Find a house

1) The first step is to look for a house we can all live in, for year or two, and we can check out where is the best place to find new houses, or land, to buy where we can build new ones for us, or for sale or rent to others. We need room for about eight people with five bedrooms, three bathrooms, a kitchen, dining room, some working space where we can work together and some storage. We will probably only have one car, so a double garage would do if we left the car on the street. It there is a triple garage we could keep the car inside or use some of the space in it for a workshop.

2) We want our house to be within 15 minutes of the Bluewater, a massive shopping complex). It also has about 3000 additional parking spaces next Ebbsfleet Terminals, across the street. Any other houses we want to buy or build should be equally close, or even less, to Bluewater. Ebbsfleet is very close, ie about 17 minutes by rail, to St Pancras and Waterloo, in London. little over an hour to Lille, Brussels, and barely over two hours to Paris. Their system, the Eurostar, also means that we will have practically no need to produce CO2 during travel, by car, air, or their train. Near Ebbsfleet is a much better place for us to live, as well as for our customers who buy or rent our property, as we all can save much time and expense.

3) For our new house, and the houses we buy and build to sell and rent to others, we will be engineered to cut their CO2 emissions by up to 67%, and thus the cost of electricity and gas needed, equally.

4) We will make sure our house, and our new ones built for sale or rent, will also be very well equiped with communications, and access to the Internet, so that much work can be done effectively, and money earned without leaving home, thus saving time and money.

5) I am using the Google Earth to test the time and cost of travelling by road from verious towns to Bluewater, and thus next door to the Ebbsfleet Terminal (when it is ready in November of 2007). It seems that as far west (of Bluewater) as Swanley, Kent would take about 10 minutes,
Dartford, Kent would take 9 minutes, Gravesend, to the east, would take 11 minutes. The nearest, Greenhithe, Kent, just to the north, near the Thames would take only 4 minutes by car. We had looked carefully at Sevenoaks, where there is some land available. It is 17 minutes away from Ebbsfleet. I also have emails with Goggle Earth aerial maps of these routes which I will send you if you can display them.

6)BTW: Bluewater is the best shopping center in the UK in both size and accessibility from population centers of Britain and Europe. In addition to the Eurostar, our strategy is to make it accessible with low-CO2-emission, hydride automobiles whenever it is necessary to travel instesd of using the Internet to buy things.
