What we get wrong about development, PARKING (!) and how thinking different can create better solutions for everyone. Door County communities are grappling with a boom in tourism, relatively rapid population growth and housing shortages for workers of all income levels. Unfortunately, many are trying to solve these problems with outdated development strategies and without learning from their neighboring communities. Myles Dannhausen Jr. will discuss what we can do better to create communities we love to be in, that support residents of all income levels and that our local governments can afford to maintain.
