The Future
Culdesac Tempe
It makes sense to build communities in the desert and run them off solar. In the video, she says they want to build one for 100,000 people! Phoenix, that featureless and ever-spreading tundra of concrete, has been called “the world’s least sustainable city.” It has...
Single Agency
The pandemic is still raging, the President of the United States is in the hospital, the election is right around the corner, and so are the holidays. The frenzy has to slow down at some point, doesn't it? So I schedule for 11am, and show up to find today's list of...

Reader AI said that "Eventually the big guys will own the entire process from beginning to end and the consumer will suffer, and pay more to do so". Zillow is on the verge of owning the entire process, but they aren't the only ones trying. Here's another example: In...
