Jason Cox of the Monroe Companies joins Geoff to discuss his work revitalizing downtown Graham, NC through historic rehabs and infill projects. They explore the outsized influence of fire departments and oversized apparatus on street design, zoning, and urban form—contrasting U.S. practices with more human-scaled European cities—along with Jason’s self-described identity as a “rural urbanist” who splits time between a small hobby farm and vibrant walkable places. The conversation also covers how building codes and institutional private equity tilt the system toward large-scale development, the need for honest conversations on topics like data centers, and North Carolina’s pragmatic approach to economic development.Show notes at the Yeoman website.
