Is the Singles Tax Good for Cities?

How can cities better support the growing number of people living alone? In this episode of Good for Cities, Matti Siemiatycki speaks with journalist and author Renee Sylvestre-Williams about The Singles Tax and the intersection of housing, urban planning, and social connection. They explore how rising housing costs, outdated policies, and the design of our communities create unique challenges for single people, while examining the role of zoning, housing choice, public spaces, and transit in shaping everyday life. The conversation also looks at innovative housing models, the importance of third places, and why building cities that better support people living alone can create healthier, more connected communities for everyone.
