FROM THE CHAIR

Goodbye 2020, Hello 2021!

by Stacey Holt, CAM

I don’t think we have ever been so happy to welcome a New Year! I know this past year we have been faced with unique challenges, we’ve had to relearn how to do our jobs, be creative in ways we never thought possible, make really tough financial decisions in order to pay the bills and keep people employed all while navigating through numerous virtual calls a day and constantly worrying about the health and safety of our loved ones.

It has been stressful and exhausting to say the least! But I also think it can be a rewarding blessing to be pushed outside your comfort zone. I encourage all of you to start out with a fresh approach to our New Year and take a moment and give some thought to the following:

Reflect on all you learned.

We became pros at adapting! We so often get stuck in a rut and get used to doing our job the same way day after day. Not in 2020! We had to implement new marketing strategies, change our expectations, and even learn new ways to communicate with each other. These things probably never would have happened if we had not been forced to think and live differently. Make a list of everything new you started in 2020.

Create a 2021 Action Plan.

Think through your 2020 list and determine what was not so successful and what worked out surprisingly well.

I’m pretty sure you will find many things you will want to continue to implement in 2021. And it’s probably safe to say those Zoom and Microsoft Teams meetings will continue to be a staple in all our futures!

News & Events

Celebrate the positives.

There is no doubt there were a lot of negatives this past year. My mom always calls my dad Pollyanna (1960s Disney movie), as he sees the positive in everything.

Pollyanna would play “the glad game” where the goal is to find something about everything to be glad about. I encourage you to find the happiness in your experiences and try to spread good cheer throughout this new year.

We all have so much to be thankful for and sometimes we just need to remind ourselves and others of that.

The GNAA is filled with so many amazing and capable members whoare resilient and forward thinking. I know without a doubt we will be a better association in the long run because of 2020. Our challenges are still ongoing, but I am hopeful we will start to see glimpses of our normal life come back sooner rather than later.

I am very excited to see what this new year will hold for our association and what amazing ideas we implement and what new connections are made! I think this year has great potential to be an epic recovery story where we didn’t just survive but we excelled.

It is a true honor to serve you all as the 2021 Chairman of the Greater Nashville Apartment Association. I appreciate your support and friendship and I am confident we will be able to come out of 2021 better than where we started!

A History to Look Forward To How times of hardship lead to times of prosperity

by Jo Pulcini It is tempting to describe the past twelve months using

wiped out the Eurocentric hereditary power structures

euphemisms. We might be tempted to say “2020 was a doozy!” or to call it the “Year of Zoom.”

and radically reoriented the way people viewed the world for the better.

But truth be told, it was a year of historical tragedy not seen since the one-two punch of the Great Depression and World War II. Consider this: During the four years of the World War II, we lost just over 400,000 Americans.

Coronavirus has taken 300,000 lives in less than twelve months.

The reliance on women at the home front during war and the pandemic accelerated the women’s suffrage movement. Prior to war, many women’s suffrage movements were progressing, but at a slow rate. For example, 8 million American women became Red Cross volunteers and 20,000 worked directly on the front lines.

The obvious hypocrisy was that women were expected to sacrifice for a war they did not vote on. This obvious truth gave women the inertia to push the issue across the finish line in several countries.

The economy tanked. As of this writing, 1 in 8 Americans are going hungry. Millions of jobs have been lost and the full economic and emotional cost will only become clear in hindsight.

So what do we have to look forward to? Are we destined to spiral downward until we are scavenging for WiFi and pumpkin spice in a 2020 version of Mad Max? History suggests that shortly after times of extreme shared hardship, the seeds for prosperity are sown.

That is not to say we can expect a golden age to emerge immediately; often these seeds take time. But it is not unreasonable to be optimistic for the long haul. Let us examine some of these widespread times of hardship and what happened in the coming years.

World War I and the 1918 Flu Pandemic Let us start with the most obvious comparison. The Great War killed 20 million people and the subsequent flu pandemic killed an additional 50 million people. The war

The war fundamentally changed the way citizens viewed the right to govern. Prior to the Great War, the medieval views of hereditary power and class structure were still powerful forces in politics. But the great folly and needless deaths of millions broke the social contract and the empowered masses demanded that government must serve the people. While more tragedy lay ahead in the 1940s, the seeds for the relatively peaceful second half of the twentieth century were laid by institutions such as the League of Nations, which later became the United Nations.

The seeds of the modern civil rights movement were also sown during the post-war period. Hundreds of thousands of African Americans served during the war. According to author and historian Chad Williams, “In many ways continued

News & Events

the war was the beginning of the 20th century civil rights movement. The war transformed the racial and political consciousness of black people.”

While there would be difficult days ahead for the nation in the post-monarchy era, the communal sense of suffering and experience laid the groundwork for a more equitable and kinder society.

Famine and Revolution in 1848 We are all familiar with Tiny Tim and Ebenezer Scrooge and the world they inhabited. The streets were choked with the poor, hungry and dirty masses while a callous businessman had to be convinced by no less than four ghosts to be a better citizen.

The world Charles Dickens wrote about in 1843 would only get worse in the years to come, and not just in England but throughout all of Europe. The first leaps of industrialization radically changed society, and the ability of governments to adjust were lacking to say the least.

People living in rural areas flocked to the cities to find work. Even if they found work in the cities, automation was stealing their jobs. The rich were getting richer and governments across the industrial world were unwilling or unable to tackle the challenges of the day.

Starting in 1845, a series of famines across the continent caused massive pressure on an already creaky way of life. The famous Irish Potato Famine that changed the face of America through mass immigration was just one of many famines across Europe.

Year after year the famines continued, and by 1848 all of Europe was at a breaking point. Starting in February of that year, all of Europe exploded in violence. The explosion of violence occurred in major cities in over fifty countries. Cities were shut down and became clogged with barricades and radicals. Fights between soldiers and revolutionaries continued all year long, and overall tens of thousands of people died in the fighting. For the most part, the governments in power stayed in power.

8

But a powerful message had been sent: Our leaders need to do better.

From the ashes of the failed revolutions, the scope of modern governance was born. The expectations of rulers were no longer to simply keep the peasants safe from outsiders. As the world grew more complicated, it was necessary for governments to become more sophisticated to deal with an increasingly interconnected world. In addition, there was a massive effort to increase democratization.

The following decades would usher in periods of peace and prosperity in Europe that was unprecedented.

Many leaders of the period of prosperity had witnessed first-hand the consequences of inaction and myopic leadership. The idea of modern charities, such as the YMCA (1844) sprang forth from this period.

Laws mandating wages and working conditions were strengthened.

Urban planning became more thoughtful, and a movement sprang forth to make cities livable and pleasant environments. Prior to 1848, parks were seen as the private reserve of the aristocracy. After 1848, parks became a lynchpin in modern city design. The next time you talk to your conspiracy-minded uncle, you can tell him the truth: City parks are part of giant scheme to keep you from overthrowing the government.

Jokes aside, the greatest effect of the revolutions of 1848 is that it established the idea that the reduction of poverty is a measure of the success of a government.

To this very day, poverty rates and the lives of common citizens are considered the hallmarks of good governance. The proof is in the numbers: In the 1840s, the global extreme poverty rate was over 80 percent of the population. Today that number is under 20 percent.

The Panic of 1893 If you ever see a barbershop quartet, their distinctive clothing style is actually called the “Gay Nineties” in continued

Greater Nashville Apartment Association

reference to the carefree approach to a world many were feeling at the time. But soon the quartets in America were singing a sad song.

The basics are eerily familiar to anyone who survived 2008: International speculation created excess wealth and the excess wealth was used to speculate even more.

An economic bubble was created, and like all bubbles it inevitably burst.

Stock prices crashed, thousands of businesses closed, farms were foreclosed and the unemployment rate reached north of 10 percent. There was a huge run on the banks. Things got so bad that financier and moustache enthusiast J.P. Morgan helped bail out the United States Treasury!

The remainder of the decade was a period of national conversation about what had happened and how we could use the lessons to build a better society. While they didn’t succeed in preventing future crashes, Americans found the impetus to make meaningful societal reforms we continue to feel to this very day. The Panic of 1893 heralded the end of the Gilded Age and the start of the Progressive Era (1896). While the full merits of the Progressive Era remain controversial (we’re looking at you, Prohibition!), it was during this era that our ideas for how we live our daily lives were born.

A key idea to emerge was that a middle class was a key to the overall prosperity of the country. Once this idea became widely accepted, the conditions for working families began an upward trajectory that would continue for a century. It is from this era that we get the hallmarks of our economic life: Weekends, overtime, labor laws, anti-trust regulations.

The prevailing attitude was perhaps expressed by Teddy Roosevelt: “We are not attacking the corporations, but endeavoring to do away with any evil in them… We draw the line against misconduct, not against wealth.”

News & Events

The “Middle Class Theory” proved correct. With better wages and more leisure time, Americans spent money, thus creating more businesses. A cycle of demand and prosperity continued. One huge consequence was that women began contributing en masse in the economy.

Some women joined civic organizations to further advance social causes. Others simply enjoyed the freedoms their mothers had never known. No matter how people were spending their time, they now had the money to purchase products that saved them even more time. Everything from jars of mayonnaise to washing machines would become staples of the American home.

When was the last time you churned butter for half an hour after working ten hours on a Saturday? One thing is for certain, we are not descendants of weaklings. It’s no exaggeration to say that the technological marvels of our modern households have their roots in the social consciousness born out the experiences of the Panic of 1893.

The Pandemic of 2020 So here we are – standing at the precipice of an uncertain future with the only sure thing is that we will never quite be same. What does history say about what happens in the aftermath of the crisis?

There will first be obvious changes: Improvements to hospital capacity, N-95 mask supply and distribution and trigger point aid packages. But what happens after that?

It is too soon to say. How will Zoom change us? How will restaurants change? Friendships? Baking? Heck, we don’t even know how babies are brewing!

As Wyatt Earp allegedly said, “Fast is fine, but accuracy is everything.” So what I am confident in saying is this: Our history shows that during times of great communal suffering, we change ourselves for the better. It often takes years to get there, but the destination will for the best in pleasantly unexpected ways.

MAINTENANCE

Basic Plumbing Costs 101

by Rusty Guilliams, CAMT, CPO I have had the pleasure of educating maintenance personnel on plumbing problems throughout my career.

It is important they understand the problems they may encounter, how to fix them, and the costs associated with each situation.

One of the first things I try to educate them on is the cost associated with the parts. An example would be the price in the difference of replacing pex vs. copper and shark bite fittings. If you were to have to run a 10foot section of pipe, which included a 10-foot stick, two 90-degree elbows and two couplings, there is a great cost variance. Pex would need one 10-foot stick ($9.48), two connection couplings ($2), two 90-degree elbow fittings ($5.68) and eight crimp rings ($2.48). This would bring the cost of this job to $19.64.

If you were to use the easy and more expensive shark bites and a copper stick, you would incur a much higher cost to complete the same job. A 10-foot stick of copper is $29.07, two half shark bite fittings are $16.32, two shark bite elbows are $18.22, which would bring your cost to complete the same job to $63.61, a difference of $43.97 to complete the same job and causing three times the expense. Evaluating the cost over the course

News & Events

of a year, consider how much you could save on just this repair.

The second basic plumbing issue for us to review is a much simpler one. Maintenance gets a lot of calls about the toilet filling slowly or not filling at all. This could be multiple things such as the fluid master valve, 401 seal, flapper or the quarter turn shut-off valve. Most of the time you will find it is the fluid master or the 401 seal. They both take about equal time to fix but the cost difference is quite significant. A fluid master costs about $8, and if it is not broken at the slide-on connection or the float there is no reason to replace it. The 401 seal is about $2, so as you see there is a $6 difference in the two parts, or again basically four times as much. I close out all work orders, and when I notice certain techs are using all fluid masters and no 401 seals it is important that I make sure they understand the difference.

These are only two examples of plumbing issues and the cost difference in possible solutions. It is important to evaluate each situation. You want to make sure to review the best action to take care of the resident and be budget conscious for your community.
