Hi, Iā€™m Joel.

I love to learn, experiment, read, ride my bike, among other things. But most of all I love to build. I love building buildings, neighborhoods, incentive structures, technologies, and of course essays!

This newsletter has evolved over time to be about how neighborhoods and cities get built. The field of real estate was forever changed by the overnight widespread adoption of remote work and I want to understand what this means for the future of the field.

Much of what worked for development in the past won't work going forward, and most of what will work going forward doesn't yet exist. This newsletter exists both to understand what no longer works and to invent the needed new practices.

As will be apparent, I am not a professional writer. This is not my job. Iā€™m just a guy working on stuff he finds fascinating and who wants to share my interest and work with others. Thanks for joining along šŸ˜Š
