If your whole thing is being a "renter's advocate" and you aren't running full speed towards this you are probably doing something else

[Maxwell Alejandro Frost @MaxwellFrostFL]

As housing prices increase, homelessness increases.

Homelessness is a housing problem.

[Kevin Erdmann @KAErdmann]

btw, have you heard? We can't have a housing construction boom because we just don't have the labor force.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@realEstateTrent LLM product must inspire users to speak against powerful who benefit from status quo (SFH Owners, Realtors, Mortgage Issuers, Trade Unions, Planning & Zoning Boards, etc). This is y RE profs are “unafraid:” AI is a new tool, but hasn’t unlocked new emotional dependency (yet). 3/3

[Will Sternlicht @wps113]

@realEstateTrent Uber only beat taxi 🚕 reg capture bc of HUGE consumer popularity. What FREQUENT painful processes in RE can LLMs simplify? Frequent is 🔑. There has to be an emotional tie to disruptive products’ continued existence that motivates consumers to ADVOCATE. 2/3

@jasoncrawford Truly unbelievable, who could’ve seen that coming! 😮‍💨

[Will Sternlicht @wps113]

@mwmoedinger What tools in your current workflow / tool box are you most frustrated by? What do you wish all the tech founders thing to “help” understood about construction, architecture, development?

[Will Sternlicht @wps113]

@elonmusk is master of having his cake and eating it too. If he gets “voted” out, he can spend more time @Tesla again & stave off a potential shareholder lawsuit and have a scapegoat. If he gets voted in, he has the power of the people behind him to enact his vision.

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

Should I step down as head of Twitter? I will abide by the results of this poll.

[Will Sternlicht @wps113]

Wild to see @elonmusk crowdsourcing impt decisions after his incredible success w/ a more autocratic/decisive style @Tesla @SpaceX & @boringcompany. Wonder what insights @Twitter have led him to change his style so dramatically?? 0r is it CYA if he’s unable to turn it around?

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

Going forward, there will be a vote for major policy changes. My apologies. Won’t happen again.

[Will Sternlicht @wps113]

@balajis This is a ridiculous and useless comparison. SF 100% has its problems and its gov is a monument to ineffective governance, but it’s not like the Mayor and supervisors have autonomous discretion over that budget like an individual billionaire does over their own cash…

[Will Sternlicht @wps113]

@UrbanLandRent 😍😍😍

[Will Sternlicht @wps113]

@UrbanLandRent How about MixedCore (mixed use mixed transit), BodegaCore or ConvenienceCore (everything you need on your block, easy to get off it). I like BodegaCore 🏬 the most personally esp in as a direct comp to CottageCore 🏠.

[Will Sternlicht @wps113]

Surprisingly great metaphor for how confusing Left NIMBYism can be.

[Phil BuildTheFutureNow 🇺🇸🦅🌲💙 @PhilSustainable]

@christianbrits Tickets for the Taylor Swift concert are too expensive, so we are blocking her request to add extra concert dates unless most of the seats are $10.
This will surely stop the ticket scalpers.

[Will Sternlicht @wps113]

Super excited to see where this goes! 🎨🖌Congrats on the beta launch 🚀

[Rohan Doshi @RohanLikesAI]

AI design tools are static (can't iterate/extend) and high-friction (need GPUs/Colabs). So I built Outpainting Studio, the interactive AI design platform, bringing you the latest #stablediffusion magic without the pain. Private Beta (<1000 spots left): https://t.co/4VTqLGwzsI

@moseskagan To the inevitable "but where will the workers live?!" Orgs like @PalletShelter r already experts at creating dignified, temporary, housing & could easily help migrant communities. More affordability means more supply, more labor, more density, & yes, more renter protections too.
