This week, we published the three-year
strategic plan for Shareable. Starting in the New Year, we're going to
ramp up the number of stories we produce, diversify our coverage,
deepen our influence with decision-makers, and expand our partnerships
with news outlets and other organizations. We've committed to be more
transparent, diverse, community-driven, and community supported.
Moving forward, we'll also be engaging our readers more in our work —
we look forward to hearing your ideas and suggestions!
 Despite being a pioneer in homesharing
regulation, Amsterdam still faces many of the issues other cities face
with Airbnb and their ilk, including a lack of tools to determine who
is violating city rules and renting properties illegally.
For seniors who want to age in a
supportive community environment, cohousing is an exciting alternative
to traditional options such as retirement homes and assisted living
centers.
Growing cities across the U.S. and
Canada are grappling with the challenges of displacement and
affordability in their housing markets, and many of them are looking
to Cascadia’s innovative cities for answers. Portland, the smallest of
Cascadia’s three major metropolitan areas, has perhaps one of its
biggest and best ideas: the "residential infill project."
Public libraries
are home to a lot of things besides books these days: makerspaces,
cultural programs, art events, coworking spaces, teen
centers, Libraries of Things, tool libraries and more. But one library
in Blackpool, England is using its space to fight loneliness and
isolation on a very human scale — by creating a public living
room.
 Featured Events
