What czb does:
Develops public and private sector strategies to grow confidence and grow the quality of neighborhood stocks that “pull” investments IN

Context:
	Residents behaviors are not fully confident or unconfident about the future
	Residents and outsiders have a “wait and see” attitude resulting in too little obvious signs of investment as a sign of confidence

What czb does:
Develops public and private sector strategies to INCREASE demand, make time on market more
competitive, and attract investing better grades of inmovers

Context:
	Supply and Demand bounce back and forth; resulting in a kind of equilibrium that generates “affordable” housing” due to persistently marginal neighborhood conditions
	Real estate prices rise slightly and fall slightly periodically
	The market appears to “urban pioneers” as a good “buy low” opportunity
	Racial and economic homogeneity are relatively mild to low; usually a good degree of “fleeting” diversity
	Under the right circumstances, gentrification is a potentiality

What czb does:
Develops strategies to increase capacity and willingness of residents to undertake
“more than their fair share” of problems, and to solve problems as they arise

Context:
	Neighbors win some and lose some with respect to warding off threats
	Some problems that arise are solved quickly; others linger. Often this occurs in concentrations by blocks, too spotty to be neighborhood-wide
	Public Institutions sometimes but unreliably accountable
	Properties communicate a very mixed degree of care. Large unexploited infill opportunities

What czb does:
Analyzes a community’s physical assets and other stocks in their inventory, and develops a sequentially phased revitalization strategy to increase the quality of the built environment

Context:
	Properties are inconsistently invested in
	Physical fabric has many missing teeth
	Most properties do not generate enough equity to leverage reinvestment
	Under-invested properties are beacons to “buy low” opportunities
