About the cover: Any geologist glancing at our cover would immediately think, “Oh look, columnar joining!” For the non-geologists among our readers, this curious feature is formed by the heating and cooling of rock (typically basalt) causing columns (typically hexagonal) to form. Rock formations like these are found in places like New Zealand, Ireland, California, and…at Compton’s Peak in Virginia’s Shenandoah National Park. Learn more about the park, and other great outdoor recreation locations, inside! Cover photo courtesy Jessica Bowser.
New Frontiers in Affordable Housing
Inside:
- Financial Policy Intern Reports
- Spotlight on Chilhowie
About the cover: Between 1908 and 1940, it was possible to purchase a home from the Sears catalog. To many at the time, this seemed both odd and innovative. But while the process may have been different, the affordable homes themselves proved to be familiar and long lasting. In fact, many are still standing and happily occupied. Catalog homes (not to mention catalogs themselves) may be a thing of the past, but a new frontier in affordable housing beckons. In this issue of VTC you’ll learn more about how the affordable homes of the future will be put together employing new techniques such as CrossMod construction and 3D printing (like the home on the cover).
