[quote:Anonymous Coward 2731277:MV8yMTM3MDQzXzM2MDc5NzQyXzczQTUzQUZC] [quote:Anonymous Coward 30785039:MV8yMTM3MDQzXzM2MDc5NzExXzk3REI5RjA0] Same shit in Belgium. Where I live, people who own a house and rent it to others will be obliged by 2015 to isolate their houses to a certain value. If they do not agree, the house CAN NOT be rented until upgrades have been made. The house will even be declared as non sustainable. Wicked shit. [/quote] Wow! Isn't that the same in Korea I read recently? They are making the units there and I read also in UK they have to allow them to rent out to others if they are just one person living alone ? This is in NY! Recent as well. http://online.wsj.com/article/AP11af8769617c44058907a98b23c09724.html NEW YORK — New York City has a designer for its first micro-unit apartment building. Mayor Michael Bloomberg said Tuesday a development team won the design competition for the pilot program. It'll design and construct a 55-micro-unit building, "My Micro NY," on city-owned property on West 27th Street in Manhattan. The units will be between 250 and 370 square feet — about the size of a one-car garage. Forty-to-50 percent will be reserved for low- and middle-income New Yorkers. The announcement was made at the Museum of the City of New York. An exhibition opening at the museum Wednesday features a 325-square-foot model of a fully-furnished studio. It also features the designs of the city's winner and four finalists. The team consists of Monadnock Development LLC, Actors Fund Housing Development Corporation and nARCHITECTS. [/quote]

Under the broad banner of "health," the federal government not only is telling Americans what to eat, it's also telling us to make our homes safer.
This week, the Obama administration released a "bold new vision for addressing the nation's health and economic burdens caused by preventable hazards associated with the home."
The project has a name: "Advancing Healthy Housing: A Strategy for Action."
