Host Taylor Weech talks with Grove Community board member Deb Conklin about an ongoing partnership with Keith Kelley of Kelly Rental Properties to move historic homes slated for demolition in the West Central neighborhood of Spokane and convert them into low-income housing. Discussion includes the ecological benefits of developing this way, the ways cooperative neighborhood development can interrupt the cycle of gentrification, and ways these models are moving forward.
