Clearly having homeowners is much better than renters. The problem with the construction industry, an industry that has seen no increased productivity in 40 years, is that the cost of producing condo units exceed their current value. The only reason apartments are being considered is there is some generous financing available.

The success of our cities requires that our residents take ownership, in many ways, but especially the idea of "home." People who "own" their City are much more interested in making it better. Caring for it, promoting it and enjoying it. Right now, in cities across America we're losing that because we have begun "warehousing" people in over-priced rentals. This is counterproductive.

I've created the technology to change that, along with a few other big challenges. I did this because I thought it was time to actually solve our problems. All of them. It's frustrating to see the whole world simply accept our decline and only engage in trivial, incremental efforts.

I hope you share this belief. My work is here:
