<p>A Massachusetts town budgeted $600,000 for snow and ended up spending $6 million clearing its streets. Norm Van Eeden Petersman, Daniel Herriges, and Gracen Johnson trace the links between winter operations, stormwater, supply chains, labor, and land use in cities facing serious snow. Starting with Boston’s overrun numbers, they widen the lens to Ottawa’s snow storage sites and Minneapolis’ potholes, asking what happens when seasonal extremes collide with tight city budgets.</p> ADDITIONAL SHOW NOTES <ul> <li>"<a href='https://www.bostonglobe.com/2026/03/30/science/winter-cleanup-snow-budget-climate-change/'>‘That comes with a price tag’: How snow removal is busting town budgets</a>" by Kate Selig, Bostonglobe.com (March 2026)</li> <li>"<a href='https://archive.strongtowns.org/journal/2020/1/5/the-cost-of-an-extra-foot'>The Cost of an Extra Foot</a>" by Chuck Marohn</li> <li>"<a href='https://archive.strongtowns.org/journal/2010/3/24/transactions-of-decline.html'>Transactions of Decline</a>" by Chuck Marohn</li> <li>Downzone: <ul> <li>"<a href='https://www.housingeurope.eu/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Cost-based%20social%20rental%20housing%20in%20Europe%20-%20December%202021%20PRINT.pdf'>Cost-Based Social Rental Housing in Europe</a>" (Web PDF)</li> <li><a href='https://the.ink/'>The Ink </a>(Substack)</li> <li><a href='https://greatplainspress.ca/books/youll-pay-for-this-how-we-can-afford-a-great-city-for-everyone-forever/'>You'll Pay For This!</a> (Site)</li> <li><a href='https://www.criminalbroads.com/episodes'>Criminal Broads</a> (Site)</li> </ul> </li> <li><a href='https://www.linkedin.com/in/normvep/'>Norm Van Eeden Petersman</a> (LinkedIn)</li> <li><a href='http://linkedin.com/in/dherriges'>Daniel Herriges</a> (LinkedIn)</li> <li><a href='http://linkedin.com/in/gracenjohnson'>Gracen Johnson</a> (LinkedIn)</li> <li><a href='https://www.youtube.com/watch?ab_channel=KemetColeman&v=_Xa_lfMoDqI'>Theme Music by Kemet the Phantom</a>.</li> </ul> <p> </p> <p>This podcast is made possible by Strong Towns members. <a href='https://www.strongtowns.org/membership?utm_source=podbean&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=membership&utm_content=20251217_podbean_podcast_upz-housing-outrage-fairfax'>Click here to learn more</a> about membership.</p>

<p>Bobby Fijan doesn’t want you to give up on families living in cities. One thing he said in this episode that really stuck out with me, “People tolerate disorder less when kids are around.” I think that’s right on, and that we too easily acquiesce to the notion that cities are just for the young, or the retired. </p><p><a target="_blank" href="https://x.com/bobbyfijan">Bobby</a>, like many of my guests, isn’t content to just talk about the issues. He’s become relentless in his pursuit of the best family-friendly floor plans for urban living, and has now taken that to the creation of the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.americanhousing.com/">American Housing Corporation</a>. Their motto might as well be, “rowhouses for all.” Bobby and his partners are pursuing true vertical integration of a nationwide development company, with the goal of doing really great urban infill housing. Can they do it? I wouldn’t bet against them.</p><p>Find more content on The Messy City on Kevin’s <a target="_blank" href="https://kevinklinkenberg.substack.com/">Substack page</a>.</p><p>Music notes: all songs by low standards, ca. 2010.
