Letter from The President March is one of those months where the sun shines bright and the wind blows cold. Spring is in the light and winter is in the shade. For Builders, this can mean two steps forward and three steps back depending on the weather on any particular day. March on. Work hard when the weather is on your side and work smart when it gives you a few setbacks. We have a lot to be grateful for this month and several opportunities to keep us moving forward. One of our goals for 2019 is to produce future employees for the skilled trades industry. Our industry covers a wide range of careers including project management, mechanical, electrical, and residential construction. Local construction technology and engineering programs have limited resources to provide additional courses in these areas. Through the use of job shadowing we can enhance high school student’s opportunities for learning more about these career opportunities. Rochester Area Builders provided job shadow opportunities for Kasson-Mantorville high school students on March 14th. Thank you to Widseth Smith Nolting, Kuehn Motors, Ryan Windows and Siding, Kraus-Anderson, IBEW Local 343, Kruse Lumber, Valor Mechanical, Crenlo, and Benike Construction for participating in this important program and for opening the door for students to get a better understanding of their operations. This is just one of the ways we can take steps to increase the pool of our potential future employees. We have two of our biggest events of the year coming up and I encourage you all to become involved by sponsoring, participating, and attending. First up is the 6th annual Studs, Struts & Stilettos fashion show. This important event is designed to showcase the creativity and resourcefulness of our community, while at the same time raising funds for Two Rivers Habitat for Humanity (formerly Rochester Area Habitat for Humanity). All designs will be inspired by well-known or influential works of art and will be created from materials used in the building industry. Visit the RAB website to purchase tickets and vote for the People’s Choice design. Next up is the Spring Showcase of Homes. This event is a great opportunity to highlight the amazing designs and construction services our members bring to SE Minnesota. The Showcase takes place the two weekends after Easter, April 27-28 and May 4-5. The final deadline to enter a home, townhome, community, or development is March 28th. Contact Audra at Audra@rochesterareabuilders.com to submit your entry. In conclusion, I want to reiterate the importance of the community that RAB provides our members. We are all very proud of Rochester Area Builders and of the countless advantages it affords our members. Membership in the Rochester Area Builders, Inc., is a powerful tool which, can have a positive influence on your business and personal growth when you become involved and learn how to cultivate the many opportunities available to you. RAB and CEDA are hosting an afternoon Area Community Development Opportunities on March 28th. Social hour is sponsored by RAEDI. Join us from 3:00 to 5:30pm to hear from surrounding communities as they present commercial and residential development opportunities as well as any incentive programs they have in place. Our next Networking Night is at Kruse Lumber on Tuesday, March 26th. It will be a great evening to establish new relationships within RAB and stay connected to current ones. Part of participating in RAB is being an advocate for membership. I encourage you all to invite young professionals to 40 Below’s social at Glynner’s Pub immediately following the Networking Night on the 26th. You can also join them April 11th from 4:30-6:30pm at Charlie’s Eatery & Pub for Building Relationships. As always, do your part to ensure the many programs, opportunities, events, and services provided by RAB are supported. Our strength lies in our members and we appreciate everything you do to help our organization thrive.

The Green New Deal Is A Bad Deal Elliot Eisenberg, Ph.D

hile advocates of the Green New Deal (GND) suggest it will solve a multitude of problems by combating global warming and creating millions of well-paid jobs, the reality is that the GND is a profoundly expensive plan that takes leave of all economic principles. Within only its climate change portion, the GND ignores entirely the fact that CO2 emissions are a global — not local — problem; it fails to reduce carbon emissions most cost effectively; and suggests nonsensical ways of paying for the program. The biggest problem with the GND is that it targets only US emissions, while extreme weather and rising sea levels come from global ones. Today, the US contributes 15% of global carbon-dioxide emissions, China contributes 30%, and India 7%. Under existing policies and goals, in twenty years, the US share will fall to 12%, China’s will drop to 27% and India’s to14%. Thus, even if the GND reduces US emissions to zero, we will benefit little unless other nations do the same. One way around this problem would be to invest in innovations that other nations can easily adopt. For example, pressing to invent low cost solutions that reduce carbon emissions in manufacturing and agriculture and then sharing them globally, as Germany has done with solar panels, would make a huge global dent in CO2 emissions.

FOUNDATIONS March - April 2019

A second problem is that the GND only focuses on removing certain sources of carbon-dioxide by trying to achieve 100% renewable energy in a decade. The cost to do this would top $4 trillion -- well over a full year of tax revenue. This works out to $110/metric ton of carbon dioxide avoided. The cost of weatherizing every building in the US to “maximum energy efficiency” is projected to cost $400 billion or $285/metric ton. If this sounds expensive, it is! President Obama’s economists put the harm of a ton of CO2 at $50. In New England, you can pay a power producer $6 to reduce CO2 emissions by a ton, $15 in California, and $25 in the European Union, based on emission permit prices in these jurisdictions. What is needed is market mechanisms that incentivize carbon reduction at the lowest possible price regardless of the source. Finally, defenders of the GND propose paying for this ill-advised plan by taxing the rich and having the Federal Reserve finance it. While the Fed could buy GND bonds, it can do so only if it helps it reach its own congressionallymandated goals. While the Fed would return any interest earned on its holdings of GND bonds to the Treasury, it would have to sell an offsetting amount of Treasury bonds in the first place — otherwise it would compromise its control of interest rates. What if the Fed just printed money and used those

funds to buy GND bonds, as was the case with Quantitative Easing? If the economy were in a recession, rates would be low, but they would also be low if the bonds were sold to investors, so the savings would be slight. And if the Fed bought the bonds in a healthy economy, when rates are above zero, like they are currently, it would have to pay interest on the reserves it issues to banks, offsetting the income earned on the bonds as it does now. In summary, the GND suffers from several serious flaws. It imposes huge upfront costs on our economy, yet only slightly reduces the negative impacts of domestic carbondioxide emissions. In addition, it substantially overpays for the CO2 reductions it accomplishes by needlessly prioritizing certain CO2 emissions over others. Lastly, having the Fed buy GND bonds essentially works only in a recession, otherwise necessary offsetting maneuvers largely, if not completely, negate the interest savings.

Keeping Construction Sites Clean Help Make Rochester A Litter Bit Better! April 27 – May 5, 2019 During the week of April 27 – May 5, over 3,000 volunteers from our community will be out in force collecting trash and recycling to beautify the City of Rochester and give a helping hand to our great outdoors. They would love for you to join them! Will you help make Rochester A Litter Bit Better! by properly managing your waste onsite? The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency’s Construction Stormwater Permit overview states: “Pollution prevention management measures include the storage, handling and disposal of construction products, materials and wastes to minimize exposure to stormwater and prevent polluted runoff.” Proper waste management will not only help you comply with your permit, it improves environmental quality and shows community pride. Steps to managing your construction waste: 1. Identify all storm drains and conveyance systems near the construction area and keep them free of garbage. 2. Use fencing to construct a “garbage corral” or have a dumpster placed on the site in a convenient location with easy access. Keep the container or containment area covered to prevent the wind from carrying away waste.

Eastside Pioneers www.RochesterAreaBuilders.com

3. Inform vendors and subcontractors of your waste management plan and locations of receptacles to ensure they keep your site clean by putting debris in the correct place. 4. Walk the site daily to collect renegade trash. A perimeter fence tall enough to catch windblown debris is another option to prevent debris from leaving the site and becoming litter. 5. Transport your waste to a permitted solid waste facility before the container is overfull. Make sure the load is covered during transport. 6. Recycle. By sorting your construction waste or demolition debris, you may be able to save on disposal costs. Over 135 tons of litter has been picked up by volunteers in the past 12 years of A Litter Bit Better! events. Not only have these efforts removed trash from the environment, but it has also prevented litter as clean environments discourage littering. Litter-free landscapes also make our community a healthy place to be. Help us break the litter cycle by participating in the annual Help Make Rochester A Litter Bit Better! Clean-up Event. Contact Stephanie Hatzenbihler at 507-328-2440 or stormwater@rochestermn.gov for more information and questions. Registration is open from March 4 – April 27 at www.RNeighbors.org/litterbitbetter

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Bill Von Bank Director of Marketing and Communications billvonbank@dmceda.org 612-327-4285 Private Investment Doubled in the DMC District in Rochester, Minnesota Exceeding a Quarter Billion Dollars in 2018 (Rochester, MINN) March 21, 2019 - The Destination Medical Center Corporation (DMCC) today announced that private investment in the Destination Medical Center (DMC) district totaled $262 million in 2018, a 100 percent increase over 2017. The 2018 private investment will release approximately $13.5 million in state public infrastructure funding. Since 2013, DMC has generated more than $690 million in private investment for development in Rochester. “This is good news and is demonstrating that the DMC model is working,” said DMCC Board Chair R.T. Rybak. “Investors and developers are supporting the DMC vision. Their investments in Minnesota’s largest economic development initiative will benefit the entire state.” “The downtown we envisioned just a few short years ago is becoming a reality,” said Lisa Clarke, DMC Economic Development Agency executive director. “The infusion of capital that is transforming Rochester is creating new living and hospitality choices as well as opportunities for startup businesses.” Private investment in 2018 exceeded all previous DMC single-year investment totals. Among the highlights were: • Mayo Clinic investments totaling $126.5 million, the largest single-year total and a year-over-year increase of $40.5 million (+47 percent) • Non-Mayo private investments of $135.4 million, the largest single-year total and a year-over-year increase of $90.4 million (+201%) • Private investment in 2018 qualified DMC for $13.5 million in 2019 state aid

FOUNDATIONS March - April 2019

To release state funding over the span of the initiative, DMCC must present the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED) with an annual accounting of qualified private investments in the DMC district. DEED is then responsible for certifying the investments and qualifying DMC to receive state funding for public infrastructure projects. Nine project grand openings are scheduled in the DMC district in 2019. About DMC Destination Medical Center (DMC) is the largest public-private economic initiative in Minnesota's history. The 20-year plan to transform Rochester into a global destination for health and wellness will attract developers, investors, startups, and entrepreneurs to live, work and play in America's City for Health.

A Walk-in Pantry is the Most Wanted Kitchen Feature

walk-in pantry is the most wanted kitchen feature, with 83 percent of home buyers reporting it is an essential/ must have (32 percent) or desirable item (51 percent). This data comes from NAHBâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recently released report, What Home Buyers Really Want (2019 Edition), which is based on a survey that asks recent and prospective home buyers (people who bought homes in the previous three years or are planning to do so in the next three years) about the features they want in their home and community, including in the kitchen. To ascertain a better understanding of the most sought-after home and community features, NAHB asked home buyers to rate a comprehensive list using a four-tier scale of essential/ must have, desirable, indifferent, or do not want. Figure 1 shows the kitchen features with the highest total combination of essential/must have and desirable shares.

BY CARMEL FORD on MARCH 14, 2019

Coming in a close second, a double sink side-by-side was rated as essential/must have or desirable by 81 percent of home buyers. In fact, 42 percent of home buyers rated it an essential/must have item in the kitchen, more than any other feature on the list. Three other kitchen features are wanted by at least three-fourths of home buyers: a table space for eating (78 percent), a central island (76 percent), and a granite/natural stone countertop (75 percent of home buyers). Along with a walk-in pantry, two other kitchen storage features make the list: pull-out shelves (73 percent) and special use storage (wine rack, etc.) (63 percent). Other items in the top ten include recessed lighting, rated essential/must have or desirable by 69 percent of home buyers, as well as drinking water filtration and customized backsplash, each rated essential/must have or desirable by 68 percent of home buyers.

Homeownership Rates by Race and Ethnicity BY CARMEL FORD on MARCH 13, 2019 The Census Bureau recently published data on homeownership rates from its Housing Vacancies and Homeownership Survey (CPS/HVS). A previous NAHB blog shows that the overall homeownership rate increased to 64.8% in the fourth quarter of 2018, up 0.6 percentage points from the fourth quarter of 2017 (64.2%) (Figure 1). Figure 1 also shows that the overall homeownership rate bottomed out at 62.9% in 2016, but has been on a consistent path upwards since then.

The all minority homeownership rate, which includes black/ African-American, Hispanic, and Other households (Asian, Native American, Pacific Islander/Hawaiian), reached 47.7% in the fourth quarter, up 0.3 percentage points from the same time last year (Figure 2).

FOUNDATIONS March - April 2019

Figure 3 provides a further breakdown of the all minority homeownership rates, along with the homeownership rate for white (non-Hispanic) households. In the fourth quarter of 2018 (compared to the fourth quarter of 2017) the black homeownership rate grew by 0.6 percent to 43.6%, while the Hispanic homeownership rate grew 0.3 percentage points to 46.9%. Meanwhile, the Other homeownership rate was flat at 58.1 percent during the same period. In comparison, the white (non-Hispanic) homeownership grew by 0.9 percent to 73.6% in the fourth quarter, more than the all minority homeownership rate.

Since 2016, when the overall homeownership rate reached a trough point, the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Otherâ&#x20AC;? category experienced the greatest gain in homeownership among the three minority groups, with a 3.9 percentage point increase (fourth quarter of 2016 to fourth quarter of 2018). Meanwhile, the Hispanic homeownership rate grew by 1.8 percentage points during that time frame and the black homeownership rate grew the slowest among the minority groups (1.3 percentage points).
