Enjoy!

Actually: a podcast episode on rural areas and how they’re affected when folks get pushed out of cities could be really great…

Got any recommendations for rural economists (or similar) that would be exciting to talk with?

Nice! Much better.

Got it! I’ll dig for it. :)

Thank you!

Nice! I can just read the article and let you be, but I'm curious if the players are now able to snag apartments, or if they're still bunking up with local families who like the team and have extra rooms?

I'd love to read it!

Yeah, rural areas being places where folks flee to (and de-ruralize) for cheaper rents while still commuting via car for hours & hours into cities and suburbs seems horrific for both workers' quality of life & the environment -- and, as you, say, for those rural areas as well!

Either way, I'm still excited to read about Labor issues in baseball and especially the Minor Leagues. :)

Got it! Yeah, I think we might actually be more aligned than at first glance? The goal is to let cities be cities, creating markets for folks in rural areas but letting those rural areas stay rural and free from the expanding sprawl of folks pushed out of cities by high rents...

Got it! Yeah, I've always felt like urbanism *in urban areas* was the best way for rural areas to stay rural. That way, folks who want to live in cities can, and folks who want to live in rural areas can. When cities can't build, that pushes sprawl out into rural areas, leaving no one happy...

Got a favorite article I should check out or any thoughts I should read up on and chew on? Thanks!

Oh, that's a take I've never heard before! I've heard plenty of concerns about development changing neighborhoods or new housing not being affordable enough, but never that urbanism harmed rural areas or was rooted in white supremacy. I've got thoughts, of course, but I'd love to learn more!

Aww, I was really excited to have found someone focusing on Labor issues in the Minors!

Feels like young players eons away from free agency — and an injury away from getting nothing — could use more pay, more rights, more choices, and more affordable housing options? No?

All credit for the idea goes to this amazing experience by friends, which I caught off-Broadway in New York. It's about to tour the US! So much fun!
