Re: GBlist: comments on housing costs (Mathis, Kadulski)



"So the risk takers however few, need to carefully align their interests
with professional groups that do not want to hinder progress, and that
do not fear change.  One way to spread risk would be to establish a
"Building Innovations Risk Bond Fund" that would encourage investment
in new technology by providing an "insurance" pool to help remediate failures 
that innevitably come with the "learning curve" of innovation.  
Such a program could be operated as a not-for-profit foundation".

We would invest in such a foundation if the experiments were truly oriented
to the practical.  And of course we would view it as a long-term investment.
