This podcast episode explores the disparities in wealth and housing between urban and rural areas, focusing on Alabama's Black Belt. It emphasizes the differences in generational wealth building, with urban and suburban areas prioritizing selling homes for equity extraction, while rural areas pass down homes as the main inheritance. The section also discusses the challenges of finding good housing structures in both urban and rural areas, highlighting the work of Auburn University's Rural Studio in creating affordable and durable rural homes, such as Reggie's house with its detached roof for easy modifications. The goal is to address specific weather conditions and build long-lasting homes that can create generational wealth.
