概要

 Have you seen any starter homes for sale lately? Neither have we. In this podcast, we speak with experts and try to figure out why this humble first home is going extinct. We’ll be exploring if it is the politicians, wielding zoning laws like a murder weapon who killed the starter home? Or maybe the scaredy-cat planners and designers? Or the developers, armed with cookie-cutter plans and corporate indifference? Is it our convoluted tax policy that subsidies homeownership, but puts every tax penalty in the way of creation of the starter homes. Spoiler alert: it’s probably a little of everything. We’ll be peeling back the layers of bureaucracy, bad faith, and bad planning, with stops along the way for affordable housing scandals, ADU success stories, and a passionate plea for building code updates. Join us for a conversation that’s part policy deep-dive, part therapy session for frustrated builders, and entirely a love letter to cities that deserve better.Copyright 2025 All rights reserved. アート

  • Is Technology the Silver Bullet? Conversation with Sujit Singh

    Is Technology the Silver Bullet? Conversation with Sujit Singh
    2026/05/01

    Sujit Singh hopes to bring his 30-year experience in technology consulting to Congress. He outlines a vision for leveraging robotics, AI, and space-based solar energy to reduce the cost of housing and public transit.

    Mr. Singh shared his story of running for mayor in our neighboring town of West Windsor and developing his "Space, Lean, Innovation" model. He proposes that technological solutions can help overcome local regulatory hurdles and lower costs by as much as 50%.

    Can innovation bypass traditional gridlock, or are some problems too grounded for a digital-first solution?

  • From Undocumented Roots to the Mayor’s Office to Congress?

    From Undocumented Roots to the Mayor’s Office to Congress?
    2026/04/24

    Most people talk about the American Dream; Mayor Adrian Mapp lived it.

    He arrived from Barbados to join his mother, who had first come to the U.S. as an undocumented immigrant to pave the way for her children. In this episode, we discuss his journey from those roots to leading Plainfield through four terms of "transformational change."

    We dive into what it actually takes to manage a city and why he believes the 12th District needs an executive who has already done the work on the ground. From housing and economic growth in NJ to immigration and restoring the U.S. reputation on the world stage, Mayor Mapp shares a vision for Washington rooted in his own lived experience.

  • Will a "Tell-It-Like-It-Is" Approach Work in Washington? Conversation with Raymond Heck

    Will a "Tell-It-Like-It-Is" Approach Work in Washington? Conversation with Raymond Heck
    2026/04/17

    In this episode, I spoke with Raymond Heck, who brings a blunt, municipal-focused energy to the race for Congress. He believes that Washington is disconnected from the "nuts and bolts" of local government—paving roads and fixing sewers—and that this gap is the source of our affordability crisis and infrastructure failures.

    As a law enforcement officer and a small-town mayor, he brings a mix of humanity and compassion, along with a deep pride in representing the U.S. in all parts of life, whether he is in uniform or not. His leadership style prioritizes direct action and a no-nonsense approach and serves him well as a mayor of a small historic town. It even got him head the NJ League of Municipalities. Could this brand of straightforward, practical grit be exactly what is needed to break the gridlock in DC?
