San Diego teens arrested for killing unhoused woman known as ‘Granny Annie’

"Pershal had long been waiting to get placed into housing and was working with case workers, but she was unable to secure a spot in the area that could accommodate her, her daughter said. She used a walker and couldn’t move into a place with stairs."

When I first read the podcast title and saw the Illuminati themed cover art, I thought it was some new branch of wingnuttery conspiracies. Turns out, that part was satire. The podcast is really the very sensible Jason Slaughter of Not Just Bikes interviewing urbanists and mobility experts.

I listened to the second episode and became an instant fan. This is going to the top of my podcast rotation from now on.

I thought I would share some of the various Urbanist/Climate/Housing podcast episode that were good enough for a second or third listen. This one is an interview with a New York City transportation planner credited with being one of the first to challenge car-centric orthodoxy #Urbanisim #CarsRuinCities #NewYork #CongestionPricing #Jaywalking
