The Strong Towns Podcast - Massachusetts Is Putting Starter Homes on the Ballot
Massachusetts voters are being asked a surprisingly simple housing question: Should a single-family home be legal on a 5,000-square-foot lot with public sewer and water? Chuck talks with Andrew Mikula, a Boston policy researcher who spearheaded the volunteer effort behind Question 7, the ballot measure that would make that standard legal statewide. Andrew explains why the coalition chose such a modest baseline, how much control cities would still keep, and what infrastructure and affordability have to do with a seemingly small change in lot size. The ballot question sets the baseline, but the next fight is much more local: turning that rule into something that actually works in existing neighborhoods.

The Way the World Works: A Tuttle Twins Podcast fo... - What Is Shrinkflation?
Ever noticed your favorite candy bar or bag of chips seems smaller than it used to be? You're not imagining it - that's shrinkflation, and it's happening all around you. We've all heard of inflation, but what do you call it when the price tag stays the same while the product inside keeps getting smaller? In this episode of The Way the World Works, Brittany breaks down "shrinkflation," the sneaky cousin of inflation that lets companies raise prices without ever touching the number on the sticker. From a shrinking Hershey bar (down from 2 ounces to just 1.55 ounces) to Toblerone bars in the UK adding extra gaps between the chocolate triangles, thinner cereal boxes, ice cream containers with concave bottoms, and redesigned Gatorade bottles that hold less liquid, companies have found dozens of quiet ways to give you less for the same price. Brittany uses the classic "boiling frog" metaphor to explain how gradual, hard-to-notice changes can sneak right past us. Then she connects it back to the real culprit: when the government prints more money, the value of every dollar drops, and companies are left scrambling to cover rising costs without scaring off customers with higher price tags. Revisiting the lessons of The Tuttle Twins and the Creature from Jekyll Island, Brittany explains how grandma and grandpa Tuttle's retirement savings lost purchasing power, why market signals matter, and who really benefits when the government interferes with the money supply. What You'll Learn in This Episode What "shrinkflation" is and how it differs from regular inflation Why a Hershey bar has shrunk from 2 ounces down to 1.55 ounces How Toblerone bars in the UK added extra gaps between the chocolate triangles Other sneaky shrinkflation tricks: thinner cereal boxes, concave ice cream containers, and redesigned Gatorade bottles The "boiling frog" metaphor and why gradual change is so easy to miss How grandma and grandpa Tuttle's retirement savings lost value in The Tuttle Twins and the Creature from Jekyll Island Why printing more money causes each dollar to buy less, using a $5-to-$6 ice cream cone example Why companies use shrinkflation to survive rising costs without raising prices outright How market signals guide the economy, and what happens when the government ignores them Who really benefits from money printing, including banks bailed out during the 2008 housing crisis Why you can't fully blame companies for shrinkflation when the root problem is government intervention What to do next time you notice a shrinking product on the shelf Timestamps 0:00 Intro: The Mystery of the Shrinking Candy Bar 0:34 What Is Shrinkflation? 1:09 How Shrinkflation Differs from Inflation 1:59 The Shrinking Hershey Bar 2:25 Toblerone's Sneaky Extra Gaps 3:03 Cereal Boxes, Ice Cream Tubs, and Gatorade Bottles 3:37 The Boiling Frog Metaphor 4:22 Grandma and Grandpa Tuttle's Retirement Savings 5:36 The $5 Ice Cream Cone Example 6:47 Why Companies Use Shrinkflation 8:24 Market Signals and Government Interference 9:15 Who Really Benefits from Money Printing 10:07 What to Do When You Notice Shrinkflation Like this video if you love learning how the economy really works!

The Bottom-Up Revolution - What If Vacant Lots Became Farms?
A lot in Fairfax, Virginia, sat empty for 25 years, long enough that neighbors barely noticed it anymore. Oren Falkowitz, founder of Area 2 Farms, sees places like that as potential farms. He joins urban planner Jeffery Tompkins to talk about bringing food production back into neighborhoods using vacant lots, overlooked buildings, and other spaces conventional development often passes over. Their Urban Farms Toolkit tackles one of the biggest obstacles: zoning rules written for a very different kind of agriculture. For vacant parcels that may never attract conventional development, a farm can give the land a role in the neighborhood again. ADDITIONAL SHOW NOTES Oren Falkowitz (LinkedIn), Area 2 Farms (Site) Jeffery Tompkins (LinkedIn), Proformus (Site), Thinking Big By Thinking Small (Substack) Urban Farms Toolkit (Site) Local Recommendations: Natural State Provisions Wonderland Books Tiffany Owens Reed (Instagram) Do you know someone who would make for a great Bottom-Up Revolution guest?
