In this episode of Drew Code HQ, host Andrew Robles sits down with Andrew Slocum, founder of Green Development Company. Slocum isn’t just a builder; he is a housing advocate and a strategist who is actively changing state laws to make California a more affordable place to live. The conversation explores the gritty intersection of politics and construction, including Slocum’s role on political endorsement committees and his take on why the current nonprofit housing model is failing. Slocum shares powerful insights from the front lines of the Altadena fire rebuilds, the absurdity of the "Staircase Solution" in LA city planning, and his upcoming legislative push for utility reform. Plus, Andrew reveals how sailing to Catalina and following Formula 1 keeps him sharp in a high-friction industry.
