Exploring more of the fascinating intersection of Activism, Community Engagement, Faith / Religion, Human Nature, Politics, Social Issues, and beyond

• Choices and disclosures over one-size-fits-all mandates
• Reduced housing cost zones to cut inputs and delays
• DIY finishes and simpler specs to avoid interest on extras
• Utility fee relief for better monthly affordability
• Property taxes burden owners and renters alike
• Alternative funding for schools, police and fire
• Sales tax tradeoffs and clearer service assessments
• Smaller, practical homes and manufactured options to ease homelessness
