<p>The recommendation to allow two-family homes to be constructed in some neighborhoods that are currently zoned for single-family homes has been the biggest sticking point in a draft rewrite of zoning regulations that was <a target="_blank" href="https://www.thehour.com/news/article/norwalk-zoning-code-regulations-17897264.php" rel="noopener">unveiled last month</a>. This is the city&#8217;s first major zoning rewrite in decades. </p>
<div id="paywall">
<p>“Some of us invested into a single-family zone and we expect it stay that way,” resident Rich Bonenfant said during the final district zoning meeting on May 24. </p>
<p>        <!-- hearst/article/content/embed.tpl --></p>

<p><!-- e hearst/article/content/embed.tpl -->            </p>
<p>Director of Planning and Zoning Steven Kleppin said they will continue to host more community meeting leading up to the public hearings on June 21 and 28. At these hearing residents will be able to voice their concerns to the Planning and Zoning Commission.</p>
<p>“Keep in mind that the draft map is a draft map; it is not the final map,” Kleppin said. “It’s the staff initial set of recommendations on things. I expect the map will get revise prior to the end of June for sure.” </p>
<p>        <!-- hearst/article/content/relatedStories.tpl --></p>
<section class="relatedStories" data-progressive="true"></section>
<p>     <!-- e hearst/article/content/relatedStories.tpl -->            </p>
<p>During the district A meeting, Kleppin outlined some of the changes including changing areas around the Norwalk Hospital from a single family zone to a CD-3 zone which allows, but does not require, two-family homes. </p>
<p>“One of the big drivers and one of the big employers for the city is Norwalk Hospital, so we think the more opportunities we can to provide housing in and around the hospital for doctors, nurses and all kinds of  tech staff,” Kleppin said. “The more walk-able we can make that area around the hospital the better that will be for folks.”</p>
<p>The CD-3 zone proposed has upset many residents, but Kleppin said this change if adopted would be incremental and market driven.</p>
<p>“Change is scary and I understand that that,” Kleppin said. “We think these changes are incremental changes. They are not happening overnight.”  </p>
<p>In areas that allow two-family homes, “less than 50 percent of those neighborhoods have two-family houses on them,” he said “So what’s happening is that the market is dictating what is happening on those properties, not zoning.”</p>
<p>Last week Mayor Harry Rilling said he was “uncomfortable” with the changes regarding single-family home zones. </p>
<p>“Upfront, I want to be perfectly clear that I am uncomfortable with some of the recommendations and disagree with the level of density being proposed,” Riling said in a statement on May 18. “In particular, I am concerned about where some single-family areas are being proposed as two-family and where some multifamily zones are more prominent across the city.”</p>
<h2 class="cci_subhead" title="CCI Subhead">Environmental, historic concerns</h2>
<p>One resident, Elsa Peterson Obuchowski raised concerns about environmental precautions included in the new zoning plan, citing a story about<a target="_blank" href="https://www.thehour.com/news/article/sono-streets-raised-flooding-climate-change-18112495.php" rel="noopener"> flooding and street levels publish in The Hour earlier this week.</a> </p>
<p>Kleppin said Norwalk’s Planning and Zoning and the Connecticut Institute for Resilience and Climate Adaptation are working closely together.</p>
<p>“We are well aware of the changes they&#8217;re talking about and they are well aware of the proposed zoning, and we are taking about how those two work hand in hand and impacts from that how it gets tied into our code,” Kleppin said.</p>
<p>Another concern raised was the historical preservation of Norwalk buildings and landmarks. Tod Bryant, president of the Norwalk Preservation Trust, said he is concerned that the proposed zoning lacked historical preservation, citing two recently approved projects — the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.thehour.com/news/article/south-norwalk-hotel-tom-rich-udelman-17789018.php" rel="noopener">expansion of Marriott SoNo Residence Inn</a> and an <a target="_blank" href="https://www.thehour.com/news/article/east-norwalk-apartment-complex-controversial-17858606.php" rel="noopener">apartment complex development</a> at 1 Cemetery St. </p>

</aside>
<p>“I think there should be more requirements for developers who are asking to build something that will impact a property either in the historic national registered, state registered or the city historic research inventory,” Bryant said. </p>
<p>Kleppin said historical preservation codes have been “on the radar.”</p>
<p>Nicol Ayers, Common Council member for District A, commented on how the recent Waypointe development has blocked a lot of the natural light on surrounding properties including the historical Bethel AME Church.</p>
<p>“People are sick and tired of multi-story building that are taking natural light out of their homes,” Ayers said. “There is a historic church that sits on the corner of Academy Street, Bethel AME Church, the oldest Black church in the city. There is no natural light there anymore  because Waypointe is so high.”</p>
<p> The Planning and Zoning Commission recently approved a text amendment change regarding<a target="_blank" href="https://www.thehour.com/news/article/norwalk-zoning-oks-new-historic-preservation-18108731.php" rel="noopener"> properties abutting historical properties,</a> to apply for special permits on height, parking or other exceptions.  </p>
<p>All comments from the district and community meetings will be complied and reported to the commission. Residents may also submit questions and comments for planning and zoning <a target="_blank" href="https://www.norwalkct.gov/3445/Zoning-Regulations-Update" rel="noopener">at their website. </a></p>

<p>The unveiling of <a target="_blank" href="https://www.entrepreneur.com/topic/bmw" rel="follow noopener">BMW</a>&#8216;s 2024 5 Series is causing some side eye.</p>
<p>Entering its eighth generation, the BMW 5 Series offers a revolutionary new feature that allows drivers to change lanes just by looking into its side view mirrors.</p>
<p>With Active Lane Change Assist, an optional part of the Highway Assistant Level 2 driver assistance suite, your car can automatically change lanes for you. Here&#8217;s how it works:</p>
<ol>
<li>The system first prompts you that a lane change is suggested. This might be because you&#8217;re approaching a slower car or because your lane is ending, and you need to merge.</li>
<li>With Active Lane Change Assist, the driver simply looks at the side view mirror, and the car will change lanes — as long as it&#8217;s safe.</li>
</ol>
<p>Other vehicles, such as <a target="_blank" href="https://www.entrepreneur.com/topic/general-motors" rel="follow noopener">GM</a>&#8216;s SuperCruise system, have an automated lane change option, but they require you to accept the prompt using the turn signal stalk physically. BMW takes that step out of the process, letting your eyes do the steering.</p>
<p><b>Related: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.entrepreneur.com/business-news/bmws-i-vision-dee-concept-car-changes-color-with-just-a/442329" rel="follow noopener">BMW&#8217;s New i Vision Dee Concept Car Can Change Colors Without Going to the Body Shop</a></b></p>
<h2>Some concern</h2>
<p>Not everyone is a fan of this new feature. <a target="_blank" href="https://www.motortrend.com/news/2024-bmw-5-series-eye-lane-change-tech/" rel="nofollow noopener">MotorTrend</a>, for example, questioned the safety of eye-controlled steering.</p>
<p>&#8220;We&#8217;d be lying if we weren&#8217;t slightly concerned,&#8221; the auto magazine wrote. &#8220;The reality is that it&#8217;s not an arduous process to move your hand a few inches and touch the stalk, and there&#8217;s a lot less potential for the car to misinterpret the action. We&#8217;ll have to try this system out once the car is available for review to see for ourselves.&#8221;</p>
<h2>First electric 5-Series</h2>
<p>The eye-controlled lane change system wasn&#8217;t the only major news to come out of BMW this week. The German automaker also announced the debut of two all-electric 5 Series models.</p>
<p>The i5 eDrive40, with 335 horsepower, has an EPA range of about 300 miles per charge. The sticker price starts at $67,795.</p>

<p>On the higher end is the 5 M60 xDrive, a two-motor, 590-horsepower machine. You&#8217;ll have to shell out at least $85,095 for this one.</p>

<p>The social media landscape is in a constant state of flux, with new platforms and trends coming and going all the time—with recent uncertainty surrounding potential TikTok bans in several countries leaving businesses wondering how to best maintain their social media presence. Despite these challenges, businesses must stay adaptable and learn to navigate these changes to succeed in their social media marketing efforts.</p>
<p>To help you ensure success in an ever-changing social media landscape, members of <a target="_blank" href="https://yec.co/" class="color-link" title="https://yec.co/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" data-ga-track="ExternalLink:https://yec.co/" aria-label="Young Entrepreneur Council">Young Entrepreneur Council</a> share their tried-and-true social media marketing tips for businesses.</p>
<h2 class="subhead-embed color-accent bg-base font-accent font-size text-align">1. Strengthen The Organic Aspects</h2>
<p>Spend time building the organic parts of your business. From killer SEO to just good regular content, having a strong wireframe is going to matter when popular social platforms inevitably change. If your SEO is strong, your audience will be able to find your product—whether it&#8217;s on Instagram or TikTok or whatever the next platform is—even as you figure out the algorithms. &#8211; <a target="_blank" href="https://yec.co/u/d62d7676-7eac-454c-909c-f36f206b3f75" class="color-link" title="https://yec.co/u/d62d7676-7eac-454c-909c-f36f206b3f75" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" data-ga-track="ExternalLink:https://yec.co/u/d62d7676-7eac-454c-909c-f36f206b3f75" aria-label="Kaitleen Shee">Kaitleen Shee</a>, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.joingrow.com/" class="color-link" title="https://www.joingrow.com/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" data-ga-track="ExternalLink:https://www.joingrow.com/" aria-label="GROW">GROW</a></p>
<h2 class="subhead-embed color-accent bg-base font-accent font-size text-align">2. Have A Direct Line To Your Customers</h2>
<p>If your entire brand is built on the back of any one platform—social or otherwise—you likely don&#8217;t have a real brand or business. We always ask ourselves, &#8220;If Instagram, YouTube, Facebook or the like were to disappear tomorrow, would people still know we exist?&#8221; If the answer is no, then focus on building first-party customer data, such as email and SMS. Having direct lines of communication with your customers is key. &#8211; <a target="_blank" href="https://yec.co/u/c652629e-3c21-4a4e-bc49-54b95c739d7d" class="color-link" title="https://yec.co/u/c652629e-3c21-4a4e-bc49-54b95c739d7d" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" data-ga-track="ExternalLink:https://yec.co/u/c652629e-3c21-4a4e-bc49-54b95c739d7d" aria-label="Jeff Cayley">Jeff Cayley</a>, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.worldwidecyclery.com/" class="color-link" title="https://www.worldwidecyclery.com/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" data-ga-track="ExternalLink:https://www.worldwidecyclery.com/" aria-label="Worldwide Cyclery">Worldwide Cyclery</a></p>

<h2 class="subhead-embed color-accent bg-base font-accent font-size text-align">3. Develop A Core Strategy</h2>
<p>Have a core strategy that will keep your online presence established and active, even as trends and restrictions come and go. Keep using platforms and content styles that work for you. Occasionally, shake things up with your audience with offbeat viral challenges, collaborations or contests to raise brand, product or cause awareness and engagement. Influencers and celebrities can help with such tactics. &#8211; <a target="_blank" href="https://yec.co/u/5a8aafaf-dd94-443c-bc3a-fab1adad7b99" class="color-link" title="https://yec.co/u/5a8aafaf-dd94-443c-bc3a-fab1adad7b99" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" data-ga-track="ExternalLink:https://yec.co/u/5a8aafaf-dd94-443c-bc3a-fab1adad7b99" aria-label="Bryce Welker">Bryce Welker</a>, <a target="_blank" href="https://big4accountingfirms.org/" class="color-link" title="https://big4accountingfirms.org/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" data-ga-track="ExternalLink:https://big4accountingfirms.org/" aria-label="Big 4 Accounting Firms">Big 4 Accounting Firms</a></p>
<h2 class="subhead-embed color-accent bg-base font-accent font-size text-align">4. Establish A Consistent Brand Identity</h2>
<p>Building a strong brand presence that transcends individual social media platforms can provide stability in a changing landscape. By establishing a consistent brand identity, businesses can create a loyal following that remains engaged regardless of the platform. This includes developing a unique brand voice and delivering consistent messaging across all social media platforms. &#8211; <a target="_blank" href="https://yec.co/u/d270b3a0-eab1-43c8-9dc7-4440d0f0de7e" class="color-link" title="https://yec.co/u/d270b3a0-eab1-43c8-9dc7-4440d0f0de7e" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" data-ga-track="ExternalLink:https://yec.co/u/d270b3a0-eab1-43c8-9dc7-4440d0f0de7e" aria-label="Candice Georgiadis">Candice Georgiadis</a>,<a target="_blank" href="https://digitalday.com/" class="color-link" title="https://digitalday.com/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" data-ga-track="ExternalLink:https://digitalday.com/" aria-label="Digital Day"> Digital Day</a></p>
<h2 class="subhead-embed color-accent bg-base font-accent font-size text-align">5. Diversify Your Presence</h2>
<p>Similar to investing, diversification is key. Each business should be on multiple social media platforms, not just to capture the differences in audience demographics, but also to hedge their bets on any one platform. While Instagram and TikTok dominate in reels, those can also go on Facebook. While Facebook performs well with written updates, those can also be amplified on Twitter. &#8211; <a target="_blank" href="https://yec.co/u/10906f07-0135-4669-a1fa-1240a0d75498" class="color-link" title="https://yec.co/u/10906f07-0135-4669-a1fa-1240a0d75498" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" data-ga-track="ExternalLink:https://yec.co/u/10906f07-0135-4669-a1fa-1240a0d75498" aria-label="Joel Mathew">Joel Mathew</a>,<a target="_blank" href="https://www.gofortress.com/" class="color-link" title="https://www.gofortress.com/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" data-ga-track="ExternalLink:https://www.gofortress.com/" aria-label="Fortress Consulting"> Fortress Consulting</a></p>
<h2 class="subhead-embed color-accent bg-base font-accent font-size text-align">6. Create High-Quality Content</h2>
<p>Focus on creating high-quality content that resonates with your target audience, regardless of the platform. By prioritizing content quality, businesses can adapt to changing social media trends. Authentic and engaging content that connects with the audience will continue to drive engagement regardless of the platforms or trends that may come and go in the ever-evolving social media landscape. &#8211; <a target="_blank" href="https://yec.co/u/dbb3bba7-1dfc-4af8-8452-47eabcf1573f" class="color-link" title="https://yec.co/u/dbb3bba7-1dfc-4af8-8452-47eabcf1573f" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" data-ga-track="ExternalLink:https://yec.co/u/dbb3bba7-1dfc-4af8-8452-47eabcf1573f" aria-label="Abhijeet Kaldate">Abhijeet Kaldate</a>,<a target="_blank" href="https://wpastra.com/" class="color-link" title="https://wpastra.com/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" data-ga-track="ExternalLink:https://wpastra.com/" aria-label="Astra WordPress Theme"> Astra WordPress Theme</a></p>
<h2 class="subhead-embed color-accent bg-base font-accent font-size text-align">7. Build A Community</h2>
<p>Social media isn&#8217;t simply about promoting your business—it&#8217;s also about building a community. By focusing on building a community, you can have a more engaged audience who is truly interested in your business. It&#8217;s easier to achieve success on social media if you focus on building a community rather than using it merely as a marketing platform. &#8211; <a target="_blank" href="https://yec.co/u/223592d7-2cae-45a6-8809-970ce84a2691" class="color-link" title="https://yec.co/u/223592d7-2cae-45a6-8809-970ce84a2691" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" data-ga-track="ExternalLink:https://yec.co/u/223592d7-2cae-45a6-8809-970ce84a2691" aria-label="Thomas Griffin">Thomas Griffin</a>,<a target="_blank" href="https://optinmonster.com/" class="color-link" title="https://optinmonster.com/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" data-ga-track="ExternalLink:https://optinmonster.com/" aria-label="OptinMonster"> OptinMonster</a></p>
<h2 class="subhead-embed color-accent bg-base font-accent font-size text-align">8. Stay Flexible And Adaptable</h2>
<p>To ensure success, businesses should focus on the larger strategy and stay adaptable and flexible in their approach as they anticipate the landscape changing. Work toward building a strong brand presence across diversified channels and keep up to date with the latest trends and platforms. Continually monitor your analytics and keep an eye on customer feedback to use as your North Star. &#8211; <a target="_blank" href="https://yec.co/u/3bcaabfa-f8f3-4636-803c-50a2a6e6b094" class="color-link" title="https://yec.co/u/3bcaabfa-f8f3-4636-803c-50a2a6e6b094" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" data-ga-track="ExternalLink:https://yec.co/u/3bcaabfa-f8f3-4636-803c-50a2a6e6b094" aria-label="Kevin Getch">Kevin Getch</a>,<a target="_blank" href="https://webfor.com/" class="color-link" title="https://webfor.com/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" data-ga-track="ExternalLink:https://webfor.com/" aria-label="Webfor"> Webfor</a></p>
<h2 class="subhead-embed color-accent bg-base font-accent font-size text-align">9. Prioritize Creativity</h2>
<p>Many brands stick to an evergreen format for their marketing assets. While that may work for their primary promotional channels, they need to have an edge and an ability to pivot as social platforms and consumption habits evolve. By prioritizing creativity, companies free up resources to constantly think about new ways to engage audiences and produce exceptional content. &#8211; <a target="_blank" href="https://yec.co/u/999ca476-a547-40d1-81ff-80f8cc5b769e" class="color-link" title="https://yec.co/u/999ca476-a547-40d1-81ff-80f8cc5b769e" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" data-ga-track="ExternalLink:https://yec.co/u/999ca476-a547-40d1-81ff-80f8cc5b769e" aria-label="Firas Kittaneh">Firas Kittaneh</a>,<a target="_blank" href="https://amerisleep.com/" class="color-link" title="https://amerisleep.com/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" data-ga-track="ExternalLink:https://amerisleep.com/" aria-label="Amerisleep Mattress"> Amerisleep Mattress</a></p>
<h2 class="subhead-embed color-accent bg-base font-accent font-size text-align">10. Focus On Your Audience</h2>
<p>Before launching any sort of presence on social media channels, you as a business should clearly understand your personas and what social channels they are using. When you provide relevant content to your personas on the channels they love, there&#8217;s no need to chase new social media trends and hypes. &#8211; <a target="_blank" href="https://yec.co/u/31c8fc25-e92b-4ee3-8768-127178d7f212" class="color-link" title="https://yec.co/u/31c8fc25-e92b-4ee3-8768-127178d7f212" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" data-ga-track="ExternalLink:https://yec.co/u/31c8fc25-e92b-4ee3-8768-127178d7f212" aria-label="Anna Anisin">Anna Anisin</a>,<a target="_blank" href="https://www.datascience.salon/" class="color-link" title="https://www.datascience.salon/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" data-ga-track="ExternalLink:https://www.datascience.salon/" aria-label="DataScience.Salon"> DataScience.Salon</a></p>

<hr />
<p>Eddie and Kristy Riley knew they wanted to start and raise their family in State College, but for a long time, owning a home in the borough seemed out of reach.</p>
<p>Both are Penn State graduates. Eddie works in mental health care; Kristy is a teacher who now stays at home to care for their two sons. But a mortgage in the area was too much. The median home value in State College is around $370,000.</p>
<p>“There were several times when we’d look at each other and have the conversation like, what, what did we do wrong?” Eddie Riley said.</p>
<p>The Rileys could afford rent, but sometimes their heating bills were $500 for one month. Eddie and Kristy remember heating only one room for the whole family and blocking off other parts of the house with blankets. A rent hike on top of the high energy bills forced them out of the borough a few years ago.</p>
<p>They ended up finding the State College Community Land Trust, which has a program designed not only to help people afford a home, but to renovate the home to be as energy-efficient as possible. That efficiency piece saves the homeowners money and also cuts down on emissions from home heating, one of the top contributors to the greenhouse gasses that fuel climate change. The efforts can be of particular help in Pennsylvania, which has some of the oldest housing stock in the nation.</p>
<p>The land trust’s mission is to promote affordable homeownership in the borough. A recent pilot program added an energy efficiency component to 12 homes that were built in around the 1950s and 60s.</p>

</div>
<p>The Rileys became part of the pilot when they moved into the white cottage on Old Boalsburg Road. The land trust had done an energy audit in the house, added insulation to the attic and basement, installed an electric, heat pump-powered water heater and put new, efficient appliances in the kitchen. Those improvements reduced the home’s energy needs by a quarter.</p>
<p>Now the Rileys have been homeowners for over a year and they don’t have to worry about whether they will be able to pay all their bills. The family was even able to visit relatives in Florida this spring.</p>
<p>“It’s been a blessing, a gift. I feel like we won the lottery,” Eddie Riley said.</p>
<p>Others may also have the chance to win out soon, because of new federal money and state programs that aim to help people save on their energy bills while reducing planet-warming emissions.</p>

<h3>Budget-friendly can be climate-friendly</h3>
<p>Emissions from home heating account for about 7% of greenhouse gas emissions in Pennsylvania.</p>
<p>Data from the Energy Information Administration shows that, nationally, home energy use accounts for about 20% of emissions when accounting for indirect emissions from electricity use.</p>
<p>Energy efficiency measures are some of the most effective ways to reduce carbon pollution. The International Energy Agency, which works with countries around the world on energy policy, estimates that efficiency could reduce the building sector’s emissions by around 25%.</p>
<h3>What efficiency upgrades can you make in your home?</h3>
<p>An energy efficient home helps people save money on utility bills. It also plays a role in lowering climate-warming emissions. About 20% of the country’s emissions are because of energy and electricity use in homes.</p>

<p>Colleen Ritter, executive director of the State College Community Land Trust, plans to keep a focus on energy efficiency in all the homes the nonprofit buys.</p>
<p>“We recognize that it really needs to be at the forefront,” Ritter said. “Because if people are buying the houses and the mortgages are affordable to them… we want to make sure that the house is then affordable to them as well.”</p>
<p>Work is underway at the land trust’s latest project, a 1970s duplex on University Avenue. In March the home looked like it was made from big green legos. A grid of insulation boards was built around the house like a shell, making 9.5 inches of space from the original walls for new insulation.</p>
<p>When finished, this home will be known as a passive house, which is one of the highest standards in home energy efficiency. All the appliances will be electric, including a heat pump instead of a gas furnace. It’s airtight, keeping warm or cool air inside the home.</p>
<div id="attachment_233132" class="wp-caption module image aligncenter" style="max-width: 1280px;"><a target="_blank" href="https://www.witf.io/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/home-repair-23.jpg" rel="noopener"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="size-large wp-image-233132" src="https://www.witf.io/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/home-repair-23-1280x852.jpg" alt="" width="1280" height="852"/></a></p>

</div>
<p>“This house is going to be pretty much constant temperature,” said Karis Taddei, project manager with Envinity, which is doing the renovations. “So that alone will save tons on energy costs and it’ll be like thermal comfort in your house.”</p>
<p>The focus for the land trust is affordability. It’s listing each home of the duplex for $105,000. But there’s also attention on using materials that are friendlier to the environment and on the overall carbon footprint of the home.</p>
<p>Ritter hopes the passive house can be something of a model for other nonprofits or governments that want to make homes safe, comfortable and efficient.</p>
<p>“We’re not gonna build our way out of a housing shortage. But what we do need to do is to make things sustainable and affordable and energy efficient,” Ritter said.</p>

<h3>New programs</h3>
<p>Communities have an opportunity now to look at issues in housing and prioritize efficiency.</p>
<p>The recent federal infrastructure law expanded weatherization programs and the Inflation Reduction Act is giving $9 billion to home efficiency programs, with the goal of lowering energy bills and emissions at the same time.</p>
<p>A new state program called Whole Home Repairs allocated $125 million to counties last year to improve homes owned by people with low incomes, who often pay up to a third of their income on utility bills, leaving them unable to make the upgrades that would ultimately save them money and prevent emissions.</p>
<p>Pennsylvania, with its old housing stock, needs the help. Surveys have found that one in four voters lives in a home that needs a critical repair. Homes in need of repair are ineligible for other weatherization assistance. Advocates are pushing now to make Whole Home Repairs a permanent part of the state budget.</p>

<p>Pam Adams with the Centre Region Council of Governments has been working on proposals to expand the land trust’s Energy Plus pilot program in the State College area. She’s hopeful the new federal and state programs will achieve multiple goals.</p>
<p>“There is not just climate programs, they have co-benefits and this can help people afford their homes more,” Adams said. But there will be challenges.</p>
<p>Adams said people often don’t want government involved in their homes, and they may be too busy to realize what the programs do and if they qualify.</p>
<p>Then there’s finding people to do the work. Contractors already have more work than they can get to, so going through extra training to understand and work with government programs could discourage some from participating.</p>
<p>Some of the new state money is meant for workforce development.</p>
<p>Adams said outreach and training will be crucial to make the most of the new programs.</p>

<p>Beginning in 2021, a combination of government aid, demand for goods and bottlenecked supply chains served to increase the cost of everyday items, including housing. This is known as <em>inflation</em>. When it occurs, it generally means your hard-earned dollars don’t stretch quite as far as they used to.   </p>
<p>In 2021, inflation rose to a degree last seen in the 1980s. Since then, the costs of certain goods and housing have continued to rise, though in recent months the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.cnbc.com/2023/04/12/cpi-march-2023-.html?&amp;qsearchterm=inflation" rel="noopener">rate of these price gains has slowed</a>. Still, the <a target="_blank" href="https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/MSPUS" rel="noopener">median sales price for all houses sold in the United States has increased by nearly $110,000</a> in the past two years, reaching $467,700 by the end of 2022.</p>
<p>Starting in early 2022, the nation’s central bank, the Federal Reserve, began to combat inflation by pulling money out of the economy and increasing interest rates.</p>
<p>As a response to this change — <a target="_blank" href="https://myhome.freddiemac.com/blog/homeownership/whats-driving-home-price-growth-2022" rel="noopener">in addition to broader supply and demand concerns</a> — mortgage rates increased at the fastest rate since the early 1980s. According to <a target="_blank" href="https://www.freddiemac.com/pmms" rel="noopener">Freddie Mac’s Primary Mortgage Market Survey<sup>®</sup></a>, rates increased from slightly more than 3% in early 2022 to more than 7% by November. In recent months, mortgage rates have come down but still remain approximately double what they were just two years ago.</p>
<p>To summarize: Houses have never been more expensive and mortgage rates are above 6% for the first time since 2008. So, should you hold off on buying a home?</p>
<h2>The Case for Buying a Home Today</h2>
<p>If you’re <a target="_blank" href="https://myhome.freddiemac.com/blog/homeownership/are-you-mortgage-ready-look-gen-x-millennials-and-gen-z" rel="noopener">financially ready</a>, now may be a great time to buy.</p>
<p>Not only will buying today help you begin to <a target="_blank" href="https://myhome.freddiemac.com/blog/homeownership/20180226_what_is_home_equity.page" rel="noopener">build equity</a>, a <a target="_blank" href="https://myhome.freddiemac.com/buying/finding-the-right-loan" rel="noopener">fixed-rate mortgage</a> can stabilize your monthly housing costs for the long-term even while other life expenses continue to rise — as has been the case the past few years.</p>
<p>Housing costs increased rapidly in 2021 due to a combination of factors: inflation mixed with a high demand for housing (primarily due to low rates and work-from-home arrangements) and a low housing supply. Since rates began to rise in early 2022, housing costs have moderated. For those looking to buy now, you may expect house prices to remain somewhat stable while facing less competition from other buyers due to the current mortgage rate environment.</p>
<p>Don’t let today’s rates dissuade you, either. <a target="_blank" href="https://www.freddiemac.com/research/insight/20230216-when-rates-are-higher-borrowers-who-shop-around-save" rel="noopener">Recent Freddie Mac research</a> found that in higher rate environments, homebuyers can potentially save $600-$1,200 annually by applying for mortgages from multiple lenders. Also keep in mind that you can <a target="_blank" href="https://myhome.freddiemac.com/blog/homeownership/when-right-time-refinance" rel="noopener">refinance</a> your loan in the future if/when rates decrease.</p>
<p>On the renting side, our <a target="_blank" href="https://mf.freddiemac.com/research/outlook/2023-multifamily-outlook" rel="noopener">2023 Multifamily Outlook</a> estimated that rents rose between 6-8% in 2022, though we forecast a modest 3.9% rent growth in 2023.</p>
<p>Although rents and home prices are likely to remain expensive and may continually increase, there are advantages to buying a home today if you are ready. Rents typically increase between 3% and 5% each year, though your landlord or management company may charge more depending on the terms of your lease agreement.</p>
<p>On the other hand, homeowners with fixed-rate loans will see little to no change to their monthly housing cost over the life of their loan. You can be confident in knowing that your mortgage payments won’t change much in the long term, even when life’s other costs do.</p>
<p>To determine the best loan type for your financial needs, speak with a lender.</p>

<p>According to the <a target="_blank" href="https://pr.report/4LGWFPyr" rel="nofollow noopener" data-ylk="slk:leaders in SEO Auckland wide;elm:context_link;itc:0" class="link ">leaders in SEO Auckland wide</a>, SEO is expected to become more critical than ever before. With more and more businesses investing in digital marketing, competition for online visibility is increasing. As a result, businesses will need to focus on optimising their websites and content to rank higher in search engine results pages. Zib Digital says this will require a greater understanding of search engine algorithms and user behaviour as well as ongoing monitoring and analysis to stay ahead of the competition.</p>
<p>Zib Digital predicts that there will be a continued shift towards personalised marketing. Consumers are increasingly expecting tailored experiences from businesses and technology is making it easier to deliver personalised content and offers. Businesses that can use data to understand their audience and deliver relevant content will be more successful in engaging and converting customers.</p>
<p>The use of voice search is set to increase significantly in 2023 as more consumers adopt smart home devices and voice assistants and businesses will need to optimise their content for voice search. Zib Digital explains this will require a different approach to keyword research and content creation as well as a focus on delivering concise and informative responses to voice search queries.</p>
<p>As TikTok continues to assert dominance in the social media game, businesses will need to consider how they can leverage the platform to reach their target audience. As Zib Digital explains, this may require a more creative and experimental approach to content creation and marketing.</p>
<p><button class="link caas-button collapse-button" aria-label="" title="" data-ylk="elm:readmore;slk:Story continues">Story continues</button></p>
<p>Zib Digital predicts that artificial intelligence and machine learning will continue to play a significant role in <a target="_blank" href="https://pr.report/ewDoRJV8" rel="nofollow noopener" data-ylk="slk:digital marketing in Auckland;elm:context_link;itc:0" class="link ">digital marketing in Auckland</a>. These technologies can help businesses automate repetitive tasks, analyse data and deliver personalised experiences to customers. However, businesses will need to balance the benefits of automation with the need for human input and creativity in marketing strategies.</p>

<p>Many eagle-eyed Twitter fans noticed on Monday that the social media platform&#8217;s standard blue bird icon had been swapped out for the ever-popular Doge meme.</p>
<p>The illustration of the Shiba Inu dog, which has become the unofficial symbol for the Musk-backed cryptocurrency Dogecoin, seemed to appear randomly, though Musk Tweeted an explanation by referencing an exchange he had with a user before he purchased Twitter last year.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" alt="" class="lazyload" loading="lazy" role="presentation" src="https://assets.entrepreneur.com/images/misc/1680642256_ScreenShot2023-04-04at5.03.46PM.png" style="height:1192px; width:506px" width="506" height="1192"/></p>
<p><i>A look at the Twitter home screen for users as of Tuesday afternoon.</i></p>
<p><b>Related: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.entrepreneur.com/news-and-trends/tesla-subpoenaed-by-the-sec-again-over-elon-musks-tweets/432099" rel="follow noopener">Tesla Subpoenaed By the SEC (Again) Over Elon Musk&#8217;s Tweets</a></b></p>
<p>The user @WSBChairman joked with Musk that he should just &#8220;buy Twitter&#8221; and &#8220;change the bird logo to a doge&#8221; after Musk asked his followers at the time if a &#8220;new platform was needed.&#8221;</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
<p>As promised <a target="_blank" href="https://t.co/Jc1TnAqxAV" rel="nofollow noopener">pic.twitter.com/Jc1TnAqxAV</a></p>
<p>— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) <a target="_blank" href="https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1642976364080041984?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" rel="nofollow noopener">April 3, 2023</a></p></blockquote>
<p>Musk, who&#8217;s <a target="_blank" href="https://www.entrepreneur.com/business-news/elon-musk-sinks-tesla-shares-with-contentious-twitter-poll/395959" rel="follow noopener">been accused of market manipulation</a> for Tweeting about various stocks and meme coins, seemed to have moved the needle once again for Dogecoin, which skyrocketed <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/DOGE-USD" rel="nofollow noopener">an estimated 20%</a> yesterday after the logo change.</p>
<p>As of Tuesday afternoon, Doge still appeared in place of the bird logo on the social media platform. Dogecoin was up just under 33% in a seven-day period at the same time.</p>
<p><b>Related: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.entrepreneur.com/business-news/dogecoin-cocreator-calls-elon-musk-a-grifter-who-had/428583" rel="follow noopener">Dogecoin Cocreator Calls Elon Musk a &#8216;Grifter&#8217; Who Had Trouble Running Basic Code</a></b></p>
<p>The decision to change the logo might not have been completely random, as <a target="_blank" href="https://www.cnbc.com/2023/04/01/elon-musk-seeks-to-end-258-billion-dogecoin-lawsuit.html#:~:text=Elon%20Musk%20asked%20a%20U.S.,to%20support%20the%20cryptocurrency%20Dogecoin." rel="nofollow noopener">CNBC</a> reported over the weekend that Musk and his team filed to dismiss a lawsuit that accuses the billionaire of running a &#8220;pyramid scheme&#8221; to pump up and deplete the Dogecoin valuation via his Tweets.</p>
<p>&#8220;There is nothing unlawful about tweeting words of support for, or funny pictures about, a legitimate cryptocurrency that continues to hold a market cap of nearly $10 billion,&#8221; Musk&#8217;s lawyers stated, per the outlet. &#8220;This court should put a stop to plaintiffs&#8217; fantasy and dismiss the complaint.&#8221;</p>
<p>Musk was part of another Twitter-related class action <a target="_blank" href="https://www.entrepreneur.com/news-and-trends/tesla-subpoenaed-by-the-sec-again-over-elon-musks-tweets/432099" rel="follow noopener">lawsuit last summer</a>, when he was accused by shareholders of being responsible for tanking the Tesla stock after Tweeting that he had &#8220;funding secured&#8221; to take the company private.</p>
<p>A jury found Musk not liable for the losses earlier this year, for which Musk <a target="_blank" href="https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1621653950947799042?s=20&amp;t=8_7pYDck1-uIHYVNaKYhOg" rel="nofollow noopener">said he was</a> &#8220;deeply appreciative.&#8221;</p>

<p>Most of us dream of <a target="_blank" href="https://www.entrepreneur.com/topic/making-a-change" rel="follow noopener">making changes</a> in our lives, of reinventing ourselves and our <a target="_blank" href="https://www.entrepreneur.com/topic/careers" rel="follow noopener">careers</a>. But financial considerations, the anxiety of the unknown, and fear of <a target="_blank" href="https://www.entrepreneur.com/topic/failure" rel="follow noopener">failure</a> often prevent us from going for it.</p>
<p>Change is hard—and it&#8217;s scary. But it&#8217;s also well within our grasp.</p>
<p>Author Joanne Lipman spoke to hundreds of people who have made successful career pivots, and interviewed researchers and scientists who have studied big transitions and transformations. To her surprise, she discovered that most career changes follow a similar pattern that can be broken down into steps, which she maps out in her new book &#8220;<a target="_blank" href="https://amzn.to/3FY5A0S" rel="nofollow noopener">Next! The Power of Reinvention in Life and Work</a><i>.&#8221;</i></p>
<p><img decoding="async" alt="" class="lazyload" loading="lazy" role="presentation" src="https://assets.entrepreneur.com/images/misc/1680043282_Joanne.Lipman.headshot.jpg?width=1000" style="height:1023px; width:700px" width="1000" height="1462"/></p>
<p><i>Photo by: Gannett</i></p>
<p>Lipman&#8217;s also walked the walk. In her own career, she transitioned from being editor-in-chief of <i>USA Today</i><i> </i>and <i>The Wall Street Journal Weekend Journal</i> into a bestselling author and speaker.</p>
<p>I spoke to her for the podcast <a target="_blank" href="https://amzn.to/3FY5A0S" rel="nofollow noopener">Write About Now</a> about the steps, what she calls the 4 S&#8217;s — search, struggle, stop, and solution.</p>

<p><b>Related: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.entrepreneur.com/starting-a-business/how-to-transition-from-corporate-career-to-entrepreneurship/444293" rel="follow noopener">Considering Entrepreneurship After a Successful Corporate Career? Here Are 3 Things You Need to Know.</a></b></p>
<h2>1. The search</h2>
<p>All career changes begin with a search to do something different.</p>
<p>&#8220;This is when you start collecting information about where you&#8217;re actually going to end up,&#8221; Lipman says. &#8220;The cool thing about this search phase is that almost everybody I interviewed didn&#8217;t realize they were searching. It was totally unintentional.&#8221;</p>
<p>She cites the example of a telephone repairman, Chris Donovan, who sketched pictures of women&#8217;s shoes in his spare time. He drew these designs for years (for fun) until his husband discovered them and encouraged Donovan to pursue his love of shoe design as a new career. The result was <a target="_blank" href="https://chrisdonovanfootwear.com/" rel="nofollow noopener">Chris Donovan Footwear</a>, a successful woman&#8217;s luxury fashion shoe brand.</p>
<p>When determining your career change, take stock of your interests and passions and try not to overthink them by weighing every pro and con. Instead, trust your gut, Lipman says.</p>
<p>&#8220;People who successfully switch careers,&#8221; she says, &#8220;often cite the power of gut instinct.&#8221;</p>
<p>And research backs that up. <a target="_blank" href="https://psycnet.apa.org/record/2011-16538-002" rel="nofollow noopener">In one study</a>, British and Turkish students were asked to predict the winner of a British soccer match. The Turks, who knew nothing about the teams, were just as accurate in their predictions as the Brits. Why? Because they didn&#8217;t overanalyze all the factors —such as injuries, previous scores, and player stats — they just went with their instincts.</p>
<p>Lipman suggests shadowing someone who does what you&#8217;d like to do and take notes. Write down your goals and thoughts. Research shows that taking simple actions will help execute your vision.</p>
<h2>2. The struggle</h2>
<p>This is the toughest stage of any career change and can last an uncomfortably long time.</p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s when you&#8217;re disconnecting yourself from your previous identity, but you haven&#8217;t quite figured out the identity where you are going to land,&#8221; says Lipman.</p>
<p>But this struggle is also the most critical phase of your transformation. You&#8217;ve made the transition but are not seeing success soon enough—maybe ever.</p>
<p>Lipman says one way to manage the stress of the struggle phase is to remain nimble.</p>
<p>&#8220;People who turn failure into success do it in increments. Instead of throwing up their hands and throwing it out, they actually iterate and iterate and iterate,&#8221; she says. &#8220;They tweak, adjust, and fiddle after every flameout.&#8221;</p>
<h2>3. The stop</h2>
<p>The struggle leads you to the third phase of change—the stop.</p>
<p>Lipman describes this as &#8220;either something that you may choose, like, &#8220;I&#8217;m quitting my job.&#8221; Or it might be something thrust on you, like, &#8220;I got laid off from my job,&#8221; or there was an illness or a divorce in my family.&#8221;</p>
<p>Lipman tells the story of Marla Ginsburg, a former TV producer whose career and investments were wiped out after the 2007 television writer&#8217;s strike and the 2008 recession. She began a second career as a fashion designer, which was going fine until her son was diagnosed with Parkinson&#8217;s. This was her stop.</p>
<p>&#8220;She was in Amsterdam, only focused on her son and his treatments,&#8221; Lipman explains. &#8220;It was the weirdest thing she said because of the change in scenery plus the absolute stopping in her tracks. She suddenly had this creative spurt. She came up with this idea for her brand, which is called MarlaWynne.&#8221;</p>
<p>It&#8217;s one of the top brands on QVC and HSN, with revenues topping $60 million, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.forbes.com/profile/marla-ginsburg/?sh=12152f2f6137" rel="nofollow noopener">according to Forbes</a>.</p>
<h2>4. The solution</h2>
<p>The final chapter of your career change journey marks the beginning of a whole new chapter in your life.</p>
<p>The solution is when everything leading up to this point—the search, the struggle, the stop— coalesces, and you know what you have to do.</p>
<p>The solution is the answer.</p>
<p>Lipman talks about mega-writer James Patterson (<i>Along Came a Spider</i>), who worked in the advertising industry until he was 50. But Patterson always harbored fantasies of being a full-time novelist (the search). He published a few books and mostly got terrible reviews (the struggle), but he was honing his craft and hesitant to quit his day job.</p>
<p>Then he had an &#8220;aha moment.&#8221; He was stopped (literally) in terrible traffic on the New Jersey Turnpike, returning home from his beach house on a Sunday night.</p>
<p>&#8220;He&#8217;s looking on the other side of the road, and it&#8217;s &#8220;whoosh, whoosh&#8221;— all these other cars going back to the beach,&#8221; Lipman explains. And he said, &#8216;I&#8217;m on the wrong side of the road. I gotta get to the other side.&#8217; He returned to New York, quit his job, and that was when he said, &#8220;I&#8217;m a writer.&#8221;</p>
<p>That solution earns him $60 million a year.</p>

<p>Quiet quitting is out; quitting in its most literal sense is in.</p>
<p>In 2021, a record <a target="_blank" rel="noopener sponsored" href="https://www.cnbc.com/2023/02/01/why-2022-was-the-real-year-of-the-great-resignation.html">47.8 million employees</a> in the U.S. voluntarily left their jobs. However, that record was promptly broken as 50.5 million more people handed in their resignation letters in 2022. Just like that, the &#8216;Year of the Great Resignation&#8217; was just the cusp of an entire Resignation era. Interestingly, though, the lion&#8217;s share of those who exited their jobs in the last two years didn&#8217;t leave the workforce altogether. They simply switched jobs to chase higher wages and opportunities to work remotely.</p>
<p>Social media star Mik Zenon, who became popular for his practical #LifeHacks content, fully understands the driving force behind this mass employee exodus. After all, he made the same move one year before the Great Resignation began. He was ahead of the curve.</p>

<p>&#8220;I was a math and phys-ed teacher for about ten years,&#8221; says Mik. &#8220;I got to the point where I just wanted out of that 9 to 5 grind, be my own boss, and achieve financial freedom for my family and for myself. Teaching sure provided me with a stable income and a pension to look forward to, but I was done trading my time for money.&#8221;</p>
<p>Determined to surpass what he used to earn from teaching while having better control of his time, Mik tried several ways to make passive income. He tried stock trading, crypto trading, and influencer marketing. The last one proved to be the most challenging yet rewarding for Mik Zenon.</p>
<p>&#8220;Before I started posting content on <a target="_blank" rel="noopener sponsored" href="https://www.tiktok.com/@mik.zenon?lang=en">TikTok</a>, I was completely non-existent on social media,&#8221; says Mik. &#8220;I never had Facebook; I never had Instagram, I had nothing. But then I decided to put up a <a target="_blank" rel="noopener sponsored" href="http://mikzenon.com/">website</a> to share discount codes and other life hacks that help save people money, repurposed some of that content for <a target="_blank" rel="noopener sponsored" href="https://www.instagram.com/mik.zenon/?hl=en">Instagram</a>, <a target="_blank" rel="noopener sponsored" href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1hvx0aUibwayB4JFE0b05A">Youtube</a>, and other social networking sites, and it snowballed pretty quickly. Within a year, I went from zero to a million followers.&#8221;</p>
<p>Having built a solid following and online presence with his socials and <a target="_blank" rel="noopener sponsored" href="https://www.mikzenon.com/">Mik Zenon&#8217;s Daily Deals page</a>, Zenon found himself in the best position to launch his most lucrative venture — Amazon affiliate marketing. Now, most of his content features product reviews, but still with the comedic flair that gained him millions of followers in the first place.</p>
<p>&#8220;I always try to put humor into everything that I do, and that has helped quite a bit in terms of growing my social media presence,&#8221; says Mik. &#8220;I&#8217;d do things like mispronounce words a certain way or put certain objects in the background of my videos to get a laugh out of people and get them to engage with my content. I tried doing regular &#8216;clean&#8217; reviews but found myself bored rather quickly. I needed to add a personal touch and doing so has improved both video engagement and people seeing my affiliate links.&#8221;</p>
<p>This strategy has worked incredibly well for Mik, who now earns six figures from affiliate marketing alone. As he prepares to scale his operations by hiring a content production team, he likewise encourages those who are looking to change careers or boost their income also to consider affiliate marketing as their next venture.</p>
<p>&#8220;As the Great Resignation era stretches on, I&#8217;m sure many more people are going to be looking for opportunities to earn good money from home,&#8221; says Mik. &#8220;And if someone like me who used to be a ghost on social media could make a fortune out of affiliate marketing, there&#8217;s no reason others can&#8217;t, regardless of their background or technical know-how. Just find a way to make your content compelling, and this could be a very bankable career for you.&#8221;</p>
