@elonmusk Fybr makes parking occupancy sensors.
Real-time availability of spots and loading zones.
Turn-by-turn navigation to open ones nearest your destination.
See the whole city/landscape of availability and it automatically guides you.

@arpitrage My company makes water level radars that can constantly report level changes during critical times.
Can be used for road closures, evacuations, sewer system monitoring and more.
Infrastructure needs to change in cities but this can save lives.

@tunguz AVs are going to shift curb space from dedicated parking to loading zones.
They will also require more active policing and potentially even dynamic pricing. Think airports.
Unpopular opinion.
These types of developments are probably necessary for downtown to increase its tax base given its infrastructure but they won't contribute to and will likely inhibit the vibrancy of downtown.
Too many high-rise developments that try to be everything keep everyone inside all of the time.
The antithesis to the vibrancy, interaction, and diversity of use across storefronts needed for cities to thrive.

We will need more and more midrise developments that increase the diversity of use for every one of these big ones.
@realEstateTrent Technology & leverage has the potential to trick us into believing the same amount of output is expected and it moreso will do the work.
The reality is the expected output is many times higher and the grind is just as demanding, if not more.
