Jul 2014

Any one who is interested in developing healthy communities that are based on thriving members within those communities.

Using real estate as a commodity rather than an asset which empowers the citizens of it's community is a disgrace.

It's a dominoe effect that will no doubt lead to others being forced out of their neighborhoods when otherwise successful tenants can no longer afford the neighborhood due to increasing cost of living increases when INVESTMENT firms who have purchased property with no other ties to community development other than short-term equity in these properties.

Who cares?

Anyone interested in healthy, thriving communities...
