It's Time to Fix This Old Neighborhood
America's 250th Birthday Approaches - Our Infrastructure Crumbles Around Us & Beneath Our Feet
We Have the Power to Rebuild our Neighborhoods
We are as gods and might as well get good at it. Stewart Brand 1968
The Best Way to predict the future is to invent it. Alan Kay, 1971
What do we need? What do we want? How do we get there? How do we pay for it?
Many of us live in suburban developments, built in the last century - now in urgent need of repair & replacement. Bridges are falling down, water systems failing, gas mains exploding, condominium towers crumbling into the Atlantic, utility & condo fees skyrocketing, and more and more staggering special assessments - whether to recover from catastrophic failures, or to avoid them.
We need to fix This Old Neighborhood. We need to do it now. And we have to figure out how to pay for it as investments that pay for themselves, rather than costs that bankrupt us.
