    Now and Then: Trends of Reno's housing design through the years w/guest Mike McGonagle

    Welcome back to another episode of Off The Dais. The stressed housing market in Reno continues to put economic pressures on an increasing population. This includes current residents, and people moving to the area—households of all different life stages. Housing starts with design and this week I had a lengthy conversation with Mike McGonagle. An architect, business owner, and compulsive public records hacker, Mike reads the tea leaves of the local real estate market from a unique perspective. Mike earned his Masters of Architecture from Harvard School of Design.

    The Highs and Lows of HOA's: The role Homeowner Associations serve in Reno

    HOA's or Homeowner Associations (and other affiliated names) are something many Reno communities are apart of...but what are they really? What role do they provide, and in current times, what are they being asked to manage? On this episode of Off The Dais, Jenny speaks with award winning high-rise HOA president Ronda Theisen, and Don Lamers, a Supervising Community Association Manager about the highs and lows of taking on leadership duties in the communities they live in or represent.  Thank you for listening! _________________________________ Subscribe to Jenny's Newsletter: https://jennybrekhus.substack.com/ Follow Jenny on IG @brekhusjenny Follow Jenny on Twitter @jennybrekhus Follow Jenny on FB @Jenny-Brekhus-for-Reno-Mayor Email us your suggested topics and guests for upcoming episodes at offthedais@gmail.com All clipped audio is taken from Reno City Council meetings which are available to the public online.

    Not Holding Back: The Problem with Reno's Retaining Walls

    Rockery and Retaining walls. What are they? How do they work? What happens when they fail? And who pays when they need repairs? Since at least 2018, Jenny has inquired about current standards regarding community retaining walls, and has asked to have these standards reviewed, to no avail. Now, on the first episode of OFF THE DAIS, Jenny speaks with Ken McNeil, a resident of Sommersett, who has appeared before the Reno City Council many times on the topic, and Brooke Siem, a Ward 4 resident, and HOA president of her townhouse community.  Hear their stories and learn how failing retaining walls in these communities have impacted them and their neighbors now!
