On the latest episode of Frederick Uncut, Bruce Zavos, president of Zavos Architecture and Design, a Frederick-based firm sits down with podcast host Colin McGuire and News-Post reporter Nancy Lavin to talk about what affordable housing is, how to create more and, most importantly, how to pay for it.

Some of his suggestions are a little unconventional — tiny houses, anyone? — but creativity is kind of the longtime architect's thing. He's also a pretty persuasive salesman, evidenced by his track record of pitching projects to housing developers, community groups and even the residents that oppose the affordable housing projects for which he has designed plans.
