Wait, what? What happened? Where have you guys been? Contrary to popular belief we aren’t dead, but we have experienced lots of changes in the past few months. We’ve been all over the place, but we’re back now. Hear what’s new with the My Town Hustlers, and what we’ve got planned for the future. Thanks for sticking with us and stay tuned for new episodes coming soon. (Don’t worry, plenty of 10,000-foot views and painting with a broad brush to go around.)

What is gentrification? What does it look like? Is it happening here? Where is it happening? In this episode, we’ll discuss the history and origins of gentrification and offer some definitions, examples, and thoughts on how communities address equity in development (or redevelopment) so that everyone benefits. As you’ll hear, we all know what the tropes of gentrification are, but the actual circumstances are often much more difficult to observe. In case you missed them, hot takes and fun banter are included at no extra cost.

Parking! Minimums! Can you feel the excitement!!!! In all honesty, this is an important topic and one of the key areas of local policy that communities can modify to support small businesses and the general business environment. With Black Friday and Small Business Saturday in our recent memory, and similar events becoming more significant retail opportunities for downtowns, the time to think about parking is NOW. There’s no doubt that most folks still access our downtowns using personal vehicles, so how can we rethink how we utilize our precious space to park the vehicles we need. Our friends at StrongTowns have a few ideas, Jared has a few ideas, and Sam gives us a new entertaining segment to close out the episode.
