While parking can be a nuisance, it's also a major—and often overlooked—policy issue. Henry Gabar, a staff writer at Slate covering urban policy, is out with a new book called “Paved Paradise: How Parking Explains the World.” He joins Preet to discuss how parking shaped the 20th century urban landscape, and how it continues to influence modern urbanism debates around everything from affordable housing, to city trash, to electric vehicles.

Plus, DOJ’s Hunter Biden investigation appears to be nearing a close, and the timelines of Donald Trump’s Manhattan criminal trial — and expected other trials — are raising questions about the 2024 campaign.
