Whether a municipality approves denser development, a bank finances a project, or a property owner renovates an apartment building: decisions like these shape the daily lives of the people who live or work in a neighborhood. The immoPodcast explains how these decisions are made, who has a say in them, and what consequences they have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
Massimo Paoletti speaks with people from the real estate industry, politics, and trade associations. Guests have about 30 minutes to explain their positions. When interests diverge, Paoletti asks probing questions. Those working in the industry should learn about other perspectives. Those with a personal interest in real estate should be able to follow the discussion even without specialized knowledge and form their own opinions. Planned topics include discussions on homeownership, financing, and the rent control initiative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
The first episode is titled \u201cMore Apartments, Fair Rents\u2014Where Can We Find Common Solutions?\u201d Paoletti speaks with Michel Molinari about housing construction and the industry\u2019s responsibility. One question sums up the tension at the heart of the issue: How does an expensive new-construction apartment help someone who is looking for an affordable apartment today? Molinari is familiar with the topic both as the association\u2019s president and through his professional work as the head of a fund management company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
