Quote • “Inclusionary zoning is defined as an ordinance that requires new housing projects to set aside and price a certain percentage of their planned units at below - market rates, enabling workforce families to afford to live where they work.” Dimensions Magazine June 2008

Quote • “When do we move past the question, when do we move past the scorekeeping and start making real commitment to the future? For too long now, we have concerned ourselves with how many points we accumulate according to this template or that rating system or somebody’s version of a program rather than focusing on the intended results and benefits that have us practicing green building in the first place.” Ron Jones
Quote • “Let’s make an authentic stand. Let’s exercise our intellect, our pride, and our conscience without regard to the loopholes that are made available to us. Let’s not wait for a third party to hold us accountable. Let's practice green building because we know we should, because we know we need to, and because we want to ensure a healthy future for the planet and generations of people yet to come.” Ron Jones
