Episode Description

What if America's housing crisis needs more than just rezoning existing cities? Congressman Jake Auchincloss (MA-04) joins us to make the case for building entirely new cities from scratch. We dive deep into the practical details: site selection, tax increment financing, transit connectivity, and the politics of making it happen. 

Plus, Jake explains why he prefers talking about "cost disease" over "abundance," discusses autonomous vehicles and walkable communities, and warns about the dangers of digital dopamine merchants. Whether you're a skeptic or a believer in new cities, you'll learn something new about how America can build again.
