Last week, I stumbled upon a reddit post announcing that the author, Charles Marohn, was giving a free talk near my town the next morning. Marohn is the author of Strong Towns, one of my favorite books of the last few years. So, my wife and I attended the talk and enjoyed it. The talk is based on ideas from Marohn’s new book, Escaping the Housing Trap, which I haven’t read yet, so these notes are from memory.
