Autozone: The History of American Zoning as told by Cutiepies

Hope and Jackie discuss the history of zoning in U.S. cities - How did it come about? What are incompatible uses? Why is this an example of heterotopia?

From Chinese Laundries to Euclidian Zoning, we talk about the 20th century's obsession with the idea of space, the way cities are built for cars, and why queerness might just be the antidote to it all. Foucault makes an appearence, as does Jackie's cat Cobbie.

Still working through some teeny weeny sound issues - the IT guy told us we gotta podcast in a room with no internet or devices lol
