Neighbourhood Gems

multi-home-4a

These days, since playing outside is limited to a daily walk/jog (while maintaining social distance, of course), it’s an opportunity to take a look at your neighbourhood – how it is now, and how you want it to look in the future.

In my outings, I’ve noticed these architecturally interesting buildings, which also happen to be multi-home buildings.

Our neighbourhoods don’t have nearly enough of these. A nurse heading into a grueling overnight 12 hour shift shouldn’t have to endure a huge commute because she can’t afford to live closer to the downtown hospital where she works.

We need more of these multi-home buildings.

Our lives literally depend on them.

Photos shown are neighbourhood buildings containing 4, 6 and 8 homes.

    Oh yes! You are so right about that! Also in Germany people’s dream is to have their own big house with a big garden around it. This takes up a lot of space of our nature and moreover, people who can’t afford to live in such a place, like the nurse you mention, for example, cannot anymore find a place to rent at a price in relation to their income!! Why don’t cities and communities build nice and affordable condo buildings with our tax money?? There are so many issues to resolve around the world…. and, yes we can… f.ex. if we educate our kids accordingly, in schools and at home. 👍😀
