On the next municipal equation.
My sense is that there really are, you know, there really should be a continuum where you yes. You have a dense urban space, but recognize that as people get older, as they wanna own a home, as they wanna raise a family, as they want to, send their kids to decent schools, that they wanna have, a a less congested daily life, that most people, the vast majority for economic reasons and very often by preference, will look to live in in more suburban locations.
Our guest is Joel Kotkin, whose latest book takes a different view on urban planning and density, what constitutes cities that are focused on people's actual wants and needs, and what's happening in the suburbs. He's often seen as a controversial figure on these topics, but we will hear what he's talking about, and we'll also hear his thoughts on the importance of local government autonomy when it comes to doing business for the people at home. That's on the next municipal equation from the North Carolina League of Municipalities online at nclm.0rg. You can catch all the episodes of the podcast there or at soundcloud.com/municipalequation on iTunes and all the popular podcast apps. Follow on Twitter at muni equation. That's at m u n I equation.
