064 - Change our Malls

Published: April 18, 2022, 11 a.m.

Phil asks if it is obvious to change our shopping malls into living quarters too.

Note: This episode was recorded originally in the spring of 2021, discussions of the on-going housing challenges (of the date of publication) were not as apparent as they are in 2022.

 

Show Notes:

Austria’s Public Housing Idea

How Malls are trying to recover in modern times

Government Housing Vouchers are Hard to Get, and Hard to Use

Wall-E

In 2014, BBC said 75k was an important number for happiness (this is not adjusted for 2022 inflation)

Friendship is magic (for a longer, healthier life)

Back 10 years ago, NPR said it was very expensive for nursing home/assisted living, adult day services. I am sure inflation makes this look like rookie numbers now

Phil’s Afterthoughts:

-Hello dear listener! It is I, Phil, coming straight to you to discuss why it took more than a month to release this episode. Well, that’s a good question, and I am sure that the other two listeners also share this question too. It is because I wanted to give our dear editor a break. Thus it has taken me more than a month to edit one episode.

-Why does it take a month to edit one episode? Because it just does man.

-I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I enjoyed recording and editing it, because seriously I now have new found respect to those that have to do this work since it is not easy at all. I’ll be completing my training (on editing) by doing some more episodes, so now that I have the hang of it they will be coming out more frequently. If for any reason you are displeased with the result, rest assure that I will just respond by editing even more episodes because spite is the fuel that powers my motivation.

-One last thing, all these dollar amounts were before the Great Inflation, so please just go ahead and just “double” those numbers we mentioned, I think that ought to do it.

-Thanks again for being a listener, I really appreciate it (hi mom)!
