A Paradise of Small Houses: A Conversation with Author Max Podemski

*NOW JOINED BY DISCUSSANTS BUBBA FISH AND FRANCES ANDERTON*

From the Haitian-style “shotgun” houses of the 19th century to the lavish high-rises of the 21st century, a walk through the streets of America’s neighborhoods that reveals the rich history—and future—of urban housing.

Nearly every American city struggles to provide "missing middle" housing -- affordable, comfortable housing that serves working-class residents. Author Max Podemski will lead a tour of missing middle housing across the country, discussing the hidden history, economics, and design -- with clues about how the Los Angeles region can solve its own housing crisis. Podemski will be joined by discussants:

Bubba Fish, Transportation Deputy, L.A. County Board of Supervisors

Frances Anderton, Author, "Common Ground: Multifamily Housing in Los Angeles"
