Davisville, May 18, 2026: Adding homes in Davis that more young families could afford

Mon, 05/18/2026 - 5:00pm | Bill Buchanan

Today on Davisville we talk with two of the five people who recently wrote “A Long-Term Pragmatic Plan for a Livable and Sustainable Davis.” Don’t let the dry title dissuade you — the article is clear, light on jargon, usefully specific, and all about Davis. Their ideas include developing denser homes along transit corridors in Davis, including along Anderson Road (pictured), over several decades.

Alex Achimore, an architect and urban planner, and Richard McCann, an environmental policy consultant, talk about the ideas, methods and reasons behind their approach on today’s program, including what they mean by density — think more along the lines of townhomes, duplexes and stacked flats, not apartment towers.

New Sonic Rehab, Monday, May 18

Mon, 05/18/2026 - 11:00am | Jojo Johanssen

After an incredible week-plus of fundraising, DJ Jojo Johanssen returns on Sonic Rehab to the format he never departed from, bringing you an eclectic assortment of tasty goodies. Watch for a mellow start with music from Röyksopp and Peter Frampton, some amazing '80s one-hitters not one-hitters, plus a barn-burner of a finish to get you geared up for another week. If the last half hour doesn't get your blood moving, you might need to check in to the mortuary. YIKES! Check out the amazing wildness this Monday, May 18, from 1-3 p.m. on KDRT 95.7fm or  kdrt.org. You can also listen back to this and other shows broadcast from the last two weeks on kdrt.org.
