On the latest episode of The Weeds, Ezra and Sarah bug me about gentrification — a thorny problem with a paradoxical solution: Cities need to change even faster. We also take the deepest dive we can muster into the budget deal, details of which were breaking just as of recording time, and Ezra enlightens us with some academic research on why there just aren’t as many voters up for grabs these days as there used to be.
