This is Planet Money from NPR.
Real estate developer Cody Fisher and I are standing facing a big old house.
We're at the intersection of Minnehaha Avenue and 36th street in south Minneapolis.
The house has got brown stucco and yellow siding.
To me, it looks, I don't know, like a big house with yellow siding on a corner lot.
To Cody, this looks like a great.
Place to build Minnehaha.
It's a busier street with dedicated bike lanes, high frequency transit.
When you mean high frequency transit, I picture something amazing.
But you're just talking about buses, right?
Yes.
Yeah, I am.
That's the advocate in me.
Yeah.
Cody seems to be one of those relentlessly optimistic types.
