SUMMARY:Les Scheinfeld- Habitat for Humanity
DESCRIPTION:At LIMBA we like to promote infrastructure that will have a large and lasting impact on the quality of life on Long Island. We also give voice to those people that embrace needs\, even if the scale is small. \n \nHabitat for Humanity’s Les Scheinfeld made a presentation this morning at a LIMBA meeting. Astoria Federal Savings was the sponsor of the meeting. \n \nHabitat has been building houses around the world since 1988. They have built 88 of those houses on Long Island. They will build another 12 by 2006. Given the need for affordable housing\, this does not seem to be an adequate response to the problem. But\, as usual\, there is more to the story.\n\n \n \nThe labor needed to produce these houses is voluntary. Astoria Federal Savings Bank helps fund the organization\, and Astoria personnel give their free time to the projects. They also encourage other businesses such as Lowe’s to provide materials and labor. Unions have contributed labor and training for the volunteers. Skilled retired people give a lot of their time too. What emerges is a picture of people helping people. “Barn raising” in America is not dead. \n \nAlexis DeToqueville\, a Frenchman traveling through America in the 19th century\, made some interesting observations on the way Americans behave as a community. He observed that Americans tend to create ad hoc solutions to problems as they see them emerge. That was\, and is\, the spirit that inspires this call to action. Habitat has\, in my opinion\, has been a catalyst in furthering additional community action. They portray this communal effort as fun. It is fun. Learning and building creates satisfaction\, a sense of neighborhood\, and\, oh yes\, housing.\n \nThe program this morning was inspiring and thought provoking. Adequate housing is so fundamental to our needs. Most of the people in the room either have a home\, or a home is a realizable dream. I think it is important that the workforce has a decent place to live. Habitat is making their effort. \nEMF\n \nOn the 26th of May the HIA is holding its trade show. THE BEST TRADE SHOW IN TOWN. LIMBA will have a display booth showing the achievements of LIMBA. Paul Townsend was justifiably proud of LIMBA\, and we will continue to have an impact on the shaping of Long Island future. Please plan on attending.  www.hia-li.org for details

SUMMARY:Robert Yaro\, President\, Regional Plan Association
DESCRIPTION:This morning we heard from an old friend of LIMBA Bob Yaro. Mr. Yaro is the president of the New York Regional Plan Association.\n \nBob started with a challenging proposition. We can be an example of how a region will function or\, a good example of how not to operate. \n\n\n \nYaro made the following observations;\n\nWe need new patterns of growth on Long Island because the zoning we have today is unsustainable. \nThe rural and natural areas of the East end can be preserved and doing so will have a positive effect on the economy. Growth Vs preservation is a non-choice \nInstead of Long Island being the leader in the NY Region’s economy\, it is now emerging as a drag on the region. Most of the many new jobs in New York City went to New Jersey rather than Long Island. Why? Because we need a more efficient and attractive\, as well as\, less costly means of transportation to the city. \nThere is little progress in getting the changes we need because of what Yaro calls the “pull up the drawbridge” mentality.\n \nYaro cited the need for the third track on the main line of the LIRR. We also need to properly fund the remaining work on the East side access to NYC.  \n \nWith the region growing\, the share of new jobs for Long Island should be 1/2 million. That just isn’t going to happen unless we address the problems that need attention. \n \nAfter hearing Yaro\, it makes me wonder if we are not just drowning in our own stupidity. Perhaps we are\, but is the job of those of us who try to lead is to make the case for intelligent change. \n \nOn a positive note Yaro said that he believes the leadership of Suffolk and Nassau under Steve Levy and Tom Souzzi is excellent and therefor hopeful. \n \nWe adjourned the meeting at 9:38. Some of us went into Great Neck for a memorial service for our founder\, Paul Townsend\, which commenced at 11AM. I could not help thinking that Paul has been citing much of the shortsightedness that is plaguing us now. Paul always saw the opportunities for Long Island\, but he was never blind to our myopia. He pressed on nevertheless. We must do so as well.  \n\n\n \nI was asked to speak at the memorial\, which I considered a great honor. \n \nRemember\, there is no meeting next week
