This Strong Towns podcast episode features Chuck Marohn addressing listener questions about housing, particularly in Bozeman, Montana. He critiques the current role of local governments in losing money to subsidize limited housing and argues against relying on federal aid. Marohn champions local financing mechanisms like tax increment financing, highlighting Muskegon’s successful approach to building entry-level homes.
