Our Top 5 Picks for the Quarter Stay informed and entertained by this quarter’s media choices reflecting on aspects of affordable housing, social justice, and other relevant topics. 1. In the new book, Stuck: How the Privileged and the Propertied Broke the Engine of American Opportunity, author Yoni Applebaum, journalist, academic, and lecturer on history and literature at Harvard, and deputy executive editor at the Atlantic argues that the racist origins of zoning among other things have shaped the current stagnation of mobility in America. There is a lot of good social science research to suggest that moving does not just change people’s economic destinies and the prospects of their children, it shifts their whole mindset. Researchers have found that people who relocate to new places are more open to new experiences, they tend to necessarily be more open to diversity, and conceive of the world as a place where there can be win-wins. 2. The National Building Museum presents House & Home , a kaleidoscopic array of photographs, objects, models, and films that take us on a tour of houses both familiar and surprising, through past and present, challenging our ideas about what it means to be at home in America. Remarkable transformations in technology, laws, and consumer culture have brought about enormous change in American domestic life. The breathtaking variety of stories about the American home surprise, teach, and entertain. 2.

If the planet goes to hell and humanity heads to a bunker, what sort of neighborhood will we build inside it? A spacious holdout that tries to approximate a comfortable standard of living? This is how the show explores America’s housing shortage today. 4. Silo is a TV show on Apple TV+ about a post-apocalyptic society that lives underground in an apartment tower. Taking a different POV than “Paradise” but still examining a future without housing, this show has “solved” the problem with a 144- story silo that is basically an underground housing project. It becomes clear that this is a parable about central planning gone awry. 5. In Abundance , journalists Ezra Klein and Derek Thompson catalog American liberalism’s failures to deliver material plenty—the housing shortages that plague blue cities, the green infrastructure that congressional Democrats funded but then failed to actually build, the high-speed rail system that California promised but never delivered. 5.
