Talk all you will about modular housing, there is no real solution to the looming U.S. housing crisis without a new approach to land utilization. TnE U.S. is getting uncomfortably crowded. That is what nearly every- body thinks, but it is not precisely true. Large areas of the country are still wide open spaces: Northern New.' England, Colorado, Montana. Other places—Wyoming, the Dakotas, and West Virginia—are still losing popula- tion. What is really happening is a bit more complicated: As the population expands, it is, in a sense, contracting. In 1950 64% of the population lived in urban areas; today 75% does; by 2000 85% will. But, you may say, don't people yearn for the outdoors, the wide- open spaces? Well, in a way they do. But for many people, getting away means getting away to a crowded ski slope, a busy. beach, a Caribbean con- dominium. The simple fact is that Henry David Thoreau is not quite what is happening in the U.S. today. The real problem is more. compli- cated than the theoretical one. It is: How do you get more population mileage out of limited acreage in ur- ban, suburban and exurban areas? The basic problem is this: If the overall population increases by, say, 25%, it will probably increase by 50% in major metropolitan areas. Not nec- essarily in the urban areas as such, but i' in the suburban and exurban areas. That, in many ways, is the heart of the nation's housing predicament. Why not simply extend suburbia and exurbia further out? The trouble is that people still have to get to their jobs. More highways only produce more traffic jams. A really massive high-speed mass -transportation system would cost tens of billions of dollars and just doesn't seem to be in the cards. As mass builder William J. Levitt once told FoxBEs: "Where will I ever find another potato field within commuting distance of a city?" Multiple Solutions The fact is that the typical single- family home spread out four to an acre is becoming an anachronism. It's too expensive, too hard to maintain and; frankly, it just consumes too much land. Every innovative govern- ment program now on the books de- pends on the -rise of the multi -family structure and the more economical - use of the land close in to the major population centers. And the Govern- ment is taking real, possibly profit- making steps to lure big institutional investors and major corporations into an industry that has been dominated by small thrift institutions and some 50,000 to 80,000 (depending on the vagaries of the season) homebuilders. Even the National Association of Homebuilders, trade group of the na- tion's traditionalists, hints that the sin- gle-family home won't be the mainstay it once was. "We see a revitalization of home ownership coming," says Mi- chael Sumichrast, the Association's chief economist, "and it could be in multiunits." The trend already is clear. By 1971 —or 1972 at the latest—the U.S. will for the first time in its history be building more multi -unit housing than single-family homes. Some 15 million homes are officially classified as sub- standard and should be replaced as soon as possible. The Administration is pledged to a ten-year program of putting up 26 million new units. (In the first year of that program we are only building at half the needed rate.) And the postwar baby crop is now at peak reproductive age and starting its own baby crop—pill or no. So new families are popping up at the rate of almost a million a year, double the figure of just three years ago. With mortgage rates the highest in history and many a friendly neighborhood banker demanding that the new home- buyer put down anywhere from a third to half of the purchase price in cash, the young, the middle class and the less affluent are stymied. Are we then all foredoomed to liv- ug in high-rise apartment buildings? Not necessarily. A sensible and high - Which Looks Better?

The common bond uniting all planned communities, whether they appeal more to people in their 20s or to the over -30 families and older peo- ple, is recreation and freedom from many of the cares of home ownership. Real estate man Charles Detoy Jr., vice president of the West Coast realty brokerage giant Coldwell, Banker, of- fers one reason: "Young people nowa- days are not interested in establish- ing home ownership. The tremendous mobility of the population works against it. Home ownership is almost an impediment in the sense that peo- ple are seeking greater freedom—more options in the expenditure of time and money. A home can require tremen- dous expenditure of both." Is the traditional single-family home dead? In Washington the National Corporation for Housing Partnerships, a government -backed private corpora- tion, is struggling to raise $50 million as seed money from large institutional investors for a joint national -local ef- fort to pour $1.8 billion into home- building over the next five years. As its high-powered vice president -for op- erations, Howard Moskof, puts it: "I'd guess about three-quarters of all the units we'll put up will be what you'd call 'garden -type. ' Few real es- tate men care to argue one way or the other about the apparent down -play- ing of the traditional detached home. They are unsure. The town house, garden -apartment community trend is too new in the present market. Cur- rent bizarre conditions in the mort- gage market make judgments diffi- cult. But wherever well-planned apartment communities have opened, they have taken a cue from the much maligned "senior cities colonies"; some were even aimed at just "singles." No Cars Allowed The smart builders realize there is resistance to close -together dwelling among middle-class Americans. But they also know there is a good deal going for denser land use. A half cen- tury or so ago when houses clustered together, 'even with single-family houses in the towns of the Middle West, there was community and so- cial contact. Then came the mobile so- ciety. Attachment to a community and ease of social contact suffered in the mobility. And nowhere was this more immediately evident than in the -new areas of the West, in places like .Los Angeles—less a city than a settling of great numbers of people across 461 square miles. Los Angeles is masses of people; it is no real community. Some of the most imaginative proj- ects in the U.S. are built by Los An- geles' Ring Bros., a subsidiary of Monogram Industries. At their Mead- ows project, 573 apartment units near Los Angeles Airport, the Rings have landscaped running streams, brick walkways and wooden bridges. "We tried to get rid of the feeling of a complex," says Dr. Ellis Ring, presi- dent of the company. "We can con- trol the environment, not look out on freeways. Also," he adds, "we have no Internal driveways, so no cars disturb the project." Lincoln Property Co., the Dallas - based developer of nationwide apart- ment communities, has provided a lake and waterfall at its Willow Creek project in a posh section of Dallas. Residents of Willow Creek can sit over a drink at the project's club and. look out on falling water ust as if they were in some country Cideaway, far from the sprawling city. "I liken this to cruise ships," says San Fran- cisco developer Gerson Bakar. Mrs. Mary Anne Sayler, recreation director, at Bakar's Woodlake apartments in San Mateo, Calif. comments: "It's not the typical apartment situation where you never really know your next-door neighbor. Our activities here act as a catalyst for good friendship—not to mention 40 marriages since 1965." Apartment communities are spread- ing out from the, warm -weather, out- door -living climes of California and Texas. Ring Bros. is going to build an 809 -unit project near Chicago in cooperation with Los Angeles builders Kaufman & Broad. At the same site, Kaufman & Broad is building 1,000 town houses for sale. Town houses in a single-family home area like Chicago? Kaufman & Broad people say they are selling mainly on the basis of price, with the lower price made possible by savings on land costs. "Most buyers are young people, a young couple, maybe with an infant," reports Louis Berkowitz, Chicago manager for K&B. "They are young executives not making a lot of money who don't want to rent. The town house proves a middle ground." Says Kaufman . & Broad President Eugene S. Rosenfeld: "The big reason we are going hot and heavy in town houses is Section 235 of the Housing Act of 1968." This is the provision of the Act whereby the Government pays the difference between the market rate of mortgage interest and what the home buyer can afford. Itis a subsidy based on income, but the Act also sets a ceiling on the price of the house. Says Rosenfeld: "High land costs make it difficult to build anything but 31 toren houses under Section 235." Kaufman & Broad's town -house de- velopments—three in Chicago, two in San Francisco and Detroit, one in Los Angeles—include some landscap- ing, swimming pools, clubs and other amenities. These are maintained after sale of the houses by the owners, who pay maintenance fees and thereby get out of cutting the grass. But Kaufman & Broad are more intent in keeping the cost of the town houses down— trying to stay $5,000 below the level of single-family homes in the area. K&B town houses sell typically for $15,000 to $29,000, which, is within reach of many more people than the $30,000435,000 of the good single- family tract home today. Says builder -developer Herbert J. Kendall: "Around New York, unless you are in a town where people can spend $75,000 to $100,000, the one - family house is fast disappearing. The fellow of moderate income i just priced out of the single-hous market." Kendall says that the answer is the multi -unit dwelling and cluster zoning, as in New Jersey's Twin Riv- ers community he is developing with American Standard; 5% of the unit there are single-family, 60% are tow houses, 15% garden apartments an the other 20% high-rise rental apart- ments. That way, there would b room for considerable differentiation of living styles and income groups. An Environmental Approach A spokesman for Boise Cascade Corp, puts it this way: "Most people who can afford a $20,000 house wan a $30,000 house. The only way w can give it to them is through develop- ment of modular housing methods an through better use of land." Of course, there is more involve here than simply the difference be DOUSING DEFICIT GAP WIDENS 2.4 ACTUAL 2.2 SUPPLY 2.0 to DEMAND S = Z 0 Cn is O 1.6 �..

What is really involved is a total approach to environment rather than the cutting up of land into squares and putting h boxes on them. "Today," says Peter s Tomarken, vice president of Great n Southwest Corp., the flourishing land d development affiliate of Penn Central Corp., "you have to offer a home e buyer something more than shelter." Obviously, this kind of big -scale land development paves the . way for big companies. "Builders feel that the only way they can get enough capital to continue to develop," says Great . Southwest's Tomarken, "is to get in- t volved with a company that can get e them that capital." And by and large only large companies have capital in d the quantities that large-scale develop- ments require.` Thus mergers and d joint ventures between builders and large companies are becoming stan- ..dard operation. Loew's Corp. last month announced its plans to develop a new community in Staten Island with California builder J.H. Snyder. Westinghouse Electric is involved in a - similar venture with Coral Ridge Prop- erties, the real estate developer they purchased in 1966. Last year CNA Financial paid $100 million for The Larwin Group Inc., a California home builder. In setting up partnerships, companies are following the example set by ITT, Chrysler, Ford, Boise Cascade, Alcoa and City Investing. The rising cost of money, too, mili- tates against the old-style, single-fam- ily residence. Insurance companies were long a major source of mortgage money for single-family houses. But insurance companies as well as other traditional mortgage lenders are tired of providing the capital by which other people protect themselves against inflation. Increasingly insur- ance companies are asking for some equity participation. This they cannot get in mortgages on single-family. homes. But in multi -unit develop- ments, there are ample opportunities for the insurance companies to hold onto part ownership of a high-rise apartment here, a small shopping cen- ter there, even the land under a town- house condominium. The simple fact is this: An expand- ing population combined with the ancient human urge for people to live in communities is going to put almost unbearable pressure on the available urban land. Cluster zoning and in- creasing use of town houses offer an intelligent, economical and practical way out. The town house also offers tremendous opportunities to business- men with the capital and imagination to meet an ancient need in new and imaginative ways. ■ FORBES.
