The Failures Before the Fires
In May, journalists Madison Hopkins and Cecilia Reyes were awarded a Pulitzer Prize for their investigative series, \u201cThe Failures Before the Fires,\u201d which exposed dangerous systemic flaws in how Chicago handles building code enforcement. On today\u2019s podcast, Hopkins and Reyes join us to discuss the details of their award-winning investigation, how the enforcement process can be biased in favor of landlords, and what lessons other cities can take from Chicago.
