U-Haul’s Post

Arts and culture can contribute to the regeneration of degraded urban areas, but as change occurs and property values rise, there is a risk that they will be replaced by more profitable uses. “….a movement of arts nonprofits [that] are taking a more direct interest in real estate in order to preserve their communities and livelihoods. In Chicago, San Francisco and Boston, these groups are adopting unique organizational and financial structures to survive in overheated real estate markets. These arts models give artists more control over their place within these neighborhoods, but also emphasize stability and cooperation over resale value.” #urbanregeneration #urbandevelopment #sustainability #realestatedevelopment #realestate #urbanplanning

While their hearts are in the right place, sometimes it’s not enough. So many stores and offices advertise ramps for wheelchair users and curb cuts to get them on the sidewalk in the first place. However, the accommodations usually stop there. Before I make an appointment at a doctor’s office, I have to do my research. Is the building on the ground level? If so, does it have automatic doors? If not, is there an elevator and/or a ramp? Is the doorway wide enough for the scooter? Is there a small (but still there) lip that hinders my entrance?
