PedersenWelcome to Our Buildings, Our Selves: Humanity in Architecture, a monthly podcast produced by Common Edge, the Connecticut Architecture Foundation, the Connecticut AIA, and Bridgeport community radio station WPKN 89.5 FM.    We’re in a housing crisis. Duo Dickinson and Martin C. Pedersen talk with Gerhard Mayer and Lindsey Stirman, co-founders of the Living Communities Initiative, a Los Angeles-based organization dedicated to creating a new paradigm for housing development. They reject both NIMBY-ism (not in my backyard) and its knee jerk opposite, YIMBY (yes to any sort of housing, regardless of its quality). And argue instead for a different mode: QIMBY (quality in my backyard). When projects include elements like walkability and gentle density, opposition to new development disappears. ","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/Ur3RytdoyePWLyo1V1OdeNy61BCvJx9Uzpqc4SvsAa4/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8xNGFk/N2Q0NTE5OGMwZmQ3/YmY5MTA5NjRmZDkx/NGNhNS5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
