Our friend Avi Garelick joins us to discuss his recent piece on the war between Ron DeSantis and the Disney Corporation in Florida, as we explore the longer history of Florida’s extraordinary relationship to the Disney brand. Along the way, we talk about Sean Baker’s haunting film The Florida Project, the weird politics and aesthetics of “New Urbanism,” and the current direction of housing politics in American cities.
