Housing debates continue to roil the region. We start with Arlington County Board Member Matt de Ferranti (D) on the marathon hearings about the county's Missing Middle plan, which advanced this week. And as budget season nears, we ask what de Ferranti would like the county to prioritize.

Then, Montgomery County Council Vice President Andrew Friedson (D-District 1) tells us about a new bill that would "co-locate" affordable housing on public land. Friedson chairs the council's Planning, Housing & Parks Committee, so we'll also ask about his goals for the committee and where things stand with the beleaguered Planning Board.

Plus, a familiar name is back in the news: Paul Wiedefeld has been tapped to be Maryland's transportation secretary by new Gov. Wes Moore. WAMU transportation reporter Jordan Pascale gives us the latest.
