In today’s episode, Austin interviews Cynthia Sigler, co-founder of The Foothill Catalog. The Foothill Catalog’s mission is to “produce a Catalog of affordable, pre-approved home designs that reflect the character & spirit of [Altadena].” Cynthia goes in detail on that mission and explains where things currently stand with their project – the amount of concepts they have, their partnerships with general contractors, and when LA County will give their designs pre-approved status.
