals about what kinds of homes should be prioritized in American culture are intrinsically tied to our historical views of class and race. Podemski's book gives us a unique lens into how these views have shaped our communities today. Tune in to hear more from Sonja Trauss and Max Podemski about "A Paradise of Small Houses," the history of housing in the US, and how our history is impacting us now. Learn more about YIMBY Action: https://yimbyaction.org/Follow YIMBY Action on Twitter: https://twitter.com/yimbyaction/Follow YIMBY Action on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/yimbyaction/Follow YIMBY Action on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/yimbyaction/Get the book: https://www.beacon.org/A-Paradise-of-Small-Houses-P2037.aspxArea Median Income Lookup: https://ami-lookup-tool.fanniemae.com/

Can solutions to California's housing crisis be found in how we used to design and build homes in the past, namely smaller multifamily dwellings in neighborhoods and cities with fewer zoning restrictions. That topic is explored by Los Angeles urban planner Max Podemski. In his new book, A Paradise of Small Houses. I met up with Podemski in the L.A. neighborhood of Eagle Rock. In California, tens of thousands of immigrants with Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals will soon be able to get health insurance. That's after President Joe Biden on Friday announced that those with DACA can enroll in Affordable Care Act coverage. The union representing some 48 thousand academic workers in the UC system is planning to hold a strike authorization vote as early as this week over what they say is the university's crackdown on pro-Palestinian protests. The decision to consider striking gained momentum after police action at UCLA that led to more than 200 arrests early last week. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Max Podemski is an urban planner, writer, and illustrator who currently serves as a transportation planner for the city of Los Angeles. In his new book, “A Paradise of Small Houses,” he traces the evolution of American housing types, from the Philadelphia row house and Chicago workers cottage to the California bungalow. Podemski argues, in my recent California Sun podcast, that California's rich history of desirable multifamily housing could hold a solution to the state's housing crisis.

What is Downsizing? Downsizing and the Small House Movement.

Ordinarily in September New Yorkers rivalry with Boston is heating up. Not this year. With the Red Sox 16 games back on the Yankees and neither the Patriots, Jets or Giants contending it might be time to focus on real estate and snag that second home on Nantucket you've been thinking about. Boston seems to be on pace to set new records this year despite fears of a national recession. Why? The biggest reason seems to be lack of real estate inventory in a market with strong job growth and continued strong job prospects. Boston may have experienced many of the same problems as New York City during the pandemic with the loss of live entertainment, restaurant, and tourism dollars but like New York is surging past pre-pandemic levels and attracting major new industries such as technology. I think one advantage Boston has always had is the number of universities in the area and the concentration of advanced degrees.What are the Boston real estate market predictions for 2022 and 2023? With steady job growth, huge gains in home equity, and a large population of millennials now in their peak homebuying years, it is predicted that the demand will stay strong, but sales are likely to be down from historic highs while price appreciation should fall to more modest levels.Since the last decade (May 2012), the typical home value in Boston-Cambridge-Newton Metro has appreciated by nearly 91.4% (Zillow Home Value Index). Boston has several key advantages: low percentage price growth in 2021 relative to other metros, average loan-to-value rate of only 79 percent, low share of flipped homes and loss of population last year. The Boston housing market is very competitive. Homes in Boston receive 3 offers on average and sell in around 21 days. The average sale price of a home in Boston was $760K last month, up 7.0% since last year. The average sale price per square foot in Boston is $612, down 5.6% since last year.Lisa Rainis - Manages Boston, the Suburbs and the IslandsCarl Lindvall - of The Holly Parker Team on NantucketJesse Greenstein  - in Boston & Martha's VineyardCraig Brody - sells Boston, the Suburbs, Nantucket & Cape CodJohnny Hatam - sells the big, fun Yankee Candle listing in Leverett for $23 millionJoin us Every Thursday at 4pm, Use the Meeting ID: http://zoom.us/j/92135931351Subscribe now: https://cutt.ly/ozGU5tV​​Boroughs & Burbs Past Episodes & Watch the full playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLn0GRA-Kf96kZyqcZligAocCKCaNoZP8qB&B 40: BobStefanowski: Critical Issues for Connecticut's Real Estate EconomyB&B 41: Ari Harkov on the NYC & Brooklyn Markets and Running a Top TeamB&B 42: Affordable Housing - Who Needs It? w/ Tony Hwang, Ryan Fazio, Scott Hobbs & Francis PickeringB&B 43: Benjamin Moore's Color Expert & Top Designers Talk Color TrendsB&B 44: Noah Rosenblatt of Urban Digs on the New York MarketB&B 45: Governor NedLamont.

In today's Passive Wealth Show  Thursday, May 6th at 12:30 PM Eastern, Bill & Wendy are joined by Jesse Russell, Builder, Founder and, Hiatus Homes CEO to discuss the small living movement, sustainable design, and zero energy ready tiny homes!   Jesse grew up in Bend, OR and after spending some time working in the TV industry in Los Angeles and New York, he decided to sell most of his possessions, return to Bend, and focus on building a tiny house.    Originally called Tongue and Groove Tiny Homes, Hiatus Homes was born in 2015 when Jesse built the first “Hiatus” as a tiny home on wheels in a friend's backyard.    After participating in the Bend Design Conference, they had the dream to build an innovative community focused on small home design.   Small and efficient home living is a fast-growing trend in the US and living in a smaller home is one of the best ways to impact the climate positively and fight climate change.    Their homes are 40 – 50% more efficient than the average American house. Their process allows them to create zero-energy homes for a reasonable cost. Studio and Two Bedroom designs are available in Bend, Oregon. Hiatus Homes plan to expand throughout the Pacific Northwest and the nation.   Jesse Russell is a known expert and frequently provides information, commentary, and speaking services in the field of real estate development and the construction of commercial, residential, and hotel property.    Some of his speaking engagements have included the Go Clean Energy Conference, Redmond Proficiency Academy class, Oregon Tiny House Symposium, and American Institute of Certified Planners.     Timestamps: 0:01 -  “Tiny house craze?

On this episode of Solutions News, we explore some solutions to the housing crisis in California. Namely, we discuss approaches that create more accessible, more affordable housing and how local zoning can either encourage or inhibit the density we need for more resilient, sustainable and vibrant urban cores. Our guest, environmental systems designer Art Ludwig, takes a systems approach to this topic as well, and proposes the use of alternative building materials, along with future thinking to design homes and communities that address the affordable housing crunch at the same time as the new dangers of changing environmental conditions. All of the solutions have one thing in common - the move away from large single family suburban houses - those ever larger McMansions that have been attached to the “American Dream” since 1946. We end the show with some great “didyaknows” and 12 reasons why choosing to live in a smaller home might actually lead to better things.

Were you guys are hooligans.WELL A friend of mine who lived over on the next street came to me for some reason we got the argument for something and I don't remember what it was.He got so mad and he took a swing and he hit me in the head and it hurt his hand so bad that he had to go into the host haven't taken care of and he came out. I won't say crying but you know we whimpering because it still hurts so bad apologized for getting so bad and stuff.Halloween trick or treating. We go on and never do dare. We knew there was nothing we'd be always be careful that we didn't do any damage to anything but we would make it known that we were there and. Maybe throw some toilet paper into the tree or something like that. I was amazed. I don't remember ever. Being with a bunch of guys were damaging something was one of us. The thing to do.One time one of the streets was being repaired and there's all kinds of cement blocks and stuff. It was Halloween again and it was a side street. So we went out and made a barricade in the middle of it with the stick with the building materials you know if the car had to get around they could and we decorated it so the body would hit it.So you kind of made you made a snow fort out of a building materials.What are some other memories you have like that having a baseball and of course the baseball cards softball excuse me feel that the old Franklin but the diamond was here in right field was the principal's office on the second floor and the goal was who could get it far enough and high enough to put out one of the windows.I was going to say Did anybody ever get anybody get a rack.But it was one of those you know things that laughable don't get a kick about.And we actually let her know that that was kind of a fun thing and she's oil is big enough and strong enough to have a ball she knew they would. And.You know another memory I have is north of KMag. If you go a few miles north there's an old Norwegian church there that still does it really do to Fisks supper or dinner. I don't know if they still do. One time my two brothers guy and another couple people went up there sat at the table and looked around. And here is the elementary school teachers. I'll give one name that a concerned member my Zanders third grade wonderful and wonderful lady that loved every one of us and we all loved her. But she was also a wonderful teacher. But I don't remember the names of the other. But there was either four or five of them sitting there and we sat there and just had the most fun time talking about schooling at Franklin and eating Fisk Yeah you were one of them finally said My brother was sitting on the start on the sidewalk. And when he says to the waiter would you mind stirring the plate here. So it ends up there because no one ever gets by him.That's the uniform in which appearance.So we talked a little earlier about the the little houses and how the house you grew up in.It's had a couple of different expansions if you will over the years. Could you imagine a family nowadays living into a house basically the size of the room that we're in right now.No. It had a total of six hundred twenty square feet and one bathroom that also was the laundry room and other things. And they had one sink a shower and a stool. That was the toilet Lowe's kitchen which was half as big as this room. And that's where we eat also. And then two small bedrooms each one about two thirds the size of this room. And then the other was open area which was just a general living space. And then when I guess they got their first TV like it was out of the service and came back. I told the story about the fake TV stories that you know we just lived in and I don't mean the TMT family but we because I think I see I've shared this now with others that live didn't have a bead yet you know six square block area that I lived in. We lived a happy life.Well first barbershop.OK. That if you looked out my front window he was in the building right over there and we'd sit there and say Burr's barbershop membership because they have sat in the front of it. That would be nice. They would say that and it was a wonderful place a good place where people would hang the old waiting for their haircuts cause sunburn can garments were there and they were the barbers in almost every athletic team in the West know whatever would come in there for their haircuts. So they look great cool and then all all member the old folks and let him cut his hair. But there's another one down in the corner of the tavern is now where barbershops back in those days kind of territorial.So you always went to bars and somebody always went to John sales and somebody I went to Smitty's and stuff like that.You had your barber shop and frankly your barber and you know you mentioned before on George Street. That was the mind of the tavern's from Reon Sam's on the north down to Paris barbershop there's a tavern there now and he was there and then there's the whole building now.And then the North Star the WW. And I can't think of the name of the other one but they weren't drunken places. There were places where people they had their their bar that they go and sit and talk and have a beer or two you know and that sort of thing. Do you remember your first beer. He was at the WWE tavern and just a very very small class and he was one I said when I'd go over there on a new year's eve and Christmas Eve also but New Year's Eve because Trinity Lutheran those days had a watch service at 11 to 12 Michael so I'd go pick up the in the tenor section at the w w we go down there and go on and one time they said here you deserve one. And you know just the littlest. Oh I know. All three owns classes like this and I don't know that he. Drank it all and they all got a kick out of it.And a nice glass of Pepsi Pepsi would have them because I know we were on the Pepsi side of the Pepsi Coke for other than the north side of lacross called Just lacross or was it called Southside or was well what was the name of South of North lacross. Well we called it the south side on the north side but it was all the city of the cross and that.We have heard crowd er side as they were this house I don't mean to put them down or anything but the south side was just spread so far. I can't remember the name of the man who developed what was the village shopping center before he developed that. If you drove up way back in the back corner about where the central football field is.There was a small restaurant that was as far south as the Cross went.Basically you know there were some housing and stuff but the that Evoque area ended there and then I can think of the man's name but he then the vote the village shopping centre which created a lot of other development and then the hoses that are south of there particularly on the east side were developed by a developer and he was basically copying the houses that were built up in Minneapolis. He may even come from there. I don't look at them when I used to do the history that I don't remember all that much but that's why so many of them look very much alike. Is that way the North Side is sometimes considered like Old Town and Old Town north because it was the where basically the Cross started and kind of spread out from here well there and the immediate downtown area you know Cass Street King Street Market Street and that sort of thing from there. Yeah there was there that was really the original lacross and the the rich. Don't tell anybody not to ask there was that the original among the patrons were there all of their homes the big ones and chaos and King those buying mansions.That's where they lived were you ever friends with people from.You mentioned Onalaska so like Onalaska or Kusum his cousin's mother and uncle he didn't work at the brewery and he'd ride in there and stuff and he died like my father at a very young age. He's my father's brother but the air telephone operation from Alaska was in their living room it was all very small it was just a very very small community all the way through the the fifties kind of a troublemaker.It's a bit I'm a person who loves to put ideas out there and maybe even get people to think about things
