Live/Work Housing for Small Businesses
I grew up in a live/work home. I've always had a productive
home...because I'm self employed and have always either had a full time
or part time business going. And so has my husband.
"Over half of all businesses are run out of an owner's home.
As the economic crisis deepens, live/work housing provides a viable and
appealing solution for small entrepreneurs who want to work and live in
the same place for economic reasons. It is also a promising market for
Baby Boomers who are starting to retire - or soon will retire - and
want to live in upscale housing in an urban area while conducting
consulting and other service oriented businesses which can function in
a live/work condo." says Dick Lewis, President, Lewis & Associates
A Productive Home
Homes
used to provide us with clothing, food, shelter, education,
entertainment...and more. But over the years we've exported most of
those functions to businesses and public facilitie outside the home.
And paid the price! Both in "retail" prices...and in loss of a strong safety net.
Part
of a green career is balancing what you build OUTSIDE the home in jobs
and networks and investments -- and what you build INSIDE your home in
hobbies and food preparation and car repair and gardening...etc.
How's your personal career productivity going? What would you like to balance between outside and inside?
