The beautiful, eclectic places we enjoy exploring and spending time in exist in towns where residents see their town as extensions of themselves, and extensions of their homes. ⁠ ⁠ Architectural homogeneity points to a lost sense of our cities as home, and as expressive realms that tells the story of who we are as individuals and as a community. 🏠️🏠️🏠️⁠ ⁠ To thoughtfully develop a future Bellingham that we all want to live in, it’s not enough to only plan for more infrastructure and housing options. We must also plan through the lens of cities as a “container for human life” in the words of Jane Jacobs, an urbanist and activist. In short, we must plan with beauty in mind, as well as functionality. ⁠ ⁠ How do we do this while building enough housing to serve the needs of a growing population in Bellingham? Drop your thoughts below.⁠ To read more on this topic, tap the article link 👇 https://lnkd.in/gtCx2nQ2 . . . #ComprehensivePlan #StrongPlan #StongTowns #AffordableHousing #BellinghamExperience

Going vertical is the main solution for the city limits of the alike metropolitan area, new challenge for designers and regulators to bettering overall facilating quality in the higher density micro community.

Excited to see the progress of our master planned community NorthShore, located along the St. Mary’s River in Camden County, Coastal Georgia. This 629-home community at build out includes a market-leading, resort-style amenity package including a 3,400 sqft clubhouse, boat launch, floating dock, observation deck, playground, and passive recreational/sports fields.   NorthShore is a classic Drapac investment play: we identified a prime asset in an undervalued growth market, acquired it for a fraction of the infrastructure value, and added significant value during the hold period by undertaking thoughtful and strategic initiatives to restore and improve the community.   A critical piece of our investment strategy has been to bring in multiple homebuilding partners including 1) Century Communities (NYSE: CCS), 2) Maronda Homes, and 3) Smith Family Homes. This approach has resulted in tremendous success for both the builders and overall community; builders are seeing strong absorption and price growth, and the community is appealing to a wider audience with a range of products and price points.   Camden County is experiencing significant growth due to shifting demographic factors (+8% population and +26% household income growth over the last 5 years) and the expansion of regional economic drivers, which has translated directly to increased demand and home sale prices (+64% over the last 5 years). https://lnkd.in/dKTubEn9

Why Should Bellingham Take the Majority of Growth Over the Next 20 years? As Whatcom County’s cities meet to plan for the next 20-years of growth, we believe that Bellingham has a responsibility to take a higher annual percentage of future growth than Ferndale, Lynden, Everson, Blaine, Sumas and Nooksack. Centralizing growth and development in Bellingham will help reduce the overall environmental impact to the County while fostering a more vibrant economic vision for the future of the City.

What do we really want for Kentville's future? Let’s talk about where we’re headed... Kentville has grown so much in the last 20 years. You see it in our streets, in the faces of new families, and in the booming downtown. But with growth comes responsibility. We need to think about: 👉 Investing in new businesses. 👉 Supporting the ones that are already here. 👉 Ensuring our infrastructure, like roads and stormwater systems, can keep up. And that’s just the start... 👉 Housing – Can we build smarter and better? 👉 Collaboration – Are we really listening to all voices at the table? 👉 Community – How do we continue to support our neighbours and local events? Kentville's vision is not just about today. It’s about all of us—our families, our neighbours, and the generations to come. Let’s build a future we can all be proud of. #kentville #CommunityFirst #FutureFocused

Creative solutions at work to address a critical need. Well done!

What Defines 'Affordable' Housing in Connecticut? #hispanosconnecticut #livingconnecticut #hispanicrealtor #connecticuthomes #connecticuthousing #connecticutrealestate #connecticutrealtor #realestateagent

Someone in the comments stated the Villa at Titusville is already beginning to show signs of decay and destruction. Birmingham Housing Authority just like City of Birmingham provides housing for the least likely to excel beyond government dependency to becoming productive and sustainable citizens. Both BHA and the City of Birmingham the two entities support young women with dependent children instead of citizens who are working towards earning a higher education, entrepreneurs, and middle age to older people. The Birmingham Housing Authority and the City of Birmingham place the wrong type of people in new housing, and the citizens who take pride and care of their housing and homes are displaced and put on the back of waiting lists for housing and emergency rental assistance. Therefore, the new new communities built and in the blueprint phase will in five to ten years decay and begin to look like yesterday’s government housing projects. In retrospect, what do I know about housing, placement and displacement? https://lnkd.in/eFHnjPkc
