As we watch the pandemic bubble pop, you may want a primer on what fuels construction and overbuilding in commercial real estate (hint: the answer is in the title of the book).

Now available in paperback, From Boom to Bubble by Rachel Weber is an unprecedented historical, sociological, and geographic look at how property markets change and fail—and how that affects cities. Learn more here: https://t.co/MEiypQWbGT @soyrachelweber

I'm researching how real estate speculators use forecasts & other calculative techniques to make future-oriented decisions. Turns out the speculators themselves are the crystal ball. @hgillers

If municipalities want to create and capture "new" property tax revenues to pay for infrastructure, they shouldn’t be actively destroying them in the process.
