Policies and Projects That Can Fix America's Small Towns with Councilman Brandon Harnish

In this podcast, Will and returning guest Councilman Brandon Harnish get granular and discuss the sorts of local projects and policies that can help revive America's small towns. They discuss the importance of a downtown and urban density, why fixing crime is the basis of any successful society, balancing amenities and business, and the controversial topic of property taxes. They also discuss how viewing a town like a grand estate helps solve the malinvestment problem, what type of buildings are needed to keep the government in the black, and why growth isn't always good. They also debate the virtues of the book "Small Towns".
