This week, Rafael and Kirk are joined in a thought-provoking conversation by Meredith Marshall, the co-founder and managing partner of BRP Companies, a New York-based development company committed to mixed-income projects throughout New York and nationally.

Skillfully using and extrapolating on examples from their respective pasts and learned professional experiences, the three expertly reflect on New York’s historical and still present-day affordable housing issues. Together they dive in on the socioeconomics of race, financial equity, and fair access to viable housing options as foundational issues throughout each historical public and private initiative, seen throughout their decades of collective experiences living and working in New York City.
