These decisions are generally made by people living in controlled neighbourhoods. However, areas like mine that are historically affordable for new homeowners will disappear to rental units. What these changes actually mean is that the house next to me (that is for sale) can be bought, torn down and rebuilt into a 4-unit townhouse that is no longer required to provide parking spaces. There will be no place to park on my street, no sun in my yard, and potentially 16 neighbours living 5 feet from me. I am all for more housing however, adding incentives for developers to utilize the empty lots in the city's dying areas for apartment buildings would be far more beneficial to the city, the renters and the economy while leaving older neighbourhoods to answer the ever-growing problem of unaffordable home ownership.

After the Ourspace chapter closed, it took me a while to find what I was looking for next. Shutting down my startup was the most introspective I've ever been about my career. I thought a lot about what I wanted to opt into, and more importantly what I wanted to opt out of. Circuit is the outlier I was looking for - bootstrapped, profitable, intentionally small, and exciting yet sustainable growth. Equally as important, I was looking for a place that's as intentional about *how* they work as *what* they work on. And when I say intentional, I mean it: We don't use Slack, OKRs, or scrum. And there are very, very few meetings. All of this is by careful design. And takes immense courage to not simply mirror "normal" ways of working just because everyone else is doing it. It's this kind of nonconformity that got me especially excited about working with Jack Underwood and the team at Circuit. Onward!

This was one of the first events I attended as an EmployIndy team member and it's still one of my favorite events each year. So what? I'll tell you what: 1.) If you're doing great things at your organization around DEIB, NOMINATE yourself!! Tell people about why it's important to you and what it means to be a great organization. 2.) Attend! If you aren't fully confident in where you are at on the DEIB journey, that's ok! Attending this event is such a great way to network with others and learn how you can move the needle. (Pst, I know some people that can help you with those goals too). REGISTER &/OR NOMINATE YOURSELF TODAY!! https://lnkd.in/g3z4x8Ke

Equity Release Advice Equity Release is a favourite topic in the personal finance world, but what is it all about? Equity Release is a plan available to home owners (with or without mortgages) who are over the age of 55. If the home is owned by a couple, the younger of the pair should be at least 55 years old. The plan is simple. These days it is commonplace for homeowners to have built up significant equity in their properties. For the sake of this article; Equity = Value of property minus any mortgage outstanding. The homeowner can borrow, tax-free, from the equity. The older the borrower the greater will be the amount of equity that can be drawn down from the home. How do you calculate equity release? To calculate the maximum loan available on an equity release plan, you require the age of the youngest homeowner and the property value. Plans start from age 55 when you can release around 22.5% of your properties value. On average, on each birthday you can release an extra 1%, up to around 55%.   We recommend seeking independent advice for anyone looking at the possibility of using Equity Release to raise cash. The money raised can be used for any legal purpose. Interest is added to the amount of equity accessed and this can be deferred until death or earlier admission to a care home. Alternately the borrower can make voluntary interest payments.   We at Regents Court Financial, directly authorised by FCA (Financial Conduct Authority) in the UK, will take the borrower from start to finish They will receive all advice and information so that they can decide what is best for them. We will also advise if an alternative arrangement is more suitable to the client’s circumstances.   Clients usually approach us by recommendation from friends, family and professionals including, financial advisers mortgage advisers, accountants, solicitors and others. Those interested should contact Regents Court Financial for a no charge consultation.   Ron Warren (ron@regentscourtfinancial.co.uk) 01902 311381 Marketing Manager Regents Court Financial

A country like the USA needs a North Star everyone agrees upon and continues to head toward that North Star as a connected as possible making strides and improvements to get there. The states should be aligned and become a piece of that puzzle offering their particular strengths and resources as part of the action plan to reach that North Star. The North Star is the fulfillment of our Constitution and Bill of Rights. USA citizens are afforded choices and resources to reach their personal potential with purpose. Each contributing citizen has an equal chance, requiring drive, passion, self investment to get there. Confidence, respect, self authored responsibility, accountability and resilience to find resources and support must be found in one’s own values, strengths, mission, vision and role of leadership. This is not where federal government should be involved. With all the technology we have at our fingertips, we are well armed with all we need to realize our dreams. Don’t reach for a crutch when you have two working legs! (Metaphorically only). We are all created for a purpose to the whole…very strong. You must author the vision, your mission and the action plan. Only you are in charge of your role in life. Faith will get you there because it is not a coincidence, it is by design YOU were created to be here, in the now, with your strengths and passion, dreams and aspirations to make us whole. We are all connected by the same Creator with His vision of who He created us to be. The gift of freedom, free will is within each of us. The rest of us need you to be part of the whole. Realize your blessings, the very best of who your are to create the very best of who you were born to be! Start with you, your family, your neighborhood, your community.
