  1. Encourage renovation of existing housing stock rather than demo and rebuild.

    Where an existing home or building is to be demolished, it would be excellent if there was a requirement implemented by the City that the building be demolished in a way that all materials are either being salvaged for re-use, recycled into the new construction or other green use. Our government needs to control this. I have seen far too many homes being bulldozed and rushed off to the dumpster!

    thanks,
