Millionaires are choosing to rent

Hi Sue,
What you point to is so true, thanks!
Pushing the poor and homeless back in to compete with the remainder of the citizenry for low cost housing and even lower paying employment is cruel and as we have seen ineffective! 

Instead we can use our knowledge of the system to increase availability of housing and work opportunities by establishing sustainable, very low cost, uplifting live / work villages, for all especially the most in need. 
Cheers, Jayme

It is nice to see a consensus from along the western coast the States.  The communication may appear small, however, your emails reflect the values of your community.
