How the Chicago Cubs turned on Their Neighbors

About this episode

The episode discusses the Cubs-Wrigley rooftop battle as a case study in real estate and property rights.

At its core, the Cubs-Wrigley rooftop battle is a real estate story. Nearby property owners built businesses around premium views into Wrigley Field, but as the Cubs invested millions into the stadium, a fight emerged over who owns and profits from that value. It's a unique case study in property rights, development, and the economics of location. Palm Bay Villas is a waterfront development concept in West Palm Beach that aimed to combine higher-density residential living with sustainable design and public waterfront access. The project stood out for its focus on environmental planning, mixed housing options, and creating a lifestyle-driven community rather than a traditional condo development.
