Book Discussion | Homesick: Why Housing Is Unaffordable and How We Can Change It


In studying the impact of short-term rentals, Brendan O'Brien saw something similar happening in places ranging from Bend, Oregon, to Bar Harbor, Maine. But it isn't just short-term rentals, and it's not just tourism towns. Neighborhoods in Austin and Atlanta have become rows of investment properties. Longtime residents in Spokane and Boston have been replaced by new, high-salaried remote workers. Across the country, a level of unaffordable housing that once seemed unique to global cities like New York and San Francisco has become the norm, with nearly a third of all US households considered housing cost burdened.

Concert | Upbeat, Rhythm-Heavy Indie Rock


From their humble beginnings as a local Nashville indie rock band, Boyscott leapt to sudden fame on the strength of their 2015 debut, the multi-million streaming hit album Goose Bumps. The LP's upbeat, rhythm-heavy songs liberally reference lead singer and band founder Scott Hermo's love for art pop groups like Dirty Projectors, Modest Mouse, and Vampire Weekend. Originally recorded by Hermo and a coterie of school friends, the group's touring incarnation enlisted a rotating cast of musicians, including Davey Alaimo of Bunny Boy, Noah Dardaris of Another Michael, and Emma Willer of Slumbers. Having built up an organic fanbase on the road, the band's long-awaited second album was unfortunately derailed by COVID. Now, following capacity-crowd performances at popular NYC dance clubs Baby's All Right and Elsewhere, and the release of their new single "After Dark," Boyscott is excited to celebrate their sophomore album with a concert debut at Lincoln Center.
