🏠 “The Housing Pod” — Our 3 Best Storie...

Nick & Jack Studios
About this episode

Our 3rd Bonus Pod during our Paternity Week is on 3 of our best pop-biz stories about the housing market from the last year.


#1. Costco launched its 1st Costco apartment building
 The solution to your rent may be Kirkland Condos.


#2. A surprise cause of our housing crisis? Elevators
 A US elevator costs 5x a Spanish one.


#3. The fastest-growing city in America is a Boomer Boomtown
 but that’s good for Millennials.


Share this ep with your house-hunting buddy (or that one friend who can’t stop talking real estate).


We’ll be back with our usual daily show next week, after Jack’s spent some time getting to know his new baby. But look out for more paternity pods from us dropping this week.
