On Housing with Aaron Lubeck

Aaron Lubeck and I sat down in Cincinnati, during CNU 32, to talk a lot about housing, policy, and how to actually make change. Aaron writes a Substack called On Housing, where he frequently explores these issues. And, he’s one of the founders of Southern Urbanism, which has a terrific array of writers and feature pieces.

Some of the posts we discuss:

I am Going to Gring Back the Sears Home

What’s Next for Jane Jacobs’ Sidewalk Ballet?

A Brief Detour to Honor My Old Lady
