In the wake of the violence that erupted earlier this month at a white nationalist rally in Virginia, Asheville City Council approved a resolution condemning the actions of white supremacists and racial violence in Charlottesville. The resolution passed at its Aug. 22 meeting reads , in part: The Asheville City Council do hereby reject the message of all hate groups; renounce racism, white supremacy, anti-Semitism, the KKK, neo-Nazis, domestic terrorism and hatred; declare that those who want to spread hatred, bigotry and violence have no place in the city of Asheville; and commit to ensuring that Asheville remains a place of love and compassion, where hate is not, and never will be, welcome.

Hobart, managing member and co-owner of Hobart Historic Restoration of Cedar Rapids. The suburban single- family home isn ’t going away, but so-called mixed-use projects incorporating residential and retail, commercial and sometimes even light-industrial spaces in the same or adjoining buildings offer different options to residential and business tenants. In some places — think dense urban neighborhoods and small- town main streets with apartments above ground-floor retail shops — mixed-use patterns never went away. Mixed-use is especially appropriate in Iowa City’s central neighborhood...
