@aaron_lubeck I'm sure there are people teaching it. Every architecture student wants to do this in some way.

In my opinion, more than 75% of every urban planning, architecture, and landscape architecture program today should focus on “SPRAWL REPAIR”. The work is endless. And virtually nobody is teaching it.

If you agree that location beats volume, like and comment below. I breakdown more real estate strategies like this every week.

Stop obsessing over unit count. Start obsessing over zip codes. The "crisis" is actually an opportunity for those who can execute on small, difficult sites. That is where the alpha is hiding.

Developers are fighting over suburban dirt. They build thousands of units hours away from economic centers. Then they wonder why their margins compress. They are solving for volume. They should be solving for access.

I spent years working on $600M+ mixed-use developments. I saw the patterns up close. We don't have a supply problem. We have a LOCATION problem. There is a massive difference.

Data confirms housing crisis is misunderstood. Most people think we just need "more homes." They are wrong. Building massive supply in the wrong location solves nothing. It just creates cheap inventory nobody actually wants.

I share insights on ground-up development and market analysis. Follow me for more strategies on finding value others miss. Like and comment if you are willing to do the boring work.

You do not need an insider at City Hall. You need internet access and patience. Stop looking for the "secret." Start reading the PDFs. That is how you beat the market.

Early market shifts are not for sale. My wife asked why I was reading city council meeting minutes at 7 AM on a Saturday. She told me I need a hobby. She is probably right.

Do you prefer consultants who validate you or those who challenge you? Drop a comment below. Like and share if this changed your perspective.

Demand professional dissent. Look for the partner who risks your annoyance to protect your capital. That is the only loyalty that matters.

True expert consultants challenge your deepest assumptions. If you leave a meeting feeling perfectly validated, be worried. Comfort is often a signal that the hard work hasn't been done.
