But first, Peter and Paul talk about government restrictions on manufactured homes as well as efforts by state officials to override local opposition to upzoning. (For those interested in doing a little extra reading about how houses are shrinking, here is a deep dive from the New York Times .) And the episode ends with a surprising paper about how unions actually lower wages. Hosted on Acast.
