A strange thing happened to Emily on the 250th anniversary of this nation’s founding: she found out the kids at Nixon maxxing. This bizarre experience lead to today’s episode topic: why is a growing faction of MAGA — or are they different group entirely? — moving on from Reagan to claim the legacy of Nixon?

Why are NIMBYs so adamantly against new housing? Are liberals hypocrites on housing? What is a YIMBY? These and other questions are the topics of this episode where we tackle America’s housing crisis. Emily shares what’s wrong with how we build housing with a story from her own street. Trevor shares research into how corporate consolidation has strangled building and turned it into a greed machine, and also explores a strange historical angle: are Americans just not moving anymore, and is that leading to… electing Donald Trump?
