Think and Act Locally

If housing feels impossibly expensive, one answer is that a smaller home, a less in-demand place, or a slower climb may simply be part of starting out and working your way up. But what if getting the house that has long stood at the center of the American Dream also pulls you farther from the jobs, family, community, or daily life you actually value? Continuing the conversation from Kevin Klinkenberg’s Messy City Podcast episode, “Is the Housing ‘Crisis’ Real?”, Chuck Marohn sits down with Kevin, urban designer Camille Cortes, and architectural designer Sheinya Joseph to ask whether younger adults can...

On today's episode, Andy answers your questions on how to stop feeling guilty about taking time off from your business, what to do when your boss says you're "too good" to be promoted, and how to handle feeling behind when your friends and competitors are passing you.

*Would you actually call for help if you saw someone in trouble — or would you quietly assume someone else already had it covered?*

Today's episode digs into one of the most eye-opening psychological biases from The Tuttle Twins Guide to Beware Your Bias: the bystander effect. It's the counterintuitive reason that being surrounded by more people when something goes wrong often makes it LESS likely that anyone actually helps, not more — and Brittany is quick to point out that this isn't because people are secretly bad or uncaring. It's just how our brains are wired when responsibility gets...

What if an extra bedroom could make housing more affordable for a student while helping an older adult stay in their home? Alison Donnally founded Joey Co. to pair students looking for housing with older adults who have space to spare and could use help with everyday tasks. Students pay rent, earn money back through agreed-upon work, and gain a different kind of connection to the community around them. Donnally talks about what makes these matches work, why home sharing is still unusual in the U.S., and what this model reveals about how many housing options we’ve le...

Near El Morro, one of Puerto Rico’s most recognizable historic sites, a government road project called for cutting down 26 mature trees, widening a road, adding a roundabout, and turning part of a grassy area into parking. Giancarlo Gonzalez, an Old San Juan resident and founding member of a Strong Towns Local Conversation in San Juan, explains how neighbors discovered the plan and began asking why it was needed at all. Their petition has drawn more than 8,000 signatures, pulled the National Park Service into the fight, and forced new scrutiny of a project residents say was moving forward without th...

Bastrop, Texas just voted to cover its Flock surveillance cameras and put contract termination on the agenda. Dozens of residents showed up. The city acted in one meeting. Here's how it happened, and how you can do the same thing in your town.

In this episode of Live Free Now, John Bush breaks down the Bastrop Flock fight from the inside: the open records requests, the contract clauses nobody read, the difference between the two Flock audit reports that ended Pflugerville's program, and the exact steps activists can use to get automatic license plate readers out of...

A Los Angeles couple set out to build a 400-square-foot backyard home for about $300,000, only to watch the final cost climb to $600,000 in a project recently profiled by Lisa Boone in the Los Angeles Times. Norm Van Eeden Petersman talks with Tamara White of Small Housing and Mary Coddington, founder of 12 Incorporated, about what pushed the cost so high. The couple chose an ambitious design and built on a difficult site, but they also had two major advantages many small housing projects never get: they already owned the land, and they were allowed to build. If the land and...

Returning champion Aaron Lubeck joins me to discuss his exceptional piece called, “Revisiting Euclid v. Ambler at 100,” which he posted on his Substack “On Housing.” Aaron also posts and helps curate “Southern Urbanism” - an excellent publication I highly recommend.

While a lot of ink has been spilled and words shared about the impact of the Euclid v Ambler case, Aaron’s column adds some new wrinkles and information to it that even surprised me. We talk in some detail about the case itself, the arguments made, and the people you might be surprised that were considered the “out” grou...

You already know exactly what you'd want at your own birthday party — so what happens when a total stranger on the other side of the world tries to plan it for you?

Brittany uses birthday parties to explain one of economics' biggest ideas: the knowledge problem. She starts personal, admitting she never lets anyone else plan her own birthday, because nobody knows her favorite food, cake flavor, music, and guest list better than she does. It's a little bit of a control-freak habit, she jokes, but it makes a serious point: real self-knowledge is almost impossible for so...

After moving to Chattanooga, Lisa hit three potholes in three years and ended up buying five new tires. She knew people elsewhere had taken pothole repairs into their own hands, and as a mosaic artist, she already had the materials to try her own version. Soon, bright smiley faces started appearing in Chattanooga’s streets. They attracted attention from drivers, neighbors, and eventually the city itself, raising questions about safety, public space, and what happens when one resident decides to fix something in her own strange, joyful way. Now Lisa keeps stacks of smileys in her car, ready for th...

Taking a recent Twitter exchange as a springboard, Bob argues that George Selgin has unwittingly conceded the entire argument they had at the SoHo Forum: namely, fractional reserve banking by its very essence causes a mismatch between the community's saving and the funds made available for loans via the banks.

After six years of legal fights, we finally have a federal court ruling in Chuck’s dispute with Minnesota’s engineering licensing board. Chuck and Strong Towns executive director John Reuter go back to the complaint that started the case, why Chuck’s temporarily lapsed license became the opening for the board’s action, and how a dispute over his public advocacy turned into years of hearings and litigation. Chuck also reflects on reaching the end of a fight that has followed him for years and what the decision could mean for other engineers who have held back from speaking...

Yesterday I went to a Bastrop City Council workshop because Flock cameras were on the agenda.

Was the first time I've engaged a local or state government in a LONG time.

It was a packed house. The council said it was the most people they'd ever had at one of these workshops. Person after person got up to speak against Flock. Exactly one person registered in favor, and they didn't even speak.

I got the chance to speak twice during citizens communication, and I'm playing both of those videos on today's show.

A six-year-old rides his scooter to a playground a quarter mile from home. Two days later, Child Protective Services is at his family’s door. His case is one of several in a recent New York Times article asking whether letting children play outside alone has effectively become a crime. Chuck Marohn talks with Lenore Skenazy, founder of the Free-Range Kids movement and president of Let Grow, and planner and pedestrian-safety advocate Angie Schmitt about “worst-first thinking,” neglect laws, and the decline of walking and biking to school. Parents are expected to raise capable, independent kids while also keeping them u...
