Our demographics are changing, and our world is changing, and with them a growing demand for a greater variety of choices in home type, design and location.
Millennials (those born, roughly, in the 1980’s and 2000’s) and Boomers (those born between 1946 and 1964) alike want to live in smaller, affordable homes in neighborhoods where they can walk safely and easily to where they need to go. But often what is wanted or needed is not available – often because of zoning and other regulations in the community, whether intentional or not.
Most recognize that economic development, community stability, and supporting an aging population all include the critical component of an availability of options for places to live. Affordability is a common theme, accessibility is a common need.
