Times are changing

Anyone who has heard me speak within the past few months has probably heard me say this before: times are changing. The economy is entering a recession and energy prices are shooting through the roof. The era of suburban developments, replete with McMansions, will soon be a thing of the past.



Capturing that trend perfectly is an article by Matt Assad of the Morning Call. Although the article does not touch on urban revitalization or our efforts directly, it does discuss how new construction is slowing, new house sizes are shrinking and planning efforts are underway to allow for less McMansions and smaller/more affordable housing to be built. This is a really interesting article and I encourage you all to read it.
