I had a great time sitting down with Stephanie Nakleh for a live conversation this past week, and I’m sharing it with you in place of our regular weekly article. Stephanie writes one of my favorite Substacks on housing and land use, and she asked some great questions.
We covered a lot of ground. We started with the Road to Housing Act, and the importance of streamlining duplicative regulations. We also talked about the cascading costs of evictions, what makes green and affordable housing is simply good business, and why we should spend less time worrying about whether or private capital cares and more time focused on attracting the kind of private capital that can add value to our communities.
And, because I clearly had too many cups of coffee before we started talking, Stephanie let me talk about all of things that keep driving me nuts after 30+ years in the business.
None of this is rocket science. Give it a watch, follow Stephanie on Substack, and let us know what you think.
