Monday, February 22, 2016. Tiny homes in. Dallas! It's official, tiny homes are everywhere. In the land of everything BIGGER is BETTER. The tiny home movement has been growing slowly. Here in Austin, tiny homes and converted RVs for rental units are numerous and wide spread, but the City of Dallas has been slow to adopt and "grow" this type of small urban form. Not any more, now a BIG home builder has jumped in the tiny home fray. Wednesday, February 10, 2016. The Next Big Thing in Design. Has been a tou...

Each of these perspectives have something of value to share and I’ll admit that even I think about downsizing from my 1,700 sqft home from time to time. Does tiny mean family friendly?

Tuesday, April 5, 2016. Why Supply Solutions Fail to Provide Affordability. An interview on how the Houston MF market has gone past the tipping point and will begin to slow down due to oversupply.

Friday, January 15, 2016. Building Cheaper Doesn't Equal Affordable. A short story in City Observatory this week hit the nail on the head for me. I regularly have discussions and read articles about how building costs need to come down and that bringing down the cost of SF homes through modular construction will be the silver bullet for affordable housing. Well Daniel Hertz. Over at City Observatory wrote the perfect piece to counter these arguments. Take a look over at here. December 29, 2016 at 12:41 AM.

Monday, March 21, 2016. Arts and Community Development -. This morning’s headlines at. Next City brought me to a short but inspiring story from Cleveland. I love the fact idea of using voting on these types of projects, since it appears to increase civic engagement and bring ideas to the surface that the neighbors want, not what educated planners think they need. (Though sometimes planners do know what needs to be done before everyone else does.). Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). His current employer,...

Community Development Ideas: February 2015
http://comdevideas.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Monday, February 9, 2015. It's one of the hardest problems in housing. It vexes all of us in the field and I don't think I've ever seen a good solution, or at least one that was really successful. Is it time to give up on solving the problem of gentrification, or simply continue to place band-aids on a leaking dam? Well, the city of light hasn't given up. Paris is going to give it another try. Vienna has been tackling housing issues like this for decades. My fair City of Austin, Texas has more than it's ...
