09-01-2012 10:34 The economy of scale. Don't worry, as the economy collapses into anarchy under the Republican policy, the Republicans, like Fineswine, will suddenly become democrats with a small "d". When Carter was Prez. he put solar cells on the White House. When Reagan came into office, he ripped the Solar cells off the House and threw solar into the dust bin of history. The Chinese, familiar with recycling, picked up the solar cell industry and decided to install them on all their new houses. China decided 10 years ago that solar energy was a form of nuclear power, fusion, at the only safe distance from our environment, 93000000 million miles away. So to ban nukes, dirty coal and oil, China decided to make sun power their national power. Let the sun shine in. Sing the song each day. China is building a million new solar powered apartment buildings a year. The national bird of China is the crane, the construction crane. China now produces more high quality PV solar cells than any nation. In 5 more years China was have 50% of its power needs supplied by solar power. You may scoff, but by 2020, you will be crying, "Why didn't someone tell me that solar power is better, cheaper and FREE!" Stop crying. Start building solar BERM housing today. We need to buy solar cells from China and make them into solar powered houses to break our addiction to OIL and nukes. This will jump start the California housing economy. All non solar housing must be scrapped. This is the dawning of the age of Solar ...

30-01-2012 17:58 YoChicago.com Jonathan Jackson is a Technical Engineer with Plumbers Local 130 and a licensed surveyor. When I stopped to chat with him at K2 at K Station, a 34-story apartment tower under construction in the Fulton River District, he was checking to ensure that nothing outside of the site was moving. Moving? As Jonathan explains in the video, large-scale construction can cause settling and movement of other structures, utility lines, etc. outside of the site itself.

30-01-2012 13:28 http://www.reit.com The multihousing industry is poised for a strong year in 2012, according to Doug Bibby, president of the National Multi Housing Council (NMHC). In a video interview with REIT.com at the NAREIT headquarters in Washington, DC, Bibby discussed growth, maintaining the momentum and keeping up with the demand for multifamily housing. On the heels of NMHC's annual meeting in January, Bibby said that there is great optimism in the industry. "We're seeing a surging demand for rental housing and a preference for apartments, so that is providing great growth opportunities for our members," Bibby said. "At the same time supply is more limited in the industry." He attributes the current lack of supply to the previous single-family housing bubble and added that NMHC's member corporations have been much more restrained in their building within the last few years. As a result, he anticipates rental prices to continue to grow this year. In order to sustain that momentum, Bibby said that it will take jobs and a growth in the economy. He also said that a healthy single-family sector needs to be established. "Multifamily always performs better when there's a healthy single-family sector," Bibby said. Bibby responded to President Obama's recent State of the Union speech by saying the president rightfully focused on the single-family housing market since millions of homeowners are under water on their mortgages. However, he said he would have like to see issues such as the need ...
