Summary: In this 19th episode, Sarah and Laura are joined by Elizabeth Strojan, VP of Government Affairs at the NYC Dept. of Housing Preservation and Development, for her second appearance on the show. Together, they commiserate the loss of former host Heather Voorman, who has moved on to a fabulous new role with the Homebuilders, and discuss who could possibly fill her shoes (must have intense love for Diet Coke). Elizabeth shares updates on NYC’s Housing New York plan and how important it is to find common ground when advocating. Plus, Sarah talks about getting certified in an inclusionary zoning workshop, Elizabeth discusses the joys of working with super smart cool people in housing (and who would play tambourine in her band), and everyone agrees that life is about being comfortable with what you don’t know. And Elizabeth answers the question, for the rest of your life, which would you rather have: a milk mustache or Cheeto fingers? The answer may surprise you.
