Hey Everyone

How's everybody? What did you guys think of the last articles? I agreed with the fact that we need to change or we will destroy our cities. Here are my notes, feel free to comment on any of my questions.

Temporary Contracts

Are architects the only ones worrying about this? I think this is a way larger problem that, yes, we can do something about but we cannot fix it until our whole society realizes that something is wrong with having temporary everything.
Companies no longer care about the people they impact, they only care for themselves and the quickest way to make a buck. They do not care about sustaining a well respected business attitude with repeat customers, and customers don’t seem to mind this. The facts and statistics listed in the article are repulsive and widely unknown, these are impacts we will be feeling in twenty years and then we will ask ourselves “why weren’t we told we were doing this to ourselves?” Why didn’t the government step in and predict our downfall? If consumption doesn’t change, eventually we all will know it is a problem – when everything is gone.
We can write and talk about these things but the bottom line is that if every one doesn’t start believing that how they are living is not sustainable, we don’t have a chance to change our fate. In a world where one person cannot make a difference people just plain don’t care.
