10 / The state of the American dream, selling walkability, & suburban shifts / with realtor Obi Johns

Obi Johns — Rising Columbus, Ohio real estate professional (and budding urbanist) — is in good traffic to address the state of the American dream, how walkable neighborhoods have begun to replace the suburban fantasy of old, and how realtors are selling in the shifting market.

We discuss:

• The American Dream.


• Home buying and real estate in 2023.


• Millennials and Gen Z want to live in walkable neighborhoods and cities.


• Capitalism is signaling in favor of walkable environments.


• Columbus, Ohio is still, somehow, underrated.


• Bridge Park (Dublin, Ohio), and what suburbs building walkable places tells us.


• Marketing walkability (or, not even needing to...), and more urbanist real estate trends.

Greater context:

• The Bridge Park project.


• My take on Bridge Park.


• Brad and Obi explore one of Columbus’ most walkable neighborhoods.


• Anticipated freeway cap projects in Columbus.
