In this week’s episode, podcast host Ray Dubicki discusses the Heroes and Zeroes of the recent state legislative session with Urbanist Executive Director Doug Trumm.
Heroes and Zeroes is a standing tradition at The Urbanist, and this year’s session concluded on some high notes as missing middle housing and climate action achieved victories. But there were some disappointments along the way too. This episode will cover the legislators who hustled urbanist priority bills past the finish line, as well as those who watered bills down or flat out blocked them.
