Episode notes

Next time on the series, we're going to take a look at transit. In the District of Columbia, people got to stop paying for buses during the pandemic. Now, DC City Council is trying to make buses free forever. Can free transit happen? We're going to ask in a week on today's complaint.

Pandemic restrictions are mostly over, but cities are still struggling to recover. Empty offices threaten to set off a downward spiral of falling tax revenue and declining services. Today, Explained’s Miles Bryan tries to stop the doom loop before it starts.

This episode was reported and produced by Miles Bryan with help from Amanda Lewellyn. It was edited by Matt Collette with help from Jolie Myers, fact-checked by Laura Bullard, engineered by Paul Robert Mounsey, and hosted by Sean Rameswaram.
