Oh, it's funny you should mention your HGTV campaign--I've been thinking along similar lines. I imagine writing a letter to the Property Brothers and encouraging them to take on a "challenge" (they seem so popular now) to design the perfect house. Jonathan, I know, is interested in global issues around housing and climate change. I would want them to bring in widely respected experts to discuss the issues in TV-friendly ways, make decisions big and small (size, location, etc.), and keep bringing in more experts for everything from design to construction. The kicker? The "perfect" house must be accessible, must be eco-friendly, must be affordable, must be attractive, must be "safe" as possible for its location (think flood plains, quakes, hurricanes, etc.) and must be suitable for everyone from a single person to a family, to a senior couple. Maybe encourage watchers to vote on their favorite proposals or enter to win a built house...
