After introducing the topics of climate-induced migration and the housing affordability crisis in the first episode, we continue these conversations and look at barriers to change within the housing system through the introduction of two theories: the multi-level perspective (MLP) and path dependency. We also begin to shift these concepts to a local perspective, by beginning our conversation with City Councilor Anne Stevenson.
