We’ve almost banned multifamily housing in states like CA by accident, zoning our way out of solutions. @MaxPodemski says urban housing is the solution we need to face the housing crisis. @KQED buff.ly/3WCYhEH

Can solutions to LA’s housing crisis be found in how we used to design smaller, multifamily dwellings in the past? @MaxPodemski talks about the possibilities with @SaulGonzalezCA on @KQED. buff.ly/3WCYhEH

Why does LA have so much architectural variety compared to other big cities? @MaxPodemski says it goes back to Midwesterners who escaped from the East to reinvent themselves in Southern CA. Architecture became a means of expression. buff.ly/49kE7C0

We used to be quite good at providing denser, affordable housing in cities in the late 19th through late 20th century. What happened? @MaxPodemski has the lowdown. buff.ly/49kE7C0

Fast forward to 34:18 to listen to @MaxPodemski talk about dingbats on @AirTalk! Not the font, but the car-friendly urban housing structures in LA that were celebrated and then became illegal. buff.ly/49kE7C0

Housing nerds — the new @MaxPodemski book on North American urban housing typologies is coming March 26, and it’s fantastic. I got to read a galley a few months ago and was happy to provide a blurb! Preorder from your favorite bookseller, you won’t regret it.
