Friend of "the License," Lance Pauker, returns to the cast to discuss the massive influx of capital that has come into New York City and the adverse effects that have followed(10:00). We lament the banality of modern glassy architecture and the demise of the Landmark Sunshine Cinema(28:00). We also speculate on ways that we can preserve the things that make New York well... "New York."
We also round out the podcast with conversations touching on Tim Wu's "The Tyranny of Convenience" from the New York Times (https://www.nytimes.com/2018/02/16/opinion/sunday/tyranny-convenience.html) and Elizabeth Dunn's "The Inflated Promise of the American Food Hall" from the New Yorker (https://www.newyorker.com/culture/annals-of-gastronomy/the-inflated-promise-of-the-american-food-hall).
Finally, we promise to one day travel to Tuscaloosa, Alabama...the "Tajikistan of America"
