Stereotypical depictions of New Jersey in Hollywood portray the landscape as a heavily urbanized, industrialized environment. As if the entire State resembles the industrial areas along the New Jersey Turnpike, or the densely populated areas across the river from New York City. Contrary to stereotypes, New Jersey has large semi-rural and rural areas, parks, Delaware and Hudson river access, beautiful beaches, lakes and even some remote hill terrain. JBMDL for instance, is surrounded by semi-rural areas, farms, and small towns. The training area where this fire occurred is largely rural, remote, surrounded by forests. Even in the most urbanized/industrialized NJ areas, there are open spaces, and natural areas to enjoy. I offer this information as I imagine there may be some confusion about there being forest fires in New Jersey! https://lnkd.in/eA9gC-UQ

New York City has the highest salary to live comfortably, followed by many in California. Head to the link in our bio to see which cities are the most expensive.

We all know the critical importance of Main Streets to community vitality…at least I hope we do. 😉 Of course we also know that many Main Streets have faced waves of challenges over the past century. Well this article about Morristown (not our Morristown in N.J.) shares a glimmer of hope!

Removing minimum parking requirements is boosting housing construction and aiding affordable housing. That's why recent planning initiatives in Dubai (Affordable Housing policy and TOD Framework) are aiming to reduce minimum parking requirements.

An interesting graphic and great insight on parking minimums. An added bonus insight for me is considering the approximate number of homes that’s needed to be built in order to slow the rise of rent relative to inflation. I know it’s not always apples to apples comparison between other cities and Calgary but even an order of magnitude discussion of 40 to 50 homes per 1000 people would mean Calgary should have built 60-75k new homes in the last 5 years beyond population growth baseline?
