Leaving Las Vegas
I just returned from Educode in Las Vegas where I taught Legal Aspects of Code Administration. It was a great conference that was well attended despite the economic downturn. People came from all over the country and everyone shared stories of the impact of the economy on their communities. I’m hoping some of the attendees will share their stories on this website about the creative things they’re doing.One of the tools I recommended in class was this video which explains the extent of the housing meltdown. The Crisis of Credit Visualized It’s well worth a look. I especially enjoyed meeting building administrators from New Orleans. I was touched by their passion as they face enormous problems in trying to restore their neighborhoods. Our foreclosure problems pale in comparison to what they’ve been facing.
