Planning for Affordable Housing with Kara Anne Rodenhizer and Ryann Wolf

May 5
43 mins

Episode Description

What does a planning board actually do...and why does it matter for whether people can afford to live in a community?

Liz talks with Kara and Ryann about how local decisions shape the housing crisis in New Hampshire, from zoning rules to who shows up (and who doesn’t) at public meetings. Topics include workforce housing, common misconceptions, and the real people being priced out of the communities they serve.

If you’ve ever wondered why your local barista - or childcare worker - can’t afford to live nearby… well, this episode is for you.
