Physical Conditions
 

What czb does:
Analyzes a community’s capacity (social and legal) to maintain and continually reinvest in high quality physical conditions of public and private properties

Context:
Properties are the continual recipient of reinvestment
“In-between” properties (neither obviously public nor private) are in a high state of repair
Public property enhances the value of adjoining private property
It makes social and economic sense to invest “above” or in front of the market
