230: Good Intentions Aren't Enough -with Nolan Gray
"The goal of the proposal is ...."
Now, to judge how a proposal did, one would want to look at the actual outcomes of said proposal, versus just looking at the intentions of the proposal.
And yet, when it comes to government programs and policies, it is the intentions that lawmakers seem to focus on.
Nolan Gray is a housing researcher at UCLA, a former NYC city planner, host of the YouTube "Pop Culture Urbanism" (where he dissects housing & city questions from famous movies & TV shows), and joins the program to specifically address California's extreme environmental laws and where they ended up exacerbating the very problems they were seeking to address.
