Back in the Garage!

· 28:48

|
Affordability is bigger than housing, and we've been talking about an affordability series for months. With "things" unpredictable, a little frightening, and life feeling especially hard right now we understand that people are hesitant to engage. Multiple experts on what affordability means, and what constitutes an affordable life, turned down interviews or never responded to interview requests. We get it. So we talked amongst ourselves and started a list of questions for Matt Perkins, sociologist and criminologist who will be our guest in a couple of weeks.

Also, how many Mexican restaurants in Rockville Town Center are too many (no such thing!), and will Jaime cave and start calling it "The Square?"

Take good care of yourselves. Sleep, exercise, eat healthy food, hug your friends, and let us know if you want to talk at heyrockville@gmail.com.

We also contacted an economics professor at MC and a retirement specialist--no word, but we'll keep trying.

Host
Jaime Espinosa
Jaime moved to Rockville in 2013 after separating from Active Duty; he is still an Air Force reservist. He is an attorney and in his civilian career he works for the federal government, with his office located right in Rockville. He lives with his wife and daughter in Twinbrook. When not shuttling his daughter from softball practice, to karate class, or to a swim lesson, you can likely find him at one of the local pickleball courts in the area, as he is an avid (yet surprisingly still mediocre) player.
Suzan Pitman

Suzan is in her "second act" as a non-profit director after a career in the Texas public school system (she might never recover). Suzan and her husband, David, and their son, Matthew, moved to Rockville from New Braunfels, Texas in 2013 and have made East Rockville their forever home.
