Summary

In this first episode I sat down with Scott Rodwin at his office in downtown Boulder where he works as an architect. Scott is obsessed with sustainability in the built environment and is a leader in green design in Colorado and is an active board member of Better Boulder. We talked about why it's so difficult to build attainable housing and build great places in Boulder. Along the way we also talked about construction defect legislation, ADUs, the Boulder Valley Comprehensive Plan, and Title 9, among others.
