What the Affordability Crisis Looks Like to Thirty-Somethings; New Book of Bodega Cats

In a new piece for The New York Times, 30-somethings living in New York City report feeling far behind their parents in major milestones like career development, home ownership, marriage, and having children. They also share that they worry many of those milestones will forever be out of reach. Troy Closson, who covers kids, teens, and young adults in NYC for the New York Times, discusses his piece "Can’t Afford a Home. Can’t Afford a Baby. Can’t Afford Life. This Is 30." Plus, listeners share their own feelings about life in their thirties. 

Dan Rimada and Gulce Kilkis spent several years visiting bodega cats across New York City, learning their names, routines, histories, and relationships to the people who run the store. Their stories are told in their new book Bodega Cats of New York: Portraits and Stories from New York City's Working Cats. They join us to talk about the history of bodega cats, efforts to change their legal status, and how they got those great photographs. Listeners call in to celebrate their local bodega cats.
