More Housing=” Less” Co2 Emissions

Real Estate News TV

Are you interested in reducing CO2 emissions? If so, according to the article. More houses is the solution to this? Yep. So that is Shana Acquisto. And she’s a luxury real estate broker. But the idea here, according to worldwide. Rc So worldwide Rc What do they do, Shana? So worldwide. Rc is basically they provide relocation services. They’re a mobility company that has mobility partners that help people with their relocation. So so they’re, you know, and this is international. This is global. So they have definitely information on I mean, they have great information because they are relocating people all over the world. So, yeah. So I’m going to highlight one part of the article here is the average US state has a housing deficit of 79,000 homes. So we are 79,000 homes short. In each in an average state. So that’s a housing deficit. The shortage has become a national issue and there’s a lot of repercussions. That report finds that building 3.8 million additional homes would help with housing affordability. So if we build all right, so if we break that down, there are 300. I don’t know how many million people live in the country. Yeah, 300 and some million people. So they’re saying we need another 3.8 million homes. So that means for all the people we’re one they need 1% more housing compared to how many people there are. Right. If there’s 3 million, 300 million people and we need 3.8 million homes. Right. We have a 1% problem. But when you extrapolate it because not 1%, not people don’t live alone in a home. But it’s a big problem. Right. And it’ll generate a bunch of local revenue because you’ll have more taxation and more stuff. So they say that’ll generate 7 billion in additional local revenue. So that’s a lot more tax dollars because they say we need more homes. So what do these people live now? I don’t know about that, but let’s look at this. And it’ll also reduce CO two emissions by 7.7 billion. The equivalent of 7.7 billion because they’ll be less miles driven because of all the homes getting built out. Okay. So they’re saying if you build them closer, I guess, like we talked about. Well, they’re just saying if you build more, then people will drive less because we’ll be closer to whatever it is. And because there’s not homes in those places, people have to drive further. So I don’t know that I follow all the logic. But apparently if you have more lacking information. So I’m just reporting. Now, we talked about a few days ago about the schools. Right. A school district bought a building and housed teachers to keep them closer to work. So I don’t know. Yeah. The idea here is that when you build more homes that they’ll be all over the place and then people will be driving less, probably marginally less throughout time because everything should be closer. So right now, if you’re, for example, commuting from Dennis into Dallas, if you built more homes, that maybe there’d be more jobs in Denison, so to speak, and then you would have to live further out because you wouldn’t be able to afford it. And I feel the same thing repeats itself and they might be missing a variable. Right? And they need then they need the jobs there. And then it becomes more expensive to live there. Then you move further out because that same person that lives in Denison now can’t afford Denison anymore. Right. And it still becomes a problem. So it doesn’t matter where. You saw that in Bozeman. Where do you stop. Yeah, there’s a big issue. It is interesting how the information is disseminated and. Right. And how you can rationalize something like housing and CO two emissions. And how they come together and how you can support a claim. More homes means more people, which means more cars, which I don’t know if that’s cool. So build more homes, it’ll help us. So it is an article from Worldwide. Rc There’s a bunch more other items that are hit on in this article. Aside from that. But often I just want to compare the hot button i --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/realestatenewstv/message
