Show Notes
For most of American history, if you didn’t like your circumstances, you could move somewhere new and reinvent yourself — but that freedom has been slowly stripped away. In this episode, historian and journalist Yoni Appelbaum uncovers how zoning laws, segregation, and discriminatory policies have made mobility a privilege of the wealthy, trapping generations in poverty. Cutting through a century of myth, he reveals how we got here — and how we can get moving again.
