This is, somehow, meant to be an anti-Sherrill argument, but even when trying to pretend affordability would be bad they make the upzoned city look unfathomably cool. We could have this. You could afford to own a home and start a family. It'd be amazing.

Vote for Stephen Sherrill in D2 so we drastically transform the Marina into a hyperdense waterfront urban center. Let’s make it look like Miami! We could fit 200K-700K MORE people in D2 alone. 90% of the city wants this!

The future isn't inevitable. The best investors and builders are the ones who remain genuinely optimistic about human capacity without becoming messianic about their own role in it.

New post in my "How to Think like a VC" is up! "Visions of the Future": how to cultivate the mindset that enables you to be open to insane ideas, but also honestly evaluate them--and how to find the people building them. This thread is a preview. Link to full post at the end.

Earlier in my career, the biggest thing I missed was how relationships and power drove investments and outcomes often more than research and analysis did. Figuring that out gave me a more accurate model of the world and made me a more effective operator and better investor.

Continuing the reading list I wish I had when I started investing: How to Think Like a VC. Part 6 focuses on business & investment strategy: not just operating & investing frameworks--that'll just get consensus outcomes--but how to see your own blind spots & think independently

founders often wonder what VCs are looking for underneath the pitch. i wrote a post to answer that honestly. VCs aren’t underwriting the plan. they’re underwriting whether the founder can grow into a sequence of harder jobs without becoming the bottleneck.
