In this episode we look at the American Planning Association's 2024 Trend Report for Planners. We look at their housing, politics, and climate sections among others. The report leaves a lot to be desired. Correction: I meant to say 1924/1920 when referring to the Georgist presidential candidates, not 2024/2020. Subscribe to the Patreon for $2 per month!

In this episode, I (Rynn, the host of this operation) get interviewed by Stephen Wallace of the Annapolis, Maryland Sunrise Movement chapter.

This is the first time I have ever been interviewed, and it's kind of surreal to get asked to do this. Thank you so much to Stephen for r...
