Podcast Recommendation:

The fact that much of the younger generation prefers urban living is often presented as them making an aesthetic choice, and we don’t appreciate to the degree that it is a financial choice. To live in a place that requires a car, and driving all the time, is expensive. Yeah, living in a downtown is expensive, or living in a city is expensive, but if you can find a neighborhood where the rent isn’t so high, has access to transit and has things within walking distance, that’s actually an affordable choice for a lot of young people.
Former Mayor of Seattle, Michael McGinn, discusses the tunneling project currently underway in Seattle, the discussions that led to the decision to proceed with a tunnel and subsequent actions by the governor, legislature and city to deal with the aftermath. McGinn also discusses the tradeoffs of how we fund transportation and what it will take to start spending less and getting more.
