Warehousing Reno: How Big Boxes Took Over the Local Landscape

Welcome back to another episode of OFF THE DAIS. If you left Reno in 2015 and returned for the first time in 2022, you perhaps wouldn't recognize it. This week, Jenny takes a deep dive into the growing presence of Reno's warehouse and distribution facilities over the past several years and the impacts they have had on our growing community.   Jenny covers land use issues, compatibility and the infrastructure that is needed to support them, traffic and air quality issues associated with them, and the role they play in our changing economic landscape.  Thank you for listening! ________________________________________ Subscribe to Jenny's Newsletter: https://jennybrekhus.substack.com/ Follow Jenny on IG @brekhusjenny Follow Jenny on Twitter @jennybrekhus Follow Jenny on FB @Jenny-Brekhus-for-Reno-Mayor Email us your suggested topics and guests for upcoming episodes at offthedais@gmail.com All clipped audio is taken from Reno City Council meetings which are available to the public online.

Welcome back to another episode of Off The Dais. The stressed housing market in Reno continues to put economic pressures on an increasing population. This includes current residents, and people moving to the area—households of all different life stages. Housing starts with design and this week I had a lengthy conversation with Mike McGonagle. An architect, business owner, and compulsive public records hacker, Mike reads the tea leaves of the local real estate market from a unique perspective. Mike earned his Masters of Architecture from Harvard School of Design.

HOA's or Homeowner Associations (and other affiliated names) are something many Reno communities are apart of...but what are they really? What role do they provide, and in current times, what are they being asked to manage? On this episode of Off The Dais, Jenny speaks with award winning high-rise HOA president Ronda Theisen, and Don Lamers, a Supervising Community Association Manager about the highs and lows of taking on leadership duties in the communities they live in or represent.  Thank you for listening! _________________________________ Subscribe to Jenny's Newsletter: https://jennybrekhus.substack.com/ Follow Jenny on IG @brekhusjenny Follow Jenny on Twitter @jennybrekhus Follow Jenny on FB @Jenny-Brekhus-for-Reno-Mayor Email us your suggested topics and guests for upcoming episodes at offthedais@gmail.com All clipped audio is taken from Reno City Council meetings which are available to the public online.
