This week on the pod, Gene Brake, Spokane-based Realtor, civil rights activist, and neighborhood leader joins us to talk about:
How the local Realtor association is spending heavily in local political races and the un-democratic process they use to decide who gets their support
How administrative dysfunction on the one hand and restrictive zoning on the other are affecting our ability to build the housing we need.
One neighborhood’s plan to build densely in targeted areas to both provide more homes while still keeping the area affordable for its mostly low-income residents.
From skyrocketing cost of living to public safety to what could happen to the millionaires tax, we covered a lot of ground. See where candidates running for Congress, WA Legislature, state Supreme Court and Spokane County Auditor land.
