Travelling with 3 children under 4 and just waiting for @KenyaAirways to
cancel my 2nd flight in 48hrs (not fog, just incompetence). Never, never, never again!!

@StDaveMc @salukifan111 @finndiana_j0nes @jimrosecircus1 Looks like an American but don’t let that stand in the way of your prejudices!

@antonyslumbers My guess is that it’s a short-cut to generating content while the Emperor’s new clothes remain in place.

[Bert Broadhead @building_our]

@MattAshman Great effort... makes my own zwift efforts feel fairly feeble!

[Bert Broadhead @building_our]

@RetailProphet Will look forward to reading @RetailProphet

@antonyslumbers Took me a while to get around to reading but is an interesting summary. The potential of remote working to open job markets up to wider geographies (and i’m not just talking about a few miles out of town - more different parts of the planet) is going to be interesting

[Bert Broadhead @building_our]

@antonyslumbers And yes, to be fair, his quote is out of context of the wider article

[Bert Broadhead @building_our]

@antonyslumbers Fully agree with that

[Bert Broadhead @building_our]

@antonyslumbers That’s before you start questioning quality of home environments and whether wfh is going to be a barrier to social mobility etc. So yes, everyone should be thinking about work with a more open approach but it is not one or the other

[Bert Broadhead @building_our]

@antonyslumbers I have no doubt that wfh can be a solution for some workers and industries, whether as a few days a week, or even in its entirety. My point is that the original quote about WFH productivity vs office is facile as it totally depends on industry, type of work, type of employee etc

[Bert Broadhead @building_our]

@antonyslumbers Totally agree - it’s just the quote you cite suggests that working from home > office work which is a pretty facile point of view.

Great left-field choice of real estate book recommendation too! https://t.co/MmRFuArLyr

*PODCAST* Tim Panagos of @Microshareio explains how embracing smart technology can adapt buildings to a post-Covid environment.

Given the increasing lack of relevance of ⁦RICS⁩ training, ludicrous members’ fees and now this governance farce, there must be a gap for a modern scheme to train real estate professions with relevant skills?

*NEW PODCAST EPISODE* Andrew McMullan of @McmullanStudio talk designing with wellness in mind, better quality affordable homes aimed at young, rural demographics and generational housing. https://t.co/SzxwzZhh6M

[Bert Broadhead @building_our]

@antonyslumbers @BetterCity @pewresearch Have to agree that the question is pretty loaded on this one! "Fine with" and "worn out" by aren't exactly a balanced either / or question

@dlharrell @Shaftesburyplc Correct. Vacancy is 10% but that’s twice what it was. Likely heading in one direction unless rents are actually market to market / reality as opposed to what the valuers say they are / were.

[Bert Broadhead @building_our]

Pandemic toll hits Shaftesbury as vacancy rate doubles... and yet the ⁦@Shaftesburyplc⁩ response is that vacancy > accepting rents below old ERVs on renewals. Broken model based on flawed valuation system which we have seen before in retail.
