Intro

High-tech housing developments for central and western PA’s
poor, disabled and elderly…

bringing hope to America’s Baby Boomers

The next housing crisis is now. [Go on a Quest for an Orderly Presentation http://www.joelsolkoff.com/?p=51]

Here in central and Western Pennsylvania where unemployment is at double-digit levels and workers have found employment elsewhere leaving family and friends, there is a desperate need for independent housing for the disabled and elderly (so as not to move them to government nursing homes–expensive to the government and awful for residents who do not need to be there).

This is an environment where:

  • Hope is all but lost
  • Crime and heavy heroin use define large swathes of territory
  • Residents get comfort from hunting and fishing (now is the special season when you can get a license to kill deer only with a bow and arrow)

This is a world from a Bruce Springsteen song :

“Down in the shadow of the penitentiary
Out by the gas fires of the refinery
I’m ten years burning down the road
Nowhere to run, ain’t got nowhere to go”

Now hear Bruce sing “Born in the USA” from a YouTube video of a live concert in Paris: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tIekamBDiAw

 

Some websites are comprehensive; some devoted to a specific subject. This website is torn between the two. Someday we’ll go to places like this:

 

But not now.

My plan is to simply get started on what is dominating my professional thoughts these days; namely, my recent experiences as a first-time overnight resident of Blueroof Technologies in McKeesport, PA.

Here I am at the front door:

Say what you will about this part of PA: We have here Blueroof Technologies—
a rose blooms in the desert

Join my real and 3-D avatar and you will see Blueroof Technologies as:

Let us begin with the right avatar [not this one].
