In Remembrance of Bob Jones
|
It is with deep sadness that we announce that Bob Jones, Executive Director of the Builders Association of Northern Nevada for more than 20 years, passed away on August 15, 2019.
Bob joined BANN in 1982 when the organization occupied the top floor of the Reno Disposal building on Vassar Street. During his nearly 25 year tenure, Bob was instrumental in the creation and implementation of a number of programs that changed the association from a small, 165 member group of construction-related companies into the vibrant membership trade group it is today.
Bob leaves behind a loving group of friends and business associates, his wife Linda, his son Chris and daughter Erica, and six grandchildren.
In lieu of flowers, the family has asked that contributions be made to the Builders Association Charity at
www.thebuilders.com.

What Will Cause the Next Recession?
Elliot Eisenberg, Ph.D.
GraphsandLaughs, LLC
|
The Great Recession of 2008 is firmly in the rearview mirror, we are now enjoying the longest recovery in US history, the unemployment rate is near a 50-year low, wage growth is pretty good, inflation is virtually non-existent, and the stock market is just a few percentage points off its all-time high. Yet, talk of recession is increasingly common. And it’s not surprising, given the weakening global economy, the decline in exports, the soft energy and transportation sectors, the ailing agricultural markets, and of course, the overarching US-Sino trade/currency/tech war. That said, while the next recession may well not arrive till 2021, it is not entirely clear what will cause it.

Land Use Regs Foster Income Inequality
Excessive land use regulations contribute to growing income inequality in America, according to a new policy paper from the Harvard University Joint Center for Housing Studies.
Author Michael Stegman, a senior housing policy fellow at the Milken Institute Center for Financial Markets, argues that the collective impact of decades of layering exclusionary zoning and land use controls is not just higher housing prices. These regulations, he says, are also a powerful contributor to declining rates of economic mobility and productivity growth, and widening disparities in the wealth of white and black Americans.
While having local roots, exclusionary land use practices have clearly become a national problem that Stegman says requires bold national action.
Stegman points out that over the last half century there have been at least five presidential commissions and federal initiatives created to address the insufficient supply of affordable housing.
He writes of these commissions: “Though their respective contexts may vary according to the political economy of the time, their centers of gravity are strikingly similar. Each is based on the proposition that unnecessary land use regulations drive up production costs and drive down housing supply, especially for starter homes and affordable apartments. Generally, regulatory barriers include such things as land use restrictions that make developable land much more costly than it is inherently, zoning restrictions, off-street parking requirements, arbitrary or antiquated preservation regulations, residential conversion restrictions, and unnecessarily slow permitting processes.”
Stegman notes a growing consensus that land use regulations in recent decades have contributed to growing income inequality nationwide.
