#17: Cities owned by locals – or how to become a landlord with little money

Social inequality is one of the major problems of our times, and
housing is one of the areas where you can feel that immediately.
In a movement called incremental development, people who would
usually not be able to afford it and sometimes not even think
about it help each other aquire residential property, often very
successfully. In this episode, we spoke with Mike Keen, a
sociology professor who is part of the movement in South Bend,
Indiana, and Mary Hall, a journalist who covered the approach.


Hosted by Ed Crasnick and Jonathan Widder; edited by Nina
Bohlmann.
