Law and the Built Environment

Thanks for setting this up, Anthony.

One of the things I'm interested in (and one of the reasons I'm excited to study in NYC) is law and the built environment, broadly considered (zoning, real estate, land use, affordable housing, environmental law, etc.). I did an M.Arch, and quickly realized that legal constraints were a large determining factor in what actually ended up being built, and how it ended up being occupied.

There's an interesting article in the NY Times online today, about lofts in SoHo/NoHo and the impact of regulations requiring artist certification to live there (the regulations are routinely ignored, and there's disagreement in the neighborhood about whether they should be enforced): http://www.nytimes.com/2003/06/08/realestate/08COV.html

"There is no requirement that we be notified when people move out," she said. "Someone would have to make a complaint in order for us to investigate, and then that means gaining access to the building and asking people if they are artists."

I'm trying to imagine what that would be like. Some building inspector knocking on my door and asking if I were an artist. I'd probably offer them coffee and then explain that I do grocery shopping as routine performance art. :)

I am new to the internet and I am web surfing and I did a search in the search engines on "real estate company blog" and I found your web blog.
I am a Halifax Real Estate Agent in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada and I heard blogs were specialized discussions on topics, thus my interest in searching for a real estate blog on the WWW.
I just wanted to see how the rest of the world thinks and see what trends and technology are happening in the real estate market. I also am interested in a blog for myself, that is if I can understand the technology of operating a blog and from what I see I am somewhat hesitant right now even though it was interesting reading.

Respectfully yours

I live in a loft and I sure hope no more laws go into place about them. I like things just fine the way they are. My landlord irritates me enough with his inspections and I'd like to smack him upside the head for going in un-invited.
