Downtown LA sits at the historic crossroads of Southern California — home to the Tongva Council Tree and the village of Yaanga. Where the San Fernando & San Gabriel Valleys meet the LA Basin, it’s long been the region’s passage point — and is still is today.

The bungalow has a rich tradition in Portland, OR, neighborhoods. @MaxPodemski says it defined Portland as a new 20th-century city. @KATUNews buff.ly/3KwBT8V

We’ve almost banned multifamily housing in states like CA by accident, zoning our way out of solutions. @MaxPodemski says urban housing is the solution we need to face the housing crisis. @KQED buff.ly/3WCYhEH

Can solutions to LA’s housing crisis be found in how we used to design smaller, multifamily dwellings in the past? @MaxPodemski talks about the possibilities with @SaulGonzalezCA on @KQED. buff.ly/3WCYhEH

It was great to talk to Saul about how the traditional types of urban housing found in many neighborhoods can address the housing crisis

Today on @kqed "The California Report," is one solution to the state's housing crisis involve taking a page from the past and building smaller homes under more relaxed zoning conditions? A conversation with author Max Podemski, author of "A Paradise of Small Houses." #KQED

Very happy to share this review of my book in the Wall Street Journal: "At a moment when housing-policy battles can seem deadlocked, “A Paradise of Small Houses” conveys a tonic sense of what is, or has been, possible." wsj.com/arts-culture/books/a…

Why does LA have so much architectural variety compared to other big cities? @MaxPodemski says it goes back to Midwesterners who escaped from the East to reinvent themselves in Southern CA. Architecture became a means of expression. buff.ly/49kE7C0

We used to be quite good at providing denser, affordable housing in cities in the late 19th through late 20th century. What happened? @MaxPodemski has the lowdown. buff.ly/49kE7C0
