We’re thrilled to share that our founder, Jesse Russell, was recently featured on the Strong Towns Podcast as part of their “Bottom-Up Shorts” series. In this quick yet powerful 10-minute conversation, Jesse discusses the roots of Hiatus and how we’re building cottage communities that prioritize people and connection over sprawl.
He shares how a mix of zoning reform, thoughtful design, and a belief in walkable, small-scale neighborhoods helped Hiatus take shape in Oregon. It’s a quick listen packed with insights for anyone passionate about housing, urban infill, and building communities that feel like home.
