Thanks Jason.
These are great points and the team we have assembled has politics in mind. The foray in the underserved housing market for entry level homes is based on creating a market wedge in that market. The reason for this are manifold:
1. Introduce the planning commission to the concept as a solution for their challenge of entry level and low-income homes which are exciting and affordable. (Begins Tuesday)
2. Use positive PR for the project to engage local sustainability advocates and get their buy-in on the project and political horsepower on their side. (Starts Thursday)
3. Use the first completed home as a model for any potential political stakeholders.
4. Engage a local media partner (already done) to provide air cover and normalize the concept within the community.
5. Find the local hipster population and get their buy in. (J/K)
These are broad strokes but provide a basic framework of our intentions.
