Downtown San Antonio would be fantastic … if there were more long-term residents down by the riverwalk Right now, it’s mostly tourists & hotels Though a friend did the Tower Life building conversion to apartments. Which is a great project https://t.co/d2HDrKQKDz

“Where do YOU send YOUR kids?” Is the most important question for education policy. And doubly for politicians. Those who advocate a thing for someone else’s kids, that they do not follow themselves … should be given very little weight. 4.1K views · 38 likes · 1 reposts · 4 replies Open on X →

People love to say our cities are not great. They are. We’ve just forgotten how to make more of them. And chosen to forbid any attempts. https://t.co/EJIfWO9m2u

@YIMBYLAND @rileymeik @DeveloperHarris Lastly, I believe firmly that in order to solve the housing problem, you have to build beautifully I want all our stuff to be nice enough that I'd be proud to live there https://t.co/Txcu9AwS5T

@YIMBYLAND @rileymeik @DeveloperHarris There's a tremendous amount of work ahead.

@YIMBYLAND @rileymeik @DeveloperHarris Fundamentally, I don't think families care about HOW their houses are made.

@YIMBYLAND @rileymeik @DeveloperHarris Living and working on the east coast, the housing type that we have most "forgotten how to build" is the Rowhouse. Attached, high quality, non-combustible, and small ... so that it's affordable Many of the most in-demand neighborhoods, are 4.5K views · 70 likes · 0 reposts · 1 replies Open on X →

@YIMBYLAND @rileymeik @DeveloperHarris Lots of other companies have tried to "solve" the housing problem What makes our different is that the technology is a MEANS to an END.

But last year, I met @YIMBYLAND and @rileymeik and @DeveloperHarris ... and both the solution and target clicked We all bonded over the problem: "People who want to have kids and start a family, can't find housing" but what the approach crystalized into was it was through 5.1K views · 75 likes · 2 reposts · 3 replies Open on X →

I had a few different opportunities to start a "branded" company around building housing for families, but it never felt right because scale of the solution never seemed to meet the urgency and scale of the problem Every City in the US is attracting young worker.

The problem really boiled down that its REALLY hard to build infill housing. And 2 things about it are: It's MORE expensive to build small projects It MORE difficult to raise capital for small projects Developers, contractors and investors all want to do big deals.

I first started attacking the problem through floorplan data: "Surely, there must be a way to make existing large apartment buildings more family friendly" I compiled the largest floorplan database in the US Largely through the community that was ReTwit in 2020 and 2021, I got 6.3K views · 84 likes · 0 reposts · 2 replies Open on X →

Over the next 7 years, my wife and I had 3 kids and raised them there. We chose the building because it was 8.1K views · 102 likes · 0 reposts · 1 replies Open on X →
