Yes, but what if the vampires, werewolves, and other supernatural beings were the policy failings we met along the way?

Lots of discussion has focused on Renters' Rights Act and how it hasn't affected institutional investment but rather already aligns with the existing BTR/single family housing business model: a professional housing service.

Good discussion here about where UK Living (BTR, coliving, PBSA) is right now and where the opportunities are. Think those organisations that can consider development and viability fundamentals while connecting policy and soft-power city-region politics will get a headstart on opportunities.

On my way to The Oval for Living UK Conference! Geopolitics and macroecon are producing headwinds for the sector but we're seeing activity build momentum now. As ever, feel the most important discussions will focus on public-private partnerships and aligning incentives.

Having said that, Grand Prix 2 on DOS is a close second. Racing dad's times but he'd be on a harder setting and a manual gearbox. Outstandingly good game for the time.

Definitely Sonic 1. Aged eight, spent a whole Saturday afternoon sat on the floor with my Game Gear plugged in at the mains completing it with my dad who'd do all the levels I hated (Labyrinth, Jungle). Halcyon days.

One of the things the pandemic did was it made the link between population health and the economy really obvious - they are not separate, they are fundamentally related. I worried we'd lose some of this over time. Now we're pitching an economy of a population without enough/varied food.

It'd be amazing to have a systems-thinking approach to a medium-/long-term housing strategy - connecting sectors and behaviours in an ecosystem that adapts to changing factors or conditions.

My whole career has basically been flicking between 'build more homes' and 'fix local gov finance'. And even these are linked!

I'd imagine a good chunk of those 'neither' votes are actually 'don't knows' too, which is the only real response you could have, surely? Having said that, I did want to QT with *land klaxon* to see what'd happen here.
