Yes indeed…. Probably selling a bit late but alas…. The idea of being a landlord in Seattle is not appealing!

Hah, you got me to tweet! :-P
I’m fixing to sell my house, so I was digging into the data. Seattle is falling faster from where it peaked, but maybe because it had a crazy-high peak? 🤞

If you look at listings per 100 housing units, it… Doesn’t paint such a dramatic story at all. It’s higher than a few metros (NYC, SF), but lower than Austin, Miami, Phoenix, Tampa, Atlanta, Dallas, Denver, Houston, LA.

Apparently!? Hotel web sites tend to be pretty hit or miss for direct bookings, but maybe I need to suffer through that variability.

What the actual heck?!
1/ .@bookingcom Sick w/ a positive covid test on the road.

Big news: I’m launching a new podcast!
It’s called @ABraverWay, and it’s about how you (yes, YOU!) can disagree about politics without losing heart. ❤️
Sound on for the trailer… (1/3)

Green shoots I see in America right now:
1. Industrial policy and the factory boom
2. The YIMBY movement
3. The rise in young people's wealth
4. A whole bunch of new inventions
5. The re-fragmentation of the internet

Or The Amazon Echo leaders talking about Siri / Apple Homepod.
Cell phones were ubiquitous and daily-use products— and Apple made them great.
Not the case (yet) with VR.

Risks of one-time use and risks of frequent long-term use.
This is the way.

That’s… MMF? (Marketing Market Fit)
You can make a landing page that looks cool, promises all sorts of compelling features that spark curiosity, seem valuable, paper over costs and complexities for the user, emphasizes the positive emotions around the idea, etc. That’s not PMF.
