Americans are searching for a clear picture of what the future will look like given the tremendous force that is about to be exerted by the Obama Stimulus Package. This spending is not only a stimulus package but an effort to change economic and industrial direction for our nation from one that we know is depleting to one that we hope is sustainable. Like when a rock hits a wall it changes direction, so our economy has "hit the wall" and is certainly changing direction.So what could this new model look like? How can we use less energy and still live a more fulfilling life? That is the question many Americans are asking and when a writer, Neshama Abraham wrote a little piece exploring this and looking at Oshara Village in Santa Fe New Mexico as a model, the internet picked up on it and made it the top pick for the Google search "Obama Future Today"
Oshara Village has super energy efficiency and mixed-use design that will provide homes, jobs and schools in walking distance. The Plaza and the first 40 homes are complete and a new line of Gold Certified, more cost efficient homes have emerged as a result of this economic change in direction. The first 20 families, the Oshara Pioneers are quickly becoming a community and more are moving in every month. Google "Obama Future Today" and see what the future might look like.
