 This is true!  And the reasons vary, but probably not an appropriate discussion on BP, lol.

 I totally understand that houses need to be maintained - no matter how they're built.  Most recently, I worked with a client out here in Colorado that let their parade of homes house (from 25 years ago) in a gated community literally fall to pieces; mold between window panes, water infiltrating the kitchen due to lack of roof repair, patio pavers crumbling apart, downspout misplacements that caused water infiltration into the living room....just a mess.  The couple are both empty-nesters and each owns their own business.  They are myriad reasons as to why people let this happen, and I've personally witnessed it transcend socioeconomic boundaries.

I live in a production home that's far from a ghetto.  These builders built the cheapest that code will allow.  The finishes we were allowed to choose were the only difference.

 Agreed that piece likely won't pass.  Citizens United all but ensures that since said billionaires can lobby for candidates as if they were people.

 Think of it like infrastructure bills; if they are passed into law, they happen.  Of course we'll have to go through municipality zoning processes, but that's the nature of what we do.  There will be thousands of companies involved.  The bill proposal is in its early stages so I won't pretend to have all the answers, and I agree that subsidized housing initiatives need some work.

 That's for those with a net worth of more than $100 million.  Congrats if you're there.

3 million homes.  I see an opportunity for us to get on that train.  If the money is coming from the government (We the People), it won't raise the prices of houses because that expenditure is not coming from the builder, lender, or selling agent.  It could just end up being a tax break.  In the end, this is up to Congress, as they control the purse strings.  Also, stopping big companies like Zillow from buying up properties is a good thing.  There is no reason to make house-buying and renting a monopoly.  Make no mistake; people from both sides of the aisle would use this program if made available.

It depends on the project type.  If your project single-family residential we can design in most other states.  If it's commercial then you're looking at Colorado, Florida, and California.

By leveraging our creativity, technical expertise, and industry knowledge, we can help you maximize the potential of your property and achieve exceptional results.
