Deep dives on real estate, economics, and NYC’s future
(for people in a hurry 🏃‍♂️💨)

@KennyBurgosNY If the city concedes that NYCHA requires external funding to remain solvent (w/o raising rents), wouldn’t that same logic apply to the city’s rent-stabilized housing stock? 🤔

Nobody wants the Chrysler Building. Rising ground rent, falling office demand, and few options left.

New York City has a host of building code rules that make construction uniquely expensive.

It's part of the reason why only projects with rents at the top of the market can pencil out.

[Washington Post Opinions @PostOpinions]

New York City is the most expensive place on earth to build new housing. Why is that?

@RealNileBerry breaks down why costs are so high, resulting in so many luxury apartment buildings. But, he argues, it doesn't have to be this way.

Other cities have found common-sense ways to fix the rules. New York City should be next.

Google has the money and resources to scale globally. Costs will come down and their system will have several revenue sources. Like ads. Tesla has a level two vision system that has many issues. $tsla $goog

💰 Private Equity: The hottest trend of the next decade for private equity will see them purchase companies, make them remote-first

The cost saving in real-estate at scale will be eye-watering. The productivity gains will be the final nail in the coffin for the office

@CelsiusNetwork Don’t worry guys! Deposits are still working

@elonmusk could the next gen of Teslas have customizable buttons behind the steering wheel? Would give users a really convenient/safe way toggle various preferences (i.e. chill/sport mode, save a dashcam, open glovebox, etc)

QR Code menus at restaurants mean that prices can now dynamically change per table, per time of day, per meal, per size of party, per... anything

How would you know what the table next to you pays?
