Send your thoughts, feelings, opinions and suggestions to 0892096423!As you know, our election is just a couple of weeks away, so I thought it would be appropriate to focus the next couple of Friday episodes to be dedicated to election issues. I'm hoping that the more information you have, the more empowered you'll feel in the voting booth. Dr. Loran Sirr, today's guest, is an expert in housing and I never come away from a conversation with him without feeling like I've learned loads. In this episode he helps us understand how we got to the crisis point we find ourselves and what the current politiacl parties have to offer.
