Attending the launch of Dr. Florida’s new book at Rotman tonight…

The Great Reset: How new ways of living and working drive the post-crash prosperity.

Dr. Florida says in order to re-set the economy, we need to increase efficiencies, make cost of housing and cars more affordable, and focus on the new economy.

Question:

Do we need these giant houses? Would we have a better quality of life if we weren’t spending all of our disposable income on cars, houses? Florida says that we have to reset the cost of housing in order to make the cost of living more realistic and sustainable.

Florida says that we need to look at:
