I'm very proud release a project I've been working on for 18months: the *first* rigorous study on floorplans & families. ~10K person survey & 40pg paper on: Do floorplans matter to families, or people who want a baby? Turns out, YES! And having an *extra* bedroom matters MOST

Turns out, YES!

First, here's a link to the entire paper. I'll go through a few key points. I won't get to everything (and frankly there's a lot since it's pretty in depth) Don't worry if you don't catch everything ... I'm gonna spam the s*** out of this for YEARS ifstudies.org/report-brief/h…

If we want more families and children, we should be incentivizing more 2 and 3 bedroom apartments. The cool thing about this study is that size doesn’t even matter! People literally just need bedrooms!

There’s such an obvious gap in the market for building apartments for families that want to continue living in the neighborhoods that they’ve occupied pre-kids. Especially as more and more millennials are trying to start families. Someone is going to make a killing doing this 👀

There’s a lot to love about the plan for California Forever. It has the foundations for a world-class city. Here’s what I see as a few of the highlights: Simple but crucial, California Forever sits at the intersection of key passageways: road, rail, and waterways. A foundational

Over 2,000 Irish pubs have closed down since the year 2005, almost 25% of the total number of pubs in Ireland. If we lose the pubs, we lose the culture. This is worth protecting.

The International Code Council probably impacts your daily life more than 99% of the US Government. Let that sink in. An unelected, non-profit, industry cabal, literally tells you how, where, and in what manner you are allowed to live. Insanity.
