Interview with Jeff Fong
Strong Towns, transportation, better suburbs, and parenting
Earlier this week I joined Jeff Fong on Substack Live. For those of you who caught this live, thanks for watching! For everyone else, the video and audio are now available on his newsletter, if you’re interested:
It was a fun discussion, where we covered a few of my favorite topics.
Unproductive land use and the fiscal problems most cities face
How the pre-war development model was fast, and things we can learn from it
The legitimate challenges of car-only transportation
Ideas for better suburban growth
Thoughts on parenting in cities and freedom for kids
I think my audio could have been better (😅), but overall I thought it came out pretty well. If you heard it (or go listen now), happy to answer questions or hear your feedback here. Thanks!
