Data shows that St. Johns County is the least affordable county of the eight counties in the area. Experts say that makes it difficult for many workers there to find a place to live.
Experts say that makes it difficult for many workers there to find a place to live. And it’s becoming harder and harder as deep-pocketed investors and new Florida residents flock to a county known for its top school district and beautiful beaches.“The new homes that we’re building and the new rentals we’re building are designed to try and stabilize our existing workforce.
“It’s a problem in St. Johns, it’s a problem in Duval. The city of St. Augustine is really concerned about their employees, the people working for the city. They’re all starting to live in Putnam County. That’s not sustainable. They need employees closer to where they work,” Nazworth said.Part of the issue, Nazworth said, is that wages are not keeping up with skyrocketing housing prices. Both nonprofit leaders say the local, state and federal governments need to do more to address the issue.
“We need to appropriate more to affordable housing, especially affordable rental housing, it is the greatest need,” Nazworth said. “The easiest thing [the community can do to help] is if they have land that might be suitable for housing, to try and find an organization to work with to turn that into housing, especially in the faith community. Maybe they were going to open a school or open a second church or something like that, and that just didn’t come to fruition.

Do Your Data Scientists Know the ‘Why’ Behind Their Work?Data science has been around for a long time. But the failure rates of big data projects and AI projects remain disturbingly high. And despite the hype, companies have yet to cite the contributions of data science to their bottom lines. Why is this the case? In many companies, data scientists are not engaging in enough of softer, but more difficult, work, including gaining a deep understanding of business problems; building the trust of decision makers; explaining results in simple, powerful ways; and working patiently to address concerns among those impacted. Managers must do four things to get more from their data science programs? First, clarify your business objectives and measure progress toward them. Second, hire data scientists best suited to the problems you face and immerse them in the day-in, day-out work of your organization. Third, demand that data scientists take end-to-end accountability for their work. Finally, insist that data scientists teach others, both inside their departments and across the company.
