> The problem with housing is that the supply is very fixed. This claim seems to be the root of every anti-AirBnB argument: AirBnB rentals eat into the resident housing supply. But this is simply solved by zoning and regulation. In an

I moved from Seattle to San Francisco a couple years ago, asked Yelp for the best coffee and was sent to Philz. I experienced some culture shock learning that San Francisco's top coffee shop didn't serve espresso. The idea of a c

What I find more interesting is that parking SHOULD cost more than it does, and if it did, Uber would win the cost-value comparison hands-down. Americans subsidize parking by imposing fees on developers who don't include "enough&q

If I were a Vegas bookie, I'd think Ello has perhaps as high as a one in 10 chance of becoming the next major social network, and on the low end a one in 1,000 chance. A $20M valuation would place them at one 10,000th of Facebook. Pre

You might be surprised. The cost of a bike lane averages $130,000 per mile. The cost of an urban road averages $4,000,000 per mile, per lane. Not to mention better bike infrastructure reduces car traffic: more bikes means fewer cars, the bi

The real estate market is huge and inefficient, a ripe opportunity for technologists to capitalize on. But I don't understand what Zillow brings to the table. Do they have any plan beyond their current business model (advertising)? A

I am not exceptionally smart, but I am a "hard worker." I often work nights and weekends, and I don't hate it. As a result of my efforts, I am more skilled, and consequently enjoy a more lucrative position than I otherwise w

The intersection of Mission & 16th Street is price-equivalent to Greenwich Ave & Jane Street. Assuming price per square foot is a proxy for the ratio of demand to supply, these are the most coveted locations to live in the world. S
