    Joshua B. Freeman on Garden Apartments, and the Secret Policy that Juiced Apartment Building

    Joshua B. Freeman, professor of history at Queens College CUNY, and author of "Garden Apartments: The History of a Low-Rent Utopia", is here to discuss to discuss this almost invisible history of combining greenspace with dense low-rise apartments. We cover the radical ideology (georgist and otherwise) that inspired this movement, compare it against European social housing, and discuss how it actually came into action in the New Deal and beyond. Special focus on the secret history of Section 608, and how subtle policy details in government insurance of mortgages for rental apartments turbo-charged their production. What can we learn from this for the future of production of missing middle, social housing, and more?

    Nicholas Laschkewitsch on California's Great America land sale and closure

    Nicholas Laschkewitsch is with the American Coaster Enthusiasts (N. California chapter), and has been a lifelong fan of Santa Clara's amusement park, California's Great America. Until 2019, the city owned the land; just a few years after selling the land off, the operator resold the land for a profit and announced the closure of the park. We talk more about this, as well as larger issues of how urban areas and recreation coincide, the future of amusement parks, coaster NIMBYs, and much more.

    Josh Junker is back with more info deep from Cincy archives: what can we learn from decades of development snafus in Cincinnati's core‒what does this mean for systems of private/public cooperation, and what could be done better? Also updates on how the Cincinnati municipal rail sale turned out, talk about interstate transit planning (Josh's op-ed here), and the surreal proposals that the city commissioned to use the subway for non-subway purposes (Josh proposes using the subway tunnels for subways).
