One set of producers I wanted to reach out to was Rock the Block. My proposal was that the best design for disabilities on a given week get half the bonus money of the winner of the overall design. So if Hometown wins the first week, they get $1000, but if Farmhouse Fixer does a more disability friendly design they get $500. It's possible to win both. I figure it's a huge incentive for that type of show.
I don't follow the Property Brothers as much as some of the other shows, but I think having them visit the different shows in different parts of the country to talk about two things: local regulations and weather issues (including earthquakes) that they need to design around. Having lived in New England, DC, LA, and now Georgia, I recognize that the different regions have different eco needs. HGTV gets the cross-pollination it loves by having one of their most popular shows visit some of the less popular ones, and it can enlighten.
We went to Charleston this weekend. The Weather Channel ran a simulation based on the National Weather Service that shows Charleston underwater by 2075 or sooner. Savannah is a bigger port and only 115-ish miles farther south, but we'll be fine because most of the city is built on a somewhat sheltered bluff. (Tybee, Skidaway, and the other islands will probably be joining Charleston and Atlantis under the sea.)
Send me an email through Dreamwidth with your preferred email address and I'll link you to the letters I wrote. They're old now, so help with updating and maybe outlining some other suggestions would be welcomed.
