Episode 150: Mondays at The Overhead Wire - Housekeeping After Drought

Happy Mondays!  This week on Mondays at The Overhead Wire we're Han Solo again but we have a lot to catch up on.  We're going over some of the news we didn't get to when we were away in China for a month.  We cover LA's spongy infrastructure, an idea to connect zoning reform to transportation funding, and the transition from governments incentivizing retail businesses to warehousing infrastructure.  Of course there's more but listen in to hear everything we share.
