Tenants with friends in a building are much more likely to renew. Even 1 friend increases the chance by 30%!

Rather than amenities, Landlords should focus on things that help Tenants make friends - not just the occasional cheap cheese plate or grab and go breakfast in lobby.

[Ben Pleat @BPleater]

@Clint_MyersDC @bobbyfijan @bobbyfijan this is awesome and what we have built @livecobu around (we've seen 10-17% lifts in retention in apartment buildings with strong communities). A vibrant sense of community -> happy residents -> stickier customers & higher retention/NOI

This is an amazing PM gig. What would you do if you had tens of thousands of captive users?? And incredible equity comp to boot!

[Smukler @smukleberry]

Can you feel that? There’s something in the air...and no I’m not talking about the smell of reefer across all of NYC.

It’s the opportunity to enable a higher quality of life for a lot of people post-pandemic. And it’s on the back of more flexible work policies.

“The essence of the conflict today, really, is cars versus people... We can have a city that is very friendly to cars, or a city that is very friendly to people. We cannot have both.” -Enrique Penalosa, former mayor of Bogota, Colombia.

Despite ominous headline, we remain bullish on co-living as do others nationwide. Will COVID-19 spell the end of the co-living trend in Boston? ⁦@nationaldevelop⁩ ⁦@InkBlockBoston⁩ ⁦@ElkusManfredi⁩ https://t.co/JpJ1jAzwCU
