A good story on an awful situation. Thank you to Chief Potter for working tirelessly with residents, county and OWASA to keep people safe. Thank you to Habitat for Humanity for helping keep people in their homes!
The General Assembly must act to regulate wholesaling and other predatory practices.

Really an excellent story from the N&O, by the real estate reporter whose first name is “Chantal”
Called wholesaling, it’s a murky area of real estate currently not defined or regulated under North Carolina law, and it’s on the rise.

The main thing that makes it hard to achieve integrated nature and green in cities isn’t density of buildings or density of people — it's density of cars. And the more well-designed and integrated density of people & buildings you achieve, the fewer cars you need or want.
