  Fixer-Upper - How to Repair...

  Much ink has been spilled in recent years talking about political divides and inequality in the United States. But these discussions too often miss one of the most important factors in the divisions among Americans: the fundamentally unequal nature of the nation's housing systems. 
   
   
   
  And this divide deepens other inequalities. Increasingly, important life outcomes—performance in school, employment, even life expectancy—are determined by where people live and the quality of homes they live in. 
   
   
   
  Public policies enacted by federal, state, and local governments helped create and reinforce the bad housing outcomes endured by too many people. Taxes, zoning, institutional discrimination, and the location and quality of schools, roads, public transit, and other public services are among the policies that created inequalities in the nation's housing patterns. 
   
   
   
  Fixer-Upper is the first book assessing how the broad set of local, state, and national housing policies affect people and communities. It proposes practical policy changes than can make stable, decent-quality housing more available and affordable for all Americans in all communities.

He is the founder and head of the Regenerative and Sports Medicine Clinic, a leading practitioner of alternative and cutting-edge treatments.

  McClain shows how you can get access to these therapies and jumpstart your body's regenerative processes—everything from stabilizing mood swings, relieving depression and anxiety, extending hormone balance and sexual function, improving muscle strength and stamina, relieving debilitating pain, and restoring a youthful appearance. 
   
   
   
  Bolstered with research and recovery stories from real people, this book gives listeners the tools to live healthier, longer lives.

  Quantum mechanics predicts reality with stunning accuracy—yet its meaning still shocks us.

The result is more than science: it’s a mindset upgrade for thinking clearly under uncertainty and making better decisions in a complex world.
