Part 1:
We talk with John Wigand, Prof. of Architecture and Interior Design, Interim Dean, College of Creative Arts, Miami University.
We discuss the trend of converting office and commercial space to living space, to increase the availability of housing. We discuss how this can be done, and how zoning codes would have to change. We also talk about the benefits to be gained: walkability, mixed-use, less pollution due to shorter commuting distances, etc. We also discuss what infrastructure would be needed to support this: schools, stores, transit, etc.
Part 2:
We talk with Mark Joseph Stern, who writes for Slate.com.
We discuss the latest ruling by SCOTUS on the use of bump stocks. When there is only one use for these devices (killing as many people as possible in the shortest amount of time), the convoluted argument used by Clarence Thomas to justify making these legal seems bizarre. This is part of SCOTUS attack on regulatory agencies, in this case, the ATF.
