On this episode of The Debrief Podcast, hosts Josh Durso and Jackie Augustine go all-in on one of the most pressing issues facing Upstate New York: Housing. From record-breaking home prices and shrinking affordability to the disappearance of starter homes, we unpack the headlines and hard truths. We discuss the feedback from Jackie’s latest column, the fears around new development, and how outdated zoning and home rule are slowing solutions. Plus, what role can equity-based models, third-places, and local governments play in fixing this? Your feedback shaped this episode—now it’s time to rethink the future of housing in our communities.
