The hardest part of development is the uncomfortable middle: money going out before money comes in, construction timelines, market cycles & uncertainty.
BREATHE.
One giant leap of faith, but a calculated leap of faith nonetheless.
Bulldozers have begun tearing up Big Bend National Park just a stone's throw from Santa Elena Canyon. DHS waived every environmental & cultural resource protection. No surveys have been done. We don't even know what kind of cultural history they are destroying. 📷Natalie Newman.
Can we all have a realistic conversation. What AR promotes many in traditionalist sects genuinely support. I'm personally against it but, I'm a minority. It's been trendy on the right/tradiional religious movements for years now.
@austinemarie777@AmericanReform_ No, I do not approve and will never be on board. The fact that not a single priest has spoken out in support of his opinions should be a big red flag. If he believes some clergy privately support him, we can rightly ask why they don't say so publicly.
Republicans have no idea why Talarico is gaining momentum. "He's a vegan. He said weird things about biology" - that's their argument. Nobody cares. Literally nobody cares. People have way more pressing issues over ideological talking points.
I reminisce about when I was only doing land development: acquiring land, securing entitlements, building infrastructure & delivering shovel ready residential lots/commercial pads. The risk tolerance has changed, everyone wants more certainty with vertical construction.
The last thing I want is to become a commercial landlord. Commercial costs more than residential & mixed-use takes it to another level. The goal is to build, create value, sell & recycle capital. Equity is great, but liquidity is what allows me to keep building.
People have devotion to political parties the same way with religion. One of the reasons why people resonate with Talarico is because, he's not trying to convince you to be a Democrat. He focuses on issues that affect the average Texan regardless of political affiliation.
When we read the news, it's easy to feel shocked & disappointed. But I have a lot of hope for Texas' future. The people of Texas are resilient, hardworking & focused on building something better. The future is still bright. God bless Texas!
Everything goes up with minimum wage. Everything looks good on paper but in reality, it'll strain small local businesses. California is going to get more expensive to live. From the grocery store to retail, everywhere that employs people will increase their prices.
I don't talk much about politics. Most people want the same basic things: decent paying jobs, affordable healthcare, good schools for their kids & leaders focused on solving problems instead of fueling division. That's the change people are looking for.
It's refreshing to see a politician who isn't campaigning on grievance politics. Instead, the focus is on pragmatism, bringing people from across the political spectrum together & getting things done. Concise, practical & results driven. That's the kind of leadership I respect.
They say it in good faith, despite reality. The other thing that's irritating, is the concept of courting anyone just to tick a box. Nuances are not allowed. Copy paste recommendations are the norm. Unfortunately, solitude for many is the norm.
“Get married young” is trendy in right wing discourse, but it's only actionable advice for an established couple that's been postponing marriage unnecessarily
For single people who want to be married and it's not working out, it just lands as a virtue signal
You can't snap your fingers and get a spouse on demand, sadly
Men NEVER marry women based on their potential. They marry based on who they are at that moment in time. I'm not going to address whether or not ladies should marry men based on their potential not for who they are. Someone else will pick up that fight.
Reality check: A lot of women marry men for their potential not for what they are. In fact, you'll see a lot of those comments from men right here on this platform, desperately wanting women to be with them for their potential, not what they are.
The only expectations for your employees are for them to execute their roles, efficiently. They'll be willing to work harder if they have equity in the company but most companies don't offer that. Equity is usually reserved for blood relatives or investors.
Can people act their age? If you don't want negative comments about your looks/the way you dress, have you tried not posting yourself on social media? I don't know, just a thought. People are addicted to attention.
Many countries use prison labor for agricultural & construction work. Slave labor is not the term to use. It's hard labor as part of their prison sentence.
Turns out Taylor Farms uses prison labor also known as SLAVE LABOR to pick its lettuce paying inmates a $1.00 an hour while the Department of Corections gets $4.75 an hour.
