Description

Alexandria has moved to ban single-family zoning — which is kinda a wonky concept, but one with big implications that ought to matter to you even if you don’t live in Alexandria. Teo Armus of the Washington Post will help explain why. Plus, we're chatting about a new debate over closing Metro for repairs. 

And we’ll be ending with a special segment sponsored by the Heurich House, about their annual Christmas Markt which begins tonight! 

As always, our roundups are powered by the fantastic local reporting here:

Check out all the reporting Teo Armus has done on Alexandria’s new zoning policy.

Washington Business Journal has you covered on Metro’s impending closure.

Come meet us at the Heurich House Christmas Markt today! We talked with Cornelia Poku about all the shopping options.

City Cast is the daily, local audio companion you knew DC needed. Washingtonians are gritty, proud, and resilient — necessary qualities for a community facing issues that range from an affordability crisis to the fight for statehood to the movement for racial justice… and useful qualities for a region full of whip-smart people, dynamic culture, and constant change. Washingtonians are deeply passionate about our city, whose story is still being written, and City Cast DC is here to tell it. Every weekday morning, our hosts Michael Schaffer and Bridget Todd will engage people from all over the eight wards in conversation about DC’s crises and its beauty, both literal and figurative. It’ll have the feel of eavesdropping on an energetic and informative coffee shop chat, except that with City Cast DC, consider this your official invitation to listen in.
