Life is hard but nothing -- I mean nothing -- beats Valencia, Porto and Split. Jokes aside, for what these charts are worth, I'd not overlook this quadrant

🇺🇸 United States 2, 🇦🇺 Australia 0 Alex Freeman scores. What a story he is. The 21 y/o didn't make his first MLS start for Orlando City until February 2025 A year later, he was an established USMNT regular and earned a transfer to Champions League side Villarreal.

What’s stopping us from building one project like this in every neighborhood in America?

Sneak peak of our next pocket neighborhood in development. Almost through entitlements. 34 units with townhomes, live/works, and flats. All rental on a single parcel (~1.1 acres). Just a few blocks from Townsend. It’s an upper-end market rate project that will compete with Class A multi-family—but a much better living experience. Just got our first preliminary renderings back for markup before adding color from JJ Zanetta, an artist we always work with on our projects. Co-GP’s on this one with Canvas Development and Architecture. Im really excited about this one. More coming soon! @EddieCoates @matt_hayes4

Part of the magic of a walkable neighborhood is the spontaneous interactions Yesterday, we walked to dinner. When we got there, our next door neighbors happened to be there, too So we ate together! Four adults. Three kids. Completely unplanned In most neighborhoods, that couldn’t happen Grabbing dinner with neighbors becomes a project. Coordinate schedules, pick a place, load into the car, drive across town There’s too much friction, so it just doesn’t happen. Families eat alone. Neighbors stay strangers

More roads should be toll roads People should pay for transportation systems they find valuable. That includes busses, trains, AND roads.

What slightly-unhinged views on urbanism/cities do you hold dearly? Hobby horses and petty beefs?

Entrepreneurs are the ones who actually make neighborhoods walkable The cafe on the corner, the neighborhood bar, and the local restaurant, only exist because someone took a huge risk to create something special

A few examples why real estate is a great career pivot for former athletes Soft skills and grit are valued more than credentials
Moses Kagan
@moseskaganFeb 10
In real estate: 1. No one cares where you went to college 2. No single gate-keeper decides if you're allowed in, & 3. You don't necessarily need to leverage someone else's organization to create value You find a deal that makes sense, figure out how to get it done, & go.

The secret’s out on North Carolina
Governor Josh Stein
@NC_GovernorJan 30
North Carolina is the third-fastest-growing state in the country, and this is the best place in the country to live, work, play, and raise a family. We welcome the 150,000 new people who came to North Carolina this past year. You’ll surely love calling North Carolina home.

@YIMBYLANDJan 28
Last year I decided I was no longer satisfied just posting about housing. So I started a company with 3 other incredible dudes with the mission to build missing-middle housing at scale. Introducing... The American Housing Corporation It’s time to rebuild the American Dream.
