Changing offices into housing?
Aug 17
As a former architectural project manager and the author of “The End Of Homele$$ne$$” I can tell you vacant offices will never become a solution to the housing crisis. Owners simply have soured on the conversion costs, conforming to the long tradition of landlords are cheap as they come. On the other end of the equation, society doesn’t want to solve homelessness. I solved it and showed a 6.75% profit for my system. Nobody was interested in government, public-private partnerships, law enforcement, business associations, investors, financiers and celebrity advocates for the cause. One VC in Silicon Valley read the proof on concept and stated, “Your idea will make money, just not enough for us.” Pitched it for years, nobody even replied. A couple years ago, folks would have killed for six and three quarters percent gross margin.
Concierge Organic Landcare
Aug 12
I got my “start” on the journey to adopting primarily organic practices and native plants in the landscape by enrolling in the Continuing Education Sustainable Landscape Management program a dozen years ago. “Organic” wasn’t yet the mantra. NYBG is not Mt. Cuba Center! Perhaps a “partnership” would be mutually beneficial and accelerate awareness. Sharing content on this podcast between the two might be a great starting point.

I really enjoy these pieces during my commute. They’re short and packed with information. There’s so much news out there and things to catch up on. I feel this is a great way to get information in a manageable way.
