Have a Haven

Michigan’s in a bit of an odd place. It’s considered a climate haven, a place that can protect people from the worst of climate change. But its literal havens—our homes—are causing problems. They’re old, expensive, elusive and, in fact, causing climate change. In the first episode of our four-part green buildings miniseries, Crain’s Detroit Business reporter (and Detroiter) Nick Manes joins us to talk about the state of housing and how it serves as both a problem and a solution to our state.
