How much will Americans get to know about the people Donald Trump is choosing to run the U.S. government?
In the absence of any real vetting the way it’s usually done, Rachel Maddow presents a Rachel Maddow Show Public Servant Announcement to hopefully help fill that gap.
In this episode, Rachel takes a closer look at Trump’s choice for administrator of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, Dr. Mehmet Oz, who brings the endorsement of “magic” pills to what has been called “the most challenging technical, policy and political job in government,” and questionable business ties to a job that oversees over a trillion dollars a year.
Maggie and John Randolph kept losing employees priced out of the New Hampshire coast, so they got to support local workers by building a pocket neighborhood of tiny homes, helping them avoid long commutes or housing issues.
The lot was originally zoned for 9 luxury homes, but they took advantage of a special zoning program which allowed them to build 44 homes on less than 4 acres. “As a developer we could have built $700,00 to $800,000-dollar homes versus building these”, explains John, a contractor, but instead he and his wife Maggie, an architect, used their skills to design affordable housing.
To keep the footprint within the legal size of a tiny home, each 384-square-foot bungalow has a 160-square-foot loft that can be used as a bedroom. The rents here are about half that of market one-bedrooms in Dover (NH), but each unit is a stand-alone home built around a common green. “I love the idea of pocket neighborhoods,” explains Maggie, “and how do we create communities, creating opportunities to interact with each other”.
Every house at their Cottages at Back River Road has a ground-floor bedroom, a loft that could serve as a second bedroom, a kitchen, a living room, a bathroom with a stand-up shower, washer and dryer hookups, and a mini-split system for heating and cooling.
