Imagine if HGTV got a little Bravo drama and a dose of NPR self-awareness — that’s us. We're veering off the paved path of perfectly vanilla MLS listings: hitting potholes, swerving off topic/off-script sometimes, with backup opinions, backup stories, backup facts, backup plans, and backup guests — the chaos of real estate and real life. If you’ve ever treated Zillow like a guilty pleasure, fallen down a listing rabbit hole, cried over an inspection report, or survived a deal worthy of its own reunion episode — grab a drink, pull up a chair, and settle in. You’re our kind of people. xoxo

    Who Can Afford to Live in Ithaca? Inside INHS & the Housing Challenge

    What does it take to make housing affordable—and keep it that way? Lindsay Hart and Chelsey Smith sit down with Kate de la Garza, Executive Director of Ithaca Neighborhood Housing Services, to explore how INHS helps people rent, buy, repair, and remain in their homes across the Finger Lakes. From Village Grove in Trumansburg to Compass manufactured housing, Kate shares the work behind building stronger communities. We discuss first-time homebuyer education, down payment assistance, home repair programs, and how the Community Housing Trust balances building equity with keeping homes affordable for future buyers. Plus: affordable housing misconceptions, energy-efficient construction, rising building costs, and why water and sewer infrastructure play such a big role in the housing shortage.

Imagine if HGTV got a little Bravo drama and a dose of NPR self-awareness — that’s us. We're veering off the paved path of perfectly vanilla MLS listings: hitting potholes, swerving off topic/off-script sometimes, with backup opinions, backup stories, backup facts, backup plans, and backup guests — the chaos of real estate and real life. If you’ve ever treated Zillow like a guilty pleasure, fallen down a listing rabbit hole, cried over an inspection report, or survived a deal worthy of its own reunion episode — grab a drink, pull up a chair, and settle in. You’re our kind of people. xoxo
