How Sing?

For the latest post I really enjoyed reading about the involvement that Riverside and other cities are required to have when providing housing and a sustainable lifestyle and environment to it's citizens. I enjoy the idea of ensuring a maintainable lifestyle by requiring developers to design one or at least lay the foundations for one. I was aware of codes and laws as to where and how a community should be built but I didn't realize that the original idea behind these designs was so that the community that WILL be there would be able to stay their and live a sustainable lifestyle.

I also really enjoy the idea that housing could be a symbol for and provide so much to the community i.e. if a worker has a house then their commute to work will be shorter and provide for an easier and more efficient ride to work and create time for other endeavors in their life (family, hobbies, etc).

Of course I'm sure not all goes according to plan all the time so it might be valuable to note that in the piece but I enjoy the ideas of the productive aspects of housing and I feel that could be the strong point for the piece: everything housing is supposed to be and maybe what it actually is (if that is any different). I'm supposed to be making a video piece for this (I think) and as of yet I'm not sure how to articulate it but I feel that our discussion is progressing.





Here's a drawing of a house.
