Building This Community

I’m doing a bit of double promotion here. My sister-in-law @mh_klump just released her first book, A Dash of Death, and I’m giving away 4 hard copies. All you have to do is follow my podcast, @BuildingThisCom, for a chance to win! Retweet for a second entry!

Really enjoyed our interview with @TimFindleyJr @ForFindley. He provided a lot of insightful ideas for our growing our city from the bottom up, and suggested an interesting and under discussed concept, a soda tax. Check it out.

Excited to have interviewed @RunWithCraig on our podcast. Craig shared a lot of interesting policy ideas, and I really like his concept to start using the 600+ vacant properties that Metro Louisville owns. A great start to our Louisville mayoral candidate series. Check it out.

In case you missed it, we had a great interview with Natalie Harris of @louhomeless discussing the spectrum of homelessness across the country and Louisville as well as possible solutions. Give it a listen.

I first heard Mayor Brainard on @Freakonomics and loved the discussion on rotaries and roundabouts. This interview just continues that important conversation.

This was a fun interview. We love giving our guests a platform to give their perspective. Because of that we tend to get candid interviews. @1CardsFan gave some great insight into the Louisville business community.

My mentor @LevinsonAriana is as insightful as ever in this interview. If you have any interest in unions, cooperatives, or the @The490Project then this is a must listen.

For me, this conversation really drove home the fact that it’s hard to achieve all the benefits of successful streets and a well connected city without also prioritizing density. The two are intertwined, but the benefits are nearly innumerable. Check out the interview:
