Keeping Up With Costs

Transportation and housing costs are rising, but wages aren’t keeping up

F

or people with moderate income, housing and transportation take up a disproportionate amount of their income – 59 percent, according to a survey by the Center for Housing Policy, a research affiliate of the nonprofit National Housing Conference, dedicated to urban sustainability.

These rising costs affect people’s ability to provide for other needs, like food and healthcare. Most families either cut corners or accrue debt.

In areas like Washington, D.C., Boston and San Francisco, high income levels combat high housing and transportation costs. However, in other urban places like Riverside-San Bernardino, Calif., Miami and Los Angeles, relatively low median incomes do not keep up with moderate to high housing and transportation costs. The average burden of these expenses makes up 65 to 72 percent of household income.

The inclusion of transportation costs tips the scale of affordability in metro areas. When the top 25 regions indicated by the CHP report are ranked by most to least affordable only by housing, Pittsburgh ranks no. 1. Pittsburgh drops to no. 7 when transportation costs are added. Chicago ranks at 18 but moves up to 13th place because transportation is relatively inexpensive, CHP

researchers say.

Growth in housing and transportation costs outpaces incomes from 2000 to 2010. Data shows that in spite of the housing downturn, housing expenses between 2006 and 2010 were 52 percent higher than in 2000. Additionally, gas prices rose and transportation expenses went up 32 percent. Overall, housing and transportation costs increased at a rate of 1.75 times the growth of income during this period. In Detroit, housing and transportation costs rose 4.5 times faster than income.

Researchers recommend that local and state governments help reduce costs for moderate-income households. They could preserve already-affordable homes near job hubs and public transit stations – location-efficient areas. The researchers suggest that authorities reduce construction costs, improve public transportation and use public investment to support affordable housing. By focusing on these simple steps, local and state government can lessen the burden on moderate-income households.

Subsidized Sprawl

F

ederal spending on real estate is more likely to benefit single-family homes than multifamily housing, advocacy group study shows A new study indicates that the sprawled suburban development of primarily single-family homes is disproportionately encouraged by Uncle Sam. The study, conducted by Smart Growth America, a land development advocacy group based in Washington, D.C., found that the federal government spends $450 billion per year on real estate in the form of tax expenditures, loan guarantees and low-interest loans and grants. This spending has a powerful effect on the U.S. real estate market, impacting where real estate is developed and which projects are constructed.

The study further revealed that small multifamily buildings are less likely to receive financing, even though most U.S. renters live in these smaller buildings.

According to SGA, which, according to its website, “works with communities to fight sprawl and save money,” these federal expenditures are not coordinated across agencies or for national outcomes. Ilana Preuss, SGA’s vice president/chief of staff, says, “Right now, it’s essentially a bunch of

programs operating independently of one another.”

For example, there’s no cross-program intent to reinvest in existing communities, which can increase property values and save taxpayers dollars by reusing existing infrastructure.

“If we never maintain what we have, if we never reinvest, we’re subsidizing development farther from our neighborhoods,” Preuss says. “This bleeds tax dollars because we have to build roads and sewer systems from scratch and won’t return as much value.”

Preuss says that people who want to live near jobs, schools and neighborhood amenities and save money and time spent on transportation should resist sprawl and the federal government’s actions that lead to it.

SGA advocates for the following guiding principles for real-estate investment:

Prep Your Toolbox to Tackle Top Projects T

he do-it-yourself (DIY) movement in home improvement continually grows stronger as a way for people to update their homes while saving money. Fueled by home-improvement shows and popular inspiration sites like Pinterest, homeowners nationwide are looking to get their homes in great shape and most likely increase their market value at the same time.

If you’re one of those DIYers ready to get to work, you need to make sure you have the right tools for the job - no matter what that job is. Here are some suggestions on the latest technology and products in home improvement to help you get the job done quicker and more efficiently, leaving more time to relax and enjoy your hard work.

Painting Prep

Repainting a room is a quick, inexpensive home project that can make a dramatic difference. Before getting started, take time to choose the right paint, the right tools and to do the proper prep work.

Preparing a room for painting involves more than taping fixtures and trim and moving furniture. It’s important to make repairs and clean and prime the walls before applying that first coat. Pre-gummed fiberglass repair tapes and premixed patching compounds allow you patch and paint in the same day. For an older home, wash walls with a trisodium phosphate (TSP) solution and a sponge.

Traditional brushes and rollers are tried and true, but the newest technological innovation on the market can speed up the process. A cordless paint sprayer, has a long-lasting, lightweight lithium-ion battery, a reversible spray tip that rotates to clear clogs quickly, and sprays latex paint as well as stain.

Organizing Your Life

Closet and garage organization systems increase the amount of usable storage space by using vertical space. Hanging rods, shelves and drawers are arranged to take advantage of every inch of space.

The key to installing these items is being able to get into corners and tough angles. For working in tight spaces, a right-angle drill can be useful. The use of power tools with lithium-ion batteries, as opposed to traditional ni-cad batteries, can make the job easier - the tools are lighter, the batteries last four times longer, and the charge doesn’t fade so you have power for the entire job.

Cabinet Facelift

Battery Buying Guide

Renewing the Deck

- Lithium-ion batteries produce a consistent charge throughout the life of the battery. Ni-cad batteries lose power as the battery runs.

Kitchen cabinets can reflect the age of your kitchen with the wear and tear of daily use over time. But a few simple, cost-effective tweaks using the right tools can make your cabinets look new again.

By updating cabinet doors and replacing or installing drawer pulls and other hardware, you can change the look of your kitchen without the time and expense of a complete remodel.

Cleaning and brightening a deck is a simple way to improve your outdoor space. Old paint and stain should be scraped off the wood, and then the wood should be sanded. A stiff-bristle brush should be used to remove any flaking stain or dirt. For pressure-treated decks, an orbital sander can smooth out rough areas on deck boards, railings or stair treads.

Before cleaning and refinishing a deck, you need to check posts, supports and decking for loose, weak or damaged areas, then replace or repair as needed. To handle long or large screws and bolts, an impact driver, gives you power and control. Once the deck is clean and secure, a new stain or paint may be applied. Whatever finish is chosen should be rated for outdoor use, deck surfaces and UV inhibitors.

When using power tools, the latest advancements in lithium-ion technology can make the job easier.

Lithium-ion is a technology that started in power tools in the home improvement sector and now crosses over to additional categories like outdoor power, paint and flooring. The battery’s technology provides customers with a number of advantages over traditional ni-cad battery-powered tools.

- Lithium-ion batteries can be charged many more times than ni-cad batteries, and are not damaged by leaving the charger on too long.

- Lithium-ion batteries are lighter than ni-cad batteries, allowing for smaller, more powerful outdoor and power tools.

Project Clean Up

Whether you decide to take on one of these top projects or all, post-project clean up is an important step for all DIY tasks.

For small post-project clean ups, keep household wipes handy - not only can you clean up any spills or smudges you made, you can clean up your hands, too. For bigger jobs, a wet/dry vacuum can do wonders. It can do all the traditional things a regular vacuum can, while also getting into hard-to-reach areas and cleaning spills and liquids.

- Revitalizing a deck - Cleaning
