About this listen

2026 has been an interesting year for us and so far, all the episodes, we've done have had a real world echo to something happening in our world right now. This was unplanned and this week continues that trend as we discuss the Pruitt-Igoe Housing Project. An attempt in Saint Louis to create a new type of housing for the urban poor was met with removal of any communal or public space, to maximize efficiency, segregation, patrols to keep 'able bodied men' from getting free rent by living with their families, and no funding for maintenance which instead of lifting up the urban poor, just pointed them at a life of crime in this episode where we discuss the history of this Saint Louis housing project, what the idea or originally was versus what it becoame and then how instead of spending billions for corporate welfare, we could instead spend those same billions actually helping people and stimulating the economy. We get more than a little political and more than tired of the status quo in this episode of the Family Plot Podcast! #AbolishIce
