    Building the Bloc: Housing, Affordability, and City-Shaping Insights
    Feb 1 2026

    How do housing decisions really get made—and why is it so hard to build homes people can afford?

    In this launch episode of The Bloc Power Hour with Sarah Harris, Sarah is joined by Matthew Gates, a commercial real estate professional and research lead with the Urban Land Institute’s Building Healthy Places Initiative, for a data-driven conversation on housing, power, and the systems that shape our cities.

    Together, they unpack why housing affordability remains such a challenge in Los Angeles, how development decisions are made behind the scenes, and how informed participation can shift outcomes for communities, businesses, and institutions.
