"The science is solid, and the data are clear; reusing and retrofitting existing buildings is vital to achieving significant
emissions reduction targets. The question is no longer whether to reuse what we can, it's how to do it." - Preservation
Maryland
[January 10th, 2023]
Though in USA approximately 1%, greenhouse gas emissions from Fluorinated Gases are potent: substitutes for ozone-depleting
substances such as refrigerants (hydrocarbons), transmit electricity through power grid (sulfur hexafluoride) and main industrial
processes of aluminum, magnesium, and semiconductor manufacturing, they have extremely higher global warming potentials (GWPs)
relative to other greenhouse gases. Their small atmospheric concentrations can nevertheless have major effects on global
temperatures, especially in the entire manufacturing, during use (aluminum for building materials and food, and disposal (one
use).
Unfortunately, with the rise of semi-conductor chip industry and building manufacturing facilities in the United States, the
rise of Fluorinated Gases are on the rise, and so this man-made greenhouse gas emission is here to continue to ruin lives.

The three main costs of renovating a house are permits, labor, and materials. Permits have nominal costs. Permits are meant
to document the work one wants to do and whether it would meet zoning and safety measures the government body, in this case
Baltimore City, have. It takes expertise to keep labor and material costs within budget. Of these two, labor is the most
costly due to delays such as weather, human error, and illness. Partnering with not jut national, but international Habitat
for Humanity offers a great reduction on labor cost.
1. The cost to homeowner(s)-to-be is drastically reduced. The homeowner(s)-to-be work on building their house (or other work
if not physically able to). This creates home ownership pride.
2. Baltimore workforce numbers have sharply decreased, just like the entire United States.
3. Baltimore has McMechen High School, whose use as a school is ending this month, June 2022. Its use can now be to establish
a Vocational Trade and Guild; a World-Class center for net-zero and net-positive training. And training works for refurbishing
the school. Guilds for various disciplines: including textiles and fine furniture - just like Baltimore was famous for.
4. Those who choose to be in a vocational training have the opportunity and needed work experience by working on the 15,000
houses.
5.This magnificent project of rehabilitating 15,000 houses serves as the hours needed to qualify for licenses. People are
moved out of poverty for good - by good.
Habitat for Humanity has A LOT of not only fans, but "show-up-to-work" builder workers. President Jimmy and Rosalyn Carter
are builders since 1984. There are many many celebrities like Garth Brooks and David Letterman, a self-confessed Habitat
junkie, known to just, "show up!" "Put me to work!" Letterman calls building, "Complete Zen."
Reparations are a collective effort. At same time working - it simply is fun! You also may just make - lifelong friends!
Working is fun! Make lifelong friends.

Baltimore City already has a partnership with Habitat for Humanity. Below you will learn about the "Assembly Line,"
and why it is efficient for the creation of 15,000 homes. While every house will be unique, with the owner's wishes and work
on the house, in order for every house be retrofitted with hydronic radiant floor heating and cooling, and other mandatory
needs houses need in order for families to continue to live in Baltimore for not just many more decades, but centuries. It
is absolutely necessary that our workforce, and Habitat for Humanity is no exception, be trained in the new, but well-tested
and in use all over the world. The United States is well-behind most technologies when it comes to transportation and infrastructure,
but much of it due to stubbornness, and oil, coal, and concrete owners. The goal is to live with all technology and building
materials. At the same time, the houses will allow the dweller the most square footage inside and backyard space (no noisy
air conditioner), the highest air-quality, and quietest living. Below you will learn about how certain industries, with their
materials, changed house-building not for good, but good for their personal and stockholder money-filled pockets.
The houses themselves will distinguish who will be their dwellers. Let's face it. Most of the offered "Dollar Houses" are
600 - 800 square feet attached dwellings. People were quite content living in those houses, and if they didn't know everybody,
they already had friends before moving in through work (Mill houses - Textile, Steel...). But despite today's, "Tiny House"
craze, majority of people still adhere to, "Bigger is Better," and will not want. After apartment high-rise (3 or more floors),
it is the most dense type of housing. It is about making the most amount of square feet as usable as possible, with making
a usable basement if possible. Basements were never thought of living spaces, until the 1950's. Most houses had some kind
of slab, simply to keep mice, rats, and other varmints to come up from the earth.

of out of one ear, I hear these no votes. I’m like,'Wait a minute. They just defeated this. This is a simple thing.
This was a study, $30,000 study. The administration in the mayor’s office had already approved they were going to do
it. Just to look at the effectiveness, to get some information about whether Tax Increment Financing was beneficial to the
greater good.' That’s really what it was. I don’t think it was going to be any big deal. They voted it down,
never got out of committee. Not the first time that this has happened.
Back 10 years ago, there was a bill to set up an oversight panel for tax breaks, et cetera, and never got out of committee.
There has been this baffling reluctance in the city to really have a mechanism of transparency and oversight of these kinds
of subsidies." - Jayne Miller
