Host Scott Graves is joined by fellow Vermont houser Stephen Box of Rutland.  Our discussion focused on both the local discussion and a more global look at how parking is affecting housing in all of our communities in the United States. Stephan, a loyal resident recently received a parking ticket in front of his own house due to a winter parking ban (we know you listeners in Florida are scratching your heads).  And our city  is in the midst of discussion around a greenway parking ban to keep the sidewalks free of cars. 

At the local level, how can we craft our parking ordinances to encourage housing growth?  And with the global discussion including Minnestota’s 2024 landmark decision to ban parking minimums state-wide, are we at the vanguard of a more sane approach to parking nation-wide?  

New Podcast announcement! Stephen and Scott and a few of their friends are launching  ‘Housers’ for Spring 2025.  A project of M the Media Project and Interchain Live.  We’re telling the stories and featuring the heroes in our own small scale landlord and developer community in central Vermont because we know you’re out there making it happen in your own communities, and we could all use a monthly dose of smart solutions and moral support. Housers is in conjunction with Mountain Times  which will feature our stories in print and the digital paper under the column ‘802 words’.
