@FCNightingale (2/2) big question is what happens to Hartford’s market, which is largely priced on cash flow, when taxes increase to match new fmvs? I worry Hartford may face the largest residential property tax increase in the country. And stalling the reval may not be enough to avoid it

@FCNightingale (1/2) The quiet part: Hartford has one of the lowest homeownership rates in the country ~23%, leaving speculators to drive the market. Pair this with the fastest price appreciation in the US and assessors have a clear and justifiable lever to crank residential assessments

Constitution Plaza Hartford, Connecticut Purchased for $71M in 2015. Unable to pay off or refinance $51M owed in 2024. Appraised at $13M last year. Mayor seeks to delay real estate revaluation: "Hartford Mayor Arunan Arulampalam is going so far as to seek approval in the legislature to delay the city’s real estate revaluation, due this year, until 2027. The worry is that dramatically lower office building values will shift a heavier burden onto residential properties. Downtown offices have traditionally been the bedrock of real estate tax revenue in the city." -Hartford Courant #commercialrealestate

Would be curious to know examples of companies started in the 2000s and have reached venture scale without venture funding More and more I find myself telling founders that there are alternative and more sustainable capital available for early stage companies looking to launch

Doing market research around proptech for a class - specifically the gap between selecting a home/rental and identifying a neighborhood to begin the search in. Gathering market research through a survey. Would love 3 minutes to collect your thoughts: surveymonkey.com/r/228R8NX

Perhaps 8/10 people I talk to about my skincare routine are shocked when I tell them that I wear sunscreen. Both white people AND black people. Point blank, everyone should wear sunscreen eternaldermatology.com/should-black-p…

PE is so wild bc they will just take an existing thing, torque it a bit, infuse it with massive loads of cash and next thing you know there’s 8 Club Car Wash locations within 2 miles of your town and everyone all of a sudden has monthly subscriptions to wash their Toyota Highlanders 16X a month

According to reports, Metropolis is paying $1.7B for SP+. Their current market cap is trading around $1.0B. The stock jumped 45% on the news. The prior peak market cap was $974B as of 2019, likely reflecting the view that this company is worth more under tech- focused leadership

3. Parking operators who control these locations are not equipped to go at this alone. They will likely need tech-focused partners to build integrations, improve customer experience and lead the transition of these assets from car storage facilities to mobility service facilities

Heard from @JoelWish in an MBA class today. Failure as the entry price of growth was a big takeaway for me and also something we don’t talk about enough. Working to change my mindset to make growth the goal and accept failure and success as byproducts of the journey
