Summary
The Carrie Bradshaw lifestyle is unreachable for most recent college grads in today’s New York City, thanks to high housing costs. We’ll get into the lengths some younger newcomers are willing to go to make it work and dig into a related problem: a potential commercial real estate crisis. Plus, how should cities deal with cannabis smoke? Then we’ll play a round of This or That!
Here’s everything we talked about today:
-
- “Defaults on commercial real estate loans are rising” from Marketplace
-
- “Workers want to stay remote, prompting an office real estate crisis” from The Washington Post
-
- “Opinion | How should D.C. deal with pot smoke? from The Washington Post
