Richard Serra is widely celebrated by academics and popular critics alike for rethinking the very nature of sculptural objects. Rather than functioning as sites of aesthetic interest in themselves, Serra's works have served as literal indexes of his working process, or as quasi-architectural structures that prompt critical reflection on how we perceive space and time.…
(Pittis, 2015) In fact, due to Baby Boomers are looking for getting the maximum value from their single-family homes, a future increase in this specific market will make prices to reach a maximum value at certain point, resulting in a period of decline. (Ireland, 2015) For instance, Edmonton will present a reduce in housing prices due to both the large supply of homes in the market and economic issues related to the decline of Alberta’s oil extraction. As Pittis (2015) states, the combination of both factors will cause a reduction in the housing demand since there will be fewer buyers compared to the number of Boomers competing to sell their homes. In Ontario, there will be similar consequences, however, they will vary depending on where and what type of house is in the market. (Pittis, 2015) For instance, inner Toronto may not be hardly affected because its convenient place allows a limited number of single-family homes with a high demand from buyers. In contrast, sixty-four percent of inhabitants in the Great Toronto Area demonstrate being worried about a possible downturn in the real estate prices. (Ireland, 2015). In London, for instance, the vast space for construction will not provide the city with an scarcity value, reducing even more the housing prices in the area. (Pittis,…
Habitat for Humanity is a non profit organization that uses volunteer labor, donated materials from churches and other organizations to build new housing for low-income families. Habitat for Humanity has built over 45,000 homes throughout the nation and over 150,000 homes worldwide. The goal of the organization is to eliminate poverty and homelessness by providing low income families with housing opportunities. In this paper, you will see how you would quantify the amount of percentage of property tax revenue that comes from owners of Habitat for Humanity houses in a particular municipality, arguments in favor and against giving a property tax break to owners of Habitat Humanity homes, and the best way to resolve the problem discussed in this case.…
Development of rustic areas is a challenging issue in which it has opponents and proponents, both of which have their reasons. In a similar situation, the council of Maple county suggested a limitation policy in order to protect current undeveloped farmlands. The Council rationale is preventing housing prices from a noticeable rise, like what happened in Chestnut county ten years ago. On the other hand, opponents of this measure assert a reverse effect in Pine county fifteen years ago. Both groups should consider questions and answer to them wisely to persuade the writer to their point of view. The essay will tell some of these questions and how they help the rationalization of the argument.…

If you choose the latter options (tutorial questions), you are required to submit a written answer (can be in dot point format but including explanation of points) to the question at the tutorial.…
Over the past two centuries, the common denominators of this change have always been driven by the needs of the local people, population growth and expansion. Rapidly population growth and density are caused by industry and people rushing to the major cities, thus causing land to become scarcer and more valuable, often driving up land speculation and causing local government boundaries and responsibilities to be blurred (L.G.C, pg. 70). Meanwhile, the rest of the rural country is experiencing slow growth rates, weak economic baselines and decreasing populations in an underdeveloped municipal government system (L.G.C, pg. 141).…
One might argue that political questions are all economic because of the fact that Americans live in a free-market society where every decision made affects the consumer. Economics is the science that studies how price signals serve to coordinate economic activity in ways that maximize prosperity. Price signals contain information, such as, the scarcity of supply relative to effective demand. If there is a demand for housing because of population growth, yet land is scarce, it becomes most beneficial to the economy to use open land to build homes bringing more people in while putting more money into the economy. Sagoff believes that it’s wrong to think that important decisions, such as these, can be made according to market choices. Is the higher cost of housing worth the loss of preservation of open space land? Economists would answer in the affirmative as this is what the consumer wants, however, Sagoff would disagree.…

Abstract: This paper seeks to explain the creation and dominance of suburbia in the United States from a historical and socio-economic perspective. The phenomenon is shown to be caused by significant state intervention in various markets such as housing, banking, and automobiles. The data and research presented confirm the validity of Austrian theories of state intervention and market distortion. First, we will discuss the historical emergence of suburbia before the intervention. Second, we will describe the particular state policies that introduced perverse incentives into the aforementioned markets. We will then discuss the impacts of these policies on cities and the systematic victimization of their inhabitants. Finally, we will discuss the overall social and economic repercussions of this suburban subsidization.…
