How ‘Silo’ and ‘Paradise’ Envision Housing After the Apocalypse

1 month ago | businessandamerica.com | Conor Dougherty

“Paradise” is a TV show on Hulu about a postapocalyptic society that lives underground in a suburb. “Silo” is a TV show on Apple TV+ about a postapocalyptic society that lives underground in an apartment tower.

The shows have much in common, in other words.

Donna and Bob Williamson call the strange souvenirs pulled from the ashes of their home their Museum of Misery. There is the green wine bottle that melted, its glass neck drooping, that looks like it was pulled from a Salvador Dalí painting. Silver forks that fused into a thick, lumpy utensil, its prongs fanning out like a porcupine's needles. A platter they received on their wedding day that read, "For better or for worse." Just a shard survived.

A Sense of Belonging, Shaped by Fire

Jan 15, 2025 | nytimes.com | Conor Dougherty

The built-in bookshelves in my Studio City house have two rows dedicated to works about California, three if you count a California fiction section that's mostly L.A. noir. As a native Californian and Golden State history buff now raising two children in Los Angeles, I've read probably two million words about the goings-on of this city.

Los Angeles Already Had a Housing Shortage. Wildfires Will Make It Worse.

Jan 13, 2025 | rethinking65.com | Danielle Kaye |Conor Dougherty

Each of the homes burned in the Los Angeles fires is its own individual calamity. Collectively, the losses — whether in the hundreds or, as is far more likely, in the thousands — will weigh on the city’s already urgent housing shortage.
