I've missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games.
26 times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed. -Michael Jordan

OC Housing Summit
This years summit titled Workforce Housing Facts & Myths, focused on where affordable workforce housing is today and where its headed based on the realities of our housing market, economy, financial institutions, government programs and policies, among other conditions. John McIlwain, a senior fellow with the Urban Land Institute stressed that higher density housing in urban areas which is an important source of more affordable work-force housing performs as well as, if not better, than comparably located traditional housing in terms of value. He said that mixed-use projects can have a positive impact on surrounding properties and can energize formerly marginal land uses such as old warehouse districts and strip shopping centers.
A key goal in implementing successful low-income housing, according to speakers, is to keep it localized, allowing residents to have a close work-life environment, with less of a commute. The summit was hosted by the Orange County Housing Trust in cooperation with the Orange County chapters of the Urban Land Institute, Building Industry Association, League of California Cities, Neighborhood Housing Services, Orange County Association of Realtors and the UC Irvine Merage School of Business-Center for Real Estate.
