Sustainable Housing

“As Housing goes……………So goes the Economy”

We are now well into the third year of recovery. What signs do you see that jobs are being created, confidence restored and housing is on the mend? Let me know because I don’t see anything that is a positive and credible solution breaking the adverse housing cycle.

While we are all surviving and maintaining our will to succeed, government at all levels are swinging the regulatory pendulum 180⁰. Local governments change ordinances and further restrict housing development because they can and because there is no opposition --- we are all concentrating on keeping everything together.

Local government workers have to do something to keep their jobs so they create regulatory changes. And local politicians use the national circumstances as reasons to change zoning, development ordinances, and policies. The pendulum has swung - - - Where Were We?

There is time to protect our way of life by paying attention to local political and staff actions. Left unchecked they will change our way of life. When will we wake up!

I will present disturbing issues which are being played out NOW in cities across the nation, around the world, and on your front porch. Sustainability has changed but not for the better!
