Why Building a Crosswalk in LA Is Kafkaesque
Bill McBride, the financial blogger behind Calculated Risk, and real estate developer Zach Lasry join Odd Lots for a live panel discussion on LA real estate. They explore the challenges of sourcing construction materials, the absurdly complex process of building a crosswalk, and how self-driving cars might reshape the city's parking problem. The conversation touches on the current mortgage rate environment and its impact on home prices, weaving together market analysis and on-the-ground development stories.
