GEOG 352: Day 6 Affordable Housing
Housekeeping Items • Reminder that I will be away next week. Think I asked for a volunteer to help stage manage in my absence. Will talk to that person after class. • We will have Kathryn-Jane Hazel on Tuesday, a founding member of Pacific Gardens Co-Housing, and before that a long-time member of housing co-ops. • On Thursday, you will be shown a video on the problem of affordability and housing alternatives or on energy self-sufficiency. • Today, I will make a couple of points about Chapter 4, and then offer you a choice of video selections.
NOTE: Weeks are subject to change DRAFT SCHEDULE FOR 352 PRESENTATIONS
Housing Affordability • Another example of how people are getting ripped of or stressed financially and emotionally. • Alternative models include: • housing co-ops • co-housing (not particularly affordable) • community land trusts (with an emphasis on housing) • sweat equity • “tiny houses” • social housing, and variants described in the chapter.
