Rick Holliday talks to The Real Story today about ways to contribute to a sustainable economy. . . about the kind of career choices people make, the kind of college programs offer, and the kind of decisions that get made in the near term that will help people re-envision what their next home is going to feel like. Rick is good with smaller footage, as long as it is smarter footage. He raises the question about how much more new housing goes into the pipeline, and how much time can be spent on looking at underutilized housing and how to turn it—and whole neighborhoods—around.

Although there’s a huge backstory here to be saved for another week with Rick in 2010, take a listen to Rick today, talking about the founding of Bridge Housing, twenty five years and 13,000 housing units ago. It’s a great story—truly a point of pride for the whole Bay Area—and Rick is the right guy to tell it. Consider it a tease for a great week on non-profit housing after the New Year.
