We Have a Solution
For too long we Americans, more particularily we Atlantans, have sprawled our great city as we discarded our homes for a newer home moving further and further from the core of our great city. Always, our reasoning was simple that "this house just does not work for me any longer". Our economic crisis and the cost of fuel has caused us to stop and rethink our past choices. Atlanta will now begin to change course and will redirect growth inward towards our city, towards rapid transit and towards a life which is not spent in traffic. Redesigning and rebuilding our existing neighborhoods to address today's needs is route to a destination of a richer, less stressful life.

Christine,
ReplyDeleteI love your web site and your common sense approach to solving residential and commercial challenges. We know first hand that your answers resolve the issue completely and beautifully! Thanks for all you do to make Atlanta a better place to call home!
Christine, Your website is well done and is a excellent reflection of who you are and the advantages you bring to a building project. I am also a women involved in the building process. I agree with your statement of "rethinking our past choices of where we build" and would like to add to that thought "how we build". I believe the Atlanta building market has been way to willing to build homes to "sell" and not been willing to consider how sustainable that home will be for home owners. Due to the economic crisis I see homeowners becoming more educated about Green building options. Not only do they not want to commute they also want to reduce there living cost. They are taking a serious look at how Green-building options will effect there living space. I am excited about the options homeowners have to live healthier, quieter and more energy efficiently in the home they love.
