Our company was founded a little more than a year ago ... but we've already built our first rowhouse My company is The American Housing Corporation.  We're a real estate development (and manufacturing) company building rowhouses designed for families: the American Starter Home Our mission is to solve the problem (at scale): "How can we build housing in places where young people already live, so they have kids and stay?"

@mwmoedinger stunning transformation!

Little snapshot from our shoot at a completed project last week...before and after 🪄

@mwmoedinger Love the details

How to make an addition to an old house so it looks like it belongs! A lot of our work is on older homes, and our clients often ask us to make updates and additions that "blend in." Here's how we did it on a 1920s house in suburban Boston 🧵 (Scroll to the end for the tl;dr)

What's a good hashtag for these unsolicited text requests for donations? I hate them so much.

I think people should start posting and critiquing the unsolicited spam donation texts they get.

@yimbylosangeles Nice. That’s my Fairfax project. The actual building looks better than the renderings

🚨 West Hollywood City Council meets tonight to consider reform measures to streamline the approval and permitting of new housing. Email publiccomment@weho.org by 12 NOON TODAY to express your support for making it easier, faster, and cheaper to build homes in West Hollywood!

@DodgersNation I smell a sponsorship opportunity @TOTOUSA

@soulkhan @print__head tell me more about this cabal 👑

@print__head it's definitely not the same thing! landlords in this city can and will warehouse and sit on empty units and jack up rent even in spite of increased supply unless legally constrained and compelled!

again, at least in nyc, the real housing crisis is about the declining affordability of existing units and the threat of evictions, not supply. you not wanting to live in a prewar building that's an extra 10 min subway commute is not the housing crisis.

Hard to pinpoint the why of these trends. But from personal experience, many of us moved from asia to Europe in ~2020 due to COVID, stayed here, then prices started rising fast, and the value/$ is less here now Asia seems to be rebounding and people are discovering it again, it's very affordable, extremely safe, food is great and people are hospitable and nice In a time when other places like Western Europe are only getting exponentially more expensive and less safe! Places like Dubai seem to get a lot outflow from people sick of places like UK. They seek affordability and safety. Lots of friends who made this move now too Brazil is interesting cause it's now getting consistent growth regardless of its famous issues with safety We also have to talk about Asuncion in Paraguay, it's seeing extreme exponential growth. And from the reviews on Nomad List, it looks to be very safe and very affordable. A special combo for Latin America (usually expensive and unsafe!) Very interesting to follow!

@bobbyfijan Love the dining nook

The key to a good rowhouse is the ground floor Here's the current iteration of the design I'm working on now. Total unit will be ~1600sf 4BR/2.5BA

@JulieChangRE Yep. Our podium units in our 5 over 2s have the best noise control. Too bad type 1 doesn’t pencil for the whole building

@shaw You can. Concrete slab

Multi family needs this Rockwool insulation for sound proofing Who’s going to build the future of multi family in an ecosystem and with the lifestyle the modern renter or buyer wants? Hint it’s not the small gym or podcast room

@mwmoedinger I love my vitsoe but this is truly special

Bucket list moment: I'm now the proud owner of an original CADO System piece! 🥰🎉🥹 Got it installed at Runcible HQ today, across from my desk, so I can see it all the time. Designed by Poul Cadovius in 1960, restored/sourced for me by George from MidModDecor near Philly.

@bobbyfijan Very efficient… similar layout to my old apt

My current favorite 4-plex or 6-plex design: 1230sf, 3BR+Office/2BA And at 54' wide ... means it can fit on a 6000sf single family lot or a mixed-use area

@mwmoedinger Love these details and craftsmanship!

Primary suite details...almost done! Notes: - those drawers go back into the eave - much deeper than they look! - this was an existing roofline we were working within - this is all custom, designed by us, built by talented local guys - this is a high-end custom full gut reno

Grateful for your support! Thanks for being a beta tester. The possibilities truly are 🤯🤯🤯

@HIDEO_KOJIMA_EN Brilliant adaptation!

I've just finished watching through eight episodes of "3 Body Problem." The original novel by Liu Cixin is depicted on a grand scale and in a unique style. With a slow-paced introduction, the ensemble drama spins a timeless story with intersecting characters. Abstract and surrealistic images, like that of "a blink in space" and "a countdown reflected on the retina,” are very difficult to visualize. Though this is an invasion from outer space, it is much more complicated than simply showing a large mother ship flying into a big city, attacking, and defending against an army, in a similar fashion to films like director Emmerich’s. However, the way this has been incorporated into a drama series with a worldwide perspective is brilliant. David Benioff and D. B. Weiss have done a marvelous job. By replacing the setting, era, and characters, extracting and adding elements, upping the tempo to make it suitable for a tv series, and rhythmically arranging cutbacks and cliffhangers, they have sublimated this work into an entertainment for everyone – those who have read the original work and those who have not – while retaining the essence of the original. The show ends midway through the second book. I do not know if there will be a Season 2, but I am sure that more people will reread the original story after watching this, or they may be encouraged to read the rest of it. In any case, "The Three-Body Problem" is said to have been "read by all mankind.” Those who have not yet read it will be able to experience it through this drama. Especially for those who are tired of Hollywood blockbusters, this crazy, novel science fiction is sure to be a blast.

@nagda Congrats! So happy for you guys!!
