The
Bigger Homes Bigger Baths On Way Back
Builders are expanding homes with more bedrooms and larger baths. Compartmentized designs allow three family members to use the bathroom simultaneously. The Plumbing Heating Cooling Information Bureau notes options to split spaces and add junior fixtures for children, later upgrading to standard sizes.
Flexibility in Zoning Laws Suggested
A legal study by the Urban Land Institute and the National Association of Home Builders promotes flexible statewide zoning to curb urban sprawl and foster planned unit developments with common spaces. The guide outlines procedural safeguards, quotes University of Pennsylvania law professor Jan Krasnowiecki, and credits Richard F. Babcock and David N. McBride for draft ordinances. Copies cost 86 cents and are available in Washington.
