What The Neighbors Will Say: A Quick Guide For Developers, Chester Smolski
What The Neighbors Will Say: A Quick Guide For Developers, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"They turn out at the public meetings in large numbers, are well organized, frequently have a list of names from the neighborhood and often come with their own legal counsel. They can turn a seasoned lawyer into a quivering and stumbling idiot, cause expert witnesses to lose their confidence and invariably add to the developer's cost, both in time and money.
They are the public opinion."
Eight Communities Meet To Find And Foot Housing, Chester Smolski
Eight Communities Meet To Find And Foot Housing, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"When resources are provided to local cities and towns to address housing problems, the results can be both innovative and productive. This was aptly demonstrated at a recent workshop on affordable housing.
The 150 attendees who went to Newport, one of the eight cities and towns that received grants to study the problem, were there to share recommendations on how to best address the Providence metropolitan area's lack of affordable housing."
The Governor And The High Price Of Homes, Chester Smolski
The Governor And The High Price Of Homes, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"The recent well-publicized Cranston land sale that put the governor of Rhode Island in the spotlight, has raised questions about the ethics of a public figure being involved in a highly profitable real estate deal."
Housing Problems Grow More Acute For The Poor, Chester Smolski
Housing Problems Grow More Acute For The Poor, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"One in seven people live below the poverty level in this rich country, and the result of this inexcusable condition is that housing is the principal problem for these more than 32 million people.
Nearly two of every three poor people rent their housing, and while home owners are experiencing increased equity because of increasing house values, low-income renters are having to pay higher rents with fewer dollars."
As The Population Ages, Housing Needs Change, Chester Smolski
As The Population Ages, Housing Needs Change, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"The housing needs for all of us change over time, depending on one's position in the life cycle. The single person needs only a room, young marrieds settle for a rented apartment, and the family with children needs more space, both inside and out. Children grow up and still more space is needed, then the children leave the nest. Their parents become "empty nesters." A spouse dies and leaves a person single again and often dependent on others. And then, perhaps, a nursing home becomes a necessity before the person passes on."
Countrywide Leadership Needed To Cure City Ills, Chester Smolski
Countrywide Leadership Needed To Cure City Ills, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"The urban riots of the mid- and late-1960s in this nation were devastating: In the three years from 1964 through 1967, it is estimated that 142 persons were killed and 4700 wounded with property damage running into hundreds of millions of dollars. This sad part of our history brought to a focus the magnitude of our urban problems and the need to attack them at the national level."
Some Modest Progress In Providing Affordable Housing In R.I., Chester Smolski
Some Modest Progress In Providing Affordable Housing In R.I., Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"Affordable housing is a major problem in Rhode Island and the Northeast as monthly figures issued by government, realtors, builders and others constantly remind us. But as bad as the situation is, there are some encouraging actions being taken that offer hope for the future."
Taking Steps To Solve The Country's Housing Woes, Chester Smolski
Taking Steps To Solve The Country's Housing Woes, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"The problems of housing in today's America force us to look back almost a quarter of a century in time to the Great Society era, for it was during this period that some of the most progressive and far-reaching housing legislation in this nation was enacted."
