Pittsburgh's lost more than half its population since our peak in 1950, and our city has more than 20,000 vacant homes. How do we also have a housing crisis? Public Source's Charlie Wolfson joins host Megan Harris to explain why so many houses are sitting empty, what (if anything) the city can do about it, and why our neighbors in Cleveland are doing a much better job turning abandoned houses into affordable homes.

Seattle's office vacancy hits 26.6%—second worst in America—and incoming socialist Mayor Katie Wilson thinks the solution is… taxing empty buildings and boycotting Starbucks? You can't make this up. While businesses flee across the lake to Bellevue, Seattle doubles down on payroll taxes, millionaire taxes, and vacancy fines. Meanwhile, a 75-year-old woman gets her eye gouged out by a "regular" attacker downtown, and Ross Dress for Less finally abandons what might be the worst retail location in North America. Amazon's already moved 10,000+ employees out of Seattle, but sure, let's slap on a statewide payroll tax—what could go wrong? As Katie Wilson prepares to take office calling for Starbucks boycotts, one question looms: How many more businesses need to evacuate before Seattle realizes you can't tax your way to prosperity? Is this economic suicide or just standard Democrat playbook? Will downtown Seattle become a ghost town of empty towers? Drop your predictions below, hit that subscribe button, and let's watch this trainwreck unfold together.

Baltimore has spent decades trying — and often failing — to solve one of its most stubborn problems: thousands of vacant homes hollowing out neighborhoods and fueling cycles of crime, poverty and disinvestment. Now city leaders say the stars may finally be aligned. In pockets of Baltimore, new housing is going up, crime has fallen, and officials are rolling out the most ambitious revitalization effort in a generation. But not every neighborhood is seeing change, and residents in some areas say they're still being asked to wait. USA TODAY housing reporter Andrea Riquier joins The Excerpt to break down Baltimore's “go hard, but intentional” strategy, the risks if private and philanthropic funding falls short, and what signs to watch in 2026 to know whether this renaissance is real — or could stall like past efforts. She also explains what Baltimore's approach could mean for other cities struggling with urban blight.Have feedback on the show? Please send us an email at podcasts@usatoday.com.

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. You can find the show on Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, X (formerly Twitter), and LinkedIn, as well as read companion articles and updates on Medium, Blogspot, YouTube, and even IMDB. 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.

Political Correspondent, Mícheál Lehane previews the launch and publication of the Government's National Housing Plan.

The Poway City Council held a special meeting to determine its next steps in the wake of last week's recall and resignation of a council member. Then, a South Bay school will close at the end of this school year. And, researchers are trying to find out if GLP-1 weight loss drugs could be used to fight long COVID.

Kristina Garrison, a Ukrainian-raised San Franciscan turned globetrotting mom of two, and her classically trained chef husband David Garrison have just soft-opened Grub Smokehouse in a coworking-space kitchen in Youngsville/Wake Forest, NC—their non-traditional barbecue haven born from a hole-in-the-wall California burger joint shut by COVID, four-and-a-half years of culinary inspiration across Europe and Israel, and a ChatGPT-assisted leap to the Tar Heel State with five suitcases and zero local ties. In week three of word-of-mouth operations, they're smoking everything in-house (12-day-brined pastrami, scratch sauces, seasonal salads, daily sweet-potato cinnamon rolls) on a shoestring DIY buildout, balancing 14-hour grinds with yoga, cold plunges, and an industry discount while betting that perfect-bite flavor symphonies and organic influencer meals will turn curious locals into loyal regulars in a growing melting-pot market.10 Key Takeaways Non-traditional BBQ = perfect-bite melody: Every sandwich/sSant is engineered for balanced flavor layers—smoky meats, house pickles, scratch sauces, seasonal produce—so one bite sings like a song.  No shortcuts, no cans: Zero preservatives, no can opener in the kitchen; everything brined, smoked, pickled, or baked fresh daily (pastrami alone: 12-day brine → smoke → steam).  Tiny menu, massive focus: Just 5 sandwiches, a few salads, 2 desserts—narrow to nail execution and avoid waste (day-old bread becomes bread pudding).  Global palate, local roots: Four-plus years in Croatia, Italy, Spain, Israel re-inspired Kristina & David Garrison; now sourcing from NC farmers and a local bakery to keep it fresh and community-supported.  DIY on a dime: Vacant coworking kitchen → smoker install + handmade wallpaper/paint; low overhead lets labor-intensive quality shine despite inflation squeezes.  Organic growth > paid hype: Soft-open via word-of-mouth + free meals for genuine local foodies/influencers; authenticity trumps bots or fake reviews.  Balance is the new hustle: Yoga, breathwork, sauna, cold plunges replace the old “work hard, party hard” chef culture—keeps Kristina & David Garrison fit and sustainable long-term.  Know your niche, own your price: Slightly higher tabs justified by love and prep; not for everyone, but perfect for foodies who crave preservative-free craftsmanship.  First year = grind with savings: Expect 12–14-hour days, weight loss, dual jobs; success demands 1-year runway and DNA-level passion (they almost opened a second CA spot pre-COVID).  Community heartbeat: Industry discount + rising-tide networking; independent restaurants remain essential third places for real human connection in a screen-heavy world.

The boys are back to discuss the vacated title by Seth, a NEW US Champ and AEW WrestleDream results and more on this episode.

What does it really take to bring a crumbling historic building back to life—and turn it into a thriving, income-producing community space? In this episode, Brian Hamrick sits down with Brad Andrus, commercial real estate investor, broker, and developer behind the ambitious restoration of the Fine Arts Theater in Denton, Texas. Brad shares the full story: from its beginnings as an undertaker's shop in the early 1900s, to its heyday as a bustling single-screen theater, to decades of vacancy after fire damage—and now, its rebirth as a live performance, film, and event venue. You'll learn: The hidden challenges of historic renovations—from roof failures to unexpected structural issues. How federal and state historic tax credits can make or break the capital stack. Why city and community partnerships are essential in adaptive reuse projects. How to balance profitability with legacy-minded investing. The role of AI tools in Brad's real estate business and his new podcast Weeks Ahead AI. Whether you're passionate about historic preservation, curious about adaptive reuse, or an investor exploring creative real estate strategies, this conversation reveals the opportunities—and the pitfalls—of breathing new life into old buildings.
