    Everyday I search for patterns in real estate development - what makes for better traffic? What's in a city's best interest? Why do some places feel better than others? I read and watch 100’s of pieces of content, then I share and discuss the best each Thursday. 

    Whether you're a community board member, city planner, concerned citizen, small developer, real estate agent, live in the city, live in the suburbs, live the 0 commute life, or drive for hours - there's something here for you. What are the patterns of developing a successful city?  

    My promise to you, is that for the next 52 weeks, I will share news, data, stories, and work from experts in less than 10 minutes. Talk to you soon.
