Chuck on 'Bike Messiahs', State Highways and Housing

From the fight for safer bike routes to the strange economics of city development, members have plenty to ask Chuck in this special Q&A in honor of Member Week. How do you convince a state DOT to respect your town? Why would a city council approve a project despite knowing it will lose money? Is there a better way to explain Strong Towns to someone encountering these ideas for the first time? Chuck answers questions about making progress when change feels painfully slow, with updates on the Housing Toolkit and the financial tools Strong Towns is developing. During Member Week, consider supporting Strong Towns directly by becoming a member here.
