This week the boys discuss one of the most controversial ideas alluded to by the Strong Towns organization: “legalize slums.” Strong Towns is a non-profit organization that advocates for walkable neighborhoods, higher-density housing, ending parking minimums and many other urbanist policies but they have largely avoided addressing the topic of informal housing. While “legalize slums” can be interpreted quite literally, Joseph and Nathan envision on this week’s episode that the slogan can be used as a dysphemism for vernacular architecture, higher density housing, loosening zoning restrictions, and reducing permitting hurdles for new construction. Amongst other things they discuss Jane Jacobs, Englewood, the migrant crisis, and San Francisco NIMBYs.
