Hosted by Tiffany Owens Reed, it’s all about how regular people have stepped up to make their communities more economically resilient, and how others can implement these ideas in their own places. We’ll talk about taking concrete action steps, connecting with fellow advocates to build power, and surviving the bumps along the way—all in the pursuit of creating stronger towns.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-30T20:18:28.999332+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-bottom-up-revolution-515360"},"episode":{"title":"The Housing Choices Cities Are Missing","slug":"the-housing-choices-cities-are-missing","published_at":"2026-06-18T10:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-bottom-up-revolution-515360/the-housing-choices-cities-are-missing","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-bottom-up-revolution-515360","url":"https://littlethings.strongtowns.org/e/the-housing-choices-cities-are-missing/","audio_url":"https://mcdn.podbean.com/mf/web/jch3i9iw6n32ni6p/BUR_6-18-26.mp3","summary":"Zoning reform matters, but Eric Kronberg says it is not enough on its own. Cities also need useful building types, realistic development math, better street design, thoughtful tax policy, and a clearer vision for what good neighborhoods can become. He and Tiffany explore why many cities say they want more housing but still make the most useful housing types illegal or impractical. They also talk about compact cottages, missing middle housing, Atlanta’s affordability challenges, and the overlooked power of a simple box, a good porch, and a house people can picture on their own block.
