Well There‘s Your Problem

Victoria Scott, a recurring guest host and expert on urban planning, dives into the Great Seattle Fire of 1889. She explores Seattle's precarious geography, built on tidal mudflats with a weak infrastructure that led to catastrophic consequences. The discussion includes the timber economy, the fire's dramatic origins from a glue pot accident, and the explosive impact of whiskey barrels. Victoria highlights the rebuilding efforts and new regulations that shaped the city’s future, illustrating how disasters can lead to growth and transformation.

Rob, an elevator attendant with unique insights, joins to dissect the architectural misadventures of 432 Park Avenue. He humorously critiques the lavish tower's design faux pas and the wealthy owners who buy into its flaws. The conversation dives into elevator logistics shaping skyscraper designs, revealing how vertical transportation can limit building heights. Listeners will explore the mechanics of needle towers, from structural failings to the quirks of high-rise living, all while navigating the chaotic world of urban luxury and zoning loopholes.
